  • How I manage to do it is by changing my own perspective. Instead of thinking “I’m looking at a cube”, I focus on parts of it. For instance, at the very center of the drawing, there is a small square with nothing else overlapping it. That small square has two triangles touching it’s top left and bottom right corners. By trying to perceive those 3 figures as the main part of it, I was able to stop seeing any depth.

    Another way is to turn the entire drawing around. The absolute top right 90° corner and the absolute bottom left 90° corners can be viewed as one aiming up and one aiming down, or as left and right. You essentially turn the drawing into a rhombus in your mind with extra details



  • I loved the view, plus you get the option to ride a quadbike up instead of walking it, and since it was my first time riding one, it was a massive plus.

    The very top was incredibly cold but I got to see snowed mountains and clouds literally around me. And when I said you lose your ability to breathe I also meant that literally, since facing the side from where the wind is blowing while standing at the peak makes it so you cannot breathe in, and instead you have to turn away.

    Other than that, however, there isn’t much to do there. I would prefer to go again after training so I can walk it instead, since that sounds more fun.






  • It’s based on some studies that show some correlation between teenagers being more aggressive when playing violent games, done by psychologists and whatnot. It’s not a matter of prohibition, but just to discourage it.

    The actual psychologist’s conclusion is that if the parents keep a good relationship with said teens, that is more likely to keep their aggressiveness down, since there’s no actual way to link games to violence directly. So this is more along the lines of taxing cigarettes and alcohol to make it so kids don’t isolate themselves or grow addicted, as well (or so they claim).

    Also, the tax is 8%





  • Not so much a death threat but more of an indirect “kill yourself” through Reddit’s care package system.

    There was a comic strip/meme someone posted that was a reference to Romeo & Juliet and some people in the comments didn’t understand it, so I gave my attempt at explaining the connection. Not only did I get my first taste at how heated Shakespeare nerds get about things not being exactly the same to count as references, but someone straight up just sent me a care package in good ol’ Reddit tradition of love and peace.

    Genuinely concerning how people get so angry at such a minuscule thing.





  • There’s a I guess you could call niche? trope? in some fantasy anime/manga where the protagonist is actively trying to be a villain but is constantly being misunderstood by the people as being some sort of saint.

    I can think of two different ones from the top of my head, one called “I’m the Evil Lord from an Intergalactic Empire” and another called “The Mistaken Saintly Life of a Villainous Scion”, the former fitting closer to what you asked for than the latter. Note, however, that I am not recommending either of them. The former is entertaining enough and I haven’t read the manga to give an opinion on it, but the anime isn’t that big of a deal imo, whereas the latter is just straight up trash.



  • There has only been one alcoholic drink that I’ve enjoyed and it was because it tasted more like juice than alcohol. Also I was 17 at the time (accompanied by trusted adults) so that might’ve influenced it.

    I get why people drink, and it’s not like I’ll care about any random person downing drinks left and right. What makes me mad is the overly-romanticized way it’s depicted in media 99% of the time, and how normalized it is.

    To each their own, but fuck any depiction in media that romanticizes them.



  • Alcohol. Or drugs for that matter. But alcohol is the one that actually pisses me off when depicted in media. It’s always some character downing a glass of something and then having this super happy face and enjoying themselves. Like, fuck off? Anyone I know who drinks doesn’t even enjoy the flavor of it, and it being romanticized into this fancy, social drink is genuinely infuriating.

    As for drugs, I just don’t understand the reason why someone would want to alter their mental capabilities.
