  1. This is wonderful 🤩 I wonder if you ever spoke with us (JGC aka James/Jamie, Gavin and Cassidy.) These are tips I've been giving out almost verbatim to lots of people for a few years. You have very good intuitive taste. The goodnight/goodmorning I read somewhere. From some older guide I think.
  2. *squint* I mean... I'm guessing this is an extended metaphor, and it makes okay sense, but it has some vaguely off-key implications. Fires going wild tends to be incredibly destructive. If your campfire becomes a forest fire, that's bad, and "you are its only source of food" makes it sound like your campfire eats you lol. And even the biggest forest fire burns out within weeks. But I know what you mean. I prefer trees, you know, if you don't tend to the sapling it'll die etc. Trees also bear fruit (fruits of friendship and love ♥) compared to fire which destroys and takes in order to grow. And they grow and mature and have stages of life that last years, they put their roots into the ground and weave into the fabric of your life.
  3. Did your brother die when you slapped him when you were 8 and he was 5? Get over yourself and just apologize. If you don't want to make a tulpa anymore, just stop tulpaforcing. Negative attention is still attention, being mean won't make your tulpa "die"- not spending time with or ignoring or forgetting your tulpa makes them, well, forgotten and nonexistent. Tulpa's forms are just like a video game avatar. If you imagine yourself in your own head, having a form- a tulpa's is the exact same. They really exist just like you do: thoughts and feelings. Hurting their form can certainly hurt their feelings, but you can't kill a tulpa that way. - Gavin
  4. I will say, my school has had lockdowns due to basically protocol. When there's a runaway criminal on a highway chase and is heading to drive past the school, for example, the school has to go on lockdown even if it's an extremely small chance the criminal will choose to stop there and get out. Lockdowns are sometimes about accountability, no one in no one out, or no one being outside to potentially see something they shouldn't see.
  5. Yeah, as in, does a dog have buddha-nature? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(negative)
  6. Petition to rename "humans" "electric pudding." You know, I really like working. I have a steady, flexible job, I have a gig lined up, and in addition I'm applying for one of those online English tutor sites that are just a liiiiitle shady but apparently not that shady (especially if you're a guy... sorry ladies, Saudi Arabian men are often weird.) Now is the time. I will only get busier and have more commitments, so this is the time for all these flexible little side gigs and temp work things. If I were king of France, a lot more teens and college-age people would get work like this. It's good for the soul, the resume, and the wallet. Even if you are college-bound. I want to be earning like 500 bucks a month, put some of it into my IRA and save most the rest of it. I want to be uber duber SET financially in a few years. Also my five dollars of crypto I got for a free promo is now 10 dollars of crypto 😎 So I'm pretty much a gangster now.
  7. Oops, I posted as Cassidy. We're JGC, Jamie Gavin Cassidy ;P
  8. LeafGreen, Diamond, SoulSilver, White. I bought White 2 but didn't finish it iirc. Diamond was kinda my ultimate pokemon experience but I also played the shit out of White. I really like Servine. I can't do 3D graphics. Outside of that, Pokemon Ranger, Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon Conquest, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon... Time? Outside of that, gotta love that Pokemon Tower Defense. You know they publish pokedexes, right? I still own several. They'll tell you all the move sets and how to evolve them. I... liked to trace the pretty pictures. This one! (Not my photo) Wowie! Over 380 you say?
  9. OFC it'd be cronerice.... Have you ever played Planet Life? It was pretty fun and has a similar vibe to Cookie Clicker. Another free cookie-save-based browser game. Not checking up on it as often, it might take a week to complete, but I played it during fully virtual school and completed it in three days. It does have a post-completion currency/options kinda like how Cookie Clicker has ascensions, but I was pretty much good after my first runthrough. The best part is how the mechanics stay fresh. As you move from arc to arc, it's almost like the game morphs, just like how strategies change in Cookie Clicker. https://planetlife.space/static/game/index.html
  10. Well, you see, we don't know what era we're in yet. You'll think it's the Covidian era until the Godzilla Nuke War starts, and then in a hundred years' time they'll call this the Pre-Godzilla era. However, in defense of post-modernism, not all eras are about a deconstruction of the previous era. Post-modernism is a response to modernism and, if you ask me, a statement saying "We failed", kinda a "bad end" thing. Order lost as the world changed too quickly, chaos won, tradition is universally being questioned, major riots every summer nowadays here in the US and general widespread discontent. Pandemic definitely didn't help lol. Post-post-modernism? Nah. We aren't there yet, they're just being silly. ninja'd
  11. NGL, yeah, prepare for denial. It's completely par for the course to get denied once, twice, more, even for people who you'd think it's a very clear disability that keeps them from working. My relative with post-sepsis syndrome, recent brain damage, and a family for which he was the main breadwinner in a manual-labor-type job still hasn't been accepted iirc, been well over a year. Just prepare. Really and truly, a lot of those questions they ask so they can find fakers. Sometimes people think if they mess up questions like that, it makes good proof they're insane, but giving really wrong answers to questions like that when it doesn't make sense for any specific mental issue/illness is a major sign of malingering. Questions like "Where are we right now?", "What's your name?" and "What's the date?" If you're getting those questions wrong, something is mega-messed up- and it's statistically not going to be that you're actually too mentally ill to answer correctly. It doesn't mean they asked them because they're suspicious; they ask everyone. Same with brain injuries and concussions and stuff like amnesia. When people malinger them (often for criminal reasons/I banged my head so I don't remember why I did that crime), they often super mega fail memory tests when they shouldn't be nearly as impaired if they WERE concussed. Like, if you're guessing WORSE than random chance, that outright takes planning to select the wrong answers. .... someone has the big lonely
  12. *sorry I can't edit, but I do want to say that by "a young person" I mean they were about 26. Be a different situation if that was a 15 year old
  13. Consider this all tangential, because I'm not read up on Miri's situation, and I consider both of you more sane than pretty much all parties involved in the situation I describe. And I don't think it's what's going on here at all, but I feel the need to share my little story. I guess the moral of the story is that just like DID can be misdiagnosed as other things, other things can be misdiagnosed (and mis-self-diagnosed!) as DID. Honestly in all of these cases, I got the strong impression that no one but the person themselves and the plural online community was buying them having DID. That's where they got all their "The evil doctors refuse to treat my DID and validate my trauma, and instead think I'm psychotic! They just won't validate my five million alters who are in an ouroboros cycle of death, which was induced by my evil cult hypnosis-mastermind then-18-yo ex-boyfriend who I tried to kill myself to make guilty after he broke up with me, saying I've lost my mind! I haven't lost my mind! I have DID and need validation of my unspecified trauma and all my beliefs!" Every now and again someone straggles in here who prrrrrobably does have a mental illness, NOT an unintentionally created tulpa. If you ask me, roughly 75% of unintentional, pre-dates knowing about tulpamancy tulpas aren't legit tulpas, but most of that is because of roleplay stuff/imagination, not mental illness. Keep in mind that I'm still saying 1 in 4 are lol. Out of 100 hypothetical people coming to the tulpa community and saying, "I think I have unintentionally created tulpas", maybe 25 have unintentionally created tulpas, 60 just have something that's some form of character/fictional persona, and 15 have something else going on, whether that's DID or BPD or psychosis or whooooo knooooows what. Not to mention there can be a little bit of overlap in people with fictional characters and anxiety disorders, which is where I think you get the "malignant daydreaming" (or whatever they call it) crowd from. And, you know, no shame. I was wrong to think Gavin was a tulpa, although I wouldn't especially classify him as an alter nowadays. I'd really call him a secondary host. I didn't tulpamance him. .... Is tulpamance a word? And once again, I'll repeat that that whole bit has little to do with Miri's case. I was just reminded of it and thought I'd share.
  14. To press a button, probably. How unproductive!
