It requires a human to come up with an opinion of whether something 'sucks' or not. The universe can exist perfectly fine without you or me, but we are here, existing, without any choice in the matter. So I can choose to believe that earth is a pointless rock, or I can choose to believe it is a beautiful place full of wonders. Either way, no matter what I believe, earth will be totally fine without me. But I choose to take the option that makes me happy.
This is true. But at the same time being aware that people around you are bringing you down can be enough for you to separate yourself from them and go elsewhere. Or if you can't separate yourself from them then being aware that they are bad influences can be enough to be able to consciously block out their influence
Well, I'm definitely the most depressing and abusive person I know. And unfortunately, despite _huge_ amounts of time and effort trying, there's no escaping myself

Exciting 🤗 news for #publicHealth in US states where #populationHealth is valued, and maybe a step closer to: “What would really help public health is universal health care.” 😁🙏🏻
Just saw a video in which some dude was complaining that the archery in the scene in The Hobbit where Bard kills Smaug wasn’t realistic. In the movie about hobbits and dwarves and orcs and wizards and a dragon. The archery wasn’t realistic enough.
I'm in two minds about this. Like on the one hand yes, you do need to accept that watching fantasy require a certain suspension of disbelief. On the other hand if you have expertise in a specific area, and something happens that contradicts your understanding of reality in that area, it's as jarring as if a character just walked through a wall or something and really takes you out of the story.
Signed a botanist who made such a fuss about protea flowers being glued onto a spruce to represent a magic tree in a fantasy series that whenever flowers appear on screen my wife now says "don't mention the bloody plants" before I even have a chance to open my mouth
I was reading something online about archery accuracy.
Any film where the person commanding an archery unit orders them to draw, hold it, hold it, keep holding, not yet, not yet, I said hold, you pathetic excuses for men, keep holding...okay, now you can fire, that unit is going to have everyone off to the apothecary with severe muscle strain. Because it takes a lot of strength to draw a war bow. And more to just hold it drawn. Hell, I'm stealing that for my comic fantasy novels
@Soldusty True. I know I said fire, but that's because I was keeping another movie inaccuracy in there, and absolutely not because I hit the character limit.
Incidentally, when I type "loose an arrow" Microslop Word used to incorrect my grammar. I now use Libre Office.

Others, or the whole causality chain into the generational trauma, right?
