It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

It's not even really falling for it, like I know it's not a video but I still want to press the button, I'm pretty sure you could make a sort of inverse skinner box that electrocuted me every time I pressed the button and I would still want to press it.

I just wanna watch a video of what appears to be a very large Vegeta, no matter how stupid it makes me look. Can you honestly blame me?

Not at all. The very large vegeta is a pretty funny character too. He does exactly two things:

When he's introduced, he does a reaaaally slooooow leap into the air, then kicks with both feet as he descends slooowly. The protagonist catches his feet and spreads them apart and large vegeta (still midair) crosses his arms to launch his attack as the other characters gasp in awe at how this is the most perfect attack with the most perfect blend of defense and offense. It's unbeatable!

The second thing he does is do the extremely slow leap kick cross-arm attack on the main antagonist, who instantly gibs him.

e: Been a while since I've seen part 1 so I might be getting some details wrong but that's the gist

Hey sorry to not post any content but I’m looking for a tweet someone made a year or so ago that was a template for how to tell an emotional friend you were “at capacity” of fucks to give like some kind of robot

Anyone able to find that or have an idea what to search for?

What? How often does this actually happen that all of your friends run to you, specifically, for help at the same time? I've had a lot of mentally ill and depressed friends go through poo poo but the theoretical idea that several of them could want to talk to me at once has never been so remotely a concern that I've had to develop an email reply template as a contingency. Patently absurd.

i get that you can't do two things at once, but would you say "i don't think i can hold appropriate space for you" like you're replying to an email from someone who isn't your boss but you don't want to offend? or would you be normal and say something like "hey, [so-and-so] is also going through some poo poo right now and i've been helping them out. we all suffer so remember you're not alone. let me get back to you when i'm free"

i understand where you're coming from -- friendship means being there when things are rough. and thats valid.

but being a good friend also means knowing when you arent able to provide good support because you yourself are in a bad spot. theres a big difference between "yeah that sucks bro, let me call you after im done playing COD" and "my mom is in the hospital right now and i'm feeling very anxious and fragile" -- this is why therapists get masters degrees to do the work they do: you need to have a lot of training to be emotionally present with people all day and not carry that poo poo home with you, or accidentally counter-transfer.

Most of the time if someone is reaching out to you it's because they want someone to listen to them. The magic of the internet allows you to be like "Go ahead and let it out in the chat here" and you can give them room to go off while you're attending to your business while they stay occupied venting. There's something so revolting about the phrase "I'm at capacity" in particular that I haven't been able to fully articulate but if someone said that to me I'd be loving furious. It's so self-important.

Further proof that anybody who spends time online talking about fake friends and real friends isn't a person anyone should want to be friends with regardless.

Ninety percent of the time if someone really genuinely needs to talk they prefer to do so via skype/discord/whatever voice chat because hearing a friendly voice is important, especially in this day and age. You can't just tell them to let it out and then go off to do something else. (Which is also a super lovely thing to do in general, what the gently caress. If someone needs your help then be there to talk to them, don't let them rant to thin air until you feel like taking care of it. If you literally can't then you need to figure something else out because if they figure out what you're doing they're probably going to feel even shittier.)

Once is enough

And it doesn't have to be all of them

Just talking one person that you love off a ledge is destructive enough. Having the two people you love most in the world both have different issues at the same time when you're the primary support system for both... It's harrowing. It ages you. I can't imagine dealing with even one if I was having any of my own major poo poo going on.

Having an idea about what to say that won't be further damaging can be helpful to some people. Be glad you don't need it yourself and kindly gently caress the gently caress off

This is my issue with it, not the idea that a person can have limits on how much of other peoples problems they can handle at once, but that sending anyone you actually care about a preformatted form letter that sounds like it came from a loving corporate helpdesk comes off gross and alien.

Might as well play them some muzak and text them every two minutes "your personal crisis is very important to us, but all of our agents are currently busy dealing with other crises, please hold, someone will be with you shortly".
