I won't have kids to begin with. Can you imagine that? Me reproducing? It's bad enough I was born in the first place.

>>1656680
I wont be able to for a while though. By the time it gets installed I'll have to go to bed, then I got work all weekend. One day...

>>1656684
I know how that goes... every major game release I've been excited enough to play on day 1 has had that day involve school or work in such a fashion that I couldn't justify staying up all night to play it.

>>1656678
Should be able to get some sleep tonight at least. Early weekends are nice

>>1656679
What even is sleep?

>>1656680
It can be nice at times

>>1656683

>>1656686
All the time. Those pesky responsibilities I've taken on are keeping me from it though. I need to rethink my life.

>>1656687

>>1656688

>>1656685
Pretty much. I wont even get to play it during fall break because I have to work the Disney on Ice showings which are all day with multiple showings. Pain in the ass...so happy this is their last year here.

>>1656680
That's a sentiment I can understand. I've got some messed up genes I don't want to bring upon some poor kid, myself.

>>1656689

>>1656690
And I'm now glad my arenas focuses solely hockey for the most part.

>>1656691

>>1656692
What kind of facility is it? Mine is technically an event center so we got multiple things going on all the time.

And there is a rumor going around that we might be losing our hockey team due to the new owners. That takes a lot of work away from us.

>>1656697
Well, the hockey arenas are just hockey. There's a second facility that I work at which is an event center, but it is mostly just sports in general.

Considering I work for a university, unless the place goes under I doubt we'll be losing any of the teams, especially hockey. We've had some downsizing though... and it shows.

>>1656699
I prefer straight hair by a wide margin.

I hope you'll get some breaks from those responsibilities then

So pretty much how mine works too.

In what way? We've been losing a lot of workers and cant seem to get more. There used to be 6 of us, now there are 2, sometimes 4.

Can't get repairs in, can't finish the development on one of the floors, etc. There are plenty of other student workers, don't get me wrong. But repairs are needed and not getting done. It's still a very big operation though.

>>1656750
Gifs are images with some depth added, so expecting some depth and not getting any is uncomfortable. Like if you were about to descend some stairs but the first step suddenly was raised up before you took your first step so you invested too much force into your step and you wobble a bit afterwards.
It just ain't right!

Hey, there!

>>1656796

Nah. Then what'll you do when you mess up the rest of your body? Gauze is the best.

>>1656796
only small doses, but still annoys me.
and of course does not much for self esteem. eh, who am i kidding never had any from start

>>1656798
sup+?

>>1656801

Not much. New Grepolis world popped up, though. Anyone want to join me for a fun browser game?

>>1656796
eh..

>>1656804
just chilling then?
new grep police what?

>>1656807

Grepolis! A browser game where you build up a city and try to complete the wonders of the world while fending off attacks from other players. It's fun, but I really need more people with me in order to play properly.

>>1656810
hmm... interesting. if i knew i had the game hours over i would join in a heartbeat!

>>1656798
Gauze can't effectively help bone breaks or anything other than dermal tearing/external bleeding, unfortunately. That's where duct tape and cardboard come into play!

I'm doing okay, registering for classes is a pain

My brother friend told me to take comp sci, chem and calc 2 at the same time but I don't know....

>>1656828
Oh, good.

>>1656828
>new jungle un league makes it so only like 5 jungles can clear without having to go back after wolves
This is kind of true but at the same time it turns jungling into more of a team role than Team Mom.

>>1656828
Ouch, sorry to hear.
classes is an pain ;_;

>>1656831

Warwick is a god in the new jungle. Besides him, only like fiddles and Nunu can start with buffs. The rest have to start toad.

How confident are you in chem?

>>1656839

I don't know. Taking 3 seems like too much....

>>1656838
can you manage with such classes at the same time.

>>1656839
hmm... i don´t have such thing. but shall crate pone picture i guess.
===
and im sorry everynone, but i shall slip into lukring before bed.
just not in the mood for hay tonight
nights

>>1656838
Like I said, a lot of things.

>>1656838
Depends on the ganks. I won't say new jungle is dependent on early leashes and champ selection, but it's not something that you can take on alone anymore and just roll around the jungle smashing monster face. Your team has to help you every now and then, which I think is a good price to pay for ganks and the like. For too long jungling has been an "elite" role that, while commonly the best player on the team, got the most abuse because they weren't doing everything the rest of the team wanted them to. Now, the team actually has to take part, which I think will cut down a little on both jungle elitism and people whining about "BUT M-MUH LAEN" as much.

>>1656841
How many did you just take? I think you're considered a full-time student at 12 credit-hours for most schools.

>>1656842
Night Ponns!

>>1656838
>>1656847

Makes me miss playing League a little.

>>1656847

As a jungle main. I get bitched at constantly. Also, it makes it harder to play without my friends because douchebag ezreals are too good to leash.

This is probably why they nerf WWs ult, because they knew he'd be the OU jungler in the new jungler because you can do it all yourself.

>>1656843

Wanna tell me about it?


>>1656842

Night.

There was some text that went with your picture if I remember.

>>1656858
It's all a trap anyway.

>>1656860
From what I learned from the preseason spotlights, they're trying to work towards more innovative jungle play; they want to see more diverse champ picks to roam the forests. This won't happen until next season because people are too set in their roles right now, but it's a start.

>>1656858

>>1656865

I think a tougher jungle will have the reverse effect. Considering even champs that are suppose to jungle are getting rekt. but I guess if you just start toad you can get a lot more.

Who else has the sustain to survive the jungle? Cho'gath?

>>1656858

It's fun!

>>1656852

I can take 12 credits without talking all 3 of those classes.

>>165686
I can, but I have to leave.
Later then.

>>1656871
Ah. Maybe it's best to take calc when you have a less demanding/ominous workload.

>>1656871
Lee Sin and Fuzzy Wuzzy have always been favorites of mine. Amumu and Rammus will probably make a comeback just out of sheer tank. Smite is a much bigger deal all game long now. I don't think it's about sustain so much anymore, that was the biggest problem. I think the whole point is that you can't just faceroll jungle and do well.

>>1656875

calc is basically tied to my major. So is compsci but I don't have to take it. If I don't take calc most of my classes are locked out.

>>1656873

later


>>1656876

But you can. Certain champs can still faceroll the jungle because they have the right kits. So more people will play those champs.

>>1656881
And they are the likeliest to get nerfs. Maybe not, but most likely. Wubwubs also has subpar ganks when compared to, say, Hecarim. His ult used as a gank can be good, but if you have a warwick on the opposing team you're going to expect that and plan for it. His clear and even his counterclear may be phenomenal, but stick him up against a half decent Amumu jungler and you're wolf meat.

>>1656881
Do you have a reference flow chart of what you have to take? That can be great for figuring out your schedules ahead of time, even more so if they tell you which ones have an attached lab.

>>1656888

Nope, just what my counselor recommended

>>1656886

>hecarim
>his early game as poppy levels of garbage
>his clear was a joke before the new jungle

He won't survive. Amumu has a similar case of "shit early game syndrome" and despite Amumus "press R and win teamfight" play style there is a reason not a lot of people play him.

>>1656902
I was very, very concerned until I read "dream"

>>1656902

>>1656902

I thought this actually happened until I got to the end

what's up?

>>1656899

Riot sucks at balancing. Where my urgot buffs at? They actually nerfed tear too. Being an urgot fan is suffering.

>>1656901

Thanks

>>1656902
Seems like someone slipped some acid into your drink, yo!

>>1656904
>>1656906
That's pretty much what I was going for.
It was so strange though, I mean I don't think I've ever had a dream like that - it was as if it's oddest quality was being so out of place. It's like.. the dream you'd expect a depressed housewife harboring hostile impulses to have, not some random loser like me.

The part where the woman was shot in the head is particularly strange, since the bullet didn't act at all like one and it had the same effect as if she were tied to a train or something instead.

>>1656905
Dude I don't even know.

>>1656907
It's the first time in a long time I both vividly remember every detail of a dream, yet can't place at all where it came from. I think the whole classism thing was a result of reading a chapter of my book before getting some sleep but the rest is an utter mystery to me. As I said above, it's as if I had someone else's dream - not my own.

>>1656908
This is the kind of shit I was talking about in my dreams. How do you apply symbology to shit like this? How could your mind possibly show you any of this as a reorganization of real-life events? It makes no goddamn sense, and yet you remember it clearly.

Welcome to the rabbit hole.

>>1656908
Do you believe that dreams mean anything? That's very strange though, I will admit. Perhaps you accidentally stumbled into a loophole to other people's dreams! That'd make an interesting premise, heh. Well, assuming there was a modifier that made it important to the real (physical) world somehow, like..."if you die in the dream, you die for real" or something like that.

>>1656908

I'm pretty sure dreams don't have any actual correlation to what's going on in your subconscious. Well sometimes they do, but it's mostly your imagination running wild. What do you think?

>>1656908

You obviously have very good drugs..

>>1656917
Afternoon! What's the haps?

>>1656917

hello!

>>1656910
If this is what you were referring to, then I apologize for misunderstanding. I don't even know how to address what genuinely feels like a strangers dreams. I have a few threads that I can follow and understand, like maybe the cocktail party was some representation of my desire to connect and create a new social circle - and the individuals being women some reflection of loneliness, but the setting as a whole and how violent it got with me being nothing more than a casual observer.. I don't even know.

It did not feel like my own dream. I was purely an observer through it all. I recall some of my own thoughts during it but that was it.

I feel like any attempt at dream analysis on my part would just be pretentious, contrived, and miss some general point 'cause I don't actually have the context of the individual it was truly meant for.

>>1656913
I used to, but to be honest my stance on the meaning of dreams has shifted quite a bit and I'm not 100% sure what I believe anymore. I've been getting more and more into learning why and how we dream, and in the answers I've uncovered they've started to contradict the notion of dreams being symbolic. I think that, being the way we are, our subconscious is bound to slip occasional messages or symbols to us when we need to be alerted of something we're consciously avoiding but I don't adhere anymore to the belief that dreams always mean something. More that repetitive situations do, or those situations where it's clear as day what they're trying to stand for.

>>1656919
>>1656920

Heyyy.

I'm up relativly early for once.

>>1656922
Exactly. This is what pretty much all of my dreams are like. Wild, unexpected, disconnected, and just strange. Sometimes I'm not even myself in my dreams. I'm someone else entirely, like I really am having someone else's dream. Still, it's my head that came up with it, so it has to be my dream. I just chalk it up to an overactive imagination during REM sleep and take what little semblance of sense I can get.

>>1656929

what's up?

>>1656930

I was playing DA:I

While strolling through some camp I found a letter which I think was written by Morgoth himself...

>>1656922
That's totally fair! Being the way we are? What do you mean by that? And what sort of alerts do you think dreams could tell us that our subconscious could not adequately convey to our conscious while awake?

>>1656923
Yaaaaay! Any particular reason for that?

>>1656929
Hey Magsan. How's it going?

>>1656931

As in like, from lord of the rings?

I'mma take a shower

>>1656949

It's a passive chore, but I enjoy the rewards it yields.

>>1656933
>>1656914
It's too early for you guys to be asking me about this, I just woke up and can't seem to explain properly. I've tried retyping my explanation five times already.. heh.

>>1656926
Probably all you can do, half the time we're just looking for meaning that isn't really there anyway.

>>1656944

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYweg6GbNGs

Also why the fuck is this so catchy?

I guess if I were to summarize it best, I don't believe in purposeful symbolism behind dreams because looking at how our brains behave during and after dreaming, it becomes painfully obvious that we're not actually supposed to remember our dreams. So the notion that they are some subconscious plea for understanding is a bit silly from that perspective, but I believe dreaming is used as a kind of simulation for survival and while we've grown past the need to survive being chased by wild animals or hunting we've developed social situations that we now mentally prepare ourselves for in dreaming and I think sometimes our subconscious fears can manifest themselves in those situations. So it's more like a stance of 'dreams aren't supposed to be symbolic, but occasionally you can get some unique insight from them due to their initial purpose'. If that makes any sense.

Hey guys... How's it going?

>>1656951
That's a fair trade-off methinks ^^
Hopefully things aren't messy enough to require massive cleaning!

>>1656952
That's alright! Mornings aren't good for anything but going back to sleep :P

>>1656954
>foooouuuund iiiit~
I knew it the whole time, but I had to...feed my...bear. Yeah, that.

>>1656955
I guess it just goes to show
You like your beats fast
And your bass down low
Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low
Bass, bass, bass down low

>>1656958

>>1656959

Nah, it's nothing to bad; just some dishes really.

>>1656960

Good evening, Thela. Long time no see.

How are you?

>>1656959
DO YOUR CHAIN HANG LOW
DO IT WOBBLE TO THE FLO'
DO IT SHINE IN THE LIGHT
IS IT PLATINUM, IS IT GOLD
COULD YOU THROW IT OVER YA SHOULDA
IF YA HOT YA MAKE IT COLD
DO YOUR CHAIN
HANG
LOW

>>1656961

Indeed. :3

I'm good. I actually woke up before 4pm for once.

>>1656961

>>1656957
So it's more about mental preparedness if it were indeed important at all? I can dig it! I was taught that it was just static from daily memories being transferred from short term memory to long term memory, but the...conscious part of the brain tries to extrapolate logic from it, thus giving rise to very odd dreams at times, especially if you managed to break daily monotony, because that's a different experience and would be treated differently as it's new and doesn't already have a neuron cluster attributed to it.

>>1656958
Howdy Ebon! What's uppp?

>>1656960
Oh. Psssssh, I don't really consider that cleaning. It's more of general cleanliness to me.

>>1656962

*dubstep lightning while raining xylophones*

>>1656963

Hehe, well, it sounds like an improvement! Maybe you could try using it as a first step towards reverting to a normal sleep schedule?

>>1656965

Hey Noni. How are you?

>>1656970
It's basically a combination of the two, dreaming is 100% our means of encoding information but it seems to have a secondary function as well. I think the random elements are less us trying to 'make sense of it' and more just the things we're sorting through spilling over a bit as we dream. Purely accidental.

If you're actually interested in reading up on this, I'd suggest The Mind At Night. It's very informative on the subject.

>>1656970

Yeahhhhh, but still. :P

>>1656972

Hopefully. Though I really need is a reason to get up at a reasonable hour...

>>1656970

Muffin?

>>1656972

Ebon! Cute pone!

IT's math time for me! Hope your'e doing okay!

>>1656970

Hi Anon.

Well... Could be better, to be honest. I haven't been feeling very well for the past couple of days. I worry that I might be getting sick.

>>1656977

Maybe you could try to find a hobby that you could work on during the morning or early afternoon? Like jogging?

>>1656978

Hehe.

Ooh, good luck with Math! I hope it'll go well.

As for me... I could be doing better, sadly.

>>1656976
That makes some sense ^^
Gosh, I hope they figure this stuff out eventually. It's truly fascinating... Hm...Perhaps this would be a good area of study, considering it's a frontier not explored much yet...

The Mind At Night? I can add that to the list!

>>1656977
Yeah, yeah, I gotcha :P

>>1656978

>>1656984
Oh dear... Like, with a cold or something?

>>1656986
You'd be surprised how much we've actually studied it and already know, actually - but there are definitely a lot of mysteries behind it. The study of sleep is definitely a quarry worth mining.

The Mind at Night is great, I haven't finished it yet because I only just managed to get my hands on a physical copy (had an eBook for over a year but I can't stand reading them) but it's a very informative exploration of how and why we sleep.

>>1656986

A cold or a flu, probably. My dad was sick for a couple of days before he came over to visit, and my brother has been sick for a few days after that. So I think that I might have caught something from my brother.

>>1656984

Eugh, not jogging. As much as I need to lose weight, I don't want to do it where people can see me.

>>1656986

:3

>>1656995
>As much as I need to lose weight, I don't want to do it where people can see me.
You too?
I always thought I was like, the only one who held himself back because of this.

Awwww yisssss

>>1656986

I don't speak anime gif.

>>1656997

Yerp. :I

I already have self-confidence issues; I don't need anyone looking at me when I'm working out and going "Hahahaha! Fatty's trying to lose weight!"

Oh, right, I just have an all-or-nothing approach to knowledge. I don't even want to start hardcore learning something that's just going to need to be rewritten some time after *cough* quantum mechanics* coughcough*
I do enjoy learning about the mysteries of the mind though. Cool stuff can be uncovered and utilized ^^

Not a fan of ebooks either? I'm with ya there. Do you happen to know when/where it was written? Just curious.

>>1656990
Ah. Flus are never a fun thing to have >.>
Let's hope it passes before it can get a good footing in! Lots of fluids if you can!

>>1656995
That's a lot of EEEing... Now, if you put a 'P' in front of that, you'd flood the entire universe with...liquid, rather than sound! It's a wonder to see how much difference one letter can make :P

>>1657000
It's food! :D

>>1657003
How about pone gif?

>>1657006
'You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.'

That's not to say I can put it in practice though, so I definitely understand where you're coming from...

>>1657006
Yeah but you know what? Fuck them. You're working to improve yourself. You're doing more than they are. They're petty and just want to feel better about themselves by wrecking someone else. That's when you work harder and get swole so they have nothing to bash anymore.

>>1657009
Black bean salsa. :3

>>1657009

Haha, gross.

>>1657010

Public gyms are made for fit people to go show off. I'd rather buy a home gym setup and work out in private.

>>1657012

I'd still rather work out at home.

>>1657009

Yup. Sorry then..

>>1657013
You could just do what I do and go work out at like 2 am when no one's awake. That helped me out a lot.

>>1656995
>>1656997

Then instead of jogging, how about just taking a stroll? Is there some kind of park nearby, maybe? It doesn't help as much as jogging, but at least it does more than nothing.

Sadly, I can't think of a lot of exercises that you can do indoors or in private to lose weight... Don't just try dieting, though. That never works.

>>1657000

Hey Jesus. What's that?

>>1657012
Sounds delicious c:

>>1657013
Just an observation, is all~

>>1657015
For what?

>>1657020
Black bean salsa, with all kinds of yummy herbs and spices. I made like a quart so it'd last a while~

>>1657021
It's sogood. And it goes with like, everything. Except sweet things.

>>1657009
I'm definitely more in the 'analog' field when it comes to books. According to Goodreads, it was published in 2004. Why do you ask?

Now I'm starting to wonder how much information has surfaced since then. Though in my experience it's very hard to find reliable information about this kind of thing, so.. that's not an endeavor I'm looking forward to taking on at the end.

>>1657013
Oh, we're talking about gyms - my mistake. Yeah, I'd never set foot in a gym for that reason, the atmosphere is completely different. How about going outside, though? I find even that's too much for me, which is why I felt the quote was relevant because you're so often going to be on anyone's mind or having them think 'oh look at him trying to lose weight lol how pathetic' but yet it's hard to put yourself out that door.

>>1657016

That would still require me buying a membership.

>>1657020

I did map out a route I could walk in my new neighborhood.

Really? I thought home exercise machines were made for that purpose.

Yeah, I tried the diet route years ago. It just made me malnourished and miserable. I DO need to cut back on my portions, though.

>>1657021

:P

>>1657024

I can go outside no problem, I just don't want to jog. Walking is fine, because then it doesn't look like I'm exercising.

>>1657030
True. Screw that noise.

>>1657020
I used to bike because it was easy to push yourself a bit while creating the illusion that you're going somewhere, but I don't have a bike anymore and now that it's winter you're going to have a hard time getting me out of the house.

>>1657030
I see. Fair enough.

>>1657009

Hehe, don't worry, I'm making sure to stay well hydrated.

>>1657013

I've only been to public gyms a few times, so I can't say that I know everything about them... But as far as I could tell, most people there just seemed to be average joes who wanted some exercise.

I understand that being scared of how people will judge you makes it hard for you to exercise in public. But there's very few ways to do so at home, unless you're willing to spend a fortune. Just regular manual treadmills can cost up to hundreds of dollars!

I'm back

>>1657023
>implying i wouldn't still try to smear it on chocolate
Chocolate makes everything better! :D

>>1657024
Oh? Hmm... Good to know! Well, I'm just wondering how up-to-date it is. Nowadays things change so fast that yesterday's information in today's misinformation. That's probably just my viewpoint on things though. Don't pay it much mind.

Yes, exactly. Oh informational paranoia, my old friend.

>>1657035
Wonderful! c:

>>1657040
I mean, chili chocolate is fuckin' delicious, so I couldn't blame you. Still, I don't think I'd stir chocolate syrup into this stuff.

>>1657031

I figure investing in home exercise equipment is a better deal in the long run.

>>1657034

And then if I wear my hoodie, no one even glances in my direction. It's great.

>>1657035

Possibly.

It would be worth it, IMO.

>>1657046
That depends on the equipment. What kind of exercises are we talking about here?

>>1657044
Yeah, it probably would only detract from the delicious salsa flavor!

>>1657047

Cardio, mostly.

>>1657040
I don't think that'll be a concern, it covers the progression of sleep study since it's conception basically and those discoveries have held up to the test of time. The only thing that's become redundant or out-of-date since then would be the concept of dream interpretation.

>>1657023

Hehe, I see! I hope you'll enjoy it.

I kinda thought it looked like a cup of mud...

>>1657030

Home exercise machines are incredibly expensive, though. >>1657035

>>1657034

True, it's not exactly fun to go out on your bike during winter, especially considering how slippy the roads can be... But a stroll shouldn't be so bad if you dress warmly, right?

As long as it's not snowing or raining, at least.

>>1657051
You mean our interpretation of dream interpretation, or the brain's interpretation of dream interpretation?

>>1657053
You underestimate how adamantly against the cold I am.

>>1657050
Could try P90X?
My room mate did that with only a few dumb bells and resistance cords?
Granted it's FUCKING intense.

>>1657055
The symbolic interpretation. The Freudian approach and the improvements upon his concept over the years.

>>1657053
And exactly what ebon says here. I go to the gym regularly and everyone there is only concerned with their own shit.
Plus if you're looking at strength training, the machines there make it so you almost always have the correct form, as opposed to dumb bells and free weights where you have to concentrate on technique and form.

>Just remembered he has drums

Well fuck, I've already got a home gym right there.

>>1657062
Oh, speaking of! What's are your opinions on Freud? The person, the ideas, etc..

>>1657070
I was thinking about that this whole time too, but didn't say anything 'cause it's not really what most would consider a 'workout' and I was under the impression you wanted something more thorough. But if you want something you can break through the lack of motivation by enjoying what you're doing, that'll definitely do the trick - just don't get complacent.

Sorry guys, but I think that I'm dropping out... I'm starting to not feel so well again.

Take care, and see you later.

>>1657072

What if he was just a sexual deviant? ID this and superego that. hearing about anal and oral personalities freaked me out a bit. But I guess pleasure is pleasure.

>>1657075
Take care buddy

>>1657073

It completely slipped my mind. >_<

I know playing drums isn't gonna replace an actual gym, but it's still a good way to burn carlories.

>>1657075

Take care.

>>1657072
Freud was a narrow-minded trailblazer.
Maybe narrow-minded isn't the right term, I'd say.. tunnel-visioned? His concepts set a strong foundation for psychoanalysis as a whole, but his obsession with sexuality was a major drawback and invalidated a lot of his ideas. It's funny how he's become a bit of a laughing stock because of it, even though a lot of his theories are sound (if not primitive) and have proved to be quite significant after being expanded on by, blasphemous as it may be to say, better minds.

I've also always had a fondness for his notion of the Id, ego, and superego - even if it's basically the least supported of his theories.

Then again, one could say much of the same for Jung and I'm quite a supporter of his work.

>>1657080
Sometimes even an inefficient workout proves to be the most efficient simply due to one's ability to stick to it on the long term.

That's true. Drums are fucking fun, while a planned-out workout probably wouldn't be for me.

>>1657090
So long as you don't fall into the traps of a 'fun' workout, such as the aforementioned complacency thus falling into habits of comfort and not actually pushing yourself, it should prove pretty effective.

>>1657095

Exactly.

>>1657070
And you can share your workout with others through the power of music! :D

>>1657075
Oh, um...Do take care now! See you another time.

>>1657076
A lot of people think that, unfortunately. He is/was pretty heavily slandered on many different fronts, but the truth is that his findings weren't all bad. Hm...I can't seem to word it properly, but I do feel empathy for him on many different levels.

>>1657085
Ooooh yeah. Also also, do you change your filenames often? I've been noticing that some of them are...different.

Doesn't mean you can't still like them as concepts/notions :P
Heck, I still like to think of Pluto as a planet, even if it doesn't quite fill the proper criteria of a planet.

>>1657099

Ye.

>>1657099
>A lot of people think that, unfortunately. He is/was pretty heavily slandered on many different fronts, but the truth is that his findings weren't all bad. Hm...I can't seem to word it properly, but I do feel empathy for him on many different levels.
I share this outlook. Freud simply made himself an easy target with his emphasis on sexuality, and people felt the need to ridicule that partially because.. well, some of his notions were downright silly, and because they feared the possibility it was true. It's Darwin's evolutionary endeavors all over again. Freud wasn't really the failure people make him out to be, I mean Freudian psychology does seem to have some kinks due to a little too much loyalty to his views, the foundation he set out for others to expand upon isn't much less significant what the others were doing at the time. Most of Jung's theories weren't fully realized until expanded upon by other researchers either, it's nobody's fault that their ideas can sometimes outlive themselves.

Still, it is funny looking back at how many times the answers have been staring Freud in the face and he couldn't acknowledge them because he was purposely looking for that sexual influence that drives his research.

When I had to reformat my computer, I lost all my files and so I transferred over a smaller collection I had on my laptop with older, outdated filenames. That's why they're different.

>>1657106

I know right? Nigaa musta been a freak. But at the same time it seems like most people identify with his views the most. Most people who believe in his ideas often don't know all that much about psychology. I guess you could call them casuals. Freud was only really a joke amongst people of expertise. I also always found things like castration anxiety and Oedipus complex to be a little farfetched.

>>1657103
*pat pat*

>>1657106
Especially sexuality in children. That gave him some unneeded extra flak from basically everyone. I do agree here, definitely so.

Perhaps that's where he had the bridge the gap with bizarre ideas, heh. Seems wholly unscientific to do so, but this isn't the first, and most certainly won't be the last, of such conduct.

Oooooh...I should have remembered that, my bad.

>>1657123
Well, we can chalk that one up to public ignorance. He wasn't suggesting children explore sexuality but rather that they go through stages that if handled poorly can lead to sexual kinks later on. I never put much thought into it either, though - I prefer Erikson's take on child development personally.

>>1657114
I don't think he had to be a deviant to believe this, people are very sexual by nature and it's not that hard to understand how someone could latch on to the perspective that we are purely driven by our sexual desires in some way.

>mia faccia quando this dip

>>1657130

I don't think we are purely driven by sex as children. But I think that most of what we do has to do with social status. Peoples opinions shape us rather we like it too or not.

what do you think?

>>1657133

this one?>>1657000

>>1657130
Erikson was on a pretty good track, yeah! I wasn't too convinced on the theory behind what happens when somebody doesn't pass a milestone, but that's just me. Gosh, it's been so long since I've thought about child psychology... I believe I strongly attached to Piaget's theories. I was really into cognition and mental processes and such ^^
In search of that perfect system and all.

>>1657133
What are you dipping in it? :o

>>1657137
Yeeeeeeeessssssss

>>1657138
Just chips right now.
Sweet God it's so good though. I will never look at salsa the same way again. I know the secrets.

>>1657140
The secrets, you say? I would like to know these secretly secrets!

>>1657142
Pff. You'd probably think they were gross, knowing your diet.

>>1657137
Correct me if I'm being ignorant because I'm a bit cloudy on the psych staples lately (since shifting my attention to the MBTI I've kind of put everything else on the backburner and need to revisit) but I think Freud's theory regarding children was in how these stages can manifest into sexual drives, but not that they are fueled by them in the beginning. I could be wrong, however.

>>1657138
See above, I'm a bit too rusty to pretend I know what I'm talking about as well as I used to, but Erikson's take on how those milestones effect behavior seemed pretty sound to me. Mostly due to how I've observed these taking place in others and even myself though, from an abstract perspective they come across as a bit of a stretch.

That's something I've always wanted to get into more, but could never quite.. retain what I'm reading. Though I've always been more interested in behavioral concepts and personality theory as a whole.

Piaget rings a bell, but I can't seem to think of what he's done - care to refresh my memory?

>>1657146

So our pleasures as infants and toddlers manifest into our sexual desires? But is this manifestation exclusively subconscious? Could we rationalize our personalities based on our current sexual preferences? Would someone that prefers oral sex in fact be a oral personality?

>>1657140

I hope you enjoy

>>1657150

hey esh

>>1657151
As I understood it, the idea was that during our stages of development we'd go through stages of fixation - so a child putting everything in it's mouth is in it's oral stage, and that if the stage were not to go appropriately (I think there were other aspects to his theory that involved elements reminiscent of Erikson's take, but I'm going purely off memory here and could be wrong) then that individual would be more likely to develop an oral fixation as an adult.

That's.. about all I know on it, I never put much thought into his take on that. Always thought it a bit silly.
