So does this mean the "meathead" stereotype is dead or...

High-effort shitpost (I merged panel 4's subtitles from two separate screenshots, because that somehow seemed easier than just adding the subtitles myself lol)
“We really don’t know [the impact of] having more casual conversation about suicide,” April Foreman, licensed psychologist and executive board member at the American Association of Suicidology, told me. “Stigma is lower than it’s ever been and suicide rates are as high as they were during the Great Depression. If reducing stigma alone saves lives, the suicide rates should be going down.”
This part stood out to me, because I've wondered for a while now if Internet culture and/or mental health destigmatation has increased the number of people talking about suicidal ideation, or if suicidal ideation in the general population has increased to the point that it inevitably leaks out, that we can't help but talk about it more because it's so pervasive.
On the one hand, things seem pretty bad right now in a variety of ways, but on the other hand looking at history, "bad times" are quite prevalent and often in ways "worse" than we're facing now. But there might be something unique about the bad times we're currently facing: perhaps the things that make them bad seem uniquely catastrophic or uniquely hopeless, perhaps our support systems are uniquely weak, perhaps our day-to-day lives are uniquely unfulfilling or unsuited for our monkey brains, or perhaps we got too accustomed to "uniquely good times" in the latter half of the 20th century and now things feel uniquely bad by comparison.
I don't know if there's really a way to tease out cause and effect here, especially when the vast majority of people are not comfortable being 100% honest about their suicidal ideation even in professional settings due to residual stigma and the fear that being too honest could mean trading one's freedom for grippy socks.
I recently rewatched Pacific Rim while high and had a great time. It hit all the notes that I always hope MCU movies will but never do.
After witnessing the artistic masterpiece that was Arcane, I'd watch a feature-length film of paint drying if Fortiche animated it
Wow there are a lot of typos in that relatively short article.
I was really excited when marijuana was legalized in my state because I thought it would work like a quick-acting, more-potent ibuprofen. Nope, I still have pain and now I have vertigo with the munchies. It's a miracle sleep aid at least.
Crickets are actually pretty tasty when prepared well; they make good snacks for when you want something crunchy like potato chips but with a heartier nutritional profile. I've had them in both sweet and savory flavors. Crickets are a tiny bit gritty as a protein powder, but still pretty good. I haven't tried them as flour but it's probably similar to the protein powder.
It's not on the list, but I've always wanted to try honeypot ants.
