@Madison_rogue boy, russia’s really digging for change under the sofa cushions.
oh, if you just mean “it horrified me and overwhelmed me emotionally” (vs actual clinical ptsd—i’m too literal sometimes, and i don’t know how to edit or delete on kbin yet so…) then for me, that would be a number of movies, but probably the worst would be blue velvet. dennis hopper’s portrayal of a homocidal maniac was just too, too much. i wish id never watched it.
@Merlu i can’t say, but it’s possible, id think, given that to the brain, an event, a dream, a vivid daydream, and a movie are much the same. i can’t, for example, watch horror movies. if i do, i will have terrible nightmares. and i’m choose about what i watch (and read) in general, because for me, it’s like i’m living it. there are things that still evoke feeling from me 60 years later—that didn’t actually happen to me. (oh, and a lot of things did happen too, and i have ptsd, diagnosed, but i probably didn’t have it my whole life.)
@wnose i don’t follow equadorean news, but my guess would be right wingers in charge.

wouldn’t it be cool if the took all the drive and energy they have for climbing a rock into making a world where people don’t have to hire out and risk their lives just to feed their family?
@xNIBx i think it’s more likely to be cheating and/or hidden connections + rivers of dark cash than a “stinging rebuke.” even if not, winning and losing are just how it’s done. i feel bad for the people whose lives will be harder because of this.
@D@kbin.social age isn’t a disease. it can’t be cured. i do think we can probably extend life, but personally, i think it’s cruel to do it by harming other beings, which includes most animal trials.
@readbeanicecream exploding human population a threat to all the mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, oceans, glaciers, crops, forests, and atmosphere on the planet. also to ourselves.
