"“Lack of motivation” is a generally
May. 23rd, 2014 01:18 am““Lack of motivation” is a generally misunderstood symptom of depression. It does not mean that I sit around thinking, “Oh, I’m so depressed; why bother to do shit I don’t want to do anyway.” It means not that I lack discipline, but that there is a mental disconnect between my conscious mind, which says I want or need to do X, and the part of my brain which actually initiates activity. It prevents me from doing things I would very much like to do, as well as things I need to do, rather than indicating simply a lack of interest in doing things which are not immediately rewarding.
If you want or need to go somewhere, whether somewhere you’re eagerly looking forward to going, or somewhere routine, or to the dentist for a root canal which you may be much averse to but have nevertheless decided will leave you better off in the long run, and you get in your car, turn the key in the ignition repeatedly, yet the engine sputters but does not engage, this is not an indication that you don’t really want to go anywhere. It’s an indication that something is wrong with the equipment you need to transport you there.
I am fully capable of sitting for hours, thinking periodically, “I need to pee,” then, “I really need to pee,” and eventually, “Damn, I need to pee,” before being able to jump start the part of my brain which engages with the task of getting up and walking the ten feet to the bathroom, and initiates the movement which allows me to do that.
The more complex the task, the harder it can be, because a more complex sequence of actions must be, in some sense, imagined and targeted before the actions necessary to bring them about can be initiated. Most people are unaware that this process even takes place, because in a healthy brain, it occurs swiftly and automatically. In my brain, it does not.”

Master was out. Alpha pup decided to tie up Beta pup. Things turned for the worst when Alpha pup got the magic wand out and started teasing Beta pup. After Beta pup’s clear lack of self control, Alpha pup decided to leave him tied up, for Master to see. He even greeted Master at the door with the usual “I didn’t do anything look”.

wow, this test was terrible. “true now and when i was younger, true only
now, only true when i was younger, never true” what the fuck you do realize
there’s no such thing as absolutes, right? that there are contexts to
consider? that a gradated approach like “me all of the time, me a lot of
the time, me some of the time, me very rarely or not at all” (and
corresponding ones for past-me, if different) would be way more accurate
and a whole fucking lot easier to answer???
as it is, i had to choose whether to skew my results toward autism or
allism. so stupid. like those quizzes that tell you what character you are
based on your answers to questions about how you would react to situations
LITERALLY from the book itself. argh.
personality tests frustrate me so much. you can’t answer the questions
accurately. HOW ARE THE RESULTS SUPPOSED TO BE ACCURATE IF THERE ARE NO
ACCURATE ANSWERS IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE

Video Transcriptions and Translations
May. 23rd, 2014 12:22 pmeffyeahnerdfighters:
Hey all.
As you may know, YouTube gives channels the capability of uploading caption tracks to their videos, and these tracks are invaluable to all kinds of people. Captions allow deaf and hard of hearing YouTube users the ability to enjoy videos to the fullest extent; captions clarify words or phrases that might be difficult to understand when spoken aloud; captions enable users to find phrases or quotes via searches, and so on.
An impressive amount of vlogbrothers-related videos have already been transcribed, and I’m in the process of uploading those transcriptions as captions to the videos themselves. But there is a lot of work yet to be done.
If you’d like to help transcribe videos, go to the Nerdfighteria Wiki, find videos that have not yet been transcribed, pick one, and transcribe it! Instructions and formatting tips are available on the wiki, so poke around a bit!
If you’re feeling particularly awesome, you can focus on one of the following channels/categories, all of which need special help since they do not have scripts:
Sexplanations
The Art Assignment
SciShow Talk Show
SciShow Quiz Show
Any other non-standard SciShow/Crash Course videos (like bloopers, teasers, surveys, and so on)
Similarly, if you are multilingual, we could use your talents in helping to translate videos for our educational channels.
See below for a full list of courses and channels that are available for translation:
Crash Course
biology.subtitl.us
chemistry.subtitl.us
ecology.subtitl.us
literature.subtitl.us
literature2.subtitl.us
psychology.subtitl.us
ushistory.subtitl.us
worldhistory.subtitl.us
SciShow
scishow.subtitl.us
scishowspace.subtitl.us
Sexplanations
sexplanations.subtitl.us
Instructions regarding the translation process are available on each individual site.
Thanks in advance for all the work, time, and effort that you all put into these captions & translations! It’s greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions (that can’t be answered by a perusal of the wiki/subtitl.us), feel free to email me.

not going to camp and just curling up in a ball and never coming back out is not the proper response to panicking about packing, self.
you WILL forget things! it is okay! the world will not end!
and you WILL finish packing in time! it just seems like an unending amount of stuff and things to remember!
and, yes, you WILL probably not finish getting your house as clean as you would like, but your downstairs bathroom is now clean (except for the shower), your fridge is cleaned out of yucky stuff, your bedroom is organized (except for the two big boxes of things needing places but at least they’re contained) and your bed is made (altho since you’re basically taking that with you to camp that probably doesn’t actually matter) and your floor is vacuumed!
forget about the upstairs bathroom! it does need cleaning, but it’s barely ever used; it can wait.
forget about dusting and vacuuming! it’ll just get dusty again anyways! (do sweep the kitchen tho)
most especially, forget about freaking out and all of the things and how there isn’t enough time! your brain is lying to you! it is a jerk like that!
(if i tell myself these things enthusiastically enough eventually they’ll stick, right?)

HEY HEY HEY HEYYYYYYYY MY FAVORITE QUEER DRUNK ASSHOLE POET TURNED 450 TODAY (and let me tell you, there is a lot of competition for the title “favorite queer drunk asshole poet”)
BUT as we all know, there is some controversy over who ACTUALLY wrote shakespeare’s plays!
so in order to mark this SERIOUS and LEGITIMATE issue, i have compiled the most likely theories in this comprehensive list:
in julius caesar, cassius says, “this is my birthday; on this very day cassius was born.” on that same day, cassius DIES. guess who else was not only born on april 23, but died april 23?? that’s right, shakespeare. english playwright? or ancient roman ghost bent on revenge? YOU BE THE JUDGE.
shakespeare married a woman called anne hathaway. BATMAN ALSO MARRIED ANNE HATHAWAY. have you ever seen shakespeare and batman in the same place at the same time??????
lived in london? totally encountered prostitutes several times? probably spoke english? william shakespeare……. or JACK THE RIPPER
uh, excuse me, an uneducated glovemaker’s son couldn’t possibly have written the 38 works of art attributed to shakespeare. please consider instead this picture of a cat pushing another cat in a shopping cart. you’re welcome.
