Don't post albums of your thinking emotes, post them individually (with the exception of consolidating already posted thinking emotes or a similarly themed set of emotes, which should be posted in an album to avoid spamming the subreddit). If you'd like to drop a dump, feel free to modmail us in order to bypass the rate limit
Use the search bar to check for reposts first. Reposting the same think under a different name is allowed, but it should be at least a month later and should not be on the first or second page of the top all time thinks. Higher quality versions of a think are not considered reposts. Titles should be concise.

The word ‘reality’ comes from the Latin res, meaning ‘thing,’ suggesting it’s just our perception of things. However, perception doesn’t equal truth. For example, the reality on a playground might be that Timmy teases Annie (seems mean), but the truth? He likes her. Similarly, the reality is we appear solid, yet the truth is, at an atomic level, we’re 99% empty space.
So, really, there’s a world that is unseen, unheard, essentially imperceptible by humans that we must believe in because it’s the truth, even if it may not be our reality. 🤔
I just feel like i should stop talking about pokemon. I've been thinking about this after i stopped making pokemon content. I know i already posted this in my alt in the @Mandjtv subreddit but i want to tell this to this reddit instead. I still haven't left the community but maybe one day......

It’s always messy, building something new.
It usually involves breaking down old foundations. It’s raw, painful and isolating.
There’s still beauty to be found if you look. We’re all works in progress, tearing down the old to make space for something better.
Life’s too short to pretend to be anything but your weird, authentic self. Even if it’s a lonely journey.
Here’s to building a life that’s unapologetically you, one sunset at a time. 🌅🥃
Ok, in life we all want happiness. It's the meaning of life. It's kinda obvious for me. We can't live without it, and something life becomes useless without. I won't use time explaining why. In happiness, the amount of discomfort and the level of happiness right now matters. If you will become happy in the future or were happy, then you will jump from the roof because the level of happiness right now matters, not the amount of happiness in life. We can't make this level consistent, because the discomfort will not let us. In life, there will be moments when you should work and moments when you should rest. We can mix them, but the discomfort will stay. We can get pretty good happiness level with a medium discomfort level. We can't really lower the discomfort level. It will stay at least at minor level. If we will THEORETICALLY eat a lot of drugs, then die the lest painful death (nearly no pain, because it will be so fast). Then we will let the highest level of happiness possible and will fell a bit discomfort for a moment, then, at the end of the life we will feel the most happy and a bit discomforted. The level of happiness in normal life is pretty good at first, but then the happiness fades away. We get used to happy things. To not get used to happy things, you should not get too much happiness. You should stay at medium level of happiness. Medium discomfort and medium happiness. If the death will be less painful then medium level, then death will be better then life! Can you prove me wrong?
I constantly feel sick due to stress. Quick back story, was a stay at home mom for 10yrs. My ex cheated, was abusive, and left for another woman. I didn’t work while home and went back to school so I could get a job when youngest started school. Well, I’m still not certified because I struggle with the certification process exams! I have had a full time job the last 2yrs but I’m struggling more than I can continue to bare! I can’t afford to keep renting but lenders don’t talk long with me because of my credit. It’s be cheaper monthly to own a home than rent. I can’t afford the bills I have. I have like 36k in debt, mostly student loan. I don’t have the funds to repay! Right now my stomach is in knots and both ends of me want to expel! I’m currently crying. I work multiple side gigs! I have one streaming service but that’s it for watching things. I do have internet for school work and selling things. I’m trying to sell what I can. I want to give up but not an option. I need money and quickly but can’t seem the to earn it. I don’t know what to do! I can’t do a second job out of the home. I work so much but I’m only getting further behind. I’m not eating like I should because of the stress! I need financial help so bad but can’t seem to find the help I need so much! I need to buy contacts and several other necessities but I don’t think I’m going to be able too! I just want to feel less stress! So much less! Sleep is off too because of stress! I do receive child support but that’s minimal! I feel like I’m failing my kids and I feel justice will never be served towards my ex husband! I spend my days trying to figure out how to better my situation but I can’t! I had to stop therapy, chiropractic, doing anything out of the home that costs. I need help but where to get the help I need! I tried to do a fundraiser once and not one response! Today, I had a garage sale…only $8.75! I’m grateful for that, but that isn’t much to help. Typing this all out is making me cry more but at the same time, I’m not spiraling as much! Mom is pushing my to look for a house but there is nothing I can afford. What is a stretched out doable for a house, will require lots of work that I can’t afford to pay! Oh, my lawnmower is dead! I can’t take any more issues! I can’t handle all the mess I have that I didn’t ask for or cause! *Side note, I feel like the clouds on the far right of photo are looking like an angel. Love that!
I woke up at 5:30|AM this morning and started cleaning, and organizing the house without breakfast. As I was organizing and spending time to move the dirt and leaves out and off the concrete i was having enlightening thoughts about organizing and communication.
Then came the curiosity about comparing my enjoyment in the backyard cleaning rather than my room.
What could be some possibilities that i enjoy cleaning my backyard rather than my room??
I have a small room and it gets difficult to make my room a productive environment that allows me to be comfortable when I rest.
My room mess is more of an unorganized, dead dreamland and my only other problem is laundry.
How to get donations when no where allows to be asked? I lost stuff for sale and I can’t get it sold or sold fast enough. I make stuff to sell and list things no longer need/ want. I need a replacement van after mine was totaled due to no fault of me. I can’t afford more than 12k that insurance paid, can’t afford new insurance in addition to all the bills and debt I have due to divorce. I feel my only way to get help is to ask for donations. I hate that I feel that I’m at that point. It makes me want to cry and feel more depressed than I already feel. I want to feel happy again and to be able to enjoy life. I can’t when so stressed over lack of income (despite my best efforts) & wondering if I can afford what I need to afford too! I cut back on all I could. Don’t know what else I can do. I work full time and several side jobs. As mentioned, I sell unwanted or things I’ve made. 4th July, I set up a cotton candy and crafts I’ve made stand. I did okay! I live on a road a lot of people passed by to go to the carnival! Well, I am going to go shower and make more to sell and try not to think so I don’t cry!
Forget politics; if one's viewpoint is that their side can never be wrong on complex, ever-changing topics, they exhibit cult-like, broken thinking. This phenomenon, observed in cognitive psychology, influences how people perceive media bias and interpret political events.
When Republicans are in power, the right-leaning media will have their backs even when they're blatantly wrong, just like Democrats do.— because both parties operate identically at their base level. Research on group polarization shows how individuals in like-minded groups tend to adopt more extreme positions, the same behavior we see now pushed by politicians, media and online.
Everyone I’ve spoken with, who pays attention to even 5% of media propaganda, concludes our system is broken or corrupt, regardless of their party affiliation— a perspective supported by social identity theory, which suggests individuals derive identity from their groups. More conclusively, research shows how social identity impacts political attitudes.
Politicians amass wealth beyond their salaries through insider trading and supplying weapons and aid to both sides of global conflicts, driven by financial gain from insider knowledge. For example, in 2022, 97 members of Congress were found to have violated the STOCK Act, a law designed to combat insider trading by lawmakers. Additionally, between 2020 and 2022, there were over 60 instances of members of Congress being investigated for insider trading or related financial misconduct.
For the past three consecutive years, the Pentagon failed its own government’s audits, leaving trillions of dollars unaccounted for— an unfathomable situation anywhere else in life or business and indicative of corruption.
Instances of insider trading are numerous, such as Nancy Pelosi’s stock tracker apps and her on-paper purchases of stocks like Nvidia weeks before congressional announcements for sector funding that boosted the stock, netting millions in profits. Examples are so frequent that even Warren Buffett claims he couldn't predict with Pelosi’s accuracy. Studies by several mainstream media outlets confirm these patterns, easily accessible with a quick Google search.
The chairman of the SEC can be seen on CNN advocating for the restriction of average, everyday “Joe’s” not being able to legally discuss their stock portfolio because “it’s not insider trading but it a regular person shouldn’t be able to move the markets” but “their money immediately goes into dark funds and doesn’t really move the markets” which ironically both reveals that the money of every day Americans is invested differently within the markets than that headphones or the ultra-rich as well as the irony of Jim Kramer on camera for YEARS with statistically the worst possible stock suggestions— such as Tesla is NOT a good buy (there are minutes long Supercuts of him on YouTube hilariously telling people not to buy the best stocks and to buy the worst stocks) which definitively moves the markets, thereby revealing the Rules for the but not for me reality of our countries entire monetary system and structuring of its socioeconomic classes.
Americans often travel abroad for medical procedures such as dental work, cosmetic surgery and fertility treatments for affordability and effectiveness. Research in economic psychology explores how economic stressors affect mental health and political attitudes— and in a country in recession with leadership telling us we’re not— those stressors are in overdrive.
Media reports on inflation percentages, but when citizens go to order a bacon egg and cheese at the deli, they pay $6.75-$7.25 for a sandwich that cost $2.75-$3.50 just a few years prior. And the sandwich now has half the meat for triple the cost.
Politicians tell the country to trust their word over video evidence, insisting belief in their 'team' even when evidence contradicts them. Pelosi engages in insider trading openly, McConnell has physical and mental episodes on live television, while his doctors claim nothing is wrong and Biden refuses to release his current mental acuity test results. Biden also criticizes every idea from the previous president while implementing some of the precise policies, like building a wall and requiring asylum seekers to wait in their own countries— while claiming the ideas as his own.
People on the Internet often cannot move past party politics to discuss reality from a centrist, unbiased, statistical, scientific, and reality-based perspective, with no personal investment in whether specific politicians are right or wrong.
When examined closely through the lense of the internet one might think our country has rather imbalanced priorities in the macro, but once you zoom in on the micro, everyday real-world one-on-one interactions remind you how different life is from the internet. It makes one wonder if humans lie to themselves all day, with the truth laid bare on the internet.
I WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN HOW DO YOU DO THIS
I remember a certain night it was raining and it was me and my dad on the terace of our villa in Boikovo isaid why don't you come inside where it's warm zand he said "Why i feel great here i fell calm its everything that anyone would need just sit here relax and listen it's so calm it's so beautiful". It's something i still remind myself about cause let's face it what would anyone need just some rain a chair and some dry place to watch from as the night rain makes the landscape look tiny and mineature while keeping it beautiful and stunning. Music is a great tool to see that, just play something slow and calm and start to feel at peace as the rain makes you sleepy. that might be the best sleep in a long time, a type of slumber often portrayed as out of this world, a dream far nicer than any other. It's just as it is there's many things great about our planet cause it can be the most beautiful in it's own way out of all others in the entire universe. Take brutalism for example a huge building made of concrete that makes you feel minimalistic.Many people hate brutalism but many embrace it cause they see it different like me cause perception would change everything, like the rain, just calm down and use your senses.
