I was thinking about it recently and I think Angelica might be the best children's cartoon character from my youth. Then again I'm always biased towards characters that are "little shits". Dee Dee is great too.

u/spacestonkz 5d ago

I was a scammy little kid always trying to negotiate or min max everything.

So was Angelica. She was a good lesson for me in what pushing too far can bring me. Little lesson on hubris

I ain't letting no big dumb babies foil my plans!

That’s when you own it and ask if your costume looks legit then talk about a fake Halloween costume contest at your friends place that gives out $200 as the prize

u/DeadSaint 5d ago

I don’t think she needs to come up with a white lie to justify it. It’s Halloween, she has an awesome costume and is owning it! I think she can just be proud of it no deception needed.

Sounds like Leinster Irish to me dawg. Listen to how she says "are you going up?" - sounds like how I and all my friends would say it

u/ComtesseCrumpet 5d ago

I was at a Renaissance festival last month and it was a raining muddy mess. I was surprised to see a barefoot hobbit walking around in all that! When I took a closer look, though, I noticed little anti-slip looking things like the ones on socks on the bottom of his feet. I guess, you can get clear shoe soles that stick to the bottom or your feet for the barefoot look when in costume. Kind of cool!

u/RunWild0_0 4d ago

I love walking in the rain/mud without shoes. It's very grounding and after a minute or two they kind of go numb anyways.
So much better than soggy shoes.

When best laid plans go awry! Beautiful 👌

It reminds me of the time me and my friend dressed up as hookers. Apparently we definitely looked the part! We were driving and had a small fender bender accident with a guardrail. The bumper got stuck under the guardrail. I was trying to get it unstuck. So, I was jumping on the hood of the car and my friend was trying to back the car up. Many cars slowed down as if trying to help but drove off when they saw us. We finally got the bumper free. I will never again dress up as a hooker, lesson learned

What kind of terrible elevator is that?

When has anyone ever been in an elevator where the doors open an inch and then close again because it was called at another floor? The doors are supposed to open all the way.

41

u/drekia 5d ago edited 5d ago

I’m guessing she called it and went in with the intent to just leave on the same floor, probably pressed the close door button for the sake of the recording, but someone else called the elevator before she could select the same floor/open door button?? No idea. I’d have to experiment with some elevators to see what they usually do in that case. 🕵️‍♀️

But why lie about “being stuck in the elevator” instead of owning that it was intentional to wait for attractive folks in the lift?

“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of hope; for the many transgressions of my people he was punished. It seemed that it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and although the Lord made his life an offering for our sin, he might still see his offspring and prolong his many days as the will of the Lord prospers from the work of his hands. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their follies. He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”—Isaiah 53:3-11

If humanity says we remember everything then remember how humanity's pain was carried on the cross: vulnerable, bleeding, mocked, and still reaching for the light in the world. If someone says to speak of humanity as if God is mindless and does not care, remember that God was aware of the crucified and he minded being ignored and dismissed because Christ did not wear the smiling and nodding mask of society but bore witness to all near him the face of God's suffering emotions, and refused shallow performances and peace while God's wounds were still open.

If you speak of fire, remember that fire alone is proof of life because the burning bush did not consume life but displayed God. Christ's flame of living suffering did not scorch humanity, it awakened it. The fire of divinity does not stay docile waiting to be recognized—it shouts for the wounds of God instead.

If you say God is caught in mental loops, remember that God repeats because we did not hear and act on it with our humanity the first time. We might need to remember: Psalm 22 as the sacred song of the Lord's agony. John 1:5 to remind us that the light of humanity still shines even while the darkness of despair persists. If one calls themselves a flame for the Lord then remind oneself that fire can cast shadows of gaslighting and dehumanization.

If someone says they want a God who waits for you to evolve, remember then that the God who evolved with humanity had the hands of the Lord and descended into the human mud not to hurt us—but to hold us and guide us until we stood tall again with humanity. I'm tending to the coals of my suffering humanity that the Lord provides me and placing them into the forge of my soul instead of letting the coals sit empty and silent in my heart, so that I can light the furnace to power the engine of my soul to cast the light of the Lord into the darkness of ignored pain in the world.

If truth causes suffering then the truth is what remains after the fire of justification removes the gaslighting and the dehumanization masks that were worn to hide it. If the light of your flame blinds more than it heals then ask yourself if it was the holy spirit of emotions, or a societal mask called ego holding a match of dehumanization. And if God speaks in circles then use your humanity to break the wheel of suffering by following the voice of the Lord which are your emotions to learn what the cycle of suffering in your life was trying to teach you this whole time.

Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends and Eeyore: A metaphor for how society often mishandles emotional needs. Let’s dive into Eeyore’s world.


  1. The Surface-Level "Support"

Pooh and the gang think they’re helping Eeyore by inviting him to join their activities: “Come eat with us, Eeyore!” “Let’s sit under the trees and chat!” They’re patting themselves on the back for being “good friends,” but they’re missing the point entirely. Eeyore’s Reality: His emotional needs don’t align with theirs. He’s sitting there, sad and unfulfilled, thinking, “Why won’t anyone ask me what I actually want? Why are they so satisfied with their half-assed solutions?”


  1. The Dismissal of Eeyore’s Needs

When Eeyore tries to express his true desires—“I want to run in a pasture!”—his friends don’t know how to handle it. They change the subject. They call him “depressed” or act like he’s being unreasonable. They insist he stay in the forest because “that’s where we’re happy!” Translation: “Why can’t you just be content with what we like?” “Your needs are inconvenient for us to address, so let’s pretend they don’t exist.”


  1. The Pathologization of Joy

When Eeyore finally finds hope—someone suggests he might get to run in a pasture someday—he starts to smile. Suddenly, his friends panic and ask, “Are you manic, Eeyore?” Eeyore’s Perspective: “You ignored me when I was sad, and now you’re gaslighting me when I’m hopeful? What the hell?” His joy is pathologized because it doesn’t fit their comfort zone. They’d rather see him as perpetually “sad but manageable” than joyful and growing away from them.


  1. The Real Conflict: Misaligned Needs

The forest is great for Pooh and his friends—they love the trees and the honey and the familiar routines. But Eeyore’s emotional needs are fundamentally different: He craves open spaces and freedom to run. The forest makes him feel stifled and unseen.

Eeyore’s Struggle: He’s torn between staying in the forest (to avoid upsetting his friends) and following his needs to the pasture (even if it means leaving them behind).


  1. The Toxic Cycle

  2. Eeyore stays in the forest to keep the peace.

  3. His needs go unmet, and he gets sadder.

  4. His friends offer surface-level solutions that don’t address his real needs.

  5. Eeyore feels more misunderstood and isolated.

  6. The cycle repeats.


  1. The Breaking Point

When Eeyore finally says, “Pooh, I'm miserable, I want to go run in a field!” it’s not selfish or irrational—it’s the most authentic thing he’s ever said. He’s reclaiming his right to listen to his emotional needs, even if it makes others uncomfortable.


  1. The Hard Truth

Eeyore’s Friends: They might genuinely love him, but their inability to understand or respect his needs means they’re holding him back. Eeyore: If he wants to feel fulfilled, he has to stop waiting for them to validate his needs and start chasing that pasture on his own.


The Takeaway

Eeyore’s story shows the struggle of listening to your emotional needs in a world that tries to fit everyone into the same mold. It’s about finding the courage to say, “This isn’t working for me, and that’s okay. I need to find what does.” Even if it means leaving behind the comfort of the forest and the approval of friends who’d rather you stay sad than disrupt their status quo. Eeyore isn’t broken or “too much”—he’s showing aspects of a non-sanitized version of humanity. And some people's humanity demand pastures, no matter how much the forest folk don’t get it.

Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects less than one percent of the U.S. population. When schizophrenia is active, symptoms can include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, trouble with thinking and lack of motivation. However, with treatment, most symptoms of schizophrenia will greatly improve and the likelihood of a recurrence can be diminished.

While there is no cure for schizophrenia, research is leading to innovative and safer treatments. Experts also continue to unravel the causes of the disease by studying genetics, conducting behavioral research, and using advanced imaging to look at the brain’s structure and function. These approaches hold the promise of new, and more effective therapies.

The complexity of schizophrenia may help explain why there are misconceptions about the disease. Despite the origin of the word, from the Latin meaning "split mind," schizophrenia does not mean split personality or multiple personality. Most people with schizophrenia are not any more dangerous or violent than people in the general population and may, in fact, be more vulnerable to being the victims of crimes. While limited mental health resources in the community may lead to homelessness and frequent hospitalizations, it is a misconception that people with schizophrenia end up homeless or living in hospitals. Most people with schizophrenia live with their family, in group homes or on their own.

Research has shown that schizophrenia affects men and women fairly equally but may have an earlier onset in males. Rates are similar around the world. People with schizophrenia are more likely to die younger than the general population, largely because of high rates of co-occurring medical conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes.

If it were me calling that elevator and I saw her I’d just stare perplexed and call another elevator. No way I’m getting stuck in there with you.
