I made this after accidentally triggering somebody's manic psychosis.
Can I steal it to recklessly distribute throughout mystical and mental health meme spaces?
You are subscribed to lemmy mental and mystical meme spaces? May I ask in which instance these are please?
Right off hand there's Witchy Memes but I meant just as much off Lemmy as on.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !witchymemes@lemmy.world
Good bot.
Absolutely!
Fuck yeah. It's an apt description of the specific way in which I am a menace.
Hail Eris! Hail Discordia!
I might have to print it and put it on a lanyard. Or it sometimes feels like that.
Crisis should be crises, plural. I believe this is an example of faulty parallelism.
I considered that spelling as well. I think the plural and singular both fit.
Nope.
Right now the list reads plural, plural, and singular. Parallelism states that all words in a list should have the same form. So they should all be plural, or all singular.
While that is true, it also means various types of alterations in consciousness and paradigm shifts, but there is really only one type of existential crisis.
Well I don't really agree with that and I also don't think it's a solution to faulty parallelism.
There are multiple types of crises, but every existential crisis is an existential crisis. The plurality is negated by the modifier, "existential."
Not really. A midlife crisis and a psychotic episode could both be called existential crises. I don't think there's a hard definition to it like you seem to be asserting.
I can already tell that if I continue this conversation, you'll be the one in the picture.
Meaning you're going to refuse to learn about faulty parallelism?
Meaning you're getting blocked for your own good.
Funny, despite your clever picture, I don't seem to be the one suffering in this exchange.
