An emotion: *pokes its head through the mountain of suppression I’ve buried it under*
Me, beating it with a stick: Back! Back!
I’m a bit sad that Pepsi didn’t decide to open up a PMC branch after buying up part of the Soviet navy in the 90’s
wait WHAT
“The USSR offered to pay Pepsi with a fleet of diesel ships. Pepsi accepted the deal because they knew that it was the only way to continue to sell Pepsi in the USSR. The agreement included 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a destroyer, which were sold to a Swedish company for scrap recycling. Those 17 submarines made Pepsi become, for a few days, the 6th largest military power in the world by number of diesel submarines. The president of Pepsi, Donald Kendall, told the National Security Adviser of USA: “We are disarming the USSR faster than you”.“
Isn’t it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings
This is actually because it activates your vagus nerve! Basically your body goes “we are so upset! We must be injured! Where???? On the inside guts! Those are confusing and hard to differentiate!!! Confusing guts are hurt!”
Just checked this out and it is true! According to neuroscientists “During times of stress and pain, the anterior cingulate cortex can induce increased vagus nerve activity, a nerve that runs from the brain stem and connects to the chest and abdomen, causing pain and nausea.2 All of this explains why heartbreak actually feels like your heart is in pain.”
Inspirationless: where you have the motivation but just can’t think of anything good to write.
Motivation Deprived: you have the idea, but just, don’t really wanna.
Pooped: Basically you have no ideas and don’t really feel like writing anyways.
Procrastination: Where you are SO PUMPED TO GET THIS THING DONE!! But, there’s that other thing, and, your show is on, and, you’ll just do it tomorrow.
