Or
>it's a boy that looks like a girl, sounds like a girl, behaves like a girl, and was raised like a girl (so he wouldn't get impregnated like his mother)
I wonder which side is delusional and doing mental gymnastics. My advice to you is to go back.

Impressed by the mental gymnastics you got going on in that head of yours.

no, spaced repetition algorithms make them useful, but what you describe doesn't have that

I want audio that is both english and japanse, sorted by individual word. that is all. If there are contextual sentences added that's a bonus. but the meat of my context is going to come from the stuff these words are in.

Far from it. EOPism is a cult at this point and they will make the most pathetic excuses and insane mental gymnastics to insist that everyone should be consuming westoid fanfiction. And most of the ones that do attempt learning fail at it due to incredibly inefficient psyops such as kanji study or Anki.

Assuming it was a bad boss and not her being a troubled individual, just because you don’t like costumes or a business model, is crazy.
Mental gymnastics in this place are Olympic.

my mom isn't in that ugly whore pic. low effort mental gymnastics, cuck.

The mental gymnastics begin. What kind of horseshit will the twinkcuck cook up?

Underage anon finally understands that reality doesn't live up to the mental gymnastics he went through to justify the hype
She's still absolutely shitting on the game so props to her for that

Nice fudanshi mental gymnastics. Being straight is defined by being attracted to the opposite sex. Drooling over males then is NOT "one of the straightest parts of being a straight man". But looking at two girls being together is very straight from the perspective of a man.

>"Goku, you fucking promised to marry me as a kid, so do it alright"
>"Uh I don't really get it but sure why not"
Sounds to me like Chichi proposed and Goku accepted. But if you want to do mental gymnastics that's fine by me.

what's eye rolling about posts like these is that it's always the exact same talk
>poster A makes blanket statement
>poster B asks for examples
>assuming poster A doesn't run away or double down on the generalizations, they post either "take that" examples intended to spin the strawman (whoreharu in this case)
>or they post literal meme shit they consoom from mangadex, most of which don't even have a novel version
>poster B points out what i just did
>poster A starts doing reverse mental gymnastics by claiming poster B is moving the goalposts or claiming x doesn't count (it really doesn't, in the same way i can't claim jewtube shitposts prove all western cartoons/film are shit)
>assuming poster A doesn't do that, they finally start posting real media like say, arifureta
>poster B starts pointing out MCs in those do in fact face adversity
>poster A starts complaining it's not sufferingslop so it's bad writing, and this part will continue with increasingly more absurd examples of sufferslop
>given enough time the mask of poster A will slip and you will find out they are either just looking for reasons to shit on japanese media because it's japanese, or they are parroting shit they treat as fact due to hearing it so often from their peers, or both
>continue pressing poster A and you will find out this misconception comes from speedreading too much manga to the point everything starts to feel like a blur to poster A, which is a pretty big problem when adaptations are already inherently dumbed down
>triple down on the conversation by asking for specific "trope" examples and eventually poster A will confess a lot of that mental paste doesn't even come from japanese manga but from gookshit

lol
>because the way something is worded is semanthics.
I think you should do a quick google search what semantics mean, Mr. Read Between the Lines.
>ZUN going out of his way to clarify what he means when he says "suns"
He didn't go out of his way to mean shit, he just said i.e. Apollo meaning one of the said suns was Apollo. One of the suns was also Junko's son, by the way.
In fact, the fact that he said "suns" instead of just Apollo or even just "sun" instead of plural is more damning than whatever mental gymnastics you're trying to pull here.
>ZUN loosely tying a myth to a character's backstory in a way that would fit in his established world, like say, the fisherman in CiLR.
>ZUN confirming there were ten suns, actual suns, not metaphorical suns, actual suns which Houyi shot down, carrying with them all the implications of such a feat.
Both aren't exclusive.
>Your argument hinges on the fact that Touhou's version of the myth is the same as the one of legends.
It's not. Junko also isn't Hou Yi's wife in the myth, but her character is instead part of another chinese myth that ZUN combined with the chinese creation myth. My argument doesn't hinge on that.
>. An assumption backed by no facts other than only one sun existing
An "assumption" backed by what is written in the omake and what is shown in the games, like Junko because being vengeful her son was also one of the suns that were shot down.
I'm not assuming some kind of nebulous curvature of the myth because others have done it before (except not fully, just like Chang'e's myth), so in this part that I have personally focused on it must be different from the myth because I don't want it to be. Which is what you're doing.
>How do you know the one sun that wasn't shot down isn't special in some way? How do you know the other suns were actual suns? How do you know there were ten? You can't know for sure, only speculate. And speculation is all you have for your claim of Touhou's supposed power level, not a mere supporting, sensible guess, rather an outlandish reach with insane implications and would mean such a departure from the series' usual style it would put Yorihime marrying her nephew to shame. That is the basis for your argument.
So your argument is based around "BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW?"
Ok.
How do you know Remilia's name isn't actually Remilia but something else? She's lied before. Maybe she's not even a vampire, but just an oni pretending to be one.
How do you Akyuu isn't making literally everything up in the books? How do you know if Kaguya actually killed Mokou's father and it wasn't just Mokou hallucinating everything?
Barely any of those were shown firsthand.
Do you know why all these retarded questions are retarded? Because info has to be ingested to be truth despite it not everything being certain, or none at all. It's Occam's Razor.

You're speculating far, FAR more than I have here. You're diverting so much from the myth because you just don't want to believe something like that happened, when in fact similar things have happened before like Makai being destroyed.
>Tell me then, how is it more wrong to assume the series continued doing what it always did?
Because you're assumptions are so focused on what is being argued. Is it true that myths in Touhou often aren't 1:1 to their real equivalent? Yes.
But that's not what you're arguing. What you're arguing is "This precise, exact point in this myth cannot be true simply because it is too absurd for me to accept it, so it must have diverted here in some manner despite me not having much ground to stand on."

>analed doggystyle
Would she go in denial about it feeling good, like alps tend to do, or just use mental gymnastics to justify it as good and nice?

>>46609189
What's really retarded is that you think that anon, who joins a server for years is never compelled to make cuck posts and even enacts rules against them, sometimes turns around and posts the same kind of posts he dislikes on /jp/, where the same rules are in place.

What's the point of this mental gymnastics?

>all these mental gymnastics when Aki is just a whore

caring about shame is the mark of a slave
shame literally means you care about how others percieve you and you let that form you
you are controlled by other people's thoughts, meaning ur a literal slave but obviously slaves will form mental gymnastics to deny this so me saying this to you wont help

honestly, its not even about the benefits they get from it.
people understand that they are in an unhealthy position. it just depends how they approach it. some people are pragmatic and take their situation objectively. others choose to train their mental gymnastics instead, which is why we have assisted suicide movements like bodypositivity.

i've written a bunch of stuff here and on other platforms about exercise. many people are thankful and copy/save them. however there is always a persistent bunch that is just straight up ignorant. like some femboy i talked to said he would eat out each day for 12 dollars but apparently going to a grocery store and buying unproccessed shit is impossible since he's been "outpriced" due to the "economy".

like people really blaming everything but themselves and expecting the world to sing kumbaya.

at this point, i would just cut my losses and just not engage. if they succumb to impulsiveness and choose to dig graves with their own teeth despite several attempts from strangers to family to help them, so be it. the freedom of choice is truly remarkable.

heres a link to a study that shows that everybody, yes EVERYBODY responds to exercise, given that you have enough stimulus for an adequate amount of time.

>they appear to be one
They are women. They don't "appear" to be women, it's not an illusion or a trick or something else. No amount of mental gymnastics will help you here.
