If I were the exploding bear I’d make all the clocks move 5% too slow during the day and 10% too fast at night. Sleep deprived teenagers are unfocused, irrational and emotionally volatile. And sometimes during the day they’d move normally or 5% too fast so that people couldn’t adapt.
Every now and then I would do a food delivery that is nothing but milk and flour. Then back to normal the next day. Zero explanation.
I’d lock bedroom doors at random, trapping people inside or outside. Relying solely on death threats and isolation is for amateurs. You need to remove their sense of security and stability.
These kids are wholly dependent on you and you alone for every resource and privilege they have and you’re not leveraging that in your despair games? You just went straight to elaborate executions? Did you put any thought into this facility at all, exploding bear?
Embarrassingly unoptimized child abuse 😔
We have data on this. It is so fucking easy to abuse children or prisoners and these guys are both. Plenty of parents do it BY ACCIDENT. Guy couldn’t read one book about torture?
Oh I wouldn’t do this to MY students, that would be unprofessional. Kidnapped death game participants only. I don’t want to lose my blue card.
One must be patient and tolerant of the mutuals and those you’ve followed forever suddenly bombarding you with random white boys on your dash because one day the roles may be reversed, *spooky voice* it could happen to you
I’ve always found it insane how a tactic to “help” people with addiction is to threaten to revoke your support from them like do you really think you can ultimatum someone out of a disease. Do you think if you tell someone with bipolar you’re deleting their name out of your contacts they’ll snap out of a manic episode like the people in snickers commercials after they get a candy bar
The Far Right is Rising in the Land of ‘Never Again’
Jan Böhmermann talks about the upcoming elections, the rise of the far-right Afd, and how a country can deal with our history and how we can never let it happen again.
At the end of the day you have to understand some people are mentally ill like really really mentally ill on a level you can’t understand. I see this a lot when someone does something weird or incomprehensible and people are shocked trying to figure out their intentions and why they’d do it and it’s like there’s people who are psychotic or delusional or have rapid mood swings you’ll never be able to comprehend and very often people with other mental illnesses who are able to function more acceptably have a bad lack of understanding of that and compare what they can do and act like as the standard not understanding that’s not the same playing field
People facing addiction, eating disorders, abuse, etc as well will do things you’ll never understand. Getting in the habit of not judging or at the very least not making the lives people who aren’t harming you worse, is actually, a pretty good thing to do
I think we need one of those popular read-along blogs to tackle The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the same way that’s been done for Dracula and Moby-Dick. The number of folks around here who appear to be under the impression that reading a queer subtext into Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a subversion rather than being straightforwardly material to the plot is frankly embarrassing, and I’m assuming this is because nobody’s actually read the damn thing.
A brief refresher for the folks asking “what queer subtext”: though this element is often dropped from modern adaptations owing to audience familiarity, in the original book, the fact that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person is framed as a twist. The front half of the novel concerns a friend of Jekyll’s named Gabriel Utterson investigating the nature of the relationship between Jekyll and Hyde, and trying to figure out why Jekyll appears to be protecting Hyde. Though Utterson seems to have arrived at a conclusion early on, this conclusion is disclosed neither to other characters not to the reader.
Later, once the cat is out of the bag, it’s explained that the original motivation behind Jekyll’s scientific research was not to create a transformative serum, but to purge himself of a certain flaw in his character, the nature of which is not described. It’s additionally alluded to that this character flaw led him to commit a series of shameful indiscretions in his youth, the nature of which is not elaborated upon.
Questions for further discussion:
Prior to the big reveal, what does reading between the lines suggest Utterson thinks is going on between Jekyll and Hyde, and why is he so reluctant to disclose this belief?
What is the significance of the fact that the nature of the character flaw of which Jekyll sought to rid himself is never specified, nor the particulars of the shameful acts it led him to commit?
Why are there so many older unmarried men – including both Utterson and Jekyll himself – kicking around in this story, anyway?
I remember reading it in a college English course and met someone who genuinely managed to go in unspoiled (which was kinda incredible to me and the rest of our group who had been spoiled a hundred different ways including by looney tunes). Naturally, her assumption was that Mr. Hyde was Dr. Jekyll’s lover.
I know, right? If you’re somehow going in unspoiled, Utterson’s unspoken suspicion that Hyde is Jekyll’s kept boy isn’t even something you need to squint to see in it – it’s simply the obvious reading by contemporary standards.

John Cena’s social media is fascinating because his twitter is the most generic sounding inspirational messages ever that sound like theyre from an old calendar while his instagram is filled with weird memes that Cena mustve made himself because a lot of them seem like he’s the only person that understands them
Probably the most notable meme is Cena photoshopping someone else’s head (or an object) onto Stone Cold Steve Austin and saying “Stone Cold [thing in image]). He’s posted like hundreds of these
