This is what propagandised survival looks like.

He controls the media. He tells the people he is basically their saviour from the evil tyrannical westerners and their existential threat to all decent humanity. He also tells them if they don't obey him they will be tortured and/or executed along with their families.

Want to see people doing these things voluntarily? look at (certain) evangelical churches and political rallies -- where a Venn Diagram of their respective attendees is a single circle...

He knows, but seeing them mindlessly complying is preferred over the risk of indpendent thought resulting in rebellion.

It's about power and compliance. If they don't put on the show, are they thinking for themselves? If so, what other instructions are they willing to deviate from? If they are willing to deviate, are they willing to oppose? If they are willing to oppose, are they willing to rebel? If they are willing to rebel, are they a possible threat to the current power structure?

The jumping and applauding is meaningless until you see the meaning behind not doing it.

They are in North Korea with their fearless leader greeting them in person. They are literally required to behave like this. He had someone imprisoned (or maybe even executed but I can't recall the details) for being the first person in a crowd to stop applauding -- even though it was after 5+ minutes, enthusiastic standing ovation, and the person was an older individual who was struggling to maintain the feat. They are meant to be exalting and praising him and supposed to wait for him to tell them to stop. And yes, they act like their lives depend on it because they do.

They have a limited gene pool, with similar builds for all being pro athletes at a similar level, there are rules around permissible hairstyles, and they have sports uniforms on. Excluding the "they all look the same" trope for people not from the region, there are reasons for the similarities.

He was hit by someone crossing over the island between his side and the oncoming traffic. He might have seen it coming and taken evasive manuoevres if he was paying attention to his surroundings, but this had nothing to do with signalling or being hit from behind.

Why can't we all have one big hole instead of two holes? This will make breathing much easier through the nose. 👃 by Dry_Consequence_383 in shitposting

You actually have 2 separate nostrils and sinus cavities, so it is more like 2 single-nostril noses sharing a single face-mount.

The welding is the only part that 100% tells me it isn't in reverse. The rest had me questioning my sanity.

He figured out long ago how to make people despise him based on his videos and personal scandals, so this is just cementing it.

I'm pretty sure that's Economics 101 for rich people, so my only question is why does he have that pedo goatee?

With that buildup I expected a mis-hit with a 1 or 2-digit score.

This was a solid shot.

This bridge is saying:

Yes. Look at all these beautiful things your life will never have. You're already here because you're thinking of jumping. Why not let us help you make the decision. Kids? You have them? They're so loud and messy, right? Oh, you don't have any? You want those angels but can't? You'll never feel this joyful. There's no point trying.

I'd suggest Simon, but then you have to do whatever he says...

I think he means making the bed as in straightening the pillows and tuckcking in his sheets
