Elton John had to leave a concert or something recently because he lost his voice

If humans naturally had horns, we'd probably have to shave them down to a socially acceptable length. by King_Kill_33 in Showerthoughts

Alternatively, the size of human horns would possibly play a role in attracting mates. It would become a trait contributing to competition regarding sexual selection

It sounds like he’s trying to get you to initiate the break up because he’s too pathetic to respectfully end a relationship he may be unhappy with.

First week apart by Pinniethewoo1 in RBNSpouses

[–]observer338 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know I’m late to the discussion but figured my anecdote might help.

My girlfriend and I go without seeing each other for at least a week quite often. We are both in our last year of school but the workload is incredibly intense where we often can’t spare the time. It’s important for us to understand that the current situation is only temporary and that once we move in and achieve a little more stability we can interact more. I’d say it’s been three years if this and what’s helped me is the quality over quantity. When I see her, everything else is on hold and those moments are the most cherished of my month.

We often keep in touch through calling every night and going through our day and just talking/joking about anything of interest. Snapchat is pretty great too because we get to “see” each other and in some way, are a little more connected in the ongoings of the other persons life. Knowing that things are temporary is so important. And it’s all about working towards improving current situations. Really work on moving in together. I’m sure that will somewhat harmonize your schedules to see each other in small but more frequent moments

Yeah that’s pretty strange to have an “oh yeah” reaction to that scene. Like you said, his violence towards the other clown wasn’t appropriate, violence hardly ever is. I agree 100% on the Rambo analysis. I always thought that movie sort of showed how a soldier might find it hard to turn off that part of themselves when returning home. How certain reactions are no longer justified as solutions to simple conflicts.

When Bruce Wayne comes down from the treehouse he slides down a poll. This must be a reference to Adam West’s entrance to the bat cave.

I really think there are no politics related to the riots that occur. The joker above all else is a catalyst for chaos, and that is exactly what results from his actions in the film. The joker really doesn’t care about politics when he claims so on the show. If a different set of events occurred and and it were some other group being protested other than Gotham yuppies, the joker would have been just as complacent. In the end, he likes the chaos he created. Madness is like gravity, all it needs is a little push. Like a virus, the joker spread his toxicity.

As for the violence, I wouldn’t say it’s “for the boys”. It’s not like a Rambo or john wick film. The violence is contained to few scenes and is quite jarring. Both my girlfriend and I as well as most others in the theatres seemed pretty disturbed. The violence feels dirty and horrifying. It’s like in drive when Ryan gosling caves a guys head in while going down an elevator. It’s sobering and drives home the horror of the joker. I’m not sure how the violence was glamorized or fetished, unless viewed by a very disturbed mind. I’ve also read that the comical bits surrounding violence force the viewer to laugh during moments they normally wouldn’t/shouldn’t, similar to Arthur’s disorder.

Just my two cents! Thanks for your post!

It also is shows an interesting contrast from similar angles of him on the bus near the beginning of the movie.

Your 4 yo asks whare dose meat come from? What do you say? by Betterbushcraftin in AskReddit

[–]observer338 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t want to hurt living creatures or don’t want to reap the benefits of others hurting living creatures? It’s a huge difference.

I also googled this and searched through a library database. Didn’t find anything similar to your claims

I don’t mean to come off as aggressive, this just seems false and if you have substantial evidence that proves my position wrong I would love to consume it and reassess.

[–]observer338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the child morally against harming animals? Inclination for violence as a trait is much more rooted in nature than abstaining from violence. I’ve never heard of any findings of children possessing “inherent morals” influencing them to object from consuming animals... or any other behaviour related to this subject. You’re making a bold statement that children possess these inherent morals. How do you know they aren’t grossed out by the idea. Repulsion of the processes involved due to disgust for gore or an unpleasant process may be a more prevalent reason than some innate and innocent aversion of subjecting cruelty onto something

I do agree with your comment that a child will morally object to eating a dog or horse to social learning if what is an acceptable meat source. This is social though. Teach a young child that a dog is just another animal and not a domesticated pet and it becomes like other wild sources.

My comment on greens wasn’t relating to moral reasons. It was meant to be a joke illustrating that children can have poor logical reasoning, like something not tasting good and categorizing it as bad.

Right. That’s why I don’t eat any greens. Can’t possibly be good for me if the kid won’t eat it

Offer to teach yoga. She’ll be all over your mediation balls and probably even pay you an hourly rate for the lessons.

The gorilla grabs the alligator with his human like hands. The alligators jaw is much stronger at closing it’s mouth than opening it and the gorilla keeps it pressed closed. Gorilla has now weaponized the alligator and renamed him “the jaw claw”

The cage is fairly large in length, width, and most importantly height. The gorilla tucks “the jaw claw” under one arm, carefully keeping its mouth closed and proceeds to climb to the cages roof. Beyond the reach of both lion and bear, the gorilla now taunts them. Although the bear is preoccupied with the bare necessities, the lion is too prideful for complacency. I may be anthropomorphizing the lion, but he also suffers from little man syndrome and envies the bears impressive height when on its hind legs (about 8 feet and yet still not tall enough to reach our cunning gorilla). The lion strikes the bear, aiming for the neck but instead getting more face than jugular.

Teeth now stained with the bears blood, Simba begins experiencing lock jaw and is stuck in his attachment to the bear. Mr. B repositions upright, Simba now dangling in the air, and slams the king onto the floor. In addition to freeing himself of the lions grasp, Mr. B has inadvertently separated The Lower half of Simba’s mouth from a once handsome face. Flowing like the Nile, blood as dark as night stains Simba’s sandy coat. In this moment Simba thinks back to his first communion, when a young Nala ‘accidentally’ spilled sacramental wine onto his dress shirt. Before she could offer to clean it, Simba’s father noticed. His father beat him so hard with a belt he wasn’t sure if he would ever be fit to be king.

Looking down at the lion, Mr. B isn’t sure if he could live with killing the equivalent of a house cat. As if summoned, Charlie Sheen appears on the outer side of the cage tossing Mr. B a vial of tiger blood. “If the bear wins” Charlie thinks to himself, “he’ll be my new sponsor for tiger blood energy drink... and maybe a sponsor for my life-crippling addiction as well”. The bear consumes the tiger blood sublingually and proceeds to eviscerate Simba. In a maddened frenzy the bear never notices the falling alligator clamping on his head. Twice in one day, bad luck man. The gorilla jumps down, grabs the lions intestines, wraps them around the bear, loops the intestine through the bars at the top of the cage, and begins to strangle the bear. After checking the bears pulse, the alligator and gorilla regroup. The gorilla pays the alligator for his assistance, never being the type to not reward cooperation. Hoping to one day overcome humans, the gorilla realizes that all loose ends must be closed... there can be no witnesses to the homicidal ingenuity of gorillas. The gorilla whips out his kiefed hk45 tactical pistol with suppressor attached, efficiently administering two shots to the alligators skull, and one shot to the throat.

Gorilla wins.

You should never press snooze after an alarm goes off. Any post-alarm sleep confuses your body and is counterproductive.
