That’s pretty similar to what cats do to mice. There’s never been a case of an Orca in the wild attacking and killing a human.

Right? There's definitely kids being kids and then there's kids like me who grow up not knowing how to set boundaries, becoming a people pleaser to the extent that I have trouble making decisions without input from others, and I'm pretty sure I've been anxious since my first spanking. I am working on my conflict avoidance and being assertive.

I also started learning that most of my anxiety and depression triggers are directly linked to my ADHD behaviors/symptoms. So even the counselor I started seeing for those almost 10 yrs ago missed all the signs. It took going through a communications worksheet with our premarital counselor who specializes and has it himself to suggest I get evaluated. I always thought I maybe had a twinge just being so talkative and forgetful but the more I've learned... it's been right there front and center my whole life. And I was a child so I didn't have the words to explain how I felt or understand that what I was dealing with wasn't "just me". I'm not lazy like my mom said, I'm not broken or deficient... my husband has described it best, he said it's like being left handed in a right handed world. I just have to learn to do the differently in a way that works WITH my brain and not fight against it so much.

I'm sorry you went through that accusation as a child, it couldn't have been fun and if it had been me, I'd have taken it very personally even at 7. At least someone cared enough to at least suggest you get checked just in case though. Grass is always greener as they say.

Consta-

Interesting I wonder how much our will to live impacts our ability to keep living even in extreme conditions and how that system works

“I mean, if you knew anything about my father, none of this comes as a surprise. It’s almost expected - so it is what it is. Anyway, here’s my brother-son.”

> Even the life story of Jesus was likely based on the story of Mithras, which was in turn likely based on the story of Horus. This might have been done deliberately to make Christianity more palatable to Romans, or just developed organically as Christianity was gaining acceptance into Rome.

Curious now, what about a full-grown man born from stone is similar to Jesus?

I live in a town that's approximately sea level. We routinely get below zero temps in the winter.

I don't have kids myself. I think (and hope) that it isn't that bad anymore. They basically expected young children to sit attentively in class for several hours at a time, I really don't know what they were thinking.

"Quite strange", it says here.

Or as we call that in Maine "a typical Wednesday in January."

Oh we loved our those frisbees back in the day here in Germany. They had dozens laying around at mediamarkt checkout (electronics store) . We didn't have a pc anyways!

As kids we loved the Australian soundtrack album and played it to death. We later got the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack too. Its version of Time Warp is much better and Sweet Transvestite is better too. With other tracks like Science Fiction and Touch A Touch Me, I prefer the Australian versions from that album.

Anyway when there was another stage tour of it in Australia (1984) mum took us kids to go see it alive on stage. It had Daniel Abineri as Frank N Furter and Stuart Wagstaff as the narrator. It was ace. The ushers were scary. We saw Ross and Pat Wilson walking down Bourke Street on our way to the theatre.

After that I saw the film on TV but admit I was disappointed as it wasn't the same as the stage show which I saw first. Later I saw the film again and enjoyed it more. The mid section feels a bit slow though.

In the 80s, at the stage show, audience members did not dress up in character. I saw it again in 1992 and that did not happen then either. The show is on the stage.

They used to exist side by side, but most of the Asian lions are extinct

I've always thought that the mythological/folklore concept of changelings fit the onset of more intense expressions of autism.

> The birth of Jesus occurs in winter against the actual text of the Bible but perfectly in line with various pagan winter festivals, with a huge amount of how we celebrate Christmas cribbed from Teutonic and Norse traditions.

Pls do tell what Christmas traditions are "cribbed from Teutonic and Norse traditions", because as a "Norse", all our Christmas traditions are post-Chrsitianisation, even post 17th-century.

That is not an uncommon phenomenon.

Insert name of author here... 🤣 https://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/05/entitlement-issues.html

Such a young man; died on his 17th birthday.

for sure

GRRM is STILL not your bitch. 🤣 https://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/05/entitlement-issues.html

That dude must have rubbed his dick raw between writing sessions

now it's super sticky.

And I can find no evidence that movie mogul Louis B. Mayer originated the telegram meme "Fuck you. Strong letter to follow."

Here I am sitting naked on REDDIT. We are not the same………

A Baaaaad day.
