not exactly on topic but my whole family used to be big into formula 1, especially my mom and me. once we all watched it together and my grandmother proclaimed that she didn't much like fernando alonso. when we asked why she claimed that he had "crazy eyes" and, without any further explanation, she added quietly "goes berserk like a cudgel". mind you, the word she used could mean "spins around like a cudgel" or "goes crazy like a cudgel". we never learned what she meant by this but it became a quote among us.

this is kind of my favorite genre of image ever. like THIS is what the internet is for

so im trying to decipher this chart on wikipedia that has common vampire weaknesses in it and

a ‘green/yes’ is a weakness, a ‘red/no’ is something that isnt a weakness, and a ‘?’ is something that has never been addressed but fucking riddle me this

in what lore are vampires weak to getting soggy in milk

"Millenials and Gen Z are unable to have relationships because they've all been raised by divorced or single parents !"

So ? And our parents all got divorced because they had to spend their childhood with their undivorced parents.

This is unfortunately not entirely true, there are men who dress like women in order to gain access to gendered spaces. I'm not saying that because I think so but because a terf provided legitimate court cases for this. However, what neither her nor this "social experimenter" seemed to grasp is that 1) such cases are rare and 2) someone who identifies as a man and claims otherwise with the express purpose of causing harm is by definition not a transwoman or nb.

When I'm in a female-only space and see a transwoman or nb person, whether they pass or not, I don't feel afraid or threatened simply because there is no good reason that I should be scared. I just assume they're in the right space.

Assuming that cis women are gullible future victims who are willing to let predatory men in women's clothes into safe spaces actually says more about how these people view men and how extreme they would be. Why are they imagining such tactics as something the average person would do ? Even if I were to be attracted to a gay men my mind would never jump to "let's pretend to be a man !"

Full disclosure I haven't seen Hellraiser 2022.

This was hard...Inferno and Revelations weren't amazing but watchable. I did not much care for Bloodline personally because Hellraiser doesn't really need the lore in my opinion but it visually felt like a Hellraiser. Hellworld wasn't really a Hellraiser to me, it was more like a standard horror with short torture scenes and lacked the motifs of the franchise. While I understand that Hellseeker was disappointing for many with Kirsty's short appearance at least it thematically fit into the original Hellraiser franchise. Deader was just weird, it was as if they had the script for a vaguely xenophobic occult thriller they slapped a Hellraiser twist on at the end.

Ultimately I decided on Judgment though because there wasn't much happening for the longest time, it had little actual storyline, and the appearance of angels was just too much for me. I don't think Judgment is objectively worse than the others, I just absolutely did not like involving angels and gd into the franchise, especially in such a cliche way. Also, this one had the blandest, most unenthusiastic action in my honest opinion.

Given the sudden rush of Hellraiser polls, might I suggest a worst Hellraiser movie poll? Not much point doing a best one but a worst might be entertaining.

I was raised with and always had that "doesn't hurt people, doesn't concern me" attitude and I lived really well with it. In fact I was really surprised and kinda disbelieving when I went online and saw people arguing about shit or claiming that "people are so judgmental about xyz". In which wild world do you live where everyone is so concerned with someone eating at a fast food joint or being open about beimg part of the bdsm community or a professional drag performer ? It sounds exhausting.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I have my prejudices but it costs 0$ to just shrug my shoulders and treat everyone the same. 99 out of 100 times I find my previous gut reactions disproven.

Can't express how stress free being open minded is.

Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.

Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.

Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.

Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.

Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.

I've been so spoiled by tumblrs casual horniness and tmi that I thought those were real and only wondered if they meant the right from the perspective of looking at the hats or the position of the hats. I deadass was ready to accept that men were going hogwild for an earflap hat.

current state of twitter is incredible

It's always "you're depressed and that is ok" until my symptoms are seen as "lazy" or "dramatic" and then it's "get your shit together and get over your depression". Also destigmatized my ass, my mother sent me away to relatives as a teen because she couldn't deal with my depression anymore. The times I have been called a "energy vampire", "parasite", or "egoistical"...

everytime i hear someone call depression and anxiety ‘destigmatized mental illnesses’ i wonder how they react when they find out someone has spent weeks or months in bed or struggles to shower or eat

One of the funniest things in the Changeling route in Patho Classic is that you can raise Clara's reputation in a pinch by shooting people. Giving a child a revolver and watching it go on a rampage while clapping and giggling.

We had a little poem like thing that thought kids the order as well as sun cycle. Obviously it rhymes but it went something like "The east is where the sun rises, in the south he makes his round, the weather is where the he sets, but in the north you will never find him".

i think my saddest moment as an Australian was finding out that the rest of the world doesn’t say “never eat soggy weetbix” to figure out the order of the compass
