The act of promising to send back a person's corpse and then switching it out with an unidentified person as an act of psychological torture is something I've only seen from my worst cases as a forensic scientist.
I've seen it from organized crime outfits, typically Russian mob and cartels, and from serial killers. This reminds me more of the latter rather than the former as the outfits tend to behave in a certain manner and abide by various rules. Serial killers, however, often delight in the psychological torture of their victims, victims' family, and community.
There's a number of cases I've been brought in on to help ID corpses that were not who the killer said they were. Causing pain and anguish for the families and community to their delight.
In this instance, making a big show of returning these hostages and then pulling the rug out from underneath Israel and the greater Jewish community only serves one purpose; to cause psychological and emotional harm. And make no mistake, the people justifying Hamas and their actions up until this moment and beyond are acting like every True Crime Serial Killer Girlie that has come up to me in my career to try and justify the actions of people like Dahmer, Gacy, Gein, and so on. "They're just misunderstood." "What did you think they would do? They had a rough life. It's not their fault they did these things." "They're just fighting back against the system that made them this way." All of this is to take the onus of responsibility off of the serial killer, just as all these anti-Israel activists take the onus off of Hamas and its violent terrorism. And just like a True Crime Girlie coming up to me with their binder full of notes about why their serial killer blorbo is good, your opinion that Hamas is somehow justified in their action is worth nothing. You've presented yourself as lacking the moral and ethical stand point that condemns such actions as taking families hostage, promising to return them, and then pulling a "switcheroo" last minute to be cruel. You're not good people, and no amount of mental gymnastics to somehow blame Israel for this will make you a good person. And if somehow you're a fellow Jew? Well, I think you've burned every bridge with the community as of this moment.

I still can’t get over how Chappell and Lady Gaga only talked about trans rights in their Grammy speeches without a single mention of women or the fact that our rights are being erased right now. Trump ordered women’s history removed from NASA and military websites, the CDC deleted critical women’s health data, the FDA erased diversity guidelines that ensured medical treatments were tested on women fairly, and the Department of Defense scrubbed content acknowledging women’s contributions. Yet they act like women are fine as if we’re not being erased in real time. So is it acceptable for women’s struggles to be erased and rights being stripped alongside racism being promoted while trans rights take center stage.

i don't really understand why you would be pro-zoo. like i understand nature reserves and sanctuaries where people can observe from afar, but it doesn't seem right to me when they're locked up in generally small confined areas for people to watch them do nothing all day. idk maybe i'm getting this wrong, and i still really respect you, i just don't understand this. like i interned at a zoo and felt uncomfortable with how small their living areas were and how they had no stimulation
Zoos don’t look like this anymore.

They look like this:





Good zoos do not keep their animals in “tiny spaces” with no enrichment. I’m not pro-roadside zoo. I’m pro-accredited zoo. Zoos are incredibly important for conservation and education.

i absolutely hate modern “romantic” retellings of Persephone’s story especially when they claim to be feminist. there is nothing feminist about looking at a story of a woman who is kidnapped and raped and whose mother moved heaven and earth to get her back and going “well, what if she wanted it? and what if her mother is actually kind of a bitch 🤔” please die

If I had a time machine I would kill the first pope. I would kill the first of the kings. I would save women. I would save my female ancestors who couldn't save themselves. I would kill their husbands and sons and sit by them as they mourned knowing I did it all for the greater good. I would erase myself if it meant my mom could live a happy life. I would kill my grandfather before he ever touched my mom or aunts. I would tell my grandmother to pursue her education and career and live a life free of the damned man. I would stop my aunt from marrying a man thirty years older than her. I would stop my aunts from doing drugs. I would try to prevent an eternal tragedy.

hey i just saw your post critiquing a societal norm. well, i like doing everything that society expects of me and i was actually raised in an empty 8x8 cube for the first 18 years of my life. i am the only person to have ever been raised in a vacuum and i came out with all the behaviors expected of my age, sex, and origin without ever having seen another human being before. so. maybe keep that in mind next time you post, mkay?

Isn’t it funny that men will routinely scream at and belittle people they see as inferior, (ie their children, partners, underlings at work, people in lesser social classes than them) and nobody bats an eye but when a woman displays these same characteristics she is labeled a “Karen”.
Don’t get me wrong, these behaviors are disgusting in any gender, but it seems that these traits are more accepted in men and even praised as “standing up for yourself” or “showing them who’s boss”. Aggression is praised in men and shut down in women.

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it
