Hear me out....

I'd rim Killer Croc. I'm serious. I would. Also thinking about it with specifically Arkham Knight Croc. Yes it is because of his tail THAT CAN KNOCK A FULL GROWN MAN BACK A FEW FEET. If his tail isn't swishing around, fucking up my hair, while I stick my tongue in his asshole, then WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT!!!

HEY ANON i am hearing you out, in fact i am literally coming to give you a mic and a little stool to step on and i am shushing everyone really violently so they all listen to you, you are SO RIGHT you are so right and correct

i want to run the risk of being knocked the fuck onconscious while i shine those booty scales for him u-u

If Chance allowed his internal self to show, he'd be rolling his eyes like a man possessed about now. All of those little irritations bubbling under the other guys skin subtly making themselves known as likely onconscious reactions. The flared nostrils, the folded arms. The posturing.

As though Chance posed some kind of threat? What?

Chance ignores the comment about them arriving on the Island at the same time. Pointless and wasteful and not worth the mental effort of a reply, considering he'd literally just told the guy. There's no reason to validate him. In fact - not validating him might just feed into whatever little insecurities have got the guy all riled up in the first place. Hmm... As he steps closer, Chance half wishes that he had a little pin on him. Seeing the throbbing vein on the others forehead. It would be nice to stick something in it to see if his whole head exploded. Either way, he might just have to loiter a little more and the other guy would give himself an aneurism or cardiac arrest. All tense and pent up.

"That's two for two fella. You're on a roll, keep it up."

Chance gives a quick wink, that bright, wide smile ever present and does 'finger guns' at the other as he asks whether Chance is a friend of Selins. A little reward - cookie for the clever boy. He does however get the vibe that if this dude had a fly swatter, he'd be batting Chance about the head with it. Like trying to shoo away an annoyance (which Chance was more than happy to be). Definitely threatened by something...

"Yeah, good friends. we met on the first day here. She's such a sweetheart."

He oozes the compliment with a syrupy sweetness of his own. Looking to see if another vein made itself known. Probing at the spot he suspects might get another of those involuntary reactions. Like the guy was some kind of personal bodyguard. A bouncer outside the doors of an exclusive nightclub - if your name isn't on the list, you're not coming in.

"Already trying to help other people in the middle of all that chaos. So kind and giving..."

So they're there, face to face. And the guy is making no attempt to follow through with the invitation to see Selin together. Maybe it's time to up the ante a little.

"So, uh... You need to turn around and knock. That's usually how this stuff works."

He offers with another flash of a grin (admittedly more teeth than smile). However, he does let his espression fall into one that looks curiously questioning. Cautious. Maybe even suspicious.

"Are... You a friend of Selin?"

A tilt of his head, mocking doubt.

"Because, y'know... Lurking outside someones hut... That's a little creepy my man."

Though Lokni had run into what felt like a myriad of different people at this point, he still found himself a little taken aback at how wildly different they all were. This stranger was no exception. There was a volatile air to him that Lokni couldn't quite track. Judging by the short, clipped replies of this newcomer, Lokni got the feeling that he wasn't there to make friends. Then again, try as Lokni may, he couldn't get a read on this striking individual. He carried himself in a relaxed way, yet, behind his green eyes there lurked an intensity that Lokni found intimidating. In his youth, he had done what he could to avoid these sorts of strangers, but he felt that he couldn't balk away from this one. And what did he want with Selin? Lokni's thoughts couldn't help but flit to her, and whatever connection that she might have with this stranger. Unease pooled within his chest, like a viscous liquid in the lungs. "Seems most of us were brought here around the same time," Lokni replied, trying to ease the strange tension that hung in the air like a snare- waiting to see whose neck would get caught in its constricting grasp first. Common sense told Lokni to hold his tongue, but it couldn't stop him from flaring his nostrils a bit in irritation. Deep down Lokni knew that he was ill-equipped for encounters like this one. Sensing that he was already at a disadvantage, Lokni opted for honesty. "At least I'm correct about something," he joked dryly, too few of the pieces of information that he had gathered had been able to be linked together, let alone collated into categories of similarity. "This island is all questions with few answers," Lokni added, meeting the newcomer's gaze with a steadfast intent that he hadn't realized that he had within himself. The stranger approached the door, unperturbed by Lokni's steadfast presence. Irritation welled within Lokni in the form of a thick vein bulging prominently from his forehead. This guy was stubborn. Not even Lokni himself could quite understand why he was so worked up. Lokni was about to leave, but then the newcomer goaded Lokni, as if to bait him. "You here to see Selin?" followed by the suggestion to go see her together. Ah- the realization hit Lokni like a strong headwind, numbing the skin and dulling the senses. He didn't like Selin's involvement with this guy- but who was he to stop her from seeing the people that she wanted to? Even so, Selin's pretty name uttered from this guy's lips incited an unsightly sensation that began to writhe and thrash within the pits of Lokni's stomach. "You a friend of Selin's?" Lokni asked pointedly, dodging the former questions while crossing his arms and remaining stubbornly in front of the bungalow's door like a bull that refused to be trailered. He was digging his heels in, as well as gritting his teeth all the while. Though he couldn't make heads or tails of it himself, Lokni knew that he wasn't about to back down here.

I got interested in Impulse Control mostly because I got interested in what makes us human. And I became sort of obsessed with understanding the functions of the prefrontal cortex, which I felt was part of our brain that made us distinctly human. And a large part of the function of that part of the brain has to do with impulse control, emotional regulation... and I think the very simple fact that we have this capacity for impulse control and emotion regulation has allowed us to build civilizations, and technology, and buildings, and societies. So, I think that impulse control is a key component in what it means for us to be human and what differentiates us from other primates. 🧠☯︎

T he brain is not an input-output machine. You are not an input-output machine. You are not a computer mirroring the outside world. Your brain is designed to respond to your mind. You are intrinsically and brilliantly designed in the sense that your brain carries out the will of the spirit and the soul. Internal activity in your mind is where everything begins, “for as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Prov. 23:7).N onconscious Metacognitive Level The nonconscious metacognitive level is on the far left.

It is where 90 to 99 percent of the action in your mind is;

your thinking and thought-building happen on this level.

This level operates at about four hundred billion actions per second and drives the conscious cognitive level. It operates twenty-four hours a day.

Conscious Cognitive Level The conscious cognitive level, in the middle, is where up to 10 percent of mind action is. It operates at about two thousand actions per second, so it is much slower and is controlled by the metacognitive level. The cognitive level in turn drives the symbolic output level (end section), which is what you say and do—what the world sees, the output of your thinking. This level operates when we are awake.

Symbolic Action Level The symbolic output level incorporates the five senses through which you express yourself and experience the world, serving as the contact between the external world and the internal world of your mind. Therefore, this model works in reverse as well, forming a perfect circle. So information comes through the five senses, is received consciously by the conscious cognitive level, and then passes into the nonconscious metacognitive level where— if you have paid attention and started thinking and choosing—it becomes a physical thought as a result of genetic expression (the making of proteins). This newly built physical thought will, in turn, impact your conscious cognitive and symbolic levels—and so the cycle goes on.👏Dr Leaf🍃

idk i liked this bit as showing a contrast between superman and wonder woman’s philosophies...

id under cut

[image: 3 comic panels from action comics 761. they take place in a battlefield in another dimension. there’s some blood splattered on the walls and an onconscious thore behind superman (clark kent) and wonder woman. in the foreground is the spindly legs of some kind of monster

DIANA: ... against a simple ancient evil. the broken husk behind me would have been called a vrgismyth were it still breathing -- a demon from the deepest circles of hades, wickedness incarnate --

CLARK: ‘were it still breathing’? Diana... you killed it?

DIANA: Of course. Whwat was I supposed to do to it?

CLARK: ...

THOR: Be not dumbfounded, squiree... *kaff* t’was your mistress’s blood duty to slay the beast... the vgrtsmyth be mortal enemies to all things rightheous .. and beloved valhalla is *koff* crawling with them. cast from midgard, they settled here, and blood has rained e’er since. that’s why I summoned you... the gods of asgard require succor- -

CLARK (to diana still): I don't undesrtand... can't you negotiate or settle this peacefully?

THOR: Ha! Forget the ways of they home, squire! The politics of mortals have no place among gods...
