A sense of humor differs from person to person. Some like cringe humor, others enjoy sarcastic wit, and some are quite old-school in their taste, chuckling at the jokes from the funnies section. And then, there are those who have darker tastes. They find humor in things that others would deem unacceptable and inappropriate.
It's the dark humor-loving folks. And, oftentimes, these are folks from a certain subculture. Like the creators of this meme page, possibly, at least judging from the title they decided to choose. Truly, who else if not metalheads would be inspired by a metal band and name their meme page "I See My Demons Staring At Memes?"

Or, as in Europe, you would not have to take out a loan to pay for your studies.
In my European country, you can even do a forward deduction of the remaining student expenses and deduct them from the salary you get after completing study.

For those who are not that well-acquainted with metal bands, the title alludes to a song from American band Chelsea Grin, "Hostage." The creators of the FB page borrowed the first line of the song, which goes: "I see my demons staring at me now."
I'll admit, Pandas, I'm no expert on being a metalhead, goth, or even an emo kid. The closest I got to belonging to a subculture was listening to Papa Roach and wearing knock-off Chuck Taylors in eighth grade. So, to know more about the "scary" subcultures, I reached out to an expert on the heavy metal culture, Keith Kahn-Harris.

I mean... let's say I have a choice between two sets of shoes, they look more or less the same. One pair is of lesser quality, but will function well for at least a year. Other is of high quality and will serve for about 5 years, but cost 10 times more. Logically, I will take the cheaper ones and buy new ones each year. By the price of that one pricy pair, I have 10 years worth of cheaper ones. I do feel sorry for the workers, but I need to save up money where I can as well.

Even government jobs are not exempt. I had to quit my job as a police dispatcher many years ago due to the city playing political games with our paychecks. The city still have never paid me the $1500 in back pay they owe me!
In Europe these jobs are public, and salaries and working conditions are determined by regional or national governments. No billonaires
When a business owner says no one wants to work anymore I ask what they're paying their employees. Then I tell em they're half right --no one wants to work for THEM lol
Very good. Let's all go home and leave these useless jobs to anybody who cares, perhaps the migrants would do these dirty jobs. We can stay home and watch the TV. This would also made the dirty two dozen beg for alms in the street. We saw it in the China offshoring, right?

Load More Replies...There's still a stereotype that persists to some degree that metalheads, goths, punks, and other similar alternative subcultures are all angry, scary individuals. They're either always serious or only like humor that's related to grim and sinister things.
But sociologist, music critic, and writer Keith Kahn-Harris says it's quite the opposite. As an academic who's spent his career exploring music scenes and heavy metal music, he's aware of the stereotypes people often put on certain subcultures. "Metal is often understood by its detractors to be humourless," he points out.
Soooo, how does this happen without 'trading hours of their life' without working? You want an iPhone and tattoos - the people that make those had to work for you to have them - should they give you those for 'free'. It's your decision to work for things - you could go live in the woods and eat bark like a squirrel if you want to be free from the 'burdens' of life. BTW: the same laws of economics works for food, shelter, medicine, etc ...... NOTHING is free - it all costs somebody and they cannot provide you with what you want without reciprocation. I repeat - NOTHING is free
Great idea. Too bad it doesn't work: never has and never will. Who, exactly, is going to provide those necessities free?

"In reality, while excessive seriousness isn't unknown, one of metal's best-kept secrets is that humour is an important part of metal culture," he tells Bored Panda. "It kind of counter-balances the darkness of metal and helps metal scenes maintain equilibrium. Even when metal artists and fans might seem to be po-faced, they are often highly aware of the ludicrous aspects of metal aesthetics and embrace them nonetheless."

I live in the Mormon capitol of the world (I think you can figure it out from there) and I was forced to move here about a year ago and oh my goddddd everywhere you go, it's Mormon, almost everyone you meet is Mormon and the other day I heard a mormon guy talking about how great it is to "have a community where people can express their religion freely" yeah, dumbass, if you're the same religion as everyone else here! if I tried to publicly express a belief that was anything else, I would get rebuked before I could finish my sentence

This is how the Satanist group was able to get the Ten Commandments statue removed from the Oklahoma State Capitol building. They had their statue they said should be put up because one religion cannot be favored over others in the government. Ten Commandments were taken down immediately.
I'm in the United States dealing with this garbage and we are a family of atheists. If they teach this c**p at schools, they better have an option for kids to opt out too. Freedom of religion should include freedom from religion. We've got a few power hungry loud mouths, who want to impose their ways on everyone, and there's no way it's going to work. Leave religion out of school, the way it was intended. We don't even have to worry about any of this bc Harris is going to win the election and Trump will go away.
I don't have kids but i totally agree with you. Religion should not be in schools. Ppl have their own beliefs. School is for education for future life stuff. The parents need to teach their kids Religion if they want them to know it. And like u said, ppl should be able to opt out - freedom of religion should be freedom FROM religion. I grew up extremely religious so i know personally wanting to be free from it.

"Humour is usually a key part of maintaining communities and scenes," he says. "It helps to bond people together, particularly when 'outsiders' don't see the 'joke.' As I say, humour is one of metal's best-kept secrets, and sharing in the secret can be a powerful thing."

Also, who says metal music can't be funny? I have to tell y'all, I ended up falling into quite a rabbit hole when Kahn-Harris mentioned pirate metal. Bands like Alestorm and Rumahoy prove that metal bands don't take themselves too seriously but are still professionals at their craft. I can almost see the crew of the Black Pearl headbanging to "Give all your beer and your rum to me."
Satanist's don't believe in Satan or god. It's a metaphor for embracing oneself in all ways that don't hurt anyone else. It is indeed, about learning to love oneself, and accept your desires, needs, strengths etc without some sort of leadership (such as religion) determining your value or behavior over your own convictions. Essentially, like the serpent in the garden, it's about liberating oneself from the confines and bliss of ignorance, acquiring knowledge of the gods, and opening one's eyes ro reality. So long as you are not harming anyone, Pretty easy and obviously more accepting, safer and more fun way approach life than many alternatives.

Load More Replies...Other metal genres, even if not so overtly humorous, can be funny too. Kahn-Harris gives us one particular example. "Power metal, while it might seem overly serious, is often highly knowing in its use of the ridiculous."

Are there any captains around who'd like to explain this whole »woman and bear« issue (to me)? 🤔 🐻 🤷🏽
Women where asked the question whether they'd rather encounter a bear or a man alone after dark on the street. Majority of women apparently chose the bear
Load More Replies...Most, and I mean about 89%, women prefer to meet a wild bear in the forest rather than an unknown man on the streets of a city. The reason is that a bear would at most just kill you, but a man could rape you, assault you, stalk you, murder you, and blame you for it, and get away with it.
The original question wasn't even about "meeting" man or bear. It was "would you feel safer alone in the woods knowing there was a man somewhere out there, or a bear". "picking the bear" isn't even because you want to be killed by a bear. It's because the bear will just walk away and you would never even know it was there!
Load More Replies...It's not so much that bears are safer, rather, it's that if you knew that each one were going to kill you you'd choose the bear because it would kill you and then possibly eat you once you were dead - but the man could/would torture you FIRST simply because you were a woman "ready for the taking" in their eyes. Each way, you end up dead. The bear doesn't degrade your humanity, it's simply a hungry animal. A man IS more likely to dehumanise and degrade a woman for his own gratification and then leave her to survive or die of the holocaust of her body without a second thought, not even the decency to end the suffering.
So... was this meme created by some incel, in response to the fact that women chose random wild bear encounters alone over random men encounters alone?
idk, that bear is lookin pretty snuggly for that. Seems more like points for the bear having been the better choice xD
Load More Replies...word to the wise, don't do this, its actally a crime to interfere with certain bears and your messing up their hunting abilities and survival abilities when you feed and pet them, if you see a wild bear don't go for a social media selfie call your local zoo or animal control so they can safely relocate the animal, also if you see a baby bear don't go near it the mother is Always nearby and will maul you, if the cub is aandoned don't approach and call your local wildlife center ie; zoo, vetrinary hospital, or if you have on nearby a wildlife sanctuary

And what about other subcultures? The goths, for example, do they only laugh at things that are related to the underworld and the afterlife? The very aptly named What Is Goth? clarifies that goths have a sense of humor and love to laugh. "Goths love to laugh but their humour is more of the black comedy sort. They aren't sad because they like dark things -- dark things make them happy and inspire them."

Actually, science (yes, I said it) shows that when you get a good night's sleep, no matter the length of time, you will likely feel more tired than before.

You coming from a Protestant majority country probably have a lot of misunderstandings about Catholicism, and to be fair I no longer have skin in the game because I lost all my religion about a decade ago, but I spent quite a long time learning Catholic theology and graduated from a super progressive Catholic single gender high school, so I kinda felt like dispelling some misconceptions people might have about the faith and its adherents.

I have the perfect job. Overnights folding linens and towels and paid a reasonable amount. Very occasional interaction with a guest, but mostly, I'm entirely by myself. As long as the folding gets done and I don't leave, they don't care what I do during my shift, so I binge watch movies/tv (last night was the original SW trilogy in honor of James Earl Jones) and doing homework.
My new t-shirt says "I don't want to, I don't have to, you can't make me, I'm retired!"
I had this empty whiskey bottle I decided to use as a water bottle. One day just for the hell of it I added some food colouring to turn it a nice amber colour. Then I took it with me to class and chugged from it while giving a presentation on The Sorrows Of Young Werther.
I used to use a Bombay Sapphire bottle for water at work, cos it's pretty. At Christmas I brought in a bottle of tonic, a lemon, and a cut crystal glass....

During communism, they built huge houses, an entire new city, with pretty good flats. After "revolution", they said these flats were ugly and that they would build better. Spoiler alert: I can count new panel houses built in my country on my hands and those old ones built by "incompetent communists" are now considered luxurious and cost like 1000 times more than before.
Oooh it’s me! Not sure I’m feral yet though, I’m working on it
So you worship the old gods like Cthulu and Nyarlathotep?

Tbf, you kind of agree to it in the terms and conditions when you "allow access to microphone and camera" ... And pictures and media and contacts.....

I have no clue why you got downvoted - welcome to BP

Limbo for me. God doesn't want me and Satan's afraid I'll take over.
Load More Replies...I really got bummed out when someone told me dogs don't go to heaven because they do not have a soul. Then who would even want to go to heaven if there are no dogs there?
All my tattoos have meaning, and I have a good amount. But, my most recent one is a shark with a party hat, just cuz I happened to be in my tattoo place on a day they were doing flash, and I loved it... 😂
Profound. I will add this to my list of favourite philosophical quotes to live by.
I'm hoping to find a rustic wooden plaque with this quote in gold paint

Just re-listened to Linkin park meteora and rediscovered my love of (old) them again. Turns out I’m just as angsty as my teenage self. Or is this a midlife crisis?
I just learned that every time our brain recovers a memory, it alters that memory a little, So our fondest memories and our worst memories are our greatest delusions. That would explain how when I listen to music from my teens that I used to think was great, it sounds infantile and simplistic at age 70.
Nah. I'll pay taxes on my income. I'll help fund social security, and Medicare, and schools, and public libraries, and, and, and. The percentage of my pay going to help my community isn't the issue. It's the higher ups making 1000's of times more than their workers that screws us.
... and paying a lower tax rate than those workers. I wonder who makes the rules?

Tried to read that book, but dnf. Though I usually like fantasy, fiction, sf and so on, but this was a strict "no".

Me too my friend, me too . . . But now I am getting older really fast and am thinking how long will I actually get to enjoy this ink?!?!
All the more reason to get them! Life’s too short, rock the tats you want. Someone told me when you die you don’t take money with you, but you still have your tats. I guess even if cremated in a sense.

At least be nice and put a note with the 3 magical words down beforehand though

As long as they don't make you look stupid while you're doing it. (Quora questioners are REAL good at this.)
I did this on City-Data and upset an ignorant mod as well as ignorant people. Now I am banned for life and couldn't be happier. My job there is done.
OHHH MY GOD I howled at that one. Please God let certain coworkers ever use that line
Load More Replies...15 minutes? amateur. I roll in there an hour and half late. Granted, I do it because it means I can work an hour and a half at the end of my shift when everyone else has vacated, and I can now concentrate, and cost them less overtime so I don't have to hear them bitching about it constantly. I'll still work overtime, but I mitigate it so they don't b***h as much.
Duh, because black goes with everything? 😁 Plus that’s the only colour I wear so..
And why do people wear hoodies when it's f*****g 110 degrees outside!!??
My friend has to, because he was in a motorcycle accident and most of his skin had to be grafted and literally is too sensitive to sunlight.
Load More Replies...Yeah, same with my nephew. I just tell my mother "oh, you know, kids, fashion" because he doesn't want her to know about it and worry.

The new guy, during the interview, kept getting stared at by the boss(ear lobe gauge). He was hired, turns out the guy rocks it. Probably #1 or #2 best worker.
