Preach! This is my attitude towards my abusers, who said they want me in Heaven with them. I don't want to be there if they're going to be there.
Weasel Wise 1 year ago (edited)
THIS WAS MY EXACT THOUGHT AS A CHILD!!! Forced to go to church multiple times a week, we, like many "Christians" would hear about how all non-believers are gonna burn forever and we would all have a cushy afterlife together in heaven. I was 6yo. 6yo, and I could look around me and say to myself, "These people are awful enough having to be around them when I'm alive. I'd rather go to hell than spend my current life and my afterlife surrounded by these mean, hypocritical people." I'm by NO means a genius, but how was I, at 6yo, able to have more basic insight and common sense than an entire building full of adults?!?!

Juliane Koepcke is a badass! She got a concussion, a broken collar bone, a swollen knee and deep wounds that got infested yet she just kept on walking for 10 days. At times she swam with alligators, but she grew up in the rainforest so she knew that they weren't gonna eat her. At one point she heard heavy birds landing in the distance, which she correctly identified as coming from vultures, when she got there she saw a row of seats from the same airplane she was in. The seats were upside down and the victims in them had their heads buried into the ground. While those people weren't so lucky, Juliane was actually not the only one to survive the fall itself - but she was the only one to come out of the rainforest alive in the end.

Is that a record for longest time to complete a marathon? It sounds like a record
The BBC explains that things like dolls, mannequins, and clowns are things that many people find to be extremely creepy. These are things that are meant to be innocent, however, our brains interpret them as potentially dangerous. They’re meant to be humanlike, but they fall short.
In short, we’re bombarded with mixed messages about what’s actually safe or not. For instance, a clown is meant to symbolize happiness and humor, but in popular media, they’re often portrayed as malevolent beings.

We had a similar case in my country. A disfigured after an accident man was living in a small town. He was the target of bullying or mockery by some local rednecks. But one night he snapped and started throwing stones at them. These SOBs called the cops on him. However witnesses and cameras proved who was the culprit. His story became known and someone gave a job to him, while a surgeon offered to give him as new face.

When my father was dying of cancer, the doctor had him pretty doped up for the pain. During this time, his estranged sister died unexpectedly. We didn't tell my dad because he was so out of it, we didn't think he would hear. The next day, my dad suddenly woke up and shouted his dead sister's name and said, "I'll be right there". He died the next morning.

How do you know it's fake? I'm not saying it is true, but I am wondering why you think it is fake. I had something similar happen to me when I was 10. I dreamt my grandpa was sitting on the edge of my bed, which was weird because he lived 5 states away and we were not close. When I woke up, (I was a late sleeper and it was summer) my mom told me he had passed away the night before. He didn't tell me he was dead in the dream or anything but it was the only time I've ever dreamt of him.

People react to scary, stressful, and threatening situations very differently. The two most widely known responses are fight or flight, i.e. squaring up to fight off a threat or running away from it (like Shaggy and Scooby-Doo often do). However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Research shows that there are two other main responses to these sorts of situations. Namely, the freeze and fawn responses.

Not so much a punishment for 'gossip' as for being outspoken, opinionated, talking back to men. Other comments note that some so-called torture devices were horror stories manufactured after the fact to shock later generations, but the scold's bridle has never been in dispute. It's well established as having been pretty common punishment, and one that was meted out only by men and only to women.

A lot of so called medieval torture devices were faked in the Victorian era to tittilate the palates and shock the morally upstanding. Things like the Iron Maiden and the Chastity Belt were not in regular use.
Limey 1 year ago
Regardless, there were many punishments for woman specifically to address behavior considered ‘unseemly”, including committing them to asylums just for being “difficult”. “Difficult” or “unseemly” included speaking out of turn or “lecturing” one’s husband. It has only been very recently that women (and only in some countries) have overcome these restrictions. And look what is happening. A lot of men are having a FIT about it and saying THEY are being repressed. They aren’t, they just aren’t getting their own way 100% of the time any more. The rise of the Taliban and other misogynistic groups in hyper religious countries, incels in western societies and “project” 2025” here in the states are the result of this.

In first grade, the teacher made students who talked too much in class wear big lips cut out of paper and colored like red lips for any MOTORMOUTH. There was also a paper tail (like a horse's tail) for those who were TATTLERS. And the kicker was the DUNCE cap! It was big, white, and pointy and its purpose is self-explanatory.

WebMD points out that some of the signs that someone’s fight response has kicked in, in response to stress, include feelings of intense anger, a tight jaw, grinding teeth, and a huge urge to punch or kick someone or something.

When I was adopted I came with a cloth clown doll. It was repairable after being well loved but my adoptive mother took it, threw it out when I was in my late 20s but I managed to find a new one via eBay when I was in hospital. Smaller but the same one. What I'm trying to say is that you can buy replacement ones... Especially if they hold special memories for you. They probably did buy a replacement one, just to remember...

It is not an active theme park. It’s open a select number of days per year for festivals and I believe you can rent it out as mentioned above. I grew up just a couple of miles from there and went several times as a child. My parents have lived near there for over 50 years until recently being displaced by Hurricane Helene, and the park hasn’t been regularly active in decades.

"Historical records" about as useful as the statement "studies show that..."
Ash 1 year ago
Two writers, Ralph of Coggeshall (died c. 1226) and William of Newburgh (c. 1136–1198), reported on the sudden and unexplained arrival in the village of two green children during one summer in the 12th century. Ralph was the abbot of Cistercian Coggeshall Abbey at Coggeshall, about 26 miles (42 km) south of Woolpit. William was a canon at the Augustinian Newburgh Priory, far to the north in Yorkshire. William states that the account given in his Historian rerum Anglicarum (c. 1189) is based on "reports from a number of trustworthy sources"; Ralph, writing his Chronicum Anglicanum in the 1220s, drew on the account of Sir Richard de Calne of Wykes,[note 1] who supposedly sheltered the children in his manor house, six miles (10 km) north of Woolpit.[4] the Wikipedia article on the Green Children of Woolpit has an entire section that discusses whether the sources are accurate or not and why. But there absolutely ARE historical records. It's just not as short and punchy to name them.

Not everyone responds this way to threats, though. Some individuals instinctively choose not to fight or run away. Instead, they might completely freeze up or start fawning.
Someone whose freeze response is kicking in tends to have pale skin, feels stiff, heavy, cold, or numb, feels their heart pounding rapidly, and has an overwhelming sense of dread.

Lamictal gave me audio and visual hallucinations. Both open eyed and closed eyed hallucinations. Quite irritating. I knew that they weren't real, but it's super distracting when you see a pile of clothes on a chair and it looks like a monster. Then, when you realize it's just a pile of clothes, it still looks like a monster. The children running around in puffy jackets in the summer were weird too. The constant cocktail parties next door at all hours. Hallucinations aren't that bad as long as you know they aren't real. It's just super irritating. Yes, I stopped taking those meds as I was misdiagnosed in the first place.

Because it can take a long time for certain medications to exit your system without medical assistance such as the "antidote" being administered in hospital, usually by IV. Tramadol sent me loopy. Hate that painkiller. If you've been taking a medication for a long time it can build up in your system. Always seek medical advice, assistance or go to hospital if you suspect it's happening to you. Definitely if you're hallucinating or you might be in a delusional state but you are able recognise that you are. Even if you can't? Phone for an ambulance if its getting bad, scary. Better safe than sorry. There could be other underlying causes other than medications.

Y'know, BP, some of the people who write to you might be making things up.
In short, all the stress and fear completely paralyzes the person. You might have felt something similar to a freeze response if you were ever spooked in a dark place or felt completely overwhelmed by a school or work presentation you had to give in front of a crowd of people.
In some situations, running away is impossible and there’s nothing concrete to fight off.

Meanwhile, the fawn response is a very social instinctive strategy for dealing with real, potential, or imagined threats. The long and short of it is that the individual uses their verbal skills to align themselves with the source of the threat.
This might include agreeing with everything the threat says or trying to be overly helpful, to avoid possible negative consequences. It means giving up your authenticity and morals and becoming extremely flexible for the sake of survival.

You aren't buried alive, I'm sad to say. You just think you're alive. When you separate from your body, you'll understand why you see why the sound is coming from beneath you.

I have thought for a long time that mirror travel (travel between mirrors) would be an awesome plot point in a book. Humans can't travel this way because our reflection stops us from entering. Vampires on the other hand can...

Don't like this one... Yes, my heart stopped twice and I was technically, legally dead. Had my heart restarted via the paddles. I don't really remember anything but do remember enough from that time after. Some people report things like this but it's... I believe them to an extent but your brain does all sorts of wonky things when you've been through something like that. A nurse explained it as lack of oxygen, being in an extreme situation, trauma. But mainly the lack of oxygen.

1. No, that's not the opening to scream 2. scream was in the 90s, we're not talking ancient folklore 3) it's the plot of a "when a stranger calls", a movie decades older
