Here’s a “Scary Fact”. According to the DNA Project: 614 people have been exonerated based on DNA testing in the U.S. (and I’m assuming that’s only the lucky/unlucky bastards that qualified). 38 people have been exonerated from death row. Though all 50 states have post-conviction DNA laws, many of these laws are so restrictive or limited in scope that few people can actually access DNA testing after being convicted. Wow! Just fùcking Wow!!

Asperger's is no longer a recognized diagnosis since 2013 (now considered part of the Autism Spectrum) due, in part, to the allegations that the clinic Hans Asperger was working with mùrdered hundreds of neurodivergent children under the Nàzi regime.

A lot of people with Asperger's still use it because saying "autistic" or giving levels or whatever is pretty much lost on a general public that hears "autism" and thinks "rain man", despite Hans Asperger himself being problematic.

Don't make it harder for another.
The Scary Fact has 1.2 million followers and counting, all of whom share a fascination for real-life horror stories. But what exactly drives this interest?
According to Dr. Barna Donovan, the director of the MA in Communications and Public Relations at Saint Peter University, one reason can be traced back to our evolutionary roots, where our ancestors had to keep a lookout for potential danger.
“Keeping an eye out for threats, constantly imagining how deadly threats could strike, kept them alive and allowed them to reproduce,” he told Bored Panda.
“This morbid curiosity, this fascination with everything deadly, was, therefore, passed on to their offspring. Essentially, it was the survival of the ones most curious about the horrific and deadly.”

AIDS has been largely preventable since they figured out what was going on, some time in the early 1980s - although not everywhere provided free needles and syringes for d**g addicts or free condoms for everyone (here in the UK, Thatcher was in power - but one of her ministers did the right thing regarding AIDS despite Maggie's backwards views on gay people). Now, there are drúgs that can stop you catching AIDS. https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/pre-exposure-prophylaxis-prep/about-pre-exposure-prophylaxis-prep/. Meanwhile, malaria continues to be a scourge. The big difference is that malaria mostly affects countries without much spare cash for medical research.

The early AIDS patients suffered because we didn't understand how it was transmitted. We used full precautions when entering their hospital room, no d***s to treat it in the early days. These patients had little interaction with healthcare providers. It took us years to discover how the disease was transmitted, create d***s that lessened the effects of the disease and to realize it was safe to be with AIDS patients and care for them.

So many people have said that this never happened. What kind of sick mind would say "Hey let's pretend that a school was shot up and children and some teachers died." It happened and parents ,family and friends lost loved ones by a man who was able to buy a gun. I'm fine with guns but not AK 47's or like them. If this man had a gun that didn't have rapid bullets shooting then some of these beautiful people could've survived. You can miss when you can just shoot one bullet at a time. Then having to reload. Think of yourself if someone shoots at you would you prefer the rapid fire guns or a 8 shooter? This is just my opinion.

Dr. Donovan also mentioned what psychologists refer to as the “arousal jag.” In a nutshell, it’s the sensation viewers experience when tension and anxiety build up, followed by a resolution. Ultimately, he says it’s about enjoying violence and terror without the actual risk.
Santa Clara University professor and licensed psychologist Dr. Thomas Plante shared a similar statement.
“Many people are counterphobic in that they want to experience, in a safe way, what they most fear to ultimately develop mastery over it. It is a bit like flooding and exposure therapy in a safe and controllable way,” he explained.

Wow! Sometimes there is no strength on numbers, then toy must be strong for yourself.
But why do some people steer clear of any unsettling content? What about them makes them unable to handle it? Trauma-informed clinician Dr. Laura A. Fierro says they may have a more fragile nervous system, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
However, they will still feel the effects even after reading or watching, and may prefer quieter narratives over those with more adrenaline.
“Sometimes that decision, made privately and quietly, connects to earlier abuse, deep empathy for characters in trouble, or even the shared trauma of headlines that refuse to stay in the past,” she said.

I got the simplest cheapest pine coffin for my mother for exactly this reason. I don't think the funeral place ever had anybody asking about the ecological impact of coffins before, but it was important to mom (hence no big marble headstone either) and it turns out that most of their quite pretty looking coffins were...not going to degrade nicely. I think they even swapped the (brass?) screws for iron ones because they would degrade more rapidly.

I live at the coast. This happens frequently, because people think the beach is the same as an indoor tropical swimming paradise. They don't read the information boards when entering the beach, and ignore swimming zones and warnings. Usually the layman rescuer, jumping in after those dragged out, dies, the other ones are saved because somebody called the professional rescuers. Each year 10 people die. You know nothing about the ocean and want to live? No floaties, no swimming in the dark, no sunset insta-photos in the water, stay within the dedicated swimming zone, stay far away from the zone without waves (this is where the water flows back) and follow all instructions of the beach guard.

However, licensed professional counselor Katie Lear believes otherwise. According to her, children, most especially, may be subjected to trauma, especially if the story glorifies a violent individual rather than merely telling a story.
“It is possible to experience something called vicarious trauma (absorbing another person’s distressing experience) from viewing violent or disturbing things happening to others, even on a screen.”

Living in the state with the highest alcohol-related death rate and DUI arrests, this is an important story. I also worked as a grant manager for county DWI prevention grants. During a site visit I attended a victim impact panel, required of DWI offenders. There was a video shown where parents talked about losing their state trooper son in a head on collision with a drunk driver. The car caught fire and his fellow officers couldn't rescue him due to the ammunition in the trunk popping off. They had to watch him burn to death. I got a tissue out of my bag and the guy next to me put his hand out for one. I still cry when I think about it. When you hear the impact from victims it is life changing.

You should read her book, "I Have Life". It happened near Pietermaritzburg, a city in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. She just kept on thinking she was okay - like, "I'll remember these men's faces because I'm going to testify against them." Her intestines spilling out, she got up, holding them in with one hand. Oops, she could only see the sky. "Oh, I've had my throat cut, but I need to see where I'm going." Took her other hand, grabbed her hair, and held her head so she could see where she was going. Staggered into the main road and collapsed, where she was found by a passing motorist. Doctors at the hospital rinsed her intestines, put them back, sewed up her throat wound, etc. and she made a fantastic recovery. Read her book - it's amazing.

Why not: here is a man suddenly and tragically thrust into a role he never seriously expected to be in (JFK was young and healthy and fully expected to live out his term) getting an encouraging wink and smile from an old friend in response to his own nervous smile as the realisation of just what he's about to take on starts to sink in. I daresay that I gave similar encouragement to my youngest brother as he stepped up to deliver the eulogy at his six-year-old daughter's funeral. Does anybody want to suggest that that implies we were involved in her dying? Or was it simple human compassion; a small gesture to reassure the other?

Book about this called The Texas Connection--at the time, it was one of the very few self-published books to crack the NYT Bestseller list (either 1991 or 92, can't remember). A lot of people thought the author was c*****d, but the more time has gone on, the more of what he wrote has been substantiated. Not all of it by any means, but enough to make ya think.

Morbid obesity runs in my (adoptive) family, so I'm very familiar with obesity - 200lbs for a man is NOT "fat" unless he is very short. * caveat - of course each person is different and fat deposits differently on all of us, and being overweight doesn't mean you're automatically obese or super-unhealthy, and the BMI system IS being questioned - and the taller you are, the heavier you will be, due to having literally more bone and muscle - but no, the tl;dr is that for the average male, 200lbs isn't "horrible".

The image features Sampson, a Shire horse born in 1846 near Bedfordshire, England, who holds the record as the largest horse ever recorded. Size and Weight: At his peak, Sampson (also known as Mammoth) reached an astonishing height of 21.2½ hands (approximately 7 feet, 2.5 inches or 220 cm) and weighed a staggering 3,360 pounds (1,524 kg).

That image doesn't feature Sampson - at least not as I type this comment. 7'3" tall? How tall you do think those men are? 2'6"? The image I'm seeing now is an obvious AI fake. Hopefully, BP will replace it with a real photo.

Here's a photo of a woman with Cricket Cracker, a Shire horse who was 19.2hh. He was a contender for the World's Tallest Horse certification from Guinness Records, but lost by a finger-width to a Percheron named Goliath. Unless your grandad was feeding his Shire horses uranium, the horse in the above image isn't real. Even record-holding draft horses aren't that tall. cricket_19...a8-png.jpg

Currently #79 Donetsk is a city in eastern UKRAINE. It lies 50 km west of the border with ruSSia and 100 km north of the Sea of Azov. It is the centre of the self-governing Donetsk Oblast and the entire industrial region called Donbas, UKRAINE!!! Be so kind as to not use the word "facts" in your project when you blatantly ignore them!

Some of these weren't all that scary (although some were terrifying) and several weren't facts.

I couldn’t finish. I woke up this morning, and the first thing I thought was about the people, and especially children, being detained in America. And then I scroll down to comments. Someone posts a pic of their cat, and for so many people, all is right with the world again 😭💔
