It's the most news-worthy country at the moment. The only superpower in the world is turning further and further into fascism and falling in power while still exerting its power on the world as China is rising. Yeah Israel is doing awful things but it's doing it without repercussions, because the US is backing them and using its power to keep anyone from stopping it. All the biggest stories at least tangentially go back to the US right now. I'm sorry you don't like it. Neither do I, but I assume you at least don't live here from this post. Lucky you.
Edit: didn't realize this was leopardsatemyface, thought it was news but the point remains the same. Leopards are eating faces here far more than anywhere else. Let it be a lesson to all right wing people in Europe that nationalism is not good for a country. Especially not for the common people in the right wing.
Yeah I've occasionally been tempted to check out the dark web for things like drugs from stuff like silk road, like mushrooms and DMT type stuff, nothing crazy. But thats opening a door to a world much more dangerous than mushrooms and shit. And I know myself, I'm naturally curious, and I know for certain I'd find things I'd wish I hadn't. Beyond that, I'm not computer savvy enough to to get there without being looked into by the gov more than I'd like, or obliterating my computer, or losing bank accounts or something. It's just a door I'll keep closed.
I actually like the terrifier movies because it's SO FAR over the line that it becomes almost cartoonish, kinda like the gore from the boys or Mortal Kombat. But generally my flavor of horror is more psychological than gross. Weapons was really good.
Had a friend with an extreme peanut allergy, and she couldn't even enter places that MIGHT have them. Chinese restaurants, steakhouses (back then every steakhouse had buckets of em and people would discard shells on the floor) baseball games, it's not always about going so far as eating it, sometimes just having the particles in the air is enough. Imagine it like scrolling reddit back in the day for memes and coming across r/spacedicks.
You're right on point, though I gotta say your example of "hucking a tarantula at someone with arachnophobia" had me laughing harder than I have in a long time. Don't mind me though, I'm just really fucked up In the head from all the times I've seen horrible shit unexpectedly. I'm what happens when you don't have some kind of guidelines.
I grew up in the 90's. The wild West of the Internet. I've accidentally seen things so beyond fucked up. I had a friend back then that I've lost contact with and she used to email me fucked up images that just opening the email, there it was. But she'd also send high quality jokes or nudes of herself so it was kinda all or nothing. I think at that time my email was @rammstein.com lol. But were talking fatal crash pictures, one was a woman fucking a cactus, stuff seared into my memory that I wish I could get rid of. So yeah, if you think trigger warnings are excessive, you are probably too young to have experienced the 90's and early 00's. Even going to picture sites like imgur today, back then nothing was categorized so you'd get everything. Nsfw sites back then included EVERYTHING nsfw, from people smoking pot to stills of decapitations.
The traumatizing shit I saw on the Internet in those days, I'd compare to my experience in Iraq. That's not to say that visual imagery is as bad as IRL, with the sights, sounds... And smells, but when you're not expecting that sort of thing, it can be a big deal. Honestly those things probably jaded me to a point where I could more adequately handle war, but in ANY other scenario I'd say those days of no rules Internet were very harmful to a lot of people.
Thank you. Yeah, legislation like that can be easily be stopped. Proof: Trump's already done it, i.e. the inflation reduction act. Just undo it and call it what it is, an unjust act on the citizens, by an illegitimate administration.
Bill burr? I would think jon Stewart before Bill burr. But neither would want it.
