99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion.
6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster.
Wake up.
I just watched the #FunnyAF with @KevinHart4real watching the Chicago show and seeing the talent we had to offer was so disappointing. 😪 I know we have talent. Why did we have everyone but Chicagoans. And the funny ones were FROM CHICAGO. Let me finish this episode
“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK
LIKE THIS”
-Tucker Carlson to Donald Trump
One of the most prominent right-wing voices has broken away from Trump, directly criticising him.
The invisible Glass experiment
Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium.
On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely.
When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack.
Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back.
Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way.
The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank.
After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth.
But the pike never tried to eat them again.
Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there.
A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome.
It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.
