being an adult is very very difficult most of the time but it has been astronomically better than being a child. i don’t miss childhood at all. despite everything this is still the most i’ve ever felt like myself!
People keep debating the "humane" way to kill someone. It doesn't exist. Killing someone is, by definition, the opposite of humane. If we're going to have the death penalty, just pick a method that works reliably instead of doing whatever this is.
Why I believe most countries should take inspiration from the Norwegian prison system. Here the main focus is for people to do the inner work. Some people might get life sentences, but they are still treated as human beings while they’re in prison.
What kind of “inner work” are y’all expecting from women locked in cages all day, being raped and sexually harassed by male prison staff, being denied medical care, having to trade sex for menstrual products, only being allowed to bathe 1-3 times a week, being served rotten food, being denied mental health treatment, etc.
What she did was horrible, and she definitely deserved to be put in prison for her crimes. However, where I am from, death penalty is illegal. To me this is just another form of murder. It is way better to sentence someone for life, than murdering them.
Christa Pike has been granted stay of execution by lethal injection shortly before it was scheduled to happen.
On death row for 30 years, Pike was set to become the first woman to be executed by the state of Tennessee in over 200 years.

Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna accepting the award for Best Collaboration at the #VMAs.
“I would like to briefly say how this collaboration came about. Everyone who knows me knows how impatient I am, and when 5 days passed and I still didn't get connected with Sabrina and I didn't hear back [if she] wanted to do a song with me. 5 days, I DMed her - this is a true story - she answered me back, and within weeks we were in the studio together. It was fabulous. I love working with you [Sabrina] because you are so professional and in this time and age is really hard to find professional people to work with. Amen. When I show up late she shows up early so it works out.She has a OCD and so do i. We write our lyrics in pieces of paper, they did it in the 1800s.”
My thought is we have regressed as a society, where this needs to be explicitly stated. I’m with Boomers on this. There is a time and place for everything and social etiquette is needed. Some of you really don’t have any home training.
Is there some phenomenon that makes TV from like 2006–2012 look WAY older now than it did at the time? Because I know damn well I was not sitting there watching something this blurry and LQ back then 😭
Any psychology student know how unethical this experiment was. I pray that Netflix followed proper ethical guidelines, or this could actually damaged someone
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has announced "The New Stanford Prison Experiment," an unscripted series streaming Oct. 21.
"Thirty willing participants enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. Thrust into a system of power, hierarchy, and control, they’ll discover whether ordinary people inevitably conform to the roles they’re given—or whether empathy, morality, and individuality can withstand the forces pushing them in the opposite direction. As the pressure builds and the balance of power begins to shift, the central question feels more urgent than ever: Does power corrupt?"

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it’s called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don’t care, but because you care too much.
if we are really going to talk about obstructing people’s view, then fucking stop with those huge banners that are even bigger than posters…can’t you just make one in A5 format? this is so annoying!! and this is coming from someone who’s always in front row, but i know so many people who can barely see anything because you are so obsessed with your fave seeing your damn cardboard banner for THE WHOLE CONCERT.
