When I got arrested for Nazi Pug, I got held in jail until my court date due to the "serious nature" of my "offence".

But the guy who threw a toddler into a crocodile enclosure to try and have him ripped limb from limb has already been bailed the very next day.

Clown country.

@ShamashAran In 2008, I discussed homosexuality with a gay friend of mine in college, who was rather passionate for gay marriage. I asked him the sincere question, "If you only need the approval of the law, then why do you need approval of the religious? Where do approval needs end? No answer

@Actually_Tina I AFK'd there with my fiery horns, as with the 2.55 locale, but missed him coming at just as before. I am the not a good hype villain.

@elonmusk You should settle around Capulin Volcano. It's quite beautiful, especially the view from its top.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

I have said this many times, but Gaming was better in every single way when it was a hobby made by and for nerdy/weird dudes and asians.

As soon as it became a hobby for "everyone" the decline truly started and video games are now in their "victory has defeated us" era.

@countrxistence Is layered in parable, and though the story takes a turn into science fiction, in the end the ultimate evil of Cecil's story is defeated through prayer and sacred artifice. More comparable to Aeris and the Holy materia. XIV only turns away from the idea that Darkness is evil.

[Alexander Wynn @Vyrerus]

@countrxistence That evil powers, even when wielded by the righteous, cannot defeat true evil. As such, the people who Cecil committed evil against send him on a spiritual journey that is likely to kill him, in order that he might prove himself, atone, and become a Paladin. The entire sequence

[Alexander Wynn @Vyrerus]

@fawzydawah The whole of that context is, the smallest of seeds on Earth that grow into the largest of garden plants. You've not even included the whole of the parable, and are therefore operating in literal bad faith.

@toa_nippon @PoltFan69 Have you ever looked at the moon and stars IRL? Stars are larger than the moon. Do you understand?

@EruseaRise @vaaniellis @ReactionaryLuma As much as I love this nuke of a post, it's incorrect. They have been trained to see those other themes. They have also been trained to reject them.

@revenant_MMXX Voting with your wallet isn't boycotting. It's a rational method to show disdain for bastardizations of products. It is a personal expression of your ideals. Just like any other vote you cast.

@TheBabylonBibi @TRHLofficial @OwenShroyer1776 I, too, am an idiot.

oh ok

[Alexander Wynn @Vyrerus]

@Actually_Tina There were once no story beats later on, just the story we had so far. It was a rug pull being pulled under another rug. Invalidating so much of the bloody banquet of 2.55 and a showcase that Lolorito's character is less character and more plot device
And we won't, but that's OK!

[Alexander Wynn @Vyrerus]

@Actually_Tina @AntifaCostanza Basically the last time they played the series, or knew anything about it, his was a prominent name that they internalized.
This probably the first time they've looked AT FF in like 15 years or some shit.
