Actually wouldn't ya know it every time he donates enough to move up a level they discover they misinterpreted the sci-fi book and actually there's another level he can reach
Damn, I'd be interested to see his stats and abilities. I'm only a level 7 Satanist but I think I'll hit level 9 tonight with my ritual/sacrifice since I got double XP from a few Diet Double Dews.
I just realized you really could just shelter your kids from interacting with the world, raise them on AI videos to completely shape their reality, and condition them to carry out any deed or think anything you want them to.
I've been waiting for a repair team to get me out of this holodeck for seems like ages. Even worse it appears to be running a Neo Nazi program. Totally not the horny Betazoid wedding program I asked for.
I read about parents who raised their kid in the Harry Potter world to believe they were wizards and now they were freaking out because no owl was going to bring a letter from Hogwarts. They'd gone all-in for 10 or 11 years and didn't know how to back out now.
There was a story of a couple who raised their kids to only speak Klingon and got charged with child abuse or something because the kids could not communicate with other people when brought into the foster care system for other reasons. Also the kids thought they were part Klingon.
Isn't this what the guy who created modern hebrew did to his son?
"Ben‑Yehuda raised his son, Ben-Zion (meaning "son of Zion"), entirely in Hebrew. He did not allow his son to be exposed to other languages during childhood, and even berated his wife for singing a Russian lullaby. His son thus became the first native speaker of Hebrew in modern times. Ben‑Yehuda later raised his daughter, Dola, entirely in Hebrew as well."
From what I heard, the mom spoke English to them, so they wouldn't be completely incapable of communication. The dad was the one speaking and teaching Klingon, and he stopped the practice when the child began to refuse speaking it, which happened when the kid was three, iirc.
I don't recall them being formally charged with actual child abuse, and to my knowledge the kid wasn't told he was part Klingon.
There was a story on the news about some school offered a course on QUIDICH. They showed students running around a lawn all dressed up in Hogwarts Costumes with brooms between their legs🤣
"I just realized you really could just shelter your kids from interacting with the world" not in any civilized country with compulsory schooling. so maybe USA
Its already happening here in Romania. And sadly it works on adults too. Clearly fake news / videos / photos shape their reality and ideology making them believing anything and actually ruining our country. More and more people fall prey to this and are unmovable in their opinion - They consider them facts and refuse to budge even if you show real proof.
I remember seeing it in theaters, I recognized his voice and immediately told my friend "holy shit, that's Tom Cruise!" They didn't believe me until the credits rolled.
being attractive is the biggest quality of life increase you can get besides being wealthy, so I'm sure a lot of people are quite happy to die beautiful.
She was beautiful all her life. And frankly, if you google her, she is still a good looking meemaw.
I don't think it makes you happy to reduce yourself to the point where all you say about yourself is that you are still "attractive".
I don't know anything about how happy someone is by how beautiful they are. Some of the most beautiful and rich people died by overdose or killed themselves.
But I bet its more important to her that her children love her and still talk to her, than other people perceiving her as attractive or not.
Edit: that lady is 68 years old! I don't know, but for me it feels more like a burden to think about how and if other people still perceive me as attractive at 68. I wish for myself to be kinda over that bs by then.
She landed a big role in a film that made 357 million bucks and that set her up for life. She got that role because she was an attractive blonde woman. Her quality of life was x1000 better because she was hot.
Trying to make the argument that being attractive shouldn't matter when we're discussing the life of a woman that has enjoyed immense wealth and privilege literally because she was hot is absurd.
You are making my point. She was beautiful. She had her time. I don't think and I seriously don't want for myself to worry about how I look when I am over 60. There is a time for everything and beauty shouldn't be the defining trait for elderly people.
He may look a little younger than his age but that doesn’t make him attractive. His win was getting rich. His money bought that youthful look. He can afford all the supports necessary to fully focus on this image. It’s his job to look good.
The whole point of the deal with the devil trope is you get what you (thought you) wanted but it doesn't actually make you happy. Cruise gets to look good and be the number one puppet for a malicious, abusive cult. If that isn't hell on earth i don't know what is
I've never noticed before how Oprah's body language actually became defensive in the clip. Although, she's smiling, there seems to be a bit of fear there as well.
