Kind of makes me think of R.L. Stein's Goosebumps stories, though I also wonder about the 'Life is Strange' game that came out more recently, and am wondering if the Teacher is somehow responsible. . . Of course a closer comparison would be Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Youtube has a separate url for "shorts" now. Huh.

Started Squid Game, terminated it before the end of episode 1. Violence porn masquerading as entertainment at best. There's a lot of that sort of stuff out there.

Nah. I mean even the examples he cites are undone in a quick google search ...


Kirk orders Spock to Sick Bay, where McCoy finds evidence of extreme physical and emotional stress, a condition that will kill him within eight days if not treated. Spock is forced to explain that he is undergoing pon farr, a condition male Vulcans experience periodically throughout their adult life, and that he must mate or die. Kirk contacts Starfleet to request permission to divert to Vulcan but is denied. Kirk disobeys orders, believing that saving the life of his friend is more important than his career.

At Vulcan, Spock invites Kirk and McCoy to accompany him to the wedding ceremony. He explains that Vulcans are bonded as children so as to fulfill the pon farr commitment, and that T'Pring is to be his mate. T'Pring arrives with Stonn, a pureblood Vulcan, whom she prefers to Spock. T'Pau, a matriarch renowned as the only person ever to refuse a seat on the Federation Council, prepares to conduct the ceremony. However, T'Pring demands the kal-if-fee, a physical challenge between Spock and a champion she selects. To everyone's surprise, she chooses Kirk instead of Stonn. Spock begs T'Pau to forbid it as Kirk is unaware of the implications, but T'Pau leaves the decision to Kirk; another champion will be selected if he refuses. Kirk accepts the challenge, only to learn that it is "to the death."

The two begin combat with lirpa, a traditional Vulcan weapon. Kirk is challenged by Spock's strength and agility, even in his current state, as well as the thinner atmosphere of Vulcan. McCoy convinces T'Pau to allow him to inject Kirk with a tri-ox compound to offset the effects of the Vulcan atmosphere. The battle continues, with Spock eventually garroting Kirk with an ahn'woon. McCoy rushes to Kirk's body and declares him dead, and requests immediate transport back to the Enterprise.
He has a point, but it's not a now-versus-then, them-versus-us thing. Adolescent shit is transversal in things like Star Wars (the example he himself quoted).

I've been wondering (a bit reluctantly) when I'd get around to it, and this is what I've been imagining.

X-Factor Winner Reveals World’s Secret Religion – Freemasonry

video (and I've experienced some odd interactions that convince me he is telling the truth, about Freemasonry.)


Royal Order of Jesters (If the Shriners are an additional "chapter" to Freemasonry, this on is just another extension of it.)

CERN and the Mandela Effect (some of this could be due to popular culture repeating things the wrong way, but I have wondered about some of it; if it isn't due to memory being irrational.)

This video is actually part of a long playlist. I was looking through some saved images and came across a John Podesta Wikileaks email record, where it clearly suggested coded pedo language. I still suspect that Wayfair was engaging in some method of concealing business transactions under the guise of office furniture, as nothing else could legitimately explain how strange some of it was (other than perhaps some ineffective website listings edits that they wanted to keep people from buying things, so they made the prices 100x more than they should be, which Wayfair defended as saying that was actually the price of the cabinets, even when pillows and nighttime children's furniture with pedo symbols also had such strange pricings? Some of the symbolism on the furniture was very clearly symbols used for pedophiles.) This stuff is clearly related to the "Political Elite," and it's precisely why something like Jefferey Epstein had such odd things surrounding his death.

This one has more facts in it that I wasn’t familiar with, and that are probably less well known in general:
