you know iâve been rereading the comics lately and rewatching the sims and i gotta say i only just now realized a pretty major character trait of demoman is heâs extremely depressed yet this doesnât ever really get touched on proper in canon. like he refers to himself as a âgrim bloody fairytale with an unhappy bloody endâ, itâs implied heâs such a heavy drinker due to his extremely stressful life and pretty traumatic childhood, and he latches his sense of self worth to his job so much that when he gets fired he becomes a shut in. yet the canon just only ever makes him an alcoholism joke

The mayor of Butler, Ohio (population 941) âaccidentallyâ struck a wanted pedophilic rapist with his car as the man attempted to evade the police. Right in front of the rapistâs grandma too. Based on previous news coverage of the rapist in question, he seems to be the local menace. Truly an entertaining read and a breath of fresh air in comparison to the rest of the current news cycle.

People on twitter have been saying this website is extremely white and tbh its making me very curious what the demographics of this site are (of my own reach anyway) so
DISCLAIMER: Race is a non scientific concept with no exact definitions. It is a social construct primarily characterized by how society treats you and thus this is an imperfect poll. If you feel none of the options here reflect you and your experience I implore you to reblog this with your experience as I am curious about that and want to hear about it.

A report released Tuesday by the CIAâs Office of the Inspector General revealed that the CIA has mistakenly obscured hundreds of thousands of pages of critical intelligence information with black highlighters.
According to the report, sections of the documentsâ âalmost invariably the most crucial passagesââare marred by an indelible black ink that renders the lines impossible to read, due to a top-secret highlighting policy that began at the agencyâs inception in 1947.

Took my tiny child with me to the Halloween store. Walked in and immediately realized it would be a terrible mistake.
They had those jumpscare machine things everywhere, lots of spooky noise machines, scary looking animatronic things, crazy decorations, just the whole 9 yards and then some. I immediately went to turn around and leave when I heard a noise coming from my arms.
My one year old child who gets scared if we coughâŚ. was laughing.
She makes this precious âeee!â sound and starts vibrating when she sees something she really likes, usually an animal or a balloon, and she points right at the big zombie thing by the door and does that. I carry her in past a huge 10 ft tall Pennywise inflatable, and she smacks me to tell me to stop so she can look. She ponders him for a moment, and his glowing light-up eyes, then points at his hand and shouts âBEEM!â Which is her word for âballoon.â She made us stand there under Pennywise for at least 3 minutes, which is a really long time for a one-year-old.
Then, she begs to get down, so I let her loose and she just books it all over the store. Finds the creepy demonic looking babies and shouts âBABY!â then gets this confused look on her face and tries to wipe the âdirtâ off their faces. Decides itâs not worth it, goes and picks up a severed hand decoration, hands it to me and says âhand.â Yes, my dear, it is a hand. And yes, that severed foot has âtoes,â youâre very right.
Finds the wigs, runs down the aisle shouting âhair! hair!â and grabbing her own sparse little headfuzz so hard I think sheâs going to rip it all out. Then she found the speaker in the wall that was blaring Monster Mash and she demanded I pick her up so we could âDANSSSEâ. But she got distracted by the big spider decorations, which she christened as dogs by running toward them and barking.
She ran up and down the aisles of costumes touching the fabric and making her little âtss tss tssâ giggle that she does when sheâs having Much Too Good a Time. Every so often sheâd stop, look back to make sure I was there, and point at something and vibrate with her aggressive âEEEE!â
A man turned a corner wearing one of the creepy latex masks. He immediately started apologizing to me, saying âIâm so sorry, Iâm looking for my friend, I donât want to scare her.â Meanwhile my child is standing there looking up at him with the most confused look on her face. Not scared, just confused, like he is so dumb and she canât figure out why he would want to make that stupid face for so long. But he rounds another corner all hunched over, she flaps her arms and sighs, and takes off to go scream at the creepy lawn decorations.
When it was time to go, nothing could convince her to come to me willingly, so I had to promise her one last look at the balloon man while I picked her up against her will. Pennywise placated her, and we left the store with a smile on her chubby little cheeks. She demanded we wait and watch the big inflatable-flailing-arm-tube-man out front, the one that was bright orange and had a jack-o-lantern face, and she bounced and wiggled and danced in my arms despite its fan being louder than the loud motorcycles that scare her on our walks. She waved bye-bye to it as we left for the car.
Basically, that was the cutest thing thatâs ever happened to me in my life, and itâs so crazy how so many things are culturally taught and kids are just⌠immune to that. All she saw was bright colors and things she recognized and could name, in a place she could explore and touch. She has no concept of clowns being scary or zombies being A Thing or what constitutes âcreepyâ and âspookyâ and âgross.â To her, a severed arm with gore hanging out the end doesnât represent pain or violence, itâs just âarm,â and itâs got some weird stuff on the end thatâs funny colors. Theyâre just things, thereâs no context for it.
The world is weird and beautiful and itâs so cool to see it through the eyes of someone who is so New to this planet and hasnât been influenced by society and culture yet.
