Deuteronomy 17:16-17

“Only [the king] must not acquire many horses for himself or cause the people to return to Egypt in order to acquire many horses, since the Lord has said to you, ‘You shall never return that way again.’ 17 And he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold.”

honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons 

like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he’s at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite the laws against it and wanted to try and help someone out and relive their glory days, only to be straight up murdered like fuck that scene is just so fuckin intense

You guys think they erase the memories of OWCA interns at the end of the summer?

If your brain reverts to an infantile state, it is "remembering" its original shape as well. And yet it would be absurd to call that a "memory brain"—most people would consider such a brain to be less "memory" than an ordinary human one on which impressions can be made, certainly not more.

Memory foam is such a stupid name like it doesn't remember shit. It just springs back into its original form no matter what you do. It should be called amnesia foam

Just made myself so so sad thinking about Aang's marble trick because from a physics perspective, keeping dense spherical objects afloat on an airstream is not trivial, and he's doing it in a tiny little space without moving his hands. Bending is usually very gestural. So. Everyone in the era of the show is, at best, impressed THAT it is airbending. But Aang's an incredibly young master airbender. He wouldn't be acting like this was the bestest trick ever if it didn't take at least some skill; he's a goofy kid but he's also a prodigy. I bet other airbenders were absolutely blown away (pun fully intended) at the level of precision and force and minimalism of movement on display and now there's no one who understands at all why he expects accolades.

If the purpose of prison were to keep us safe, no one would even consider putting nonviolent people guilty of only victimless actions in prison.

If the purpose of the sex offender registry were to keep us safe, no one would even consider putting homeless people who urinated in public on that list.

If the purpose of the police were to keep us safe, they'd be held to the highest standards. No one would even consider giving them a free pass to kill people.

If the purpose of spanking children were a last resort to stop them from doing something really bad, no one would even consider spanking children for accidentally using the wrong tone, breathing too heavily, or rolling their eyes.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Tokyo Ghoul theory: ghouls can eat any beans, because beans are humans.

Pythagoras (the guy who didn't invent Pythagoras' theorem) famously believed that beans were humans, and that's why neither he nor his cult ate them.

If beans are indeed humans, then ghouls would be able to eat them. This would explain why they would be able to drink coffee, since it's made with coffee beans.

Why wouldn't they eat other bean types though? Perhaps they never tried it, assuming they were the same as other "human food", and that it would still taste disgusting.

Maybe some philosophy nerd ghoul had this theory a while ago and tried to eat beans, but they accidentally bought kidney beans and then cooked them improperly and poisoned themself.

Perhaps that ghoul was Rize and this happened like a month before the show and the fact that it "didn't work" why Rize was so depressed and started binge eating (I don't know if there's a canon explanation for the binge eating, I'm not far along enough in the manga)

I can understand how "modern person thrown into the past gets by pretending to be a healer/doctor" is as surprisingly common of a trope as it is. I mean I'm fluent enough at bullshitting to be pretty sure I could pull it off to impersonate a doctor in any time pre-1800s. If I have no idea what something is or how to treat it, I could just get the opinion of the other whatever-passes-as-medical-professionals around, but if their suggestions sound like bullshit I'm not doing it. And I'll beat the shit out of anyone suggesting bloodletting or mercury. With my healing stick. I've tied little bells on it, that jingle comically with every smack.

The awesome curative powers of my healing stick come from two separate sources: Placebo, and me using it to beat anyone trying to give my patients mercury.
