OKAY BUT KEITH SAID “TAKE 2 STEPS FORWARD, TURN RIGHT AND TAKE 3 STEPS IN THAT DIRECTION” HE WOULD’VE LEAD LANCE INTO A DEAD END LIKE WHAT
Keith actually was trying to get Lance to run into walls but Lance couldn’t even follow his directions properly and accidentally gave him plausible deniability
Okay but here’s the fun part because it’s actually even worse than that?
Because, see…
Keith’s not even looking at the same maze. See the little blue dot in the bottom left corner? That’s Lance. And from Keith’s perspective, if you DO take two steps forward and turn right, that IS leading you out.
What does this mean? Coran is just trolling ALL OF THEM.
it’ll be a funny story for your grandkids: everything is on fire and we may die
little nippy out: everything is frozen solid
cold enough for ya?: polar bears are huddling around drum fires; penguins are looking up timeshares in florida; permafrost is reaching for the earth’s core; school may or may not be canceled
kinda muggy: sweat is pouring down my body and pooling in my shoes
hot enough for ya?: i can’t move my car because the tires have melted to the pavement
wind’s kickin’ up: there is a tornado literally bearing down on us right now
my bro: this person has seen me drunk naked and didn’t put the pictures on facebook
my posse: i would take a bullet for these idiots but i have punched at least half of them at one time or another
I know people who graduated college at 21, and didn’t get a salary job until they were 27. I know people who graduated at 25 and already had a salary job. I know people who have children and are single. I know people who are married and had to wait 8-10 years to be parents. I know people who are in a relationship and love someone else. I know people who love each other and aren’t together. There are people waiting to love and be loved. My point is, everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at your friends and some may seem to be ahead or behind you, but they’re not, they’re living according to the pace of their clock, so be patient. You’re not falling behind, it’s just not your time.
you know that trope in shows or movies where the evil character is in captivity and starts talking to the Heroes to try and mess with their minds, and starts analysing them going “face it you’ll never be good enough” … “you try to act tough but inside you’re broken” … and the Hero gets really rattled and upset.
well i want a scene like that where it doesn’t work
Villain: “You have a darkness inside of you. You try to hide it, but it’s there–”
Hero: “Yeah that’s the depression, there’s pills for that.”
Villain: “You try every day to make your mother proud. Even after death, it still haunts you. But she’ll never be proud of.”
Hero: “Well yeah, she was an emotionally abusive narcissist, she was never proud of anything I did, what else is new.”
Villain: “You put on a good show, but deep inside I know you don’t feel worthy.”
Hero: “I know, man, I’ve been trying to work on that in therapy.”
Like… give me characters who know they’re mentally ill and traumatised who can’t have it used against them because they’ve fully accepted it
You wake in the night with your arm hanging over the side of your bed. It is still dark, and your bedroom is shrouded in deep shadow. Something unseen seizes your hand.
You grasp it tightly, knowing that first impressions are important and a firm, confident handshake will establish dominance.
A hollow voice echos under your bed, shaking you to your core, “You’re hired.”
The key issue is that because our power depends on collective fictions, we are not good in distinguishing between fiction and reality. Humans find it very difficult to know what is real and what is just a fictional story in their own minds, and this causes a lot of disasters, wars and problems.
The best test to know whether an entity is real or fictional is the test of suffering. A nation cannot suffer, it cannot feel pain, it cannot feel fear, it has no consciousness. Even if it loses a war, the soldier suffers, the civilians suffer, but the nation cannot suffer. Similarly, a corporation cannot suffer, the pound sterling, when it loses its value, it doesn’t suffer. All these things, they’re fictions. If people bear in mind this distinction, it could improve the way we treat one another and the other animals. It’s not such a good idea to cause suffering to real entities in the service of fictional stories.
