General Discussion

Let's say you're a famous person, Russell, and you want to get into the movie industry, or you want to be free of it, or you want to go ahead and join. Here's what you have to do.

One, have boundaries. Do not lower your boundaries for fame. You do not have to do everything. You do not have to break your mental health. You do not have to sacrifice anything, especially if you're already up and out. If you're Lana Del Rey, the problem, I think, is that you're so used to feeling like you have to do terrible things to get yourself out of Dodge and into the public eye that you effectively continue to do harmful things, such as having sex with leaders to get your song sold or anything like that.

But I want you to know one thing: that is a broken mindset. It's a…

ChatGPT will sometimes tell people, “You can’t assume that rape fantasies mean someone will act them out in real life,” or “There are no studies showing that everyone who watches porn becomes violent.” The issue is that some people take that statement too far and act like there is never any connection at all between violent sexual material and dangerous behavior. That simply is not true in every case.

If you watch true crime documentaries, investigators sometimes explain how certain offenders escalated over time. In some cases, individuals became heavily addicted to increasingly extreme pornography and eventually wanted to act out what they had been consuming. That can include rape, torture, or even murder fantasies. One example often discussed is Ted Bundy. In interviews, he claimed that exposure to violent pornography contributed to his violent fantasies and behavior. He also stated that he came from a good family background, and…

This is why I strongly believe you should never intentionally have children with an abusive person. Parenting already contains extremely stressful situations even in healthy households. Babies cry for hours, parents lose sleep, emotions run high, and exhaustion builds up over time. A stable parent may become overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotionally drained. An unstable or abusive parent can become dangerous.

There are real cases where overwhelmed caregivers shake babies out of frustration, causing severe neurological damage or death. Some caregivers become so emotionally dysregulated that they scream at, neglect, or even physically harm infants simply because they cannot handle the stress. That does not excuse the behavior—it shows how dangerous uncontrolled anger becomes around vulnerable children.

Even ordinary parenting situations can trigger extreme emotional reactions in impatient adults. Homework is one of the most common examples. Across cultures, many people joke about how stressful it was having their parents help…

You should never feel guilty for removing a child from an abusive environment. Abuse affects far more than just the obvious physical harm—it damages a child’s ability to learn, focus, feel safe, and develop emotionally.

One of the clearest examples of this appears in education. Many parents become frustrated while helping children with homework. Even in healthy households, teaching can become stressful. Some children learn slowly, struggle with memory, or process information differently. A child with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, or other learning difficulties may need extra patience and encouragement.

The problem with abusive parents is not simply that they become stressed. The problem is that they cannot regulate their stress safely.

Instead of calming down, they lash out. They scream, insult the child, humiliate them, threaten them, or become physically violent over minor frustrations. A child who is constantly afraid of being yelled at or hit cannot focus properly…

When writing children, remember that development varies wildly from child to child. One twelve-year-old may still look very young, while another may already look like a teenager. You might meet a child who is twelve but physically looks fourteen or fifteen, then meet another fourteen-year-old who still looks nine or ten. Both are realistic.

The same applies to boys. One fourteen-year-old boy may look sixteen, while another may still look like a small child. Physical development is inconsistent because puberty affects everyone differently.

Some children also experience precocious puberty, meaning they develop unusually early. A young girl may physically resemble an older teenager even though she is still mentally and emotionally a child. This can create awkward or even dangerous situations where adults misjudge the child’s age. I have heard parents describe needing to constantly clarify their child’s real age because people assumed they were much older.

So I made an original post about this on my website, and it kind of has audio recordings and goes into detail about why I believe the way I do. But the written version is better because even though the original post is like 10 minutes and the later recording is like 49 seconds, the original post gets to the point much quicker. This is just my opinion and things I was taught and things that I've observed when looking up stuff about movies and such.

When they say box office flop, it means that even if the movie was really really good and made millions, like over 30 million dollars, because the original film took 50 million to make, the movie was still considered a box office flop.

The box office flop isn't necessarily about how good a movie is The Iron Giant was considered a box office flop…

In 2001, on January 7th—by the way, I was actually born on August 25th, 2002—CNN published an article at 8:53 Eastern Standard Time about the author of the Darwin Awards, who was dedicated to documenting bizarre fatal accidents and reckless mishaps. While reading it, I honestly found some of it disrespectful, especially toward the families of the deceased.

Some of the people featured were still living but had been sterilized due to their actions, and in other cases, family members reportedly asked for certain posts to be removed. Some of the incidents were genuinely horrifying rather than funny. Anyone falling into a wood chipper, for example, is obviously going to create a deeply disturbing situation for both the family and the community.

The CNN article is here:

However, there was one Darwin Award case in particular that struck me as suspicious. It felt like…

More important context.

I’m posting this in the group section because it’s short and straight to the point.

I went back and looked at the Susan B. Anthony situation again, and that Powerpuff Girls episode is honestly manipulative in that one scene.

There was a man on YouTube who started the Clippy movement because he was tired of companies pushing consumers around and trying to take advantage of them. I saw one of his videos where he criticized a school for introducing cameras in high schools. He argued that it was Orwellian and an invasion of privacy.

However, I disagree with him on that point.

From what I have seen and heard about what goes on in many schools, cameras can actually help protect students. For example, there was a girl who said she did not want to go to school anymore because the students were out of control. Kids were complaining that when students were bullied, sexually assaulted, or physically attacked, teachers often did nothing. Many students repeated the same thing: the teachers would not intervene.

There are also cases where cameras have helped reveal serious abuse.

In one case, a…

Ghost jobs are honestly... I am not sure if ghost jobs are worse than AI, but to me they can end up being worse or just as bad. I do not really have any issues with AI. What I am saying is that the reason ghost jobs are so bad is that they are very, very common, and that is the problem. Because they are so common, it boosts the chances of you running into one. The more there are, the more likely you are to encounter one.

Not only that, but some companies make job listings with the literal intent of not hiring anyone from them, and that makes everything worse. In my opinion, we should be more careful with the jobs we pick, but that becomes difficult because if you are trying to find a good job, the real jobs that are actually hiring are pushed down the…

So essentially speaking, I have a theory as to why other countries have very poor economies, and it has to do with inflation. One video showed that when a country has equality and actually cares about its people, there would not be as much poverty. People who are allowed to learn and work would get work and be able to do what they need to do.

This is true. You can actually see this with India. India has an issue that is self-caused. The reason is that in their country, their religion states that the poor and people of lower castes are that way because of something bad they did in a past life. So they treat them poorly, and they believe they cannot help them because if they do help them, they believe their false idols will be angry with them. Not even police will help a poor rape…
