I watched that all the way through. I even read the Google Doc footnote the video linked to, assuming it was an apology of some sort or maybe would reveal that it had been a performance art piece meant to drive home the random horror that is a universe devoid of meaning or purpose.

And all I learned was that they buy foam to make costumes for furries on the internet.

Girl: *with attitude* “I, like, bought this $80 phone case like two months ago and it’s, like, completely broken now. Like, what do I do?”

Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but the case is way past the store’s return policy; however, it does have a one-year manufacturer warranty you can go through.”

Girl: “That’s, like, so f****** unhelpful. You suck.”

Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but that’s all I can help you with.”

Customer: *observing this conversation to me* “Please don’t apologize to that brat. She obviously just needs to work for something for the first time in her life.”

Girl: “This store sucks and I, like, so just wasted my gas for this s***.” *storms out of store*

The amazing thing is that they're adults.

I actually watched the video this time and the stoic looks of everyone in their house/dorm are the faces of people that just don't have time for their poo poo anymore.

Nobody should ever look back fondly on their time as a furry/fursuit manufacturer. There are some things that aren't excusable, even for (mental or actual age) children.

Just based on the small number of furries I've met who got out of that poo poo, they don't. A lot of them realize how hosed up and lonely they were and how worse the people in those communities tend to be than the normal people they would bitch about. Of course that's not considering the insane number of furries that never grow out of it and just remain creepy, increasingly old, perverts until they die and get an online furry funeral.

Who was the goon that was very into the London furry scene and now looks back on it pretty bitterly? Camrath I think?

He made a pretty interesting "I was a furry ama" thread a couple months ago.

Considering you can get upwards of $2k for a reasonable fursuit, that's not a bad reason.

Wait if that shop assistant was OK with giving the guy a 66% discount why didn't she give it to old dude?

There was just a study put about how kids raised by religious parents tend to be less altruistic and have more problems sharing with others than kids raised in non religious homes or homes where religion was not a justification for doing something kind.

I was raised a Catholic, and although my mom is still in the faith, I'm an agnostic. I was expected to call someone if I saw an accident. Prayer was not something we were supposed to do for poo poo like this.
The fact that someone would see this and think it's positive is really worrying.

Edit. Could you link the study? Sounds interesting

That study was kinda lovely iirc. Very small samples of vastly different populations and the altruism was "will this kid share some stickers with another kid?"

And even then the results were not all that big.

A flag pole and an eagle? I hope these dangerous items get banned from school grounds immediately!

Also I didn't realize right away it must have been a sculpted eagle and had the weirdest visual of a tall flag pole slowly toppling over with an eagle clinging on for dear life going "what the gently caress maaaaaaaaan"

Where is OSHA that a sharp-rear end eagle flagpole is just falling on kids? Shouldn't that be a sign from god that it is weird and abnormal to have your country's flag mandatorily hanging in every classroom? Also thank you to the teacher who applied pressure to my kid's head wound instead of praying about it because that is probably why it just needed a staple instead of going through the kid's skull.

I'm morbidly amused by the image of a kid getting clocked by a flagpole, and then a bunch of creepy kids encircle him and pray while he bleeds out, and then some adults stand around and stare slackjawed at the kids.

Actually now it's sounding like Village of the Damned.

That's honestly all I can think of. It's the most hilarious, frightening reaction to that situation.

I was also confused by the setup. I assumed an eagle(live) was on top of the flagpole, then the pole broke. And then the pole sliced him on the head and then the eagle sliced him open too. A two-hit combo of pain

So as god knows (in advance i guess. or did he make the wound better during the praying?) that he will get some tasty prayers he intervened with his almightiness but only made the wound "not that bad"? And this is a success-story? This way of thinking fascinates me. I guess it's like someone in an abusive relationship being thankful for "not being beaten up that much today". Does this behavior have a name?

Put them to the test and put them around a Stage 4 pancreatic cancer patient. I'm sure it will work out perfectly.
