We end up with a ton of candy leftover even telling kids to take 2-3 pieces, so I figured instead of buying 150 or whatever fun-sized we may as well upgrayde.

Mel Mudkiper posted:I have been watching Mindhunter and the pop culture fascination with serial killers has always been really weird to me and the show kind of makes me uncomfortable at points and not in the way it wants me to feel uncomfortable Why does it make you uncomfortable? It seems natural to be interested in what makes serial killers tick. That's my fascination with them anyways. When I watched Ed Kemper's interviews though, I realized it's probably nothing super interesting that makes them tick. They're mentally ill.

I live in a pretty good sweetspot of suburbia so I get tryhard parents that put way too much work into their kids costumes and a bunch of people who drive up from downtown because it's a better neighborhood to walk around, so I usually go through 3-4 bags of candy. It was awful at my parents house though. They had bought a decrepit mansion so everyone presumed we must give out great candy and my mom would just give out tiny amounts of the shittiest candy. Sweet tarts and those tiny garbage flavor tootsie rolls

Ehud posted:Why does it make you uncomfortable? It seems natural to be interested in what makes serial killers tick. Its more that there seems to be a dehumanizing and deliberate attempt to tittilate viewers will salacious details of murdered women that happens in a lot of serial killer fiction. It appeals to the same instinct in people as a car crash or a freak show, a desire to get pleasure from looking at something horrible for the thrill of it while awkwardly expressing horror or disdain. Like, the show is simultaneously going "look how evil and horrible this is" while simultaneously giving the audience the trill of reveling in how terrible it is.

Ehud posted:Why does it make you uncomfortable? It seems natural to be interested in what makes serial killers tick. It’s not really a “pop culture” thing as it is a “natural curiosity” thing. Animals check out when other animals get hurt. We slow down for accidents on the highway just to see what happened. We as creatures want to know the cause and effect of things that’ll kill us except we’re cognizant beings so we also have to worry about our mental state. Edit just read Mel’s post on top. I think you’re looking for something to defend more than anything - for my own example, I truly do not like blood guts and gore. I hate it. But hearing someone speak about it almost lustfully versus my reaction interests me, because I’m so naturally curious how someone can be that way. For instance -> I didn’t know most of that poo poo about the original case, I had no clue Manson had so much poo poo in his childhood Amy Pole Her fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Oct 18, 2017 |

I am not sure if I buy that the reasoning is defensive as much as it is based on a pleasure principal. We don't look at horrible things to learn how to protect ourselves, we look at horrible things because there is a lizard part in our brain that is titillated by violence.

It’s supported by quite a bit of published psychology. I’ll find it when I’m more free. As far as car crashes I agree but in terms of understand human psyches so far from our socially acceptable own? Absolutely people want to know “what in the heck *happened*?!”

if I gave out full-sized candy bars it'd cost us a thousand dollars or something. Last year we went through over $100 of Costco bags of candy, we managed to finish the night with just a bit to spare. In previous years we've run out repeatedly, and often we've had to turn out the lights by 9pm. Our first year here we were unprepared and ran out twice, and still had to close up by 8, it was ugly. We're in a residential development that runs between a police station and skateboard park on one end and an elementary school on the other end, and we're on kind of a circle of two streets that are the only houses, the rest are apartments. So there's tons of kids, and my wife loves halloween and always dresses up (this year she's making a moth costume) and we carve pumpkins etc. My costume is the same every year, just the typical rubber horse head, as one does. I like to answer the door wearing the horse head and holding a beer. The kids like it. We get the small pieces of candy but usually do two or three per kid. It has to be carefully rationed though.

Amy Pole Her posted:As far as car crashes I agree but in terms of understand human psyches so far from our socially acceptable own? Absolutely people want to know “what in the heck *happened*?!” Well, I don't think its an either or We are simultaneously curious about what drives a person to horrible acts and simultaneously fascinated by the "penny dreadful" thrill of the attacks. Like, I am fascinated by spree killers and gunmen like in Vegas, because I, like most people, want to know how someone can break so fundamentally. But at the same time, there is something unique the mystique of a serial-killer that goes beyond simple fascination with deviant psychology. We take interest not only in the individual, but in the act. Whether its in fiction like Hannibal Lector or in real life like Kemper, we seem to get a thrill from having inhuman acts of violence to people described or reenacted for us. And that unacknowledged element of it makes me uncomfortable.

The private club I work at is throwing a family Halloween party for the members next Friday. I'm MCing the event and am really excited! My wife is coming and is dressing up as Roz from Monsters Inc. We're doing some fun crafts, dance floor for the kids, costume contest, and trick or treating throughout the building. It's going to be so much fun.

I just got around to doing a project for my mom, transcribing a really cramped note/account of an add on to the house he made in 1973 written in cursive by my dad that she wasn't able to read with failing eyesight. This thing was written on both sides of something maybe double the size of your average post it note and ended up being two full pages typed. It was kind of fun actually, I felt like I was a 12th century monk or something trying to figure out terrible handwriting.

I've been doing something like this with some letters my grandfather sent my grandmother during WW2. It's pretty amazing, looking at the dates and realizing he's talking about being off the coast of Japan within months of the bombings. Here's one of them, they go on for months
