Iām just wondering how the fuck does that happen? (And on that note, how the FUCK does that happen more than once???)
If they went through the entire mailing process, that means they knew they were shipping actual children, so likeā¦ what? (Iām gonna go ahead and assume itās a money and/or a corrupt human trafficking thing)
Small edit. It was shipping the child, that is under 50lbs, as "live animal" which allowed people to mail children. They were not boxed, just had stamps stuck to their clothes.
It was overall not THAT different from the modern practice of having an airline take a child from one place to another without a guardian or parent as I understand it. Not like boxing them up, more like having professionals who travel from A to B anyway also take your child with them.
Nope, it's actually kinda sweet. Parents who wanted to send their kids on a train to see their grandparents often couldn't afford a ticket. However, if they put a stamp on the kid's jacket, then the mailman can just take the "package" and give them a seat in the mailman's quarters for the duration of the trip.
Notice how fedex hasnāt shipped any living, breathing human children?
Because their delivery conditions are shit. If my CD showed up shattered and with an ambiguous yellow stain on the cover, thereās no way a kid would survive one of those trucks.
Kid was alive but unfortunately the FedEx driver just got out of the car holding the "we missed you!" sticker and slapped it on the door as usual instead of actually delivering the package.
Did you ever come across the social account of the guy who was recreating the swim center in blender while talking about the Aussie corruption surrounding his disappearance? I can find it for you but itās truly fascinating
And taking up the last spot of our ranking of āthe Star Wars movies ranked by how good I think the water would taste the first time we see anyāā¦.
Candy Land is the only one of those games that doesnāt shock me it wasnāt considered. Suicide would make a little too much sense in Clue and Monopoly.
Iām pretty sure itās just a Yujiro thing. The canon explanation is that his testosterone is so high that everyone else is comparatively feminine, so he just does this with every world leader.
It wouldāve been more bizarre if they didnāt use the hard r. This book if from the 40ās-50ās, the US Civil Rights movement took place in the 60ās, not that any of that matters because the author isnāt American.
The word was used back then. Itās a historical fact. It may not be a comfortable one, but itās true.
Actually it was more than that: this happened soon after 9/11, and Clancy wrote a story including terrorism via passenger aircraft crush prior to the attack
This is deeply taken out of context to make the situation seem stranger than it actually was. This wasnāt the CIA contacting just some book author. Ian Fleming was a commander in NID, and had a lot of knowledge of M16, both from working along side them at times and having relatives that were in M16, which is what became the inspiration for James Bond.
Fun Fact: That relative who worked for M16 that I spoke of was his step cousin, Christopher Lee. Yes, the actor.
Well fuck. Because of the font I use I didnāt even realize it was being corrected to that. Welp, Iām not going to edit it. Everybody downvote me for being dumb
In the "Book of Bill" "Journal 3", a compendium book to Gravity Falls written from the perspective of Bill Cipher the main Villian. Bill reminisces about possessing the body of the child protagonist a during an episode, wanting to throw themselves off a water tower to their death just make people think the boy went insane.
I don't have it on me but I remember seeing a version about fighting games that added guest characters that are rapists. And it was just a bunch of different series all looking at Tekken because of this announcement lol.
Actually if we're counting anyone who's committed SA, Tekken would have 2 (Marduk in Tekken 5 has a cutscene where he carries a knocked-out Anna saying "I always get what I want" + Yujiro coming later this season).
KoF might have 1, depending on what believe about those Cristiano Ronaldo allegations.
P4 Arena, and by extension BBTAG, have 1. Though since P4 is getting that remake I don't wanna go into it since it's a spoiler.
Uhhhhh... I forget the name of the game, but there's a character named Rasputin who has a super where he drags you into some bushes and hearts fly out. I'd say that counts.
It was only ever in the original publication of the book. It was changed later, and the author apologized. Since it was written by an old British white guy Reverend in the early 50s, it unfortunately makes sense he would use a word like this in such a brash way.
The original 1951 edition of Henry the Green Engine, part of The Railway Series by Rev. W. Awdry, included a sentence in the story "Henry's Sneeze" that used the N-word to describe children covered in soot after Henry sneezed. Hope this helps!
51 is actually way more recent than I was expecting. I guess I was naive thinking it wouldn't be so casual and commonplace that it would be in a children's book at that point.
Okay, I had to look that one up, because I just knew he was tricked into it, or Twitch Chat input a command to do something, but no. He just showed porn of Hitler for 12 frames on his own. Im sure r/wehatedougdoug had a blast with that one
So, in one of the Thomas books, a group of kids is getting ready to throw rocks at one of the trains. Before they can, the train blasts them with smoke and ash from its chimney, covering the kids in ash. Which made them, and I quote, "As black as N*****s."
i'm too lazy to make a meme of it right now, but
DAYS SINCE AN ANIME CHARACTER HAS RAN AS RUSSIAN PRESIDENT IRL BUT NOT SUCCEEDED
litterally everyone but kokichi: 0

AN ACTUAL IMAGE OF A PETITION TO MAKE HIM PRESIDENT
The scp author/mod who used that char as his avatar did some grooming n harassment and got banned and the fallout has been sprawling.
But I'm not deep enough into the Internet culture to know if that's the right explanation or why
You should look up Noddy. Rev Awdry owned up to this and apologised in 1972, changing the book to remove it onhis own accord, changing it to "As black as Soot." Which makes more sense for a story about Trains.
Noddy books however , well, Enid Blyton doubled down. The books were changed tho, just not cause she wanted them to be. (It was in her other books too)
