i love this guy 60% of every video is him rolling around on the floor screaming while his camera guy goes “hey….. u ok?” then 5 minutes later he gets up and is like “ok folks, there u have it, the Satan DeathRay Fire Monster actually does cause pain when it bites u. science is great”
To be fair, this is actually a really good way of getting kids to realize that these animals really are dangerous, and he goes through the first aid either on the same video or in a follow up video (if it’s something complicated). IIRC, the whole reason he started doing videos like this was because while he was in Montana or something he saw a lot of Facebook posts about people whose dogs had gotten too close to a porcupine and they didn’t know how to remove the quills, so he (naturally) went into the woods, found a porcupine, quilled himself and filmed himself taking the quills out and explaining what he was doing.
He’s still fucking insane, but, you know, it’s for a good cause
He’s living his best life, his job is getting hurt on camera and educating others on how to be safe. And he clearly loves his job.
so every year after the juniors finish reading The Great Gatsby my high school english teacher throws a Gatsby party at his huge house and everyone shows up in period clothing and Charlestons to 20s music and my english teacher just wears a suit and stands off to the side staring wistfully out the window the entire night

Wisdom teeth are so weird cause my body is like, “hey I know you are done growing but would you like some…MORE TEETH???? And I’m like, “hell no, theres no room,” but then my body is still like *slamming fists on table* “more teeth! MORE TEETH! MORE TEETH!MORE TEETH! M O R E T E E T H”

doubt is good for your spiritual practice. it’s really good for it. too much doubt can poison it and make you spiral and no longer believe in yourself, yeah, but a healthy amount of doubt makes the real experiences stand out amongst the mundane-that-you-misinterpreted-as-spiritual.
critical thinking and spirituality should go hand-in-hand. i can understand not wanting to be hardcore about being critical about things, because it’s your faith and practice, but failing to be critical about anything is…well. you start allowing your brain to make things up and believing it when it does.
THIS. This is more important than I think people realize.
YES! + it’s good to be skeptical. I definitely am.
God, listening to John Mulaney talk about doing hard fucking drugs in his youth is like hearing a nun reminisce on her last orgy before she converted. What do you mean you didn’t come out of the womb with a fatherly demeanor and crippling anxiety?
The hardest drug I can picture John Mulvaney doing is a bottle of tums
