How often do you lay awake thinking of other peoples mistakes?

It’s hard to remember other people’s past mistakes. This goes to show that YOU are the only one fucking up. The rest of us are lying awake thinking about what a disaster YOU are.

If you think this works, try it on a bag and report back.

Steel water bottle with one end narrowed to be a convenient handle –

A fat water bottle can’t be gripped. Bad handle = bad weapon –

To state the obvious, it’s not a worker doing that. It’s Universal Studios.

I’ve heard the response of “just stop watching the news” or “don’t pay attention”, but that’s basically impossible.

It is not only possible, it’s simple.

Good luck with it. I read your PDF. Let me know if you want any advice.

I’m not sure having no coaches is a good idea. A martial arts coach is a perfect example of “justified hierarchy”. And you do mark skill disparities as one of the major issues you’re facing.

Guy who tweeted this doesn’t fight.

Yes, Dahner is probably a good example of what I’m talking about: the conjunction of mistreatment and organic brain disorders. His parents denied scientists at Fresno permission to examine his brain before cremation, so we can’t be sure exactly what was wrong with him, but we know he was an alcoholic and the son of a mentally ill mother.

Charles Whitman is another: beaten by his father, lost his brother to murder, plus a tumour on his amygdala.

The point the English professors are making is that the new generation of students see monsters entirely as victims of circumstances. It’s an ideological belief.

It’s a weird internet-meme that the monster is innocent. Internet-dwellers have been posting that 2018 tweet as confirmation, as though that supercedes the text.

But it is true that I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing. I have devoted my creator, the select specimen of all that is worthy of love and admiration among men, to misery; I have pursued him even to that irremediable ruin. There he lies, white and cold in death. You hate me, but your abhorrence cannot equal that with which I regard myself.

Right, and that fits with what the profs are saying here: that modern sensibilities view monsters (even serial killers) as victims.

In this case, the sources were a professor of English at Exeter who wrote an intro to the book, and Mary Shelley expert Professor David Punter, of Bristol University.

The worst people in real life have both an abused background and an organic brain/genetic problem.

The monster’s abnormal reaction to rejection (becoming a serial killer), I read that as he’s probably got a bad brain/nature too. And why wouldn’t he, given how he was made?

You could…

Frankenstein! you belong then to my enemy—to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim.’

The child still struggled and loaded me with epithets which carried despair to my heart; I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet.

I gazed on my victim, and my heart swelled with exultation and hellish triumph; clapping my hands, I exclaimed, ‘I too can create desolation; my enemy is not invulnerable; this death will carry despair to him, and a thousand other miseries shall torment and destroy him

…but I didn’t read it that as an accident. Imagine using that defense in a courtroom: “I wasn’t trying to kill the child, I was trying to kidnap him for revenge. I killed him by accident when choking him to silence him.” Especially given the physical mismatch of a huge heavyweight versus a tiny child.

As I said earlier, “I think the problem is the students are giving too much credence to the monster’s monologues”
