There's an obscure and criminally underrated anime based on the children's book "You're Umasou" which follows a young tyrannosaurus unwittingly adopting a newborn ankylosaurus and having to raise him. This film deserves more attention.
Imagine that you are about to pass a stranger on the street. Assume that the stranger is not threatening to you in any way, and they are also not particularly strange or interesting. They're just a completely average person.
If you believe the answer depends, pick what you generally do most often and/or explain why in the tags :]
"so your uncle wants me to spank your ass until you cum like every few months or so?"
"yeah. he was really insistent about the cum thing too you have to do it hard enough that i cum"
"alright sounds good to me i guess"
PSA: if you describe your sexy demons as "smelling sulphurous/like brimstone," that's not just vague mystical words.
Those are real smells.
They smell like farts.
Please know this. I'm begging you.
Some alternatives that both smell dangerous and interesting but not necessarily bad:
* wood smoke
* ozone (sparingly -- this can be nasty. It's the smell electronics make when they break and emit blue smoke)
* salt
* metal
* salty + metallic = blood btw
* roasting meat / burning fat (think: cooking bacon)

Due to word limits, a few explanations:
"Raised religious" = raised in a home where one or more religions were practiced, with at least one parent or guardian who ascribed to those belief systems and practices and taught them to you.
"Raised without religion" = raised in a home in which no one practiced religion but no one was a convicted atheist, either.
"Raised atheist" = raised in a home where at least one parent or guardian who was an atheist taught you that belief system. "Conviction" = religious conviction that matches the religion you were raised in.
"Rel" = religion.
This poll is specifically for agnostic people as opposed to people who practice a specific religion or people who are atheist. If you consider yourself agnostic, please take the poll! I'm curious to learn more--in a very surface-level tumblr poll sort of way--about the way beliefs change over time, whether gradually or suddenly. Feel free to elaborate on your experience with agnosticism, atheism, and religion in the tags.

Can't wait for the uniqueness of the holocaust to be a topic of importance in a political campaign in america in 2024. That's how it should be. That's normal
It's true, the Holocaust isn't unique, it holds the largest impact because it is the most recent one, at least for jews, given time other genocides will overshadow it, and it should be taught in the same vein as other historic atrocities.
There was the Effacer le tableau.
The Hutu massacres of the first Congo war.
The Rwandan Genocide.
The Bosnian Genocide.
The Isaaq Genocide.
The Anfal campaign.
The Gukurahundi.
The Cambodian Genocide.
The East Timor Genocide.
The Ikiza.
The Bangladesh Genocide, which may have a repeat very soon.
The Holodomor.
The Great Leap Forward.
The Armenian Genocide.
I can go on.
To limit education to but one atrocity, when all of these happened in the same century is an attempt to reframe or even hide these atrocities, for instance I have seen many socialists defend both the Holodomor and the Armenian Genocide, it does those being educated a disservice by treating the Holocaust as unique while surrounded by a myriad of other heinous genocides.
I will say context is important, and I don't know the context here, but yeah he's right to acknowledge the many other genocides that exist.
I mean the context in the screenshot provided is obviously correct and vindicates what Walz is saying. Someone screenshotted that as proof Walz was wrong because they could not read the words in it, just that it somehow disagrees with them.
He fucking says, right there, "to exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students' ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and ability to apply them elsewhere," that's the quote that this thread's OP and Twitter OP both looked at and got enraged by without reading! Guess what? If you teach people the Holocaust was completely unique and unprecedented and unrelated to any other patterns of behavior, the take-home lesson is that it might as well have been done by space aliens and there's no reason to be concerned with what humans are doing!
and by divorcing the Holocaust from all other genocides, it also allows people to not have a framework of other mass atrocities, which surprisingly enough seems to make them believe that the holocaust could have actually NOT happened, considering how they don't have a framework about how often atrocities happen.
the follow-up here is that when walz taught his class of sophomore high school students about the holocaust, he had them extensively study other genocides and the social conditions that preceded them. the class wrapped up with a group project trying to predict where the next genocide was most likely to take place
(this was in 1993)
and where did they collectively conclude the next genocide was most likely to happen?
Rwanda.
if, like me, you can't remember the date of the Rwandan genocide off the top of your head, it kicked off in April 1994.
So ... when Tim Walz says that studying the Holocaust as part of a pattern is vitally important, he is not talking out of his ass.
As a person of Jewish descent I think it's really, really important that people understand that the holocaust was not the only genocide in history, nor the "worst", that the major way in which it was exceptional was the degree to which it was systematized, documented and centrally planned, that it wasn't the only genocide happening at the time, that there are multiple genocides occurring across the world right now, and that treating the shoah as a freak one-time disaster has a number of terrible downstream political effects, both as described above and in its underpinning of Israeli exceptionalism
