It's the expected response for the punchline. The twist is he's deaf so he doesn't hear the question to give the delivery.

Or maybe we were made to believe nothing has changed, because that was part of the wish. A retroactive alteration of a reality we no longer remember.

Yes. Their jaw muscles are designed to hold prey, so their bite down is incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, most of their muscle mass is dedicated to that single action, not the other way. That's why you can hold their mouths shut with rubber bands or your bare hands, if need be.

Behind that gruff facade was a man who wanted to make people happy. He knew what Bart wanted from those calls and gave it his all.

Yes, but at the cost of your character missing some interactable objects and aiming becomes a little more difficult. After too long, then make it affect health.

Maximum, or current health? That is an important distinction which can drastically change the armor's utility.

I have these strings

To hold you down

I tie them tight, you can't burst out

You might scream

But I'm happy

I've got your skin on me

It is very important to note that if you are seeing a new therapist or therapy is new to you, at least a few of these feelings are very common in the first few sessions (no chemistry, feeling disappointed or getting nowhere, trust). Even feelings of being judged or pushed to hard may come from initial feelings or not understanding what barriers or limitations you have that need to be addressed. Talk to them about those when they come up.

Some of these are obvious red flags to monitor and you should monitor all of these, but do not be discouraged if you are initially identifying with some of these; it takes time to settle in. Your therapist is first trying to get to know you, what you are going through, and understand how to help you. It's going to take multiple sessions depending on how much you need to get off your chest, but it should get better. If it doesn't, it's perfectly normal to switch to a different therapist.

The amount of pain depends on the circumstances, but "tiny bit" doesn't come close to the reality. There can be a lot of physical pain, but there is also a HUGE emotional component that comes with it and will linger a lot longer than the physical pain.

My wife and I experienced three. There is a period of mourning because it does feel like a loss, especially for her.

I believe they are called communities.

Oh, man. This brings back memories. I did this every time I loaded any game into the system. My PS1 had issues with the balls on the disc spindle that locked the disc in place. I had no idea and had so many issues with discs not loading until I discovered it. Then it became the disc equivalent of popping the cartridge out of the SNES and re-seating it until it worked. Eventually, I had to replace the balls as they fell out but as a broke college student, I just crumpled small bits of aluminum foil into similar sized balls and stuffed them in there. Worked great after that.

Consider this, then. We understand how psychology works and why this situation is complety outside of any realm of possibility. Yet it is happening anyway. Consider that there is something out there, something external, something unknown, that we aren't even aware of yet that can have an effect on the human brain beyond the scope of our understanding or capabilities.

D&D has mindflayers that command a powerful control of the psyche. In that world, it is a logical reason for unusual or impossible behaviors. Harry Potter has the imperious curse as a logical way to accomplish something similar. These don't work in the real world and we have no real world equivalent.

But, the things in those worlds weren't always known about. There had to have been a period of discovery. Same with our reality. There have been many things we never knew we never knew until they were discovered. Applying logic to these situations with the knowledge of the time made it harder to understand or take seriously because we didn't have a concept yet for what it was. Yet it was there.

The fault represents that unknown both in knowledge as well as understanding. It isn't meant to be taken literally as "This thing can cause supernatural brain control." Rather, it is playing on that concept of discovery of the unknown. The hole we as humans must dive into to understand the world around us. The comic doesn't reveal the reason for it. But isn't that the very nature of exploring the unknown? We are driven to it to fulfill a need.

Sure, it could be that there is an unknown "thing" the comic never reveals, something left to our imagination to fill in the blanks which can often be a lot scarier than anything we can come up with. But it is stirring those thoughts of curiousity to find the reason, the source. The hole is considered "my hole" not because it was made for us, but because that is our personal passion, our special interest, our allure for discovery. And through it, you are changed.

The X-Files. The direction they took after Robert Patrick joined just did not work and felt like a spinoff more than part of the main series.

It's been a while since I saw the movie, but seeing the concept art for the stones made me realize how well the symbols work for what they represent. I don't know why it took me this long to see it.

And the concept art for Diva looks fantastic!

I had assumed they were, but I'd never heard anything confirming it.
