Watch it in video

No. 

No this is not funny.

Whether or not it is a joke, I’ve gone onto the channel and there are multiple videos similar to this, which makes me think they’re fake.

Doesn’t matter. 

These videos enforce the idea to parents that yes, the answer to stop your child becoming obsessed with games is to DESTROY them.

No. This is not funny. It is things like this that cause events such as the father who SHOT his daughter’s laptop to bits to occur. These jokes enforce the attitude that people are ‘wrong’ for loving games.

For wanting to play games. 

For some people (including myself), games are a serious escape from horrid realities. The only escape some people can get. The idea that this man (boy?) is wrong for being so upset is disgusting to me?

This is horrific. This is abuse. This is wrong.

This is a sure fire way to get your kids to hate you.

do people not understand how much video games cost?

Video games are a multi-billion dollar business. Some people are good at it. Very good. Do not squander your child’s talents, help them realize them and strengthen them. There are other ways to get your child outside without destroying their games and everything they work for. This won’t solve anything; this will only set them back further.

do this to your childs anything and they will automatically hate you/not trust you

It doesn’t matter what it is

It doesn’t matter if its their video games or if its their smoking pipe

If you just destroy it/throw it away, you are giving no explanation as to why it’s bad/you don’t want them to have it

This can actually psychologically mess a kid up because you teach them that if someone doesn’t like something, they should destroy it

That can lead to some serious problems with socializing with others and other things

dont do that to people

dont

I had a notebook I used to write in all the time. I did that thing that Margo did in Paper Towns where she criss crossed her writing, but I did it so I’d have enough room to write everything. I took it everywhere wtih me and wouldn’t let my parents even start the car unless I had in in my lap. My dad got really annoyed by this and said I needed to throw the notebook away, what was written in it wasn’t important anyway (it was to me, very much so). So one day he took and ran it through the paper shredder.
Ever since I’ve had an intense fear of losing my notebooks and currently have a colletion of 53 blank notebooks and 16 that have been written in because I’ve started hoarding them.
Long story short, don’t fucking do this to your kids. You think it’s harmless and some people even think it’s clever, but you’re really just an asshole and are causing actual psychological problems for your children.

I have a plush rabbit that I’ve had since Easter of the year I was born (I was about 2 months old when I got it). It quickly became a comfort thing for me and I used to go everywhere with it as a child. When my mum and dad split up was when I became kind of dependent on having it around.
If ever I did anything wrong mum always threatened to take it away from me, which obviously caused my 6-year-old self to kick and scream and cry because I needed it.
One day I lost it for 6 or 7 months (turns out it was in my room the whole time but shh it was very well hidden & neither myself or my mum know how it got there)
That was the point that my mum realised she couldn’t threaten to take it away because holy shit I changed so much in those months.

Seriously, if your child is dependent on something, or takes great comfort in having it around
DO NOT TAKE IT FROM THEM.
It does not matter how old your child is, what their comfort item is, if it’s a video games console – don’t take it from them. If it’s their phone – don’t take it from them. If they’re 18 and still sleep with a teddybear – don’t take it from them.

This also goes for if your child is self-harming. If they have a blade in their bedroom and you find it DO NOT THROW IT OUT. Talk to them about it, be as supportive as you can, but do not think “oh well if I get rid of it they’ll be fine”. It can be seriously distressing and also lead to them becoming creative with what they use.

I was given my very first computer when I was about 13 on Christmas. I was so excited, because I’d always wanted to have a computer to myself to play PC games and write and use the internet. Eventually, however, after a year of having the computer, my dad started threatening to take it away/smash it/cut off my internet access because according to him, I was “addicted”. To this day, he STILL DOES THIS. I no longer have that desktop computer anymore, as I invested in a laptop with my own money. Does that stop him from basically claiming the laptop as his property to do what he wants with and threatening to smash it on me so that I would “socialize” more? Nope.

No wonder I have a lot of anxiety problems, folks.

Please do not do this to your children. You can and will create serious problems. 

Here’s a more obvious reason why pulling a stunt like this is stupid: those games are worth money. Even if it’s only a dollar or two, that’s still a dollar or two of value. You could sell them all and put that money toward something else. The father might as well have thrown dollar bills down and chopped them up.

If I need to give another reason, here it is: video games are an experience. Destroying a game disc is destroying the chance to revisit that experience. It’s not much different than taking your family photos and torching them.

The core problem is that the parents engaging in this kind of behavior think of computers and video games as purely entertainment. They grew up in a time when their nearest real point of comparison is a television set, which they used primarily to watch fun TV shows and films. They aren’t aware of just how powerful computers and TVs are because they didn’t grow up in a culture that heavily uses them.

In other words, the key to resolving this sort of thing is to make sure the parents realize how computers, video games, etc actually function in our society today, and that it’s much different from the way things were when they grew up.

Hitler flirting with Eva Braun.

I don’t know how this makes me feel

It makes me feel very uncomfortable

You know what’s so uncomfortable about this? It shows that perhaps one of the most evil men in history, was a human being. That, on occasion, he could be nice, even flirty. That’s not all. You want to see evil people as evil, screaming horrible stuff over a desk with 20 microphones with 20, 000 people saluting them. The evil is clear and recognizable then. This shows a completely different image, it scares you because that means that evil isn’t a stereotype, that evil is not recognizable, that evil could be anyone. It scares you because this shows that could be lurking inside anyone and you’ll never ever know. Maybe in you? 

i reblogged this literally like 2 minutes ago, but i want this version because of that comment ^

That comment is one of my favorite post commentaries, because it’s completely right. People aren’t inherently evil. Like good, it’s a role they grow and live into. We have just as much potential to destroy as this man exhibited. And it’s a very eye opening experience to realize that.

does anyone even remember that one time hitler attended that luncheon between world leaders, some guests of which even included china’s socialist leader as well as Stalin. And then when they were ordering, everyone was gladly ordering impressive dishes one after the other, but Hitler placed an order for barley tea and a pheasant (considered a peasant’s meal by standard). When he was questioned as to why he would order something like this in something as grand as a world leader’s congress, he replied,

“I don’t smoke when my people cannot smoke, and I cannot eat when my people are going hungry.”

He wasn’t evil for its own sake, let’s try to remember that despite the countless murders, but for a moment, he did actually believe he was doing something for the good of his countrymen.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

No, he’s right. Hitler, though extremely wrong in his views, did everything for what he thought would better the lives of his people. It was wrong. It was disgustingly, horribly wrong. But he did not do it because it was evil and he was evil. He did it because he believed it would help Germany and those who needed a better life. Those who don’t understand or even try to understand the human brain will always label men like him as ‘evil’ because it is easier to accept. But he wasn’t ‘evil.’ He felt love and loyalty and responsibilities. He simply took these aspects and morphed them into a twisted, violent thing. 

Tumblr is probably the only place we could have this conversation and not be lynched.

“Every villain is a hero in his own mind.”

― Tom Hiddleston

I love every thing about the comments.

but he killed literally millions of innocent people including: disabled people, homosexuals, Jewish people etc…..

It’s not about justifying his actions. It’s about understanding them. Nobody is saying the murder of millions is good or acceptable. The point is to understand how and why Hitler took the actions he did, and how he managed to lead a whole country into accepting such a course of action along with him.

If we do not think through these things, then we put ourselves at greater risk of letting them repeat. This knowledge alone can protect us from falling into the same trappings that the German people did, and can allow us to either prevent someone from becoming like Hitler or prevent such a person from coming into power in the first place.

he’s literally a fucking monster who lies and predates on brown women and tells them he’s single

He hides the fact he’s married and kicked his brown wife out of his home

He hides my existence from everyone

He claims to make 100 – 150K a year and then tries to liquidate our assets, like the car, so that he won’t have to help me or offer me anything

he claims to desperately need money but chose to stay in our luxury apartment instead of breaking the lease and having us both live modestly

he attacks me for buying organic groceries or needing winter clothes and then emotionally terrorizes me by breaking into my email account or my livejournal

he told me he wished I ‘would just vanish’

and he’s sitting here, trying to trick other women into fucking him in my bed, in our home, in a place he claims I have no right to and don’t even deserve

if I kill myself this is why, this man took everything from me, my home, my health insurance, my pet, my future, my hope, my clothes, my privacy, my feelings of even being a human, my psychiatrist, my medication that I need to treat my mental illness – everything. everything I had. This man took from me.

My friend has been emotionally abused by her husband for months now and I’m deeply concerned with how this has impacted her mental health, and how he will treat future women he’d interact with considering how he treats the wife he abandoned.

He’s

• Cut her insurance and ability to access affordable mental and physical healthcare.
• Kicked her out of their home with no warning, previous communication and with little time to remove all her possessions.
• Has complete control over her finances and could cut her housing and food budget at any time.
• Does not contact her, keeping the state of their marriage in limbo for her (including the state of her finances and housing), and when they are in contact he mistreats her and then acts like nothing happened.
• Has hidden the fact that he’s married on his okcupid (saying he’s single and seeking short/long term relationships) and on his facebook, from both the public and even from his friends. 
• Kicked his wife out of their home shortly after receiving his residency in the United States.
• Constantly threatens to cut her off due to “how expensive she is”  and how “close he is from his car being repossessed” while living in a high end apartment, has a personal tailor, takes private music lessons and is clearly spending his money on other women as well while knowing that her only option if she were to become homeless in Portland would be to return to her physically abusive family in California.
• While they were together, he would attempt to isolate her from her community and friends by only wanting her to spend time with him and would become upset when she did spend time with people other than him.

Please reblog this so other women in the Portland area know this man is not safe. His okcupid is here. Ask him what happened to his wife, aren’t you married, why are you trying to find other women when you have a wife, etc.

Update:

He just texted her threatening to completely cut her off due to her blocking him on Facebook. This man predates on Women of Color. He’s dangerous to their wellbeing.
