Am I better than you, yet?

Listen
When “Pokemon” was first released in Japan, there was an odd phenomenon between children ages 7-12, particularly in those using headphones to listen to the sound effects. Increase of nosebleeds, irritability, insomnia, and addiction to the game, playing for hours and hours on end and crying to the point of vomiting when the opportunity was taken away.
Roughly 70% of these cases ended in suicide.
In almost every case of the aforementioned symptoms, despite gameplay time recorded to the limit of the internal clock, the game had not progressed further than “Lavender Town”.
A closer analysis of the game revealed a tone in the audio of the music for “Lavender Town” at a pitch undetectable by fully developed human ear drums. Within weeks every unsold copy of the “first edition” the game were recalled silently and the game was re-released with re-mastered audio for “Lavender Town”.
The widely known version is said to be missing three extra tones, as well as the unique, binaural tone of the first edition, although this is unconfirmed due to the rarity of working first edition copies; in the known few that remain, the internal clock and ‘battery save’ have all timed out and ceased function, and in many cases the game will freeze upon entering any battle.
The audio post above is the original file that was heard by these children.
My English teacher/student teacher will look directly at me when my hand is raised and no one else has theirs raised, smile, and chose someone who wasn’t raising their hand.
like i know teachers are supposed to that but she like never calls on me to answer a question how rude
;-;
my math teacher does the same thing
oh man welcome to my entire school life
once in Spec Maths in year 12 the teacher was telling us which problems we had to do and he’s like “now it’s probably gonna take you a while to work this one out” and then he goes “except Tom will probably know it immediately” with like an exasperated throw-hands-in-the-air gesture
man I miss maths
gotta do more maths
smart people problems
I feel so weird about reading the above stuff, because I empathise, but I didn’t know I wasn’t alone.
If you can’t name at least 10 Pokemon from the first season, I can’t date you.
If you refer to generations as seasons, I can’t date you.
lunch break, spent convincing Gary he should watch kill bill. also… this morning had been terrible, I dropped a ladder on my knuckle and dropped a bottle of baby shampoo, nozzle side down in my shoe, needless to say, instead of buying lunch, I instead bought new tights, due to mine being SOAKED. This day can only get better.
what a fantastic word
Mudita (Pāli and Sanskrit: मुदित) in Buddhism is joy. It is especially sympathetic or vicarious joy, the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people’s well-being rather than begrudging it.[1] The traditional paradigmatic example of this mind-state is the attitude of a parent observing a growing child’s accomplishments and successes, but it is not to be confounded with proudness as the person feeling mudita must not have any interest or direct income from the accomplishments of the other.
