    I'm just out of dinner. (But when you posted, I was indeed quite hungry.) TPBM has way too much work these days

    yeah you were the last poster of this thread when cloudflare broke down therefore, the only reasonable conclusion is that you killed cloudflare so we couldn't access the shard and post, making you the eternal winner of this thread your evil plans have been foiled though SURRENDER

    It was earlier, from about 11 hours ago till the time Skye posted. Just type cloudflare in your favourite search engine, you'll see. (Though, you know, you should be already aware since you caused it )

    Well.

    Today is the day.

    10 years ago, at around this time, ten armed madmen started spreading death through Paris and Saint-Denis, leaving 132 dead in their wake, hundreds more wounded, thousands traumatized, and millions in shock.

    Killed for enjoying life, going to music shows, or just having fun evening with friends at a restaurant or a café

     

    I was a child then, I didn't understand all of what had happened then

    It probably took me years to fully realize the sheer horror of it

    (My parents wisely kept me away from the images, in fact I don't think I saw any up until earlier today)

    But I remember the days after

    My parents pulling me and my brother in the kitchen the next day, explaining to us "Listen, there's been a terrorist attack in Paris, lots of people have been killed"

    We didn't really know what to make of it

    Yet another minute of silence when returning to class on Monday, so soon after Charlie Hebdo

    The teachers trying to talk with us about what had happened, themselves very shocked obviously

    The flags raised everywhere, the little placards proclaiming state of emergency often near

     

    And now?

    Where are we, ten years later?

    No one can tell

    We cried and raged and fought

    We made justice for our dead and wounded

    But we kept going on

    We still go to concerts and restaurants

    French national team is playing again today

    We kept living

     

    I'll end by transcribing part of the speech of Arthur Dénouveaux, president of Life for Paris, an association of survivors, in today's ceremonies:

    Spoiler

    I would have liked to tell you that hope carried us, but it is wrong, it traces no path. In the end, us, the victims, have nothing to offer you but a demand. To live in society according to the values that made France and its democracy a model.

    We have no cure against the claustrophobia of this present, that the past lights no more and whose future seems elusive.

    But we learned one thing. You only defend well what you love. Defending life in its most beautiful is refusing to give in to fear. Refusing to believe that one can go further alone than together. And refusing to believe that one can refrain from thinking. But it is also and most of all far more than to refuse, it's to love. To love humor, to love transmission, to love each other. [...]

    I believe that you should not wish to leave a better world to your children, you should fight every day to live in a better world with them. Now and relentlessly, not give in to anything, relativize nothing. The 132 names behind me tell me with much more strength, life is so fragile, you have to love it.

      That’s something I really like about the French. (In my French class, they taught us a few cultural things as well as the language.) You remember what happened. You can still see things from WWII and other important things like that in everyday life, constantly. You honor the past while striving towards a greater future.

    Well, let's go back to the basics Looking at various definitions of bullying online, you can sum it up as: hostile behaviour (physically, verbally, or other) aiming to bring down the recipient repeated over time Is it what is happening? If yes, that is bullying. And you should probably try to mention it to teachers. I know they arent always great at dealing with this, but either it works and they do help, or they do nothing. So it can't make it worse, and it can help to stop it before it gets really really bad Because the longer this goes on, the more of an impact on your mental wellbeing this has

    Tbf I do take a while to get out of bed It's so early in part so that I am up at the time I need to
  10. Throw TheLiving Silverware
    My brain right now: "okay Coder shouldn't punch them cause it will make things worse, but how would it go if I punched them?" more seriously, try to pretend they don't exist those idiots live for attention, so not giving it to them is the best way to annoy them It's hard but it usually works *more hugs*
  11. Throw TheLiving Silverware
    How I have trouble enough with my 6:20 and that's just some days I commend your bravery
  12. Throw TheLiving Silverware
    *hugs so hard* I understand I don't really know what to say to you, but I understand *long tight squeeze* *big hug* Don't I mean I'd understand, but others won't

    Not a very well known song A great one nonetheless (Most of the time my title is a song lyric I related too, sometimes with a twist) Oooh cool What stories do you have to tell 9.4/10

    *huuuuuuugs* Completely understandable Not a good idea, but understandable Completely agree with Hoid Slayer here, you need to win your community over to your pov You can completely be angry, but channel that into coldly angry and reasonable words As a last resort, you could try to go to court (or just threaten it, it might be scary enough for them to make them move), so maybe look up laws of your country/state but thats for if all else fails You deserve better than this Way way better *big big hug* People above me have said all the good stuff Try to find something to do, someone to call, if the urges become too great It sucks to have relapsed, especially after so long. But it happened, and you can't change it, so don't beat yourself over it. It's a completely understandable response to lots of troubled emotions you were feeling. Not a good one, but understandable. And thanks for telling us; this was really, really brave, and we are honored that you trusted us enough to tell us that *more hugs*

    Yes books! and dragons! Yeah about that I saw it circulating online and found it cool, but much later I tried to find which book it was in and everything would redirect me to a weird self help book (not by TP) which apparently attributes this quote to him meanwhile I found very similar quotes attributed to people who lived well before TP, such as Simón Bolívar So I have doubts Sorry

    Give a man a fire, and he will be warm for one day. But set fire to him, and he's warm for the rest of his life. -Sun Tzu, The Art of War It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country. This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind. -Sun Tzu, The Art of War When outnumbered, outweaponed, and outpositioned, don't fight a battle. -Sun Tzu, The Art of War

    He looks around, and makes sure there's no human-like noise around. Then he chooses a tree that seemed tall and think enough, with branches all the way up, and starts climbing it.
