    I remember reading that trauma brain is a product of evolution. The ones that vividly remembered trauma were better equipped to avoid it compared to ones who’s trauma memories were more fuzzy. If I remember the trauma caused by a predator I avoid it. If I kind of remember something about that predator that’s creeping up… What was it? I’m dead. You can’t have sex if you are dead. If you can’t have sex you don’t pass on your traits. Trauma brain avoided the danger so they get to have sex and pass that trauma brain trait on to their offspring.

    And here we are. All the fun times are fading with time, but when Jimmy Meltrigger heard you cut the cheese? Always and forever as clear as day. And Barry Watnick! “I can remember it like it was yesterday, that creep Barry Watnick stole my diary.”

    I worked with Arabs at a gyro cafe off and on for 5ish years. Jordanian, Iraqi, Saudi, Kuwaiti, Egyptian, some religious, some meh, one atheist. I have heard some wild shit. I’ve seen some garbage imams and heard their worthless ideas. These people exist just like crazy evangelical Christians. The only thing that makes me raise an eyebrow is the volume of garbage I read. It doesn’t reflect the ratio of normal to crazy that I encountered between my co-workers, their families, and friends I would meet. It makes me wonder how much troll farms play a role. Russia has something to gain from making the world hate Muslims. Israel has something to gain from the world hating Muslims. Both are really good at propaganda. Some of this stuff deserves a hard side eye squint because there is no doubt there are bad actors involved trying to sway the public.
