The cartoons predicted this:
It’s always Alex Hirsch
I’m not saying that isn’t awful… Just it’s also funny
““I knew from his cry, in the look on his face, that something had happened.” The mom has a sharp eye there. I don’t know I’d be able to tell that there was something wrong with a crying child.
Also, does recording on video count as breaking the first rule?
You get to know what’s a real “I’m hurt really bad” cry from “I’m scared” or “I didn’t get what I want” etc. for your kids.
Also, yes.
My youngest is autistic and not very verbal, I’ve become very good at reading his cries and noises.
the first rule is “nobody talks about fight club.” nobody said anything about recording it and posting it on youtube.
I guess they didn’t have YouTube back then.
Apparently Project Mayhem failed to prevent Youtube from happening.
The cries are very different, so are the barks of a dog. But that’s something you learn with time. I understand my kids and my dog perfectly, at the same time I have no idea what other kids or dogs try to say. A communication form that is uniquely shaped in the family.
“You met me at a very strange time in my life.”
“Babies don’t sleep this well.”
This story looks like bullshit. Nevermind the meandering structure or the AI ‘verbal’ tics - the “original story” source is a reddit link.
AGAIN‽
There was one of these in Arkansas last year, right?
Oh, one in NJ in 2015: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/child-fight-club-lightbridge-academy/
This must have been where south park got the idea for the crack baby gladiator fights episode where EA sports bought the franchise then cheated the kids out of their cut.
I just looked it up and the south park episode is 4 years older than the story from 2015
I haven’t watched South Park regularly in awhile. I should watch that it sounds like a good episode.
It’s actually a pretty old episode. “Crack Baby Athletic Association”
His name is Wobert Pauwson.
Alright, who broke the first two rules!?
To all the other people wondering “again” …yeah me too. How are there so many childcare workers like this?
Low pay and shitty corporate conduct doesn’t exactly encourage the most compassionate people to apply, sadly
Part of the problem is that when you work with children there’s always a moment that makes you consider it. When 3 or 4 are going off on one at the same time there’s just a second where it comes to mind before you dismiss it as unreasonable.
When you’re low paid and have shitty management those times tend to be a lot more common and you have fewer tools to deal with them. Eventually, when you run out of reasonable alternatives, it starts to look a lot less unreasonable.
Can’t have fun these days
The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.
So the crack baby fights on South Park inspired folks?
there was a Blue Jam sketch about this in the 90s…
