“I have never been able to properly explain myself in this climate.”
I just noticed the floor drain in the OP photo and my theory is only strengthened by that detail.

Made a shitty sketch of how this works: the panel wall is hinge-mounted on a top board and hangs against the baseboard, allowing the shitty little knife-wielding guy who lives back there access to bathroom users that he can drag back and dismember under the glow of fluorescent lights.

Yeah I’m just trying to account for the specifics of how it fucked me up. I would guess I was somewhere in the 8-9 range and an extra year or two didn’t provide meaningful extra cushion.

On my end, zero parental concern vocalized before Pyle painted that wall, which honestly made it worse.

Was it the contrast of the white tile heightening the gore? The queasy shift in tone and sympathy that sets the stage for it? Either way, it’s my answer, too.

Fire Weather by John Vaillant has a great discussion of the subject, explaining how the flammability of the contents of the average suburban home required Canadian firefighters to bulldoze homes to create firebreaks once the 2016 Fort McMurray fire was spreading through suburban neighborhoods.

The thriving medieval trade in wooden fragments of the “true cross” led many historians to discount their authenticity based upon collective volume of the purported relics, but they failed to consider that it takes an exceptionally large and sturdy cross to crucify an elephant.

What a huge relief to see his reign of malpractice at an end.

It’s a squeeze at the margins but with a tight market already and limited housing supply in a lot of places, I think people’s resentment is justifiable.

Yeah the crux of the issue is, imo, mostly the COVID-era twin phenomena of low interest rates (for people buying investment properties) and the floundering commercial real estate market (sending private equity and REITs into residential property to diversify).

Also: how fast that last punch is moving at the instant it connects, to the extent that the slow-motion feels momentarily insufficient.
