People are submitting repeat secrets and non-fandom secrets. If you are not even a troll, please consider not making those secrets.

There is no animal abuse anon. It's a troll lie created by Electronic Foundation; there's always a "deleted comment" every time. It's a fraud.

Is this a “newcomers to the fandom are unknowingly retreading well-worn ground” sort of thing?

I know nothing about American football but this is definitely a sports fandom thing the world over. Presumably the team in the secret is doing well and then suddenly it's a big conspiracy! The refs are in on it!

[(Anonymous)]

if you're looking to social media for sane takes on football, that's a you problem.

I went to school in Green Bay in the 90s. I know from stupid football fandom. I lived it. I knew Ken Reuttgers and Beebe and a few others personally. It's never as deep as anyone in media would make it. Social media is even stupider. Just don't go there. Don't. That way lies stupidity, even more stupidity than the guy in the bar on a Sunday afternoon.

I am pretty sure 90% of fans "think" the refs are "favoring the other team" at any given moment

I think you're allowed to have been a bit ignorant, you were seven.

Plenty of adults don't know much about epilepsy. I'm in my late 30s and, at work, we once got a manager with epilepsy. He went through the whole thing with it and asked what we should do if he had a seizure at work.

I was the only person who didn't give a "stupid" answer to any question.

Other answers included holding his tongue down so he doesn't swallow it (good way to get your fingers bitten off, also you cannot swallow your tongue), hold it down with a spoon (good way to break his teeth), hold him still while he seizes, etc etc. None of these are really stupid answers, but they speak of a lack of education on the subject.

I knew all the right answers (make sure he can't hit himself on anything, move things from around him, put him in the recovery position when he's stopped, call an ambulance, don't be offended or weirded out by anything he might say in the postictal state) ... why? Because my grandmother was epileptic. It was a risk for me growing up. People without exposure to that just don't know about what you do, what happens, what to expect. Whole-ass adults. My youngest colleague at that time was 23, the oldest is older than me.

Nobody could possibly consider a seven year old kid stupid for misconstruing a book. You've got no reason to feel any shame, OP.

I wonder if kids whose parents shelter them from the existence of say, gay people for example, think gayness is just some fictional fantasy thing when/if they were to stumble upon a book about growing up gay

I did, LOL.

THIS BOOK

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't thought about this book in forever. I had such a weird love/hate for it. I had epilepsy as a kid and I also hated reading, so my parents tried to get me books that I would ~relate to~ and this book was one of them. I hated it. I hated having epilepsy, and I hated that there was a book out there with my hated experience in it.

But there was also a part of me that it was really really important to. I was the only person I knew growing up with seizures, and 90% of my seizures were really really embarrassing and the whole experience was just very isolating. This book made me feel like not such a freak.

Sorry, this isn't really on topic. But man just seeing this book brought back so many memories and emotions. Wild.

[(Anonymous)]

I was sheltered and have definitely had similar experiences while reading. My brain either glossed over or just plain forgot things I had no frame of reference to understand.

I mean, isn't that a good thing? She read as a woman to you and you never had a reason to question it. It seems to me that that would be an example of good trans rep - a trans character who exists and is trans and it's never made a big deal of.

Totally agree. I really dislike Elliot and think Barba would be so much better for her...I hate the way things ended with them.

But honestly, these days I'm way more invested in Rollins and Carisi and don't really care about Olivia's love life. Outside of Barba, I always liked her interactions with Trevor Langan/her RL husband...just anyone but Elliot Stabler, honestly.

What's a detail in a book or show that you missed? And do you think it was kept intentionally vague, or did you just miss it?

Lotta people in LA who bitched about "the homeless" about to find out just how little of a choice or moral failing it is to be homeless, and how hard it is to become housed again. And they are gonna go on the internet and complain about assumptions on homelessness, expecting people to listen to them as if they weren't filthy shiftless feckless homeless people. I'm anticipating a lot of schadenfreude over this.

It is like the COVID long haulers who used to be the people complaining about the shiftless, feckless, lazy bums on sickness benefits, but as soon as they got long covid they expected everyone to listen to them about what sickness benefit life was really like. Then they found out nobody was listening to them, because they were no longer nice privileged middle class working folk, just bums on benefits. God, that was a hilarious thing to watch.

This is gonna be gud. Always nice to see the middle class get broken like this.
