    Humans are largely human because we are terrible “one-trial learners.” We twist the tiger’s tail until it turns on us. We don’t learn. We come back to twist the tiger’s tail some more.

      i’d more say it’s just that there’s always some other guy who goes “yeah well they twisted the tiger’s tail but… i haven’t twisted the tiger’s tail so maybe it’ll be different for me?”

      then fucking somehow the tiger only smacks him on the head while making a funny face, he finds this fucking hilarious and does it again, gets his friends to do it, and now you have a group of dudes ooking like chimps while getting progressively more concussed while everyone else watches on with weary expressions knowing that this is just going to be a thing some people do from now on…

      Speak for yourself. I never twisted any tiger’s tail but neither do I judge you for your kink
