RE: Fearless Cold Shower Motivation
I like this... I have (very sporadically) engaged in cold showering--usually as, just as you say, a "test" of my courage and will power. It's also one of those weird "pleasure from pain" kind of things; almost masochistic in a way..
It's funny you say that. You should watch The Black Mirror episode called Black Museum on season 4.
That episode was based off Penn Jillette's short story about a pain addict. https://heavy.com/entertainment/2017/12/penn-jilette-pain-addict-black-mirror-museum-buy/
Funny you should say that... I love that show lol. Especially this latest season, which is the best, imo.. And, if I remember correctly, it's the fear he truly craves, right? (which is why hurting himself is not effective). My favorite episode is episode three: "Crocodile." omg.
Well at first he craves the pain but then it's not enough so he starts craving the pain plus the fear. Crocodile was eerie. I figured she would start covering her tracks by having to keep killing but eventually it seems to infer she got caught.
Definitely. That was the whole twist with what was it... some animal at the and--the rabbit! Remember the rabbit the insurance woman's husband brought home--they implied they would be able to read its mind I think it was. But yeah, the length she was willing to go to; how she kept killing everyone... man, that was messed up.
Yeah... that article is kind of confusing. The episode about the pain addict is the foirst episode; not the one entitled "Black Museum," which is the last episode, and about something entirely different...
Black museum has 3 different stories weaved into it. The writer is brilliant.
Yes, that one had many different twist and turns... I thought the end was so sweet how she gets that bastard--I did not see that comin lol. That was great. Going back to "Crocodile," though--there was actually an episdoe in an earlier season--do you remember? It was some kind of deal where people were being blackmailed by some unknown figure who was making people to perform increasingly crazy stunts to keep their secrets. A teenage boy gets filmed watching some kind of illegal porn or something like that--and he's supposed to rob a bank or he'll be revealed.. very similar to "Crocodile"
