La Croix key lime sparkling water

It's funky. Last week when I tried it for the first time I thought - this is funky and I don't know if I like it. I had two more cans that day. And I've had many more cans since then.

Mango is so good but hard to find. I haven't seen watermelon in a while I will have to try it next time I see it

[–] shallot@hexbear.net 2 points 16 hours ago

You may have ONE. And I like them because sometimes you just want something sweet but don't want to eat sweets.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

and you have to eat like 30 of them to have "too many" and it's tough to do that even if you chain them

The manga/anime eyes are interesting. I wonder how long even normies outside of Japan have known that in this case they mean "very tart".

Spoilers

I googled. In the beforetimes - I might have bookmarked the Imdb page and maybe watched the movie later. But since 2017 - nearly 100% of what I watch is escapism. I need to escape. Still - it's a fascinating story. It's a shame the 1915 uprising didn't change things and school was still awful until 1953.

Bastøy Boys' Home insurrection

Before the current prison, the island was occupied by a juvenile detention centre, Bastøy Boys' Home. The Norwegian government purchased the island in 1898 for 95,000 kroner, and the reformatory opened in 1900. In 1915, it was the site of an insurrection by the boys which was suppressed by the Norwegian military; this event was later dramatised in the 2010 film, King of Devil's Island. The Boys' Home was taken over by the Norwegian government in 1953 and shut down in 1970.

The rebellion occurred on 20 May 1915, when between 30 and 40 boys rallied around four youths who had escaped and been recaptured. The group refused to work, armed themselves with farming tools and stones, cut the telephone lines and then burned down the barn with stolen matches and cigars. The same barn had been burned down two years before.

When instructors and guards failed to quell the riot, the military was called in. Over a hundred troops stormed the island. Also on scene were two seaplanes, two submarines, and the armored ship "Norway" from the naval base Karljohansvern in Horten. Several of the boys escaped into the forest but were later recaptured. Officials identified the ringleader of the rioters as a newly arrived 18-year-old "gypsy boy" plumbing apprentice from Christiania. Three others were identified as his accomplices.

The 1915 uprising did not end the school's strict disciplinarian methods which continued until 1953 when the Ministry of Social Affairs took over operations. The school was shut down on 1 October 1970.
