Is the "Blue Whale" game killing kids?

I look into this as I look into other rumors and what I have found while disturbing, in reality, is just a rumor. For example, there has not been any verification of a person who has played the game and died ( well you can quote the internet... but....) Most children who have committed suicide, we're already suicidal, to begin with, and these kids have posted in advance that they were suicidal way before they ran into or discovered the game.

The Posting on social media about "blue whale" has the intent to direct parents to look out for their children and to make sure that they are aware of what their children are doing on the internet through their electronic devices. This is called "social engineering" Many parents really don't watch their children as they go online on their devices but when they see a rumor like this they rapidly do so. They also know that their kids might be depressed and have attempted suicide before.

Of course when a child does commit suicide, it very easy for a parent to place the blame on somebody else due to their own neglect

Now here is the downside, individuals who post warnings on their social media accounts may already suffer from depression and some may have Suicidal Thoughts or do not think well of themselves and they are attracted to these type of notices and they rapidly publish them on their timeline as a warning to others. What they really are doing is spreading the knowledge of such games that exists and when kids read these notices they will look into this and they may actually play the game themselves. In other words, one may be spreading info to others who is already suicidal and will commit suicide. The best thing to do is not to spread rumors like these if one can not verify them. Why give people who are depressed a tool to commit suicide by omission? yeah I know it is your timeline to post anything you like but think very carefully on what you desire to post regarding such unverifiable issues that can be dangerous and it will cease to be a rumor any longer.

  1. Maybe a paraphrase of Willie Nelson says it all...

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 🎬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may

Asimov's Foundation and Philosophy

  The essays in Asimov's Foundation and Philosophy are engaging and thought-provoking, and they offer new insights into one of the most influential science fiction series of all time. Here are some of the key philosophical themes that emerge from the essays: The ethics of manipulation: One of the central questions raised by the Foundation series is whether it is ethical to manipulate large populations of people in order to bring about a desired future result. Hari Seldon, the fictional founder of the Foundation, uses psychohistory, a science that can predict the future of large populations, to plan for the collapse of the Galactic Empire and the subsequent Dark Age. He does this in order to ensure that human civilization survives and eventually rebuilds. However, some people argue that Seldon's manipulation of the future is unethical, even if it is for a good cause. Free will vs. determinism: The Foundation series also raises the question of whether humans have free will or whe
