  • On an episode of a hospital-based show, a little girl (like, 8 or 10) drowns in a pool and effort to resuscitate fail. That didn't get me, even with the parents crying. The girl has a sister, who is making a card for the girl who has already been declared dead. Sad, but didn't get me. Sister explains that the girl died saving her, since she fell in the neighbor's pool trying to get a ball, and the sister jumped in, pushed the sister out, and then couldn't get out herself, and eventually drowned.

    And I got slammed with a real-life memory. I work in Search and Rescue, and one case my station had over a decade ago was a pair of children that got swept out to sea. Only the younger brother survived. Because the sister spent the whole time keeping him above water, and ended up exhausting and drowning herself. I try not to think about it, because it fucks me up really bad, and especially because now I have a daughter and a younger son. That scene dredged that up real hard, real fast.

  • Pro tip for you:

    Ask for Cocoa Fudge with your Heath Blizzard instead of chocolate sauce. Even better, Cocoa Fudge with a small splash of cappuccino. Makes it way better.

  • In English, orange is essentiall "orange red," as in "red like an orange." Prior to oranges making their way to Europe, the color we refer to as "orange" was red, or yellow-red. Hence people with orange hair being called "red-heads."

  • Bisexual people: Is it okay for me to have friends?

    Not everybody is a potential sexual partner. Having friends of any gender is fine. If you start getting any non-platonic feelings, take a step back. If your friend starts getting (or demonstrating) non-platonic feelings, take a step back.

  • Neither of those articles supports what you are saying. The first one, about sexual assault, says in big, bold letters that men are less likely to report sexual assault. The argument was not that more violence is committed against men (sexual assaults at the very least are obviously not), it's that men are less likely to report it when it happens, which is exactly what your article said. It also said women under-report. But just because women also under-report doesn't mean they under-report at a higher rate than men.

  • Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?

    Jump

  • Seriously. There is no reason to believe in something that not only isn't proven to exist, but can't. That argument could be applied to nearly anything.

    Vampires? Can't prove they don't exist, so may as well believe in them.

    Fairies? Same.

    Flying spaghetti monster? Prove it doesn't exist.

    Like, I don't want to knock other people's religions, and I'm not so arrogant as to think I have all the answers, but I just can't stand the "you can't prove XXXX doesn't exist" argument.

  • I feel like the middle-aged guy that I am, because it keeps suggesting lawncare, forging ("can I melt and cast himilayan salt rocks?" He did, it was fantastic), silly engineering ("I'm going to see if I can 3d print a rifle that will make a nerf dart break the speed of sound..."), dnd (I don't even play dnd, and i still enjoy the videos), and Jon Stewart. And... a weird mix of civil rights people showing bad behavior of police, and police supporter showing bad behavior of people (honestly both are entertaining, because police are awful and so are people).

    But it doesn't even try for that right-wing bullshit.

  • If I had the choice of the Yaris or another car, I would choose the other car. Because driving that car would make me at least low-level angry for the time I had it.

  • Some absurd scare tactic to not allow women to vote

    Jump

  • Interesting that allowing women to vote created a situation where women felt it less absolutely necessary to get married. Because after a while, their voice had to be considered when discussing bills like prohibiting banks from refusing bank accounts, home loans, and credit cards to women.

  • The Yaris ads did this to me. I got so pissed off by their "It's a car" commercials that I absolutely despised the product.

  • For every state that is below Alaska...

    Have you seen Alaska? Have you spent time there? Alaska is crazy dangerous! How bad must your healthcare be that the constant threat of the entire environment being against you doesn't win out for short life expectancy?!

    And Mississippi, just... be better.

  • A book that I got as part of a birthday present when I was in middle school had a passage where a man's long-lost sister (who was part monster, but was painstakingly described as very attractive) told him that either he had to impregnate her the old-fashioned way, or she would simply get a syringe, extract sperm from his testicles, and impregnate herself that way to create, if I remember correctly, a monster that would end the world or something. It was labeled as "Young Adult" level.

    So, like, probably something like that.
