Morkyz posted:Alright. It all started about 2 years ago at a lake. My best friend and her brothers were swimming to the middle of the lake because there was a pier they could sit on. So one brother already made it there. And my best friend was almost there, but her OTHER brother suddenly gave out and had trouble swimming. So she swam back to him and tried to pull him with her, but he kept struggling and accidentally kept pulling her underwater with him. So he said, "Lexie, LET GO OF MY HAND! You can't go with me!" And she kept refusing to go and said, "No, Nathan! You're my older brother, and I can't leave you to die alone! Please let me die instead!" and Nathan kept telling Lexie to let go of his hand. She kept refusing to let go, so he said, "Goodbye, Lexie! Swim to the pier where Levi is!" and he let go of her. He drowned within seconds. Lexie STILL beats HERSELF UP over this. She always writes "N.P.H. Love Like Crazy" on her wrist. That's his initials and a song that describes him well. I keep telling her that it was nobody's fault and maybe it was just his time to go. And it just still makes me upset because this guy was like a brother to me, and I still can't believe he's gone from our lives... Ugh how do you make a tragic drowning seem so mundane and stupid? edit: found something juicy, with bonus casual racism. reddit posted:When I was in the 3rd grade, there were a bunch of notorious bullies. A bunch of 6th grade girls who thought they were hot poo poo. They were always pushing the little kids in elementary around, shoving them out of their way and generally making their lives miserable. silencekit has a new favorite as of 18:20 on Jun 13, 2014 |

Non Servian, when you go on a casual date are you marrying someone? Do you even know what 'casual' means?

If he was going to make it up, he should have said the kid was practicing punches and kicks or just martial arts. As is, the Japanese kid could have been practicing to be a rockette.

Maybe he wouldn't have drowned if he and his sister hadn't had a long-rear end conversation about drowning while they were in the middle of the loving lake drowning.

Whenever i'm readin these stories i serously think of a bunch of Mojo Jojo's trying to talk to each other. Especially the ones where the protagonist knows martial arts of some kind so they act like a poltce robot or something "Beep boop this is your final warning, do not insult/threaten/grab me again or i will be forced to use

If only he hadn't drowned in seconds because that's totally how drowning works. If air flow to the lungs is cut off you die immediately, no amount of CPR will help. True fact.

Cursed Lumberjack posted:If only he hadn't drowned in seconds because that's totally how drowning works. CPR doesn't do jack poo poo if you're drowning. CPR is meant to keep oxygen to your brain until real medical help arrives. Look up CPR success rates. It can keep you from being a vegetable if the ambulance is 10 minutes out, but it won't do gently caress all if no help is quickly forthcoming.

If you're older than 30, then you basically grew up in like the 1600's, can't figure out technology and treat women like poo poo. If that guy were 60, he would have grown up right in the '60s during the counter-culture revolution. I've also never known what any of my co-workers make or what's in their contract.

A woman I know at school was telling me this hilarious story of what she did in grade school. They were having their first sex ed class and the teacher tells them how much glucose is in sperm. And my friend totally, absolutely raised her hand and asked "Then why does it taste so salty?" It took every once of my being not to interrupt her and say the punch line myself. But everyone around me thought it was pretty hilarious and totally something that happened.

If that guy were 60, he would have grown up right in the '60s during the counter-culture revolution. I dunno, a lot of people in the counter-culture were pretty sexist: lots of second-wave feminist organizations were founded by women who split off from New Left groups that wouldn't give them a platform, and there was this whole idea that being sexually liberated meant being willing to have sex with anyone who requested it (if you wouldn't, then you must have been a "prude" or had "hang-ups" about sex). It doesn't prove the story happened, but I can easily see a man in his 60s believing that groping is a perfectly harmless - even friendly! - practice.

Knormal posted:In high school that's an amusing urban legend, in grade school if a kid said that I'd hope the police would get involved. I didn't ask how old she supposedly was, just that it was "first sex ed class". I know in some schools they start sex ed in kindergarden, but they absolutely do not discuss semen, etc; it's more stranger danger and 'don't let people touch you in your swimsuit region'. My first sex ed, however, was in middle school. Still pretty young to know how semen tastes, imo. But as you said, this is a popular urban legend and not something worth fact checking. Edit: Thinking back on it, she might not have specifically said "grade school' but I remember the gist of the story was that she was young and I might have just inferred grade school. into the void has a new favorite as of 02:18 on Jun 17, 2014 |

This redditor received 47 upvotes for this nice little story about him being bothered by drivers while riding a motorcycle. quote:A guy driving a lifted dodge did that to me on my bike when I stopped at a red light the other day, and I think it was only because he saw I had my GoPro on. Literally 4 feet from his exhaust pipe and he just loving rolled coal on me for like 5 seconds. He was such a loving oval office.
