It is an actual ceremony with Tibet and the Dalai Lama though, isn't it? They put a bunch of items on a blanket and if you can pick something out that belonged to the last Dalai Lama, then its a sign you're the reincarnation.

That or cartoons lied to me. :cheeky:


Most STDH stories piss me off or just make me shake my head with how stupid they are. This one though... I dunno you guys. I thought it was sweet. :shobon:

It still bugs me, because the guy should tell his made-up story as an allegory instead of A REAL THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME

Imagine if Aesop had told everyone "Guys, I saw this talking fox and a crow the other day and you'll never believe what happened"

This one's been making the rounds all year, I think it was even posted before. Although it may have been a different Disney mascot back then.

I don't know how this is supposed to be all that inspiring. Our country's mental healthcare is so poor that self-harming children have to look to Disney mascots to finally get some sympathy? gently caress.

Yeah that one is ancient. And people who worked at Disney world all say that the mascots can not touch the customers (I think they can't even if guest passes out or has a heart attack or similar) so there's no way in hell he grabbed her arm or hugged her or kissed and married her or any other variation of this stupid stdh. And fwiw I have a lot of old self-harm scars and other than my doctor, the only time someone accidentally saw them, they gave me a wide-eyed look of horror. They didn't start telling me how I'm so beautiful and whatever.

Actually, scratch that, I'm married to her now.

E: and it's even more bullshit because as a teenager I didn't want anyone to see the scars and would cover them up, if someone saw them I would be mortified and then locked up in a mental institution, and I'm pretty sure that's similar to how most kids who self harm feel. I mean gently caress I got tattoos to cover them up because I don't want people to see them ugh I hate this story so much.

Me: “Welcome to [Restaurant]. What can I get for you?

(The drive-in is very new, and our headsets have pristine hearing.)

Mother: *whispering* “Tell them, ‘one chocolate milkshake.'”

Child: *screaming* “ONE CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE!”

(I nearly fall over as I jerk the headset off my ears. I can still hear talking through them.)

Mother: *whispering* “One vanilla milkshake.”

Child: *screaming* “ONE VANILLA MILKSHAKE!”

Mother: *whispering* “And two strawberry milkshakes.”

Child: *screaming* TWO STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKES!”

Not that the story isn't STDH, but this is a real thing in China. Granted they usually put the stuff and the baby on a table, at least that's what happened at the two "grabbing ceremonies" I've been to.

You Americans are lucky. Canadian radio still plays them all the time. It's not like they have a choice, they're required by law to have a good percent of content be Canadian so naturally, a bunch of lovely bands get way more airspace than they deserve. Especially Hedley. gently caress Hedley.

Backstory: Been going out with this beautiful girl for some months. We have been having good time under the sheets with waves crashing at both ends. But as with women, it takes them a bit longer than the guys. Also, I absolutely love to see the joy on a woman's face after an orgasm. So to increase my karma points I decided equip myself with skills. Read about female anatomy and saw some nice science videos. Decided to bring theory into practical use last night. Success!

I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding what these people say.

This guy says his gf/escort gets frustrated that she doesn't have orgasm, and so some other dude explains that this is bad for the relationship because a woman should care about HIS pleasure first.

That meme baby is the child of an acquaintance of mine and the last time I saw her she said it was actually really cool seeing her kid everywhere, but the only things she didn't like was seeing it used commercially or in support of conservative politics. I suppose now she'll have to add "creepy sex bragging" to the list now. Why the hell would you use an image of a baby for that??
