Look I believe if you want to use an opposite gender restroom feel free and if you want to play the video games feel free and if you want to commit suicide feel free. Live and let live I say.

that guy posted:

But the other day someone had said to me the contemplated suicide. Honestly, I didn't even see the full message, just that I in some way helped. I can't deal with that, honestly. What if in a year that person kills themselves? Am I then responsible for not being engaging enough to keep them interested?

I've asked a few times on my stream that people not donate with those messages. I don't want that on my conscience. And it all comes full circle, back to my mother. That's why I want to see you keep fighting. It may seem like all is lost and everyone around you sees you as a burden, but it's not true. You truly will never know how much you mean to someone until you're not around.
Maybe try saying something like, "Wow, I'm so sorry you went through that and I'm glad you're still with us, keep on keepin' on." instead of "People who commit suicide are selfish pricks" if you really don't want bad poo poo on your conscience, lmao.

Turns out the guy who made and gave him the cakes is also gay and Whole Foods released security footage showing the label was on top of his cake, not on the side as in his picture. Oh and the writing Colour and everything is totally different. And they are going to sue his rear end back into the closet.

This reminds of the2008 Mcain/Pailin volunteer who tried to claim that on Election Day a 6"5 black guy in " Shiny Shoes" robbed her at an ATM and then drew a B on her face with a knife while screaming " You're going to be a Barak supporter bitch!" Drudge and Fox both went wild with stories of Strapping Young Bucks and Thugs intimidating and mutilationg precious, pure, virginal white women. Of course after 2 seconds of questioning her story falls apart completely. She then claim she had amnesia and woke up with a "B" carved on her face, and that her story of being attacked by black men was the the most logical conclusion.

How can you leave out the absolute best part, that the B was backwards because she carved it while looking in a mirror.

Which also brings to mind this woman:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hom-VLfDv4U

who claimed she was the victim of an anti-gay hate crime in which three unknown men broke into her home, beat her, tied her up, cut words into her skin, and vandalized her house before leaving.

Nope.

Some humans respond to an emergency with exceptional clarity and strength. Others drive their Prius into a lake and then wonder if they should just stay in their sinking vehicle.

Yeah, a lot of people go into shock or just can't figure out what to do when presented with a dangerous or even unusual situation. It's actually pretty normal and a huge amount of safety/emergency planning is based around the idea that in the slightest emergency people become temporarily retarded herd animals.

In one of the many videos on YouTube of an icy street with cars just sliding down it and crashing into one big heap at the bottom, there's one where some lady sees the inevitability of what's happening and panics and *gets out of her car*, instantly slipping on the ice and almost getting run over by her own car.

Because taking your chances out on the slippery road with all those sliding chunks of steel is better than riding out a 15 mph crash protected by a big steel cage and a seat belt and airbag.

People are so stupid when it comes to trying to drive their cars through floodwater. Australian senator Barnaby Joyce tried to drive his four wheel drive through a flooded creek where it was bogged down and the engine flooded. Keep in mind that the four wheel drive was tax payer funded and that he says that he had not been acting irresponsibly.
It seriously happens all the goddamn time in Australia

We had someone do almost EXACTLY the same thing in a local Post Office, except it was currency and not gold- they took the money back, his mate told him to take the deal, while out of sight of the staff member, they took out a hundred odd Euros. Gave it back to do the exchange, but the staff member didn't recount it and lost about £100.

Fair play to that guy for double checking.

I hope some goon knows what article I'm talking about but I remember reading an article on a sinking boat where the crew abandoned it. Some appalling low percent of passengers actively tried to help themselves and others. Another percent simply refused help even when offered and the majority of people just milled around like cows until given direction by the first group.

You always think that you'll be the one with the cool head and the plan of action but statistically you'll be the cattle.
