Schadenfreude noun. /ˈʃɑːdnfrɔɪdə/ /ˈʃɑːdnfrɔɪdə/ [uncountable] (from German) a feeling of pleasure at the bad things that happen to other people. Previous Thread We all love the classics: rope swings, premature celebrations, cat chaos, Ow! My Balls, cooking fails, dash cams, children falling over, people acting like they’re on Jackass, etc. The general vibe is a slightly meaner, edgier AFV. What we do NOT love is anything graphic resulting in death or near-death injury (unless you have an article that says something like, “Miraculously, she survived the collision with only minor injuries”), any kind of abuse to humans or animals, political stuff that leads to derails, or bloodlust. If you have any concerns that someone has posted content that breaks those guidelines, please report the post or message a mod. A lot of people in the previous thread requested the scripts that automatically resize posts, so here they are: Swilo posted:

In 1994, German publisher Heyne lost the rights to publish their translations of Terry Pratchett's work. Why? Because they inserted an ad for loving SOUP into the text. https://gmkeros.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/terry-pratchett-and-the-maggi-soup-adverts/quote:There were a number of reasons for switching to Goldmann, but a deeply personal one for me was the way Heyne (in Sourcery, I think, although it may have been in other books) inserted a soup advert in the text … a few black lines and then something like ‘Around about now our heroes must be pretty hungry and what better than a nourishing bowl’… etc, etc. My editor was pretty sick about it, but the company wouldn’t promise not to do it again, so that made it very easy to leave them. They did it to Iain Banks, too, and apparently at a con he tore out the offending page and ate it. Without croutons.

bossy lady posted:Every time this happens I have to wonder how the hell people get away with this for so long considering how easy it is to discredit. Most of the time all someone would have had to do was talk to like one family member who would tell them "Nah, she's Italian as hell". If you read the story, multiple family members did! Other people noticed, too. She ran into her (light haired) brother while with a PBS executive, and the PBS exec later contacted her brother to ask if they were full blood siblings.

Violet_Sky posted:https://twitter.com/ahitposter/status/1721491507566596564 Photokeratitis is MAYBE a couple thousand dollars worth of treatment, and that's only if it turned into a corneal ulcer and needed an amniotic graft or something. Otherwise I'd guess it's just a few hundred dollars.

CainFortea posted:*Offer not valid in the US That is actually the US cost without insurance (if you go to a clinic and not the ER)! I have been doing billing for corneal ophthalmology for a decade. Mild keratitis is like two office visits and some fancy artificial tears. It shouldn't financially ruin you.

FreudianSlippers posted:I had a Ilizarov frame a couple times for non-lengthening reasons and there was some excruciating pain involved when those pins were tightened. I also still get infections in the scars left by the pins. This procedure uses an internal femur nail, not an Ilizarov frame, so at least they don't have to deal with that. Leg lengthening is cool procedure when medically necessary. This girl went from 3'10" with severely bowed legs to 4'11", and she also had her arms done and gained 4 inches there, too. She had to use Ilizarov frames (there are some pictures in the article). The internal nail sounds like it would be a great option for people like her. https://www.limblength.org/patient-stories/chandler/

About a year ago, football player Damar Hamlin's heart stopped after a routine tackle that hit him exactly the wrong way. He keeled over immediately like he was dead (luckily they were able to restart his heart and get him to the hospital and he recovered fully). It was obvious he wasn't going to be walking it off. Here is the video, which is quite shocking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1Z9Vd53yhI
