You could get upset to the same degree someone gave your child an unsolicited popsicle. The "without their permission" part is the hosed up part. Even when dosed correctly, which almost none of the general public knows how to do, melatonin at best suggests that you fall asleep. The article makes it sound like chloroform.

Yeah the whole "she endangered the kids with melatonin!" thing is overblown. The rest of the poo poo she pulled was was more of a problem.

Nitrogen is actually a pretty humane way of execution. It doesn't trigger any suffocation reflex. It's just one minute everything feels normal, and then lights out.

I mean if we absolutely have to kill someone, displacing oxygen with nitrogen is probably the most painless method.

Same. Better than stabbing someone with a ton of needles and poo poo. At least they wouldn't feel any pain.

Thanks, I appreciate the clarification. You can't really blame soldiers for acting under orders.

I don't know about that, present-day soldiers know they're signing up to follow any and all orders. It's not like they're unaware they're going to be asked to do things that will possibly be terrible. Don't want to murder people you may think are innocent? Don't join an army.

E: Then again recruiters are partially to blame for soldiers being unaware of how bad war is. They really sugar-coat everything.

I feel like letting people join a military straight out of their parents' home and school is terrible (but obviously great for a country that wants to fight everyone.) I bet a lot less would join if they had to wait and got to experience 18-21 and living on their own and whatnot first. After being able to do whatever I want I'd never want to go back to getting orders.

As far as the baby thing goes why not just do what the poster on the last page said and leave one-- or better yet, both-- shoes in the back seat with the baby? No one forgets shoes and even if you did some jackass out there would be keen on pointing it out to you asap anyway.

It sounds similar to the Kendrick Johnson case, which has been mentioned a few times before. (The link is possibly :nms: as you can see a bit of Johnson's body.)

The most likely scenario with Johnson is that he, like others in Lowndes High gym classes, stuck his shoes on top or just inside of a rolled up wrestling mat (the mat standing vertically). The shoes fell inside and Johnson climbed atop the mat and then in the center of it to retrieve the shoes. Johnson became stuck and asphyxiated.

The case has unfortunately turned into a big-time mess. The police were likely incompetent in their early handling of it and Johnson's family came to believe their son was actually murdered. They've brought numerous lawsuits and several times over the past five years have protested at the courthouse and various other locations. It's completely understandable their grief, but every nearly every accusation they've had has been proven to be incorrect. It's an awful situation that may not ever totally fade away. Hopefully, they'll eventually find some peace.

The funeral home really hosed this one up too. Someone replaced his insides with newspapers, if I remember right.

I'm normally the last person to throw this line out there, but it's clear someone needs to get fired.

When I was security I learned that a lot of dispatchers leave very important information out when they're talking to cops going to the scene. Like "this woman robbed the bank across the street last month saying she had a bomb" and "he has a gun in his pantleg" and also "the car is bright loving neon purple."

I can't count the number of times the cops came to the scene clueless other than knowing they needed to show up.

I feel my Mom would rather I remember the jokes from the funeral instead of the day I found her and while I do have friends who still insist I should go to therapy to try to remember that day, I just keep something my Intro to Psych professor said about sometimes recalling something your mind's blanked out isn't beneficial to you and that as long as you can function in life, then you don't need to. So I have my days where I wish she was around to share things I've experienced or to be able to ask her for advice on, and I do feel it stronger around the day she passed, but I figure that's normal and I'm okay just keeping on.

Dyaltov Pass was almost certainly an avalanche. Snow falls, kills a couple people, the rest run and leave their stuff behind, then take their clothes off because they're freezing to death. The radiation was likely from their thorium camping mantles, which even have radiation warnings on them and the radioactive dust can get everywhere if you're not careful as hell with those things.

People die snow camping/hiking all the time, especially young cocky people. It's dangerous for experienced. And animals eat faces because they're apparently tasty as gently caress.

It's not so much a cool mystery as it is Soviet Russia loving up an investigation.

E: also yeah my ex's best friend told us he had one nut and my immediate response was "holy poo poo can I see that dude?" Missing or extra nuts are just something you have to see, like a tail.

Wouldn’t there have been evidence of an avalanche though, especially when the first bodies were found?

There was evidence of an avalanche, including four bodies that had been crushed by snow and buried. It wouldn't even have to be huge to kill a few dudes and gently caress a campsite up, and make the rest of the campers panic.

Kinda ties back into earlier posts but I've also read that radiation being detected was either outright made up at one point or a mistranslation of sunburnt. It apparently just appeared in tellings of Dyatlov Pass at one point and seems to have dropped off in recent tellings.

It might be a bit like the Lead Masks Case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_Masks_Case) where for the longest time people assumed that the lead masks were creepy radiation masks and not just some homemade goggles.

Yeah, I mean either way I don't think the radiation thing was the weird UFO poo poo it was made out to be.

The amount of people who said "I'll kill myself if I get dementia/can't care for myself anymore" and still end up in a nursing home for years dependant on others is astoundingly high.

I took care of a woman who had about a similar memory span due to her dementia. All she would do was ask about her husband, where's Dan, where's Dan, where's Dan non-stop all day at all hours of the day and it didn't matter what you told her she'd ask the same question in a few seconds. But when her husband visited, she was fine. Still confused and not capable of taking care of herself, but happy and able to have regular conversations.

If you've never had to answer the same question a hundred times at three and you....are not missing anything.

Being a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's is loving terrifying. I will absolutely be gone the instant I don't recognize my loved ones or need help taking care of myself. A death from that disease is nothing but suffering, and I can't imagine wanting to draw out my death for ten years while my family watches in horror.
