Saw this happen at church camp. Dude on the bottom got a concussion.

When I was younger I shared a metal bunk bed with my brother. One night I'm on top and he's grabbing the railing talking to me. All the sudden the drat thing popped completely off, he falls backwards and the railing itself broke one of his teeth in half

Sure, but your average ignorant Western tourist doesn’t understand that if you travel to say, Singapore, with 200 grams of cannabis, they are going to hang you.

And yes, the Australian media goes nuts when white people face the death penalty in these countries, but most often the people who end up dying because of this are poor domestic workers from countries like the Philippines who either get duped by their employers to carry the drugs, or get offered more than their yearly salary to carry drugs.

And yes, I think most of us probably agree the death penalty is not, in anyway, aligned with modern notions of human rights; but it seems extra egregious in these drug cases.

Vietnam is the same way, death to drug traffickers. The joke of it is, though, drugs are incredibly rife in the streets, there's no enforcement because all the cops are totally and completely paid off allowing dealers to operate with complete impunity. And those dealers certainly had no problems with their supply.

I paid off the cops multiple times when I lived there, either for actually doing something wrong or more commonly just so they wouldn't bother me and waste my time, they would pull me over for nothing knowing that I would just pay because that was the only good option When the corruption is that bad, giving people the death penalty for drugs is a joke, it'll only happen to the unlucky and the ones who didn't manage to pay off the right person.

For a short left that had a lot of power in it. I love how he senses something might go down and hurries to put his bike down and make sure he's not encumbered if the guy loving attacks him.

I like to think he paid his fine with pride, if indeed he was fined because the driver easily could've kept quiet about it since he basically tried to run someone over then ran up to them holding a threatening beating stick or whatever it was

I've heard in Brazil that tourists go out looking for drugs, both dealer and tourist get "caught" in the act, the tourist panics and spends thousands to bribe their way out, cops release their dealer buddy & the cycle begins anew.

Yeah that happens basically everywhere there is police corruption. Those stories get passed around a lot in Thailand, never happened to me but it was enough to make me very cautious who I engaged in that way, only people I could trust. I've only heard about it secondhand though so who knows how common it actually is. One time I did have someone demand extra money and the implication was they would turn me in otherwise. I just hid the bud somewhere no one could find it and told him to gently caress off

It was probably the actual doctor, I can't really remember since it was like 3 AM and I was blasted on benzos. I THINK he made a mistake but no way to know until my spine splits in two I guess

I get back spasms that have been getting worse over tIme. I hope I don’t have what you’ve got. This week is a particularly bad one. Been unable to stand up straight for 8 days, constantly leaning to one side and working from my bed. Even diazepam don’t seem to be helping. That airbag stunt might actually help.

I have a muscle imbalance in my back, caused by competitive pole vaulting originally and then getting my left shoulder destroyed. When I get back spasms it tends to literally pull my spine to one side (always the same side) until it's so painful I can barely breath. You can feel it in your spinal cord, it seems like.

Luckily that hasn't happened in quite a while, it's been almost a year and a half since the last one.

The petard discussion is funny because when I was a kid my brother and dad and I always joked about "petard" meaning fart, not knowing it actually means that in French. We were downright giddy when we discovered that.

But yeah a petard is actually an early explosive packet that would be used in sieges, you could easily blow yourself up or "hoist" yourself with it. It's a phrase invented by Shakespeare actually.

If Shakespeare invented as many words and phrases as people attribute to him, his contemporaries would have no idea what he was saying.

Fair enough, popularized and first recorded in a play by Shakespeare. But very possibly invented by him/them too. It's not a coincidence that so many of his phrases and lines weren't recorded anywhere before that.

And if the audience knew the meaning of "hoist" and the meaning of "petard", they'd understand the meaning regardless of whether they had heard that phrase before seeing the play. It's pretty immediately apparent through context and content.

I suppose it MIGHT be possible to get a very specific part of your brain damaged and lose some of the anger you had before. Generally though, it just gets more broken and broken results in more animalistic, hostile and indulgent behavior.

Definitely don't need anyone to make a connection between brain damage and right wing politics, that's clear enough, but it would just be cool if a knock to the head could make you better and not worse.

I'm dumb, are these operator errors? or misprogrammed machines?


either way..

lol

It can be both and probably is. It's operator error by way of misprogramming, at least the one that cut through the top of the bolt and the one where the base piece was still moving sideways when the drill or whatever was going in. Most of them look like a slight mistake in the instructions the machine was given, causing certain parts to be subjected to forces they shouldn't and breaking.

You can legit lose function in your limbs if you end up that way for too long. You're lucky it actually went away!


Oooooo why'd she put so much of her NECK into it? Ouch, goddamn I would never use my neck straight like that. What you should do at least is pull your head back like a woodpecker and bring it forward so that your neck is directly underneath your head, not behind it. So that your head has somewhere to recoil without breaking your neck
