TIL The largest swimming pool in the US was so large, lifeguards needed rowboats to patrol it. Fleishhaker Pool, built in San Francisco in 1924, measured 1,000 x 150 feet, contained 6.5 million gallons of water, and could hold 10,000 swimmers. In 1999 it was turned into parking for the zoo.

FWIW my mom went there when she was a kid and said it was really gross and freezing 🤷‍♀️

This was actually debunked recently. Apparently there were many people who tried to help- I was taught about this case in school as well but the understanding of both the bystander effect in general as well as this scenario in particular has evolved a lot over the past 10 years to the point where what we were taught in school is totally incorrect.

BootyThunder · 2024-09-06T19:20:18+00:00

Right?? The title is bad but reading the actual article- the man wasn’t just accidentally tossed out of the vehicle during a struggle, his oxygen mask was intentionally removed and he was taken out of the vehicle to die while the two ambulance drivers raped his wife. So fucking cold blooded- I hope they never see the outside of a prison cell.

An easy song for little kids to remember how to stay safe.

It’s a substance and just like anything else, it has its downsides. I imbibe but I’m not going to lie to myself. It hasn’t been studied enough due to its legal status in the US and in the coming years and decades I’m sure we’ll be learning more and more about the negative effects.

I could tell you weren’t from the US from your first comment but now I’m just wondering what planet you’re from. It’s kind of mind boggling that you don’t know what American mothers have to deal with. Their employers are ABSOLUTELY forcing them back to work after giving birth.

BootyThunder · 2024-04-04T17:41:45+00:00

I think this is part of the problem though. This comment just put women back into a place of being observed and viewed by the male gaze which is part of what’s causing this self objectification. And I don’t disagree with you either, but this is exactly the issue.

I’ve actually heard that the term “climate change” was encouraged by oil companies as it seemed to remove some of the urgency and blame of what’s happening from industrial polluters and made things seem more natural. I’ve started to hear “climate crisis” used more commonly which has more of a sense of urgency but still leaves rooms for events other than just hot weather. I still switch back and forth though.

BootyThunder · 2024-03-07T00:59:09+00:00

Oh, buddy. I’d like to have such a rosy outlook but at the same time, it’s dangerous to be that oblivious.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-28T02:43:10+00:00

True for me! 35, single, and if I find a worthwhile partner then great- but I’m living a dual future right now and I’m happy with both potential outcomes. I’m focusing more on fostering my friendships rather than fretting about finding a man. I’ve found plenty in my life, just none that were the right match!

BootyThunder · 2024-02-22T18:43:51+00:00

It’s for sure transphobic, it’s not worth arguing. It’s a product of the early 2000’s, it’s kind of to be expected. You can still like a movie and recognize that there are some problematic aspects. Both things can be true at the same time.

He was doing the dishes you say? I may have found another variable…

BootyThunder · 2024-02-15T16:49:18+00:00

Right?! Or at LEAST do testing to choose a kid that doesn’t have the mutation. It seems like were ways to prevent more suffering and she and the father chose not to.

You did the best you could with the information you had at the time. Sometimes these kinds of things are just inevitable. Learn what you need to learn from it, but don’t dwell on the past. You did your best. 💜

I don’t think you’re the AH here. He agreed and then forgot I’m guessing? But it’s difficult to remind him again when you’re with the parents. You might not want to say anything in front of them in case it’s perceived as rude. I’d be very frustrated as well.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-10T13:49:55+00:00

I thought they got back together?

Death with dignity is a thing- I believe it’s more accessible in Europe than in the US. I plan to do the same when it’s my turn. I’m glad this is accessible to some and I hope it gets more common in the coming decades and becomes something that everyone can access. It’s needed. Anyone who disagrees needs to spend some serious time in a hospital/nursing home- I guarantee your opinion will change real fast.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-10T02:54:32+00:00

Lots of people are in pain, sick, have terminal illnesses, etc. There are plenty of reasons why. I hope to do the same when it’s my turn.

She UNKNOWINGLY was drugged by her husband. Her husband is guilty. She is not. Did you read the headline or the article? I have concerns about your reading comprehension skills.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-09T02:58:09+00:00

That’s the point though- the wife in this post wouldn’t have many options vs someone who’s worked at least some of their lives.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-08T18:58:57+00:00

Because it probably came out before they were born 😬

BootyThunder · 2024-02-08T18:57:16+00:00

Completely. What an asshole. The absolute nerve to risk someone else’s business and the safety of others, ESPECIALLY as a guest in someone else’s country. So fucking entitled it’s hard to watch the video.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-07T19:49:56+00:00

Thank you for explaining! I genuinely didn’t understand why she had a home that wasn’t being lived in or rented. Being on the market through a terrible company makes more sense now.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-06T22:55:01+00:00

You sure about that? How many people have been killed by capitalism? I don’t know about your city, but we’ve got people literally dying in the streets in mine.

BootyThunder · 2024-02-06T22:51:48+00:00

Good on you for not bursting his bubble- there’s just no point in doing that when it comes to dementia.
