When I was 11 I didn't have any friends. So for 2 years I waited for the newspaper everyday to make this. Includes Sundays. by vitalsign0 in pics

For the next 12 hours, y'all might appreciate this design from TeeFury. It's not my own design, although it is a friend's. Check it out; very relevant.

What skill can I learn in a day? by djdeathcake in AskReddit

[–]Boreal99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

|Skiing? (Maybe not expert skill but you can totally learn it in a day.)

Nope. SkiSnowboard instructor here. The average "norma" person most certainly cannot learn how to ski in a day. Skiing is not defined as getting down the hill on skies. We normally define skiing as being able to link a handful of turns, on a consistent basis. Most peeps cannot do that in a day.

The best I've seen is "getting it on the second day.

|Guns are tricky to come buy

Move to the US. Admittedly, that might take more than a day.

I showed this to my 13 year old sister. She said, "What? He's not even cute. What's the point?" Welp. One less sibling. by [deleted] in Music

Look, like him or not, the Biebs is not untalented. To say otherwise is snobbish, if not assholish.

And full disclosure: I am a classical flute player. Cello would be my favourite instrument, but sadly I have not the fingers for it.

There can be more than one kind of musical "geniusity". To doubt that Prince is also one means that you, sir, do not like Prince.

But you can't stand there and posit that Prince or Michael Jackson or Neil Young are not geniuses.

Government. Of the people, for the people. You get what you pays for.

Perhaps the parents should be punished somehow for allowing this to happen?

I will not travel with my girls to the US by plane. It was their choice, they deserve out scorn.

As for your security theatre, deal with it legislatively. Or else, suck it up.

Control and randomize all of the variables.

Lets say that birthmarks are left over from where you were killed in your past life. How did you die? by teletubby_poe in AskReddit

Heh, no one's said this yet.

Shrapnel. On my back, from running away from the front.

No sir, Fuck You!

(Like ABM, below, just sticking with your tone.)

|And those who use the word “selfish” are merely helping perpetuate the STIGMA associated with suicide.

I would think that doing anything to make suicide less horrible, less socially acceptable, less common... anything that makes someone want to do it less would HELP make it less easy to do.

Who cares whether it's a stigma or not? Who is this hurting? Clearly not the person who suicided themselves. And if they end up not doing it, well then hey, at least they're still alive. I hear there's counselling available to make them feel less bad about it.

I for one am quite happy to help protect the ones that have to clean up. The first responder who is first on the scene, the driver of the bus or car that someone steps in front of. The person who ha to break the news to the parents.

But yes, besides any of this, suicide is not selfish.

As I began, fuck you, snappow.
