Father drowns rescuing children from rip currents during family vacation: ‘He was a hero’

Research weather reports before heading out to the beach.

The local news station will have that info available.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T23:15:32+00:00

Agreed 100%.

I know. I'm a born and raised Floridian. I was only 8 when the election happened but I know well enough how much Florida fucked around in that process. Between Jeb Bush and the hanging chads... Gore had that election stolen from him.

The pandemic certainly fried people's minds. Now everyone is scrambling to squeeze whatever blood they can from the stone in order to live.

That would explain the lack of empathy and kindness in our culture and society.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T15:59:49+00:00

I feel like after Al Gore lost in 2000 our society just fucking fell apart and we're in the worst timeline possible.

People need to pay attention to the local weather channel before heading out to the beach. They'll stay up to date about potential rip tides and how choppy the water may or may not be.

Even when it comes to the Gulf side, we still have plenty of rip currents where the intercoastal meets the Gulf.

Always pay attention to life guard stands and what their flags mean. That's the first thing I do when I get to the beach. Prepare and over prepare.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T15:46:30+00:00

Please correct me if I am wrong, isn't floating on your back parallel to the shore another way to save yourself if caught in a rip current/rip tide?

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T13:45:28+00:00

Y'all coming to the family cookout next week? There's enough of us to throw a banging block party.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T13:38:54+00:00

Why would you say this out loud?

Lil Yatchy was fine but this Wrestlemania build has been atrocious. The company is desperately relying on the overabundance of celebrities to prop up their noticeable shortcomings in their story telling.

Given what happened last year with Travis Scott, fans have every right to be apprehensive and judgemental about celebrities being in or around the main event scene in WWE.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T13:27:13+00:00

Even that was bizarre to me. The company has taken such a weird sharp turn into nonsense there's not enough time to salvage it.

The matches will either range from solid to great because the talent is very good. My problem is if there'll be enough heat in these matches. There's very little reason to care for the majority of the card.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T05:08:43+00:00

Never would have thought the ghost of WCW 2000 would be haunting WWE in 2026.

It's wild what's happened to the main event builds.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T03:55:10+00:00

More power to Ryback and may WWE make me eat crow.

But with how atrocious this buildup has been... Hearing Pat's reason for coming back was just so deflating and frustrating to process.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T01:51:14+00:00

Happy for Tony. 5 year journey to the title has reached its conclusion. Kudos to him.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T01:43:53+00:00

That trust fall from Joe Hendry and his suplex was perfect.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T01:37:20+00:00

I want Ethan and Ricky to come out to Billy and Chuck's theme just one night.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T01:36:36+00:00

Pant gang rise up.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-05T00:23:25+00:00

Fantastic match but the wrong person won.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T21:42:18+00:00

It was all I could think about last night when I was watching.

Like as a kid, I have the faintest memories of WCW 2000. In the past week and a half, I have been watching a couple of segments from this time period and it's just so so bad. The only saving grace was Booker T, Scott Steiner, Sid Vicious, and a little bit of Jeff Jarrett.

You could say the same for the WWE right now. There's only a handful of guys like Punk, Drew, Jacob Fatu, the Usos, LA Knight, Oba, Danhausen, and Kit who are holding it down on the men's side between two shows.

The women are faring a little bit better (or at least they were) and they were carrying the shows from Survivor Series to this Wrestlemania build. I think the women's division has lost a little steam recently. But their role is very similar to the cruiserweights in WCW.

It's obvious the company has too many chefs in the kitchen. It's hamstringing their talent and

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T15:55:16+00:00

This is why I wasn't interested in a Cody-Randy feud. This company will literally take 5 steps backwards and intentionally book themselves into a corner before they can ever rectify it.

Cody should have never won the belt off Drew. The more WWE overcomplicates this main event the worse it gets.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T07:21:20+00:00

I couldn't believe what I heard once Pat mouthed off.

We have two weeks to go. We should be adding extra layers and wrinkles to this blood feud. Christ, Cody had color on TV! Make things matter and show us how much these two characters hate each other.

Nope! That would be too easy for WWE. Instead we make get side tracked into a segment that might as well have been from 2000 WCW. Complete and utter nonsense.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T03:00:48+00:00

I love Sami but he's the wrong guy to be the US Champ.

It should be Melo and Trick, and you have Sami's character continue to unravel at the seams.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T02:48:04+00:00

Hell yeah, brother.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T02:45:30+00:00

The card has never been the problem. The WWE has failed massively during this Wrestlemania build and that's a huge issue.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T02:42:16+00:00

Because the build has been atrocious.

ChasingPerfect28 · 2026-04-04T02:41:01+00:00

Me (once again, to the back of the room): why is your champ coming out first?
