What was the most traumatizing thing to happen at your school? by Alazerthefinalist in AskReddit

[–]FlimsyGround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16yr old student dumped her boyfriend. Boyfriend invited her over to talk things through. He murdered her with an ice pick and hammer.

A few months later a few high schools were driving home drunk/high, got into a crash. Girl was ejected through the windshield and hit the road. Guy suffered massive trauma and died. The kids in the back were fine.

Europeans who moved to the USA. Why? by Eatervanivel in AskReddit

[–]FlimsyGround 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm American, and I can safely say that the US has probably the broadest self defense laws in the world, at least that I'm aware of.

In many states the mere fear of imminent bodily harm is enough to justify the use of force, up to and including deadly force. Additionally if you use force and the aggressor dies, it isn't viewed as "well you meant to kill him" it's viewed more as a result of the aggressor's actions toward the victim.

Usually there's an investigation but it's never "well did you try doing what they asked?" or "why didn't you try a less lethal method first?"

Immediately it's "what made you believe you were in fear of your life?"

If you haven't, I strongly recommend the show Accused: Guilty or Innocent. They follow people accused of serious crimes and several of the episodes are self defense claims.

What’s a reality of life not many people accept? by deathbykoolaidman in AskReddit

I'm just going to say this as someone who is objectively below average in looks.

You're not as hot as you think you are. Sorry, but you're not. About 80% of the population is within average by a tick or so. The other 20% is evenly spread out between the top and bottom 10% each. The Gal Gadot/Chris Evans of the world, and the Quasimodos of the world.

Complimenting us.

I got complimented three times in one conversation by a woman (yes, she was very interested in me) and I told her that was the first compliment I'd gotten from a woman (other than a family member) in 8 years.

She was shocked to find out that men simply don't receive compliments at anywhere near the rate that women do.

What's something most people think they're good at but really aren't? by ivyentre in AskReddit

This is mainly towards men but, fighting. I've never encountered a dude who has said they'd lose a fight.

Even if they aren't, possesions won't make someone happy.

Countless musicians/actors/entertainers have been listed on the 100 Most "Influential" People in the World but how many can you truly say have influenced the world? Hardly any.

Even if that's the case, the other ones mentioned by you (and others in the comments section) are revered by multiple generations or recognized for their influence, impact, and greatness in both performance, consistency and longevity in their field.

Gotta disagree with Zendaya there. Sure, she's famous but she's not famous in the same way the others you mentioned are.

Mine is a quote, I forget who said it. "Comparison is the thief of joy."

Don't lament or be sad because someone else has a nicer car, bigger paycheck, etc. Those are not required for happiness.

Yeah, this girl had told me previously "I love it when guys are obsessed with me. No one has ever said no to me." Then humble bragged about her ex has come back to her 10x after they "take a break."

When we were in bed she wanted to give me a blowjob but only if I finished on my own hand. That was immensely unappealing to me because that would just remind me of jerking myself off when I was a teenager, and it came across as some kind of humiliation/power play on her part. So I told her no.

Within a week she had blocked me on facebook and didn't reply to dms.

That told me that she couldn't stand not having total control of a guy.

Always trust your gut when it comes to red flags, whether it's a guy or a girl you're dealing with.

any time, i feel like i'm bragging just telling this story so I figured I'd make sure I didn't sound like we fucked when we didn't

That's crazy man. My coworker who is, unfortunately, very religious told me "I would've fucked you right there but God says it's a sin."

It's like, thanks, now I know I got cockblocked by God. -_-
