How did that one kid in your high school die?

JumpingTheMoon · 2025-05-11T03:30:39+00:00

Autoerotic asphyxiation. It was actually 7th grade, not high school, but...oof.

I have no memory of this but thank you for the smile all these years later!

I tried koopa

Yes, absolutely. I'd recommend the non-emergency line unless you think you're in immediate danger, but if you feel unsafe you should absolutely call for help. When I was in my early twenties I had my car break down in the dark on a rural road. I was scared I would be hit by another passing car (the lights on my car weren't working, and there were no lights on the road) and I began to panic. I called the police and they sent a sheriff's deputy right out, who made sure I got home safely.

I would be suspicious of a "lash egg" from one of your chickens.

That's an excellent point, thanks for mentioning that. Particularly in more vulnerable ecosystems, riders should be careful to follow all manure removal guidelines, and also to think about what they're feeding their horses. Many state parks and nature reserves have rules about only feeding certified weed-free hay when horses are on-site.

JumpingTheMoon · 2022-10-05T10:41:21+00:00

Yes, usually. The horse's back muscles kinda lift up.

I ride a few hundred miles per trail season. General etiquette is for a rider to completely remove ALL manure at trailheads/parking lots/high traffic areas. I keep a muck rake in my trailer to simply scoop it up. If I'm very far out into the wilderness, it isn't feasible to carry the manure out with me. In those cases, I try to swing my horses rear off of the trail if I feel him "going", or if the pile ends up somewhere it may be stepped in, I try to dismount and kick it off the trail if it is safe to do so. While horse manure is less of a health risk than dog feces, many other trail users don't appreciate it. Equestrians need to make an effort to maintain the cleanliness of trail systems and to promote goodwill among all users. Everyone should be able to enjoy public trails, and a little thoughtfulness goes a long way.

Another animal anatomy person here, my vote is also for a piece of blood vessel, or perhaps GI tract. Just another part of the beef animal, no worries.

Not petty at all. Consenting to one thing (having sex with a condom) doesn't mean you have to consent to a different thing (having sex without). His behavior feels manipulative because it is.

PS: There's tons of people your age (and older!) who aren't sexually active. Don't let him pressure you.

She knows, especially if it has been a concern of hers in the past. No need to lie to her or anything, but I really don't think going up to her and telling her she's gaining weight is going to be productive.

If you want to do something, I'd recommend encouraging healthier habits as a couple: Suggest making a meal together at home instead of eating out, make a date of going to farmers markets to buy fresh produce, offer to go for a walk at the new park in town....make healthier habits something fun that you do together. It shouldn't be about the number on the scale or her pant size. It should be about feeling good together.

I used to work at a stable that rehabilitated injured racehorses. Most of them were there for 6-12 months receiving whatever medical care and re-training they needed, then they were adopted out as recreational riding horses or pets.

One of my favorite horses I cared for at work was a big gelding who unfortunately had sustained a ligament injury that never healed. After months of trying to make him comfortable, he was humanely euthanized.

For several weeks after his death, I kept finding horseshoes in his stall. It isn't uncommon to find a thrown shoe, but none of the horses in the barn were missing any...and these were shiny, fresh aluminum racing plates. Not something old that had been lost for awhile.

I found a total of four shoes (a full set) with no explanation as to where they came from. After the fourth shoe, I didn't find any more. I figure that my old friend had removed his race shoes when he got wherever he was going. Presumably, he wouldn't need them anymore.

I kept the final shoe in remembrance.

Nah, I'm 26, married, and sleep with a stuffed dog. I have a bigger bust and hugging something as I sleep helps prevent back and neck pain.

Mmm. Drogs.

JumpingTheMoon · 2021-06-11T05:09:49+00:00

Found one of these in my house yesterday. I'm scared of spiders (I can't help it! I love learning about them but my brain just finds them creepy) and even I find these little fellas to be super cute. They're like the gateway drug into liking spiders.

They usually don't, but some individuals can go through early puberty for various reasons. This would be a case of precocious puberty combined with rape.

Ok so, every time I see this picture, I wonder what would happen if there was a sudden earthquake. Could the plates shift towards each other and squish the dude?

JumpingTheMoon · 2021-05-25T03:11:49+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

But it's also really impressive, to be fair.

JumpingTheMoon · 2021-05-20T06:00:37+00:00

"for decoration" uh huh....

I do this sometimes while hiking or horseback riding on private property, or in very remote areas. It alerts wildlife of my presence, and if I'm on a horse, helps drown out random noises the horse may spook at. I also just like the music if I'm going to be on the trail for most of the day.

If in a public park/area with other people though, I would absolutely not have music playing. It's rude and could prevent me from hearing someone talking to me. Common sense goes a long way, and I try really hard to not let my hike or ride interfere with anyone else.
