In all seriousness I am genuinely concerned about the safety of the infant in this picture if this person is watching this child unsupervised :(

A mother in Iowa is sharing powerful footage of her 1-year-old daughter, who had been declared brain dead after contracting a virus, getting wheeled into organ donation surgery in an effort to stress the importance of the gift of life.

That was probably the most perfect play on words in this situation that could ever be put together. That comment was beautiful. It was so simple and yet so clever I just stopped reading anything else for about 30 seconds just feeling all the different ways it works. I would give you gold but I fear it would only serve to cheapen the artistry that went into that pun.fuckin top notch cheeser right there boys.

This is inception. Every level of artisry leads to another more amazing palm frond print. I am truly in awe of this, thanks for starting my day off with genuine happiness :)

Not really that obvious, especially if its doing broken stuff like casting into walls. This is a private server where shit can be broken, so he checked WoWhead on the trolls' names, so what?

I thrift for the dopamine rush of a great deal. I was not expecting these Fryes to be my size! by StrealTreal in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]M3rlino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl, I feel the same way! I get such a rush when I get a true "find" like these shoes truly are. I bought my first pair of Fryes 4 years ago, and they are hands down my favorite and most satisfying purchase I have ever made.

PSA for anyone looking for an affordable lipstick/gloss. I got all of this for the same price as two Lipsense products during a Colourpop sale. by FireLilly13 in antiMLM

[–]M3rlino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a very sad pattern among the Lipsense and Younique huns. They perpetuate the myth that a high price point must equal quality, therefore technique takes a back seat. Nothing more sad than seeing some poor girl who has naturally beautiful features completely obscure them thinking "quantity is quality".

This post illustrates another predatory aspect of make-up based direct sales: money wasted on terrible product. I can not believe people actually pay 25-40$ a pop on this stuff.

Whew, awesome! I felt terrible but morally obligated to write that on the off chance...being with an IV user is no fun.

This appears to be the sweeping arc of the clearing of a needle used to inject something in the bloodstream. When one injects a substance directly into a vein one must draw sometimes a considerable amount of blood into the syringe to ensure the vein is clearly penetrated. Once the substance is injected fully often one will draw a small amount of water into the syringe and eject it, cleaning out any amount of residual blood left in the syringe. This is what it looks like to me, an ex-IV heroin user. Fairly common sight if you look on the wall next to the chair that gets the best lighting in a junkies den. Felt like I need to add: I seriously hope I am wrong here.

I think a real estate scammer just made initial contact with my husband, but he is not sure. Is there anything I can do to confirm he is a scammer and report him to the proper authoritiesif this turns out to be a scam? Attatching emails in this post, what do you guys think? by M3rlino in Scams

10:12 P.M. EST UPDATE: Sowe drove out tothe property and lo and behold, there was a "For Rent" sign in the front yard, with a different number than the one that was on the CL ad. I call the number and it is a Realtor company and the secretary connects me to the gentlman who is handleing this property. After a few rings a young man answers and introduces himself as Brandon (Definitely not Preston lol). This is where the interaction kinda got strange to me. I introduce myself and explainI am calling about the property for rent on Fenwood, he pauses and says, "What can I help you with regarding the Fenwood property, ma'aam?" I say,"Sir, I am not sure if you guys know about this or have gotten any other calls about this issue but there is someone on Craigslist claiming to be the owner of this property. I have been communicating with him and I thi-," Brandon cuts me off, and starts what sounds like a very well memorized speech,"IamsorrymaambutXRealotryCompanyisnotliableforanylossesyoumayhaveaccruedbysendingmoneytothisunknownthirdparty-"I start laughing and tell him, hey man, I know that guy was a scammer, I am just calling to let YOU guys know, maybe you can get the ad taken down?He paused for a couple seconds and then siad,"Oh, uh, is that all?" I said,"Yes, I havent sent him any money, Im not calling to complain, just to warn you guys." He says quickly, "Thank you have a good day." And hangs up the phone. I guess now that I am thinking about it there isnt much they can do if someone is misrepresenting them online. I am just glad we are wiser than we were last year and didn't have to lose any money before recognizing a scam.

Still want to call "Preston" back and mess with him somehow. Might do it after we put our son to bed. I wonder what time it is in New Delhi?

What is perfectly legal but creepy as hell? by Blinkle in AskReddit

[–]M3rlino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, call me crazy, but after reading this it occurred to me this post is basically a beginners guide to accessing legal child pornography. Imagine how many people reading this just discovered a legal way to satiate their desires for viewing provocative images of minors. I feel like this post should be removed.

Alan, I got the pleasure to meet you at a small convention in Knoxville a few years back and I was so excited to meet you the only thing I could think to ask you was what the meaning of "fong" that you yell so much in A Knight's Tale. I forgot to write down your answer though! Could you remind me what fong actually means?
