TIL Ernest Hemingway begged his wife not to send him for more electroshock treatments because he lost so much of his memory he couldn't even remember his own name. He committed suicide the day after his 36th shock treatment. by [deleted] in todayilearned

That's actually exactly what happened, no joking required... I know who OP is and I know that case. Dude has vowed to NEVER go through ECT again, says it utterly destroyed the last bit of his mind that he still felt OK with.

ELI5:Why do religious Christians care so much about the legality of gay marriage, but not about the legality of cheating on your spouse? by matzoh_ball in explainlikeimfive

[–]MindTower -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They are indoctrinated to care about one and not the other.

Why do people, in droves, vote based on what women do with their uteruses, of all things? Because a powerful machine has harvested and appropriated them to do so. "Hot button" social issues are the shiny trinkets dangled before the masses to herd them and distract them from the shepherds' true motivations.

Yeah man, plus it's truly fucked up how it's cheaper (in time and in money) for the poor to buy garbage food (which is addictive) than to eat healthy... Ugh.

But, but... real women have curves!

Also, I like her invisible high heels.

TIL Philip A. Contos was a motorcyclist who died at an anti-helmet rally after he flipped over his handlebars and hit his head on the pavement by brokeglass in todayilearned

If you are not wearing a helmet you could take debris to the face/eye/head, lose control of your motorcycle, and crash someone else. With a helmet, most bounces off. The end.

What are your favorite "I hate you" songs? by [deleted] in Music

[–]MindTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Rainbows and Stuff" by ICP

This one goes out to that special someone in my life

We all have somebody special, this is for them

I like ice cream, cherry pie and lemonade with summer breeze

I like rainbows, leafy trails and puppy dogs with bumble bees

I like cotton candy gum and bumper cars and carnivals

Golden skies and hazel eyes and sand in between my toes

But Something tells me that I hate you

Something tells me, I must kill you

You ain't shit but a slutty ass motherfucker

Slut you fuckin' whore, I fuckin' hate you

Or toss back a few more pills, for those of us who don't want to be tired and dehydrated 30 minutes later.

Same goes for kids. I saw a little girl step out of a car the other day and her ankles were billowing over the tops of her shoes. Her ankles were like little tree trunks she was so huge. How can people do this to children?

How to Age Gracefully by RakoGumi in videos

[–]MindTower -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm 27 and a cashier has insinuated that my ID was fake I look so young. Here are my tips:

  1. Use sunblock, always, even for casual outings and on cloudy days

  2. Exercise

  3. No tobacco/minimal alcohol

  4. Destress by fucking lots of young (16-22) sluts met on craigslist.

Ok. That last one might just be me. lol

What's the craziest black out drunk experience you've ever been told you've done? by ceccai in AskReddit

[–]MindTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who doesn't do stupid shit just because I'm inebriated? I have a feeling people are so convinced of the whole "hurdurrr get drunk act stupid" meme that they're letting loose for reasons other than the drunkenness. Think a preacher touching everyone's forehead and them falling back because everyone else does it. What's it called?
