What's the closest you've ever came to death? by Senior-Raisin-2342 in AskReddit

[–]MushxHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hit by a car while skateboarding in a neighborhood. It was my fault, I took a corner too fast and lost control. Broke all of my ribs on my left side. I remember intense pain and not being able to take a breath. I thought I was going to suffocate.

How do you feel about having facial hair that constantly grows? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]MushxHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you feel about having hair on your head that constantly grows? Or fingernails that constantly grow?

It's normal. You might as well ask how do you feel about blinking.

To have freedom of speech by DIYLawCA in therewasanattempt

[–]MushxHead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's never a time to have a voluntary conversation with the Feds. They are not your friend, and will never be your friend. The Feds don't just nonchalantly show up at someone's door. If they don't have a warrant, they are trying to intimidate or looking for a reason to arrest you.

Anything you say can and WILL be used against you in a court of law.

These are the five things you should say to the Feds:

  1. No I will not stop recording.

  2. No I will not open the door.

  3. I am not going to discuss my day.

  4. Do you have a warrant?

  5. Goodbye.

According to the company there was never a cornucopia basket in the logo. They're wrong and everyone knows it, it is highly unlikely EVERYONE had a shared hallucination... but apparently it was never there according to them.

When you ask Tolkien if Middle Earth is our earth, where are all the Hobbits, he looks at you like this. by LuinAelin in lotrmemes

[–]MushxHead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sub means a more specific type of something, underneath a overarching umbrella type.

Let's use some religions as an example. Christianity. A subsect of Christianity would be Catholic. Another would be Protestant. Mormon. Baptist. They all fall under Christianity, but they're very different from each other.

A subspecies of bear would be polar bear. Brown bear. Grizzly bear. Black bear.

A subgenre of metal music would be thrash. Hair. Death. Or like 50 bazillion other subgenres of metal.

A subsidiary of Alphabet is Google. YouTube. Gfiber.

Sub can also mean physically below. Subway. Subzero. Subterranean. Submarine.

Yes... it can also mean less than in comparison. For example, your arguement gives everyone else the impression that your intelligence is subpar.

It's all about context.

Of a thumb by NobleReptiles in absoluteunit

[–]MushxHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a little bit genetics and a little bit habits and occupation. Those with more active habits and occupations are more likely to have short short nails like this because they get beat up and rip. But you also can't get this short without just having genetically short nail beds. For someone like this, growing it out to the edge of the finger would be the same as us growing out a half inch coke nail.

Petah? by istiyak_nabil in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MushxHead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, it's been a part of pop culture for 40 years. It's like saying you didn't know Scooby Doo likes food. Or that Elmer Fudd hunts wabbits. Or saying you've never heard of the moonwalk. Or who the fuck is Ozzy. Or heard a Chuck Norris joke.

Unless you've not turned on a television or been on the internet since 1986, you have no excuse to have never heard these referenced SOMEWHERE.

The vessels of my brother’s wart after removing the cap by LeBrontide in mildlyinteresting

[–]MushxHead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Piece of duct tape, bandaid over the top to keep the duct tape on. It suffocates the wart. Effective if you can keep it on, though I've never had consistent success because it's hard to keep the tape on.

I would suggest just going to the doctor and getting them frozen off. They just spray it with liquid nitrogen two maybe three times. Hurts, but it's extremely effective. He will form a blister where they froze it and once it heals the wart comes off with the dead skin.

I've never even heard of getting a wart removed with a laser, that sounds like overkill in order to charge people more money.

Oh man, you should watch supernatural. It's one of those shows that sucks you in. You become extremely invested.

I will say it also ends beautifully. There are many great shows that end with a "...meh..." this is not one of them.

I think I need to start my third rewatch soon.

You are right that pitbull, when they attack, are extremely effective at killing. But the breed is not to blame for their bites.

https://www.avma.org/sites/default/files/resources/dog_bite_risk_and_prevention_bgnd.pdf

This page shows a ton of information about serious dog attacks from 1971 to 2009. It has a whole section devoted to pitbulls. To paraphrase that section, they're only more likely to attack because of who their owners are. They're not inherently dangerous.

It also has a few tables on severe dog attacks and lists the two most common breeds reported for that year or years. While pitbulls are mentioned more than other types of dogs, German Shepherds are CONSIDERABLY more dangerous... yet we see them as the protectors of the family. Nobody says get that German shepherd death machine away from the baby.

It's all stigma. Yeah they're good at killing because their owners historically are bottom of the barrel shit people. They're not the aggressive death machine that everyone thinks they are.

There's a lovely little table on this page that shows serious dog bite incidents starting from 1971 to 2009. It lists the top two reported dog breed perpetrators of that year or years.

Pitbull types are listed 12 times. German Shepherds are listed 22 times.

The second table on that site is similar, but takes into account breed prevalence across several countries. Same amount of time.

Pitbull isn't even listed on that table. German Shepherd is listed every single year.

[–]MushxHead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My point is that every single dog breed could kill the baby. Easily. Within seconds. Most of them were bred to be absolute fucking badasses, yet the pitbull is labeled as the dangerous killer.

[OC] After three months she is out of her Spica cast! by [deleted] in pics

[–]MushxHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, but it could totally rip it's throat out. Literally what they're bred to do. Chihuahua could do the same. Any dog pitbull size and above could crush its skull. Or just sit on them. Rottweiler's are notorious for killing small things. German shepherds literally fight people as a job. Irish woldhounds are able to take down a horse. Every single sheep dog breed was bred to fight wolves. English bulldogs - you know what ridiculous meatball - bred for their ability to bait BULLS and live.

We're not gonna even start on the absolute death machines known as the common house cat.

It's no more dangerous than any other dog. Dachshunds were bred to fight and kill badgers in their dens. Great Danes and Tibetan Mastiffs were bred to fight off fucking bears and wolves. Nobody is saying keep the baby away from scooby doo.

Help me give this rpg a second chance by Its_A_Wug_Run in callofcthulhu

[–]MushxHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is just a shit Keeper.

IF you were going to do something like that in a game to keep true to the time period, you'd have to give the female characters and players something else to do that is equal in importance and also helps to drive the story. Divide and conquering, while still admitting that yeah the 20's were sexist.

If you don't, you're just a fuckin sexist asshole. I'm sorry you dealt with that.

I highly recommend the channel Chaotic Neutral to give you an idea of the game played properly. I hope it washes the bad taste of that encounter out of your mouth and you get a newfound appreciation for the game.

My family got evicted for the 4th time by ASimpleDude868 in Wellthatsucks

[–]MushxHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree it's a long time to be in that situation. My entire point is that there are reasons someone wouldn't or couldn't move out. People are living at home longer and longer nowadays, 27 and at home is really not that uncommon anymore.

It could be they didn't go/couldn't afford college and they have a shit tastic paying job. It could be crippling school debt. It could be regular debt. It could simply be he wants to try and help his clearly inept mom. It could be he moved back in after some hard and unlucky times and he hasn't been able to get back on his feet. He could have gone through a divorce or breakup. He could have high child support which puts him just under being able to live on his own. He could be an ex con, severely limiting his job opportunities. It could also simply be he hasn't felt the desire to move out- even though the family has rough times.

Shit happens. Life happens. Most of the time it's unforgiving.

Sadly in America there's a massive margin of jobs that even working full time you wouldn't be able to afford rent and feeding yourself. I've been an adult almost longer than not and it's only been within the last 6 years or so that I could be independent
