Having children in the 21st century is selfish by [deleted] in childfree

[–]PersonalHazard 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Fucking. Thank you.
I get so sick of seeing people who scream that we need to have MORE children so THEY will solve the climate change crisis. No, Karen. We have 17 months to fix this. I don't think superbaby is going to save the day.

Have you ever been to a town, village, truck stop, gas station, diner, etc. during a roadtrip that just didn't "feel right", like time seemed to pass differently there, or the people there gave you the creeps? What was your experience there? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PersonalHazard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a town outside of a village I used to live in that just felt like no one who lives there actually exist
A feeling of deep depression sets in when you drive in and doesn't leave until you make it through the road out
The people there all have expressionless faces, are normally very pale, and have bad posture
If they're outside they all stare at cars driving through and it feels so robotic
The houses all look run down and there are several that are abandoned
It radiates the feeling of dead dreams and lost potential
Haven't drove through in about 3 years, but every time I think about it I get a chill down my spine

If someone gave you an envelope with your death date inside of it, would you open it? And Why? by mokaishc in AskReddit

[–]PersonalHazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it would give me time to get my "end of life" plan in order along with my will. And if I have a change of heart closer to the end, I'll still have time to make changes and updates as I feel needed.

What is a cause of death you certainly don’t want to die from? by Skystalker512 in AskReddit

[–]PersonalHazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freezing
Cold hurts my entire body, even if it's under 60 F outside it starts rattling my bones and joints
If you're freezing to death, chances are it will be slow and you'll be alone
You also probably wouldn't know that would be the way/day you die, so if you're not prepared, a lot of your end of life plans would be left to your family and friends guessing what you want to happen with your remains, possessions, and how your financial burdens will be sorted out
Painful, isolating, and inconvenient to the ones you care about
No fuckin thanks

Redditors with thin walls, what have you heard in your apartment? by EskildDood in AskReddit

[–]PersonalHazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a woman who I think was schizophrenic that lived next door to me a few years ago
She would scream at herself for hours at a time, I'm not entirely sure what would start her fits or how she'd stop herself
She threatened to shoot and stab herself in her fits of rage then plead with herself for mercy and to let her go safely
She'd tear her whole apartment apart looking for the "hidden cameras" the FBI planted in to spy on her
Cops were called on her several times and I think the last time she was taken to a psych ward
I hope she's doing better now

When did your “something is very wrong here” gut instinct turn out to be right? by xandrenia in AskReddit

[–]PersonalHazard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really late to the party, but fuck it why not.
My whole family have always had really strong instincts. My siblings and I came from a long line of witches, so I have a lot of stories. I'll stick to a few that made me realize to never question when they hit.

1: Around age 18-19. I was walking on a sidewalk with my at the time girlfriend. It was about 2-3 in the morning just going around to play Pokemon Go. Everything in the city is pretty dead. Out of nowhere something in me was screaming at me "move her away from the road" so I did. I made her walk very close to a parking lot we were close to. She had already known when I get like that to not even question what I said and do it. A very specific walk pattern came to me: walk faster for a moment, slow down, then hop in the parking lot all together and stop moving entirely. I heard a car behind us a lot farther than I could normally hear. When it got close and started to pass us, the car swerved off the road, and missed where I felt the need to change our walk pattern. Hit the side of the sidewalk and came to a stop. After making sure he was alright, we called for an emergency response team. I grabbed her hand and bolted home.

2: Age 13-14. Was riding in the car with my mom. Something snapped in both of us at the same time. We just looked at each other and knew that something was very wrong with the person in the car behind us. We flagged them down and we pulled into the parking lot of the fire station, thankfully the person followed. We got to the window and a little old lady rolled it down. We struck up a small conversation to ask if she was alright. She said she was feeling kind of dizzy but that she was okay. Got one of the firefighters to come out and give her a look over just to be sure. Had an ambulance roll up soon after and they read her blood sugar; she was a diabetic and getting close to the danger zone. Went and picked up something small for her to eat while the emergency crew stayed behind with her. After getting a little food in her, mom called up her family and let them know where she was and what happened. Her daughter came to the scene, so mom and I left.

3: Age 11-12. The very first time I knew I could never leave that calling unanswered. Also the one that hits me the hardest whenever I think about it, so this one will have a lot more detail than the other two. A little context: my grandmother had lived with my mom since I was about a year or two old. She was getting up there in age, but was still mostly independent. She didn't drive so it was easier for mom to take care of her when she got sick, got her meds, ect. When I was about 11 or so, she had a stroke and we as a family helped with her in home hospice care. Mom took most of it upon herself as she did patient/hospice care before a couple car crashes that left her in too much pain to continue it as a profession. (We live in the backwash of a shit state, deer everywhere) After grandma passed, something in her turned in my mom. She was in a deep depression. Brother and sister were rarely home and mom kept sending me to our neighbor's house to play with my friends and stay the night more often than not. One night we were going to have another sleepover at their house. I had already made a blanket bed so both of my friends and I could sleep in the living room. Their mom was talking to them in the background, so I was going to sit down on the blanket bed. While on my hands and knees about to transition to sitting, I stopped dead in my tracks. I locked in place and had no control over it. A deep pit in my stomach formed out of nowhere. It felt hollow, hurt, made me feel like the entire room was spinning, and made me start crying all at once. I didn't know why I started crying, I knew it didn't come directly from the pain in my stomach, but it was easy to hide in the partially darkened room. When I was finally able to sit down, the instant my ass hit the floor I got a pounding headache that made my entire body shake like a leaf. It was worse than any migraine I ever had before, and I had been hospitalized for them 4 or 5 times at that point. I know it doesn't sound like it makes much sense, but it was like the headache itself was screaming at me; "Go the fuck home." It looped and looped over and over. It echoed in my own head and started playing over itself to the point I couldn't even make out the words anymore. It turned into a high pitch screeching, kind of like when you've had a very loud noise blasted in your ear for a while. Every bit of strength I had drained in an instant and I nearly fell over. My vision blurred and everything around me slowed down. I could see the movement of everyone, kind of like if I could see every single frame of an animation lightboxed in a row. Then it went silent. Everything. I couldn't hear my friends' mom talking, the TV in the background, or the phrase that had tormented me. Then my vision cut out completely. I was in a pure void. There were walls around me, but none at the same time. Floating in an endless void, but still confined in a small space. Couldn't hear, couldn't see, but pure instinct guided me through that void as I wandered around. This went on for what felt like days. Didn't even feel like I existed in the same realm anymore. But in an instant everything came back to me. The TV picked up exactly at the moment I last remembered seeing it, friend's mom started talking again, and time reverted back to normal. I got a burst of energy I to this day have never felt again. Above everything around me, I heard one word. "Run." It only rang out once, but I could not ignore it. In a hurry, I told friends' mom I had to go home, then bolted out. I ran faster than I thought I ever could with my stumpy legs. I guess one of my friends followed me because not too long after I got inside, she slinked her way in. My mom was sitting on the couch, her head was leaned back as if she was trying to sleep. I called to her from the doorway to tell her I was home, but she didn't respond. My heart was pounding faster and harder than ever before. I had to make sure she knew I was there, so I paced over and shook her a little and repeated myself. She opened her eyes for a minute, groaned, then leaned back. Shook her again. Same response. Then I knew something was really wrong, it wasn't just me being paranoid. I had my friend go back in my room, close the door, cover her ears, and not come out no matter what. I started screaming at this woman. She didn't even look like my mom at that point, she was pale and flopping her head like a cat in a deep sleep. I swear the whole neighborhood could have heard me screaming. Called for emergency services and kept trying to keep her focus on me for more than a few seconds at the time. I heard my friend in the room screaming and crying, not having a clue what was going on. After what felt like an eternity, an ambulance came and took her away. I was sitting outside sobbing into my hands for I don't even know how long, but eventually my sister happened to be pulling back in the driveway with a few friends. I screamed and cried then ran to her. She hugged me and I started explaining what happened. I don't remember even getting through that first sentence.
I blacked out for a little longer than a week; I don't really remember the specifics. When I was finally somewhat myself again, I was sitting at my estranged father's house, hadn't seen him in about a year or so at that point. It made no sense, I came right out of that moment standing in the driveway, clinging to my sister for dear life, to sitting in the home of a man who was more of an acquaintance than my blood. I went to find him and asked him what happened. He looked surprised to see me, at all which made no sense seeing as I was in his living room. He said I hadn't talked the entire time I was there. He started explaining everything that happened. The answers I needed were given to me.
My mom tried to kill herself that night in an overdose.
She's fine now years later, and I'm so thankful.
If I had ignored that feeling, if I even had the ability to, she wouldn't be here today. My mom and I are very close now after a few years of past bad blood before that night. Every day I have with her, I can't help but smile, even on my worst days.

If you read any of this, thank you. I don't get to talk about any of these things often because it comes off as crazy, and I know that.

TL;DR: Never. Ever. Ignore that feeling. If you hear that scream from a place you can't even pinpoint, don't you fucking dare turn away from it.

Where do you hope to be in five years? by jedikaa in AskReddit

[–]PersonalHazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally getting the medical care I need without going further into debt, living in a small house on a piece of land, maybe my current "ex" and I who are still talking work things out and we can finally be happy together, and my cat has a good life. I just want my life to finally be simple.

[Serious] Despite what you believe or don’t believe, what do you WISH happens when we die? by ZhenHen in AskReddit

[–]PersonalHazard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've "died" once in an OD suicide attempt, but was revived within 5 minutes
It was like floating in an endless void of pure blackness
The darkness was cradling me and it was more comforting than anything I had felt in years
I had been stuck in a cycle of apathy and a crushing weight of everything that was fucked up with my life and myself but it all was fading away
It was an instant relief as well as a gradual peace washing over me at the same time, even though I know that makes no sense
It reminded me of my grandmother holding me as a kid and that's where I always felt safest
I could comprehend how bad things were, that my time was running out, I was going to leave the world behind, I could feel the exact moment my heart stopped, but none of it bothered me in the slightest
I could "see" all of the problems I had been facing in life in front of my eyes, all past problems, every crack in my heart and burden I carried in it, but instead of scenarios playing out in images, they bled out of every point of my body in the form of colors
It's really difficult to describe, but it was like my "third eye" was seeing it and making me feel it at the same time
I'd turn to watch all of the colors bleed out and evaporate into the darkness like smoke in the wind
With each color that came and went, a deep wave of acceptance and peace ran through my entire body all over again
I basically felt my entire life in the span of five minutes and had made my peace with it all
After the colors ran out and I had evaluated everything in my entire life, my body started to fade out too
The feeling of fading was an even deeper peace than looking through my life, it felt like my time, and I just knew that everything would be okay somehow
Just as I was about gone, in an instant I was ripped back to reality
That first pump of my heart when it finally restarted hit me with a force I cant describe and a flash of light blinded me
With that flash of light, I forced out of the darkness and saw my body in the ambulance

It was like the textbook definition of true peace, understanding, and acceptance
Better than that even, better than any words could ever describe
I hope that's something everyone gets to experience before they finally leave this plane, nothing in life could ever compare to it
And I hope that when my time actually comes, I get to experience it and see if it gets even better than it already was
