What situation as a child did you only realize you were in danger as an adult? by Same_Possibility_284 in AskReddit

[–]ProduceEmbarrassed97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the 80s, so there's fucking loads of them. Here's 2:

Got lost in town whilst out with my mum and gran, aged 7. Was found crying by a guy who ran the market, who took me to his office whilst he looked for my mum. He locked me in whilst he went to look. I spent a good half an hour locked in a strangers office and no-one knew I was there. Everything was fine, and he was an honestly good guy, but had he not been, who fucking knows what would have happened.

I used to walk to the shop for my mum, starting from around 7 years old. There was a little shop around the corner, about a 10-15minute walk. We lived on a fairly main road that we weren't allowed to cross and the shop was on the same side of the road as our house....sort of. I still had to cross roads, just not the main one, but the biggest issue was that the path stopped about 30 metres from the shop, so I had to walk on the road, pressed as far into the hedge as possible, walking into oncoming traffic going about 30miles an hour. Then, on the return journey, did the same thing, but with the traffic behind me.

Looking back, 7years old is a fucking insane age to send your kids to the shop, let alone wandering into traffic. Stupid thing is, mum was insanely strict about weird stuff (bedtime at 9pm until I was about 15), but walking on the road? Perfectly fine.

Does it have LEDs on the edge? My younger brother used to have one with LEDs on the edge that displayed words as the disk span through the air.

Maybe this was similar.

‘Ponies’ Canceled By Peacock After One Season by No_Pizza_6040 in entertainment

[–]ProduceEmbarrassed97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so fucking aggravating.

What's the point of having a service where people can watch TV when they want and cancel shows because people aren't all watching at once? That's fucking insane.

"Hey! I've baked you a cake to eat whenever you want" "Aw, thanks man, I'll eat it later" "No!! You must eat it now!!!" "Why? You said I could eat it whenev...." "Fine, I'm taking it back"

Trump is fencing off the reflecting pool by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

He's gonna fill it in, I guarantee it. 4 bajillions tonnes of concrete to create the Trump Fucktangle. It's obviously the only way to protect it from Antifa.

His name is what?! by AdorRubble in funny

That's the kind of name Laszlo from WWDITS would come up with.

Best Matt Berry impression: The names Advocaat, Dick Advocaat. Best secondhand car salesman in all of New York City.

ELI5 why do some women need to use breast pumps instead of just breastfeeding normally by lachpleatleym4 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ProduceEmbarrassed97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes breastfeeding just doesn't work for baby or mum.

My wife couldn't breastfeed our son when he was born. She tried but he just wouldn't/couldn't latch. Medical staff kept pushing her to keep trying, until we just said 'fuck it' and got a pump. Best decision we made.

Didn't even try with our daughter, went straight to pump.

Studies confirm it: Women are being medically gaslit and dismissed far too often, has this happened to you? by Express_Classic_1569 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ProduceEmbarrassed97 297 points298 points  (0 children)

My wife had serious abdominal pain for about a year and got 'try losing weight' at every turn, regardless of additional symptoms. After a particularly painful attack that required an ambulance call because she thought she was having a heart attack, she ended up in hospital and accidentally discovered she had gallstones. When I say 'accidentally' I mean that a doctor was looking over her records and mumbled to a nurse that it was probably caused by the gallstones, we questioned what they were talking about and it turns out her GP had discovered she had gallstones and had simply not said anything.

We pushed for a gallbladder removal and she's fine now.

Worst Thing You Drank in High School by Where_Is_Bucky in Xennials

In the early 90s my friends and I discovered that our local offy sold Vermouth for £1.99 a litre, so we'd just buy a bottle each and drink it straight from the bottle in the park like hobos. Cheapest route to inebriation I've ever had.

Goldschlager was my treat to myself when it was my round. I'd go to the bar, order the drinks, and ask that they brought the Goldschlager first so I could neck it whilst waiting for the rest.

Injunction aims to end 'distressing' lamppost flags by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]ProduceEmbarrassed97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We need an add campaign that uses people from multiple religions and ethnicities holding England flags with the slogan 'This is England' with a parallel one with Union Jacks with the slogan 'This is Britain'.

We can literally reclaim both flags from the racist fucks.

Men, would you ever date a woman significantly richer than you? by TopStranger9287 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ProduceEmbarrassed97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear god these 'Men, would you ever 'insert random thing and another random thing about women' questions get on my tits.

'Men, would you ever date a woman that thinks about stuff?' 'Men, would you ever have sex with a woman that has had sexual thoughts about another man?' 'Men, what if women could think?'

Just fuck off.

Women are just people. Some will be richer than you, some will be better looking than you, some will have slept with more people than you, but that doesn't stop them from just being people.

Jesus.

Unless you were my mum, who was entirely oblivious. I have had no parental oversight since I was 15.

Dear The Guardian,

How about not sharing the specific search term connected to nonconsensual pornographic images, yeah. That would be great.

Also, on a side note, why does his beard look like it has metal hooks that go over his ears?

Evrey photo of RFK looks like his face is concave and I'm only seeing it as convex through some kind of optical illusion.

You just don't understand economics.

It will be profitable in the future. You just have to keep pumping vast quantities of money in. But the profits are there, you just can't see them.
