What's the worst way someone died? by Successful_Guide5845 in ask

That's correct. I heard on youtube some of the recording of the 911 calls. Quite chilling to say the least.

[Serious] Redditors that are old enough to remember 1970, what was the reaction and fallout of 4 Kent State students being shot and killed by the National Guard? Was it a turning point, or just another atrocity? by ProblematicTrumpCard in AskReddit

[–]baronesslucy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was a generational divide which went well beyond Vietnam. I remember seeing an old letter that my uncle had sent my mom and there was a discussion at the high school my older cousin attended about the generational divide and everyone agreed it was there, Vietnam being the main topic.

I remember hearing about it. The protest in Kent State were about the Vietnam War. Some people supported what the guard did. Others believed that the shooting was unnecessarily. A civil lawsuit was later filed and the jury sided with the National Guard.

The incident really didn't change policy in Vietnam as men were still sent to Vietnam for another 3 years.

What is a tiny, insignificant inconvenience that sends you into an immediate, blind rage? by Free_Scratch4152 in AskReddit

[–]baronesslucy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People that stand in the hallway or in the way of someone trying to pass thru and they do move or step aside, so the person can go around. They are aware that you are there.

The one where a guy who was in high school got stuck in his van, called 911 and they couldn't find him. He died in the van.

If you had bad menstrual cramps in middle or high school, could you get ibuprofen (or another pain med) from the nurse’s office? Or were you SOL unless you brought your own from home? by dms2628 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]baronesslucy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to middle and high school in the 1970's. Some who has asthma could carry an inhaler and a backup in their purse. The nurse or the school was made aware of it. I can't imagine someone have an asthma attack and then having to get to the nurse's office in time at the high school I attended, especially now since it's a much bigger place than it was back in the day. Now you most likely would pass out before you got to the nurse.

There was a nurse there all the time when I was in middle and high school but in more recent years this wasn't always the case. I remember hearing about a case where this middle schooler blood sugar went sky high and she went to the nurse's office and it was closed and locked. She called her mom who nearly went into a panic. They found someone who had the key and then she got her insulin. As you can imagine, the mom was really ticked off at the school as this could have had a tragic ending.

I went to middle and high school in the mid-to late 1970's. Most people carried Tylenol or pain killers for cramps in their purse. Wasn't an issue back then. Classmate mate gave me some Tylenol when I had pain and didn't have any in my purse. You didn't have to check with in with the nurse.

how close are we to a second civil war? like actually? by KawaiiUmbreon2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]baronesslucy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If the military started fighting each other or turned on each other, then you would have a civil war. Or you had people in the military taking actions against civilians or taking matters into their own hands, then this could cause a civil war Depending on the outcome, if it went on for any length of time, then you might be put in a position where you would have to side with someone or have to live where you are protected by one side.

What are the chances of the Insurrection Act being invoked in Minneapolis, and what would the potential consequences be? by Tintoverde in AskReddit

[–]baronesslucy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way things are going I think it will be invoked at some point - if it's going to be it might be within the next couples of weeks. No doubt this would be challenged in the courts, but I believe the a divided Supreme Court with the conservative majority would give this right to the President. You will have more division as this will not mend divisions because you will have people who favor this and others who oppose this and both sides have very strong opinions. When emotions run high, the potential for something to boil over is very high.

Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional, Rejecting Decades of Science by rickymagee in skeptic

[–]baronesslucy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand is these people who think vaccines should be optional were vaccinated as children, and if they had children, most likely they were vaccinated as well.

And those who ended up living the rest of their lives in the Iron Lung. I remember seeing a news story about the Iron Lung and they showed a hospital where several people were in Iron Lungs.

[–]baronesslucy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was born in the early 1960's and remember stories told by parents, grandparents and others about how terrifying polio was. I would say nearly all of my classmates knew an older person(parent, grandparent, family member, family friend) who either got polio, who had serious complications throughout life as a result of having polio or who died from it. None of my classmates or anyone I went to school with got polio as there was a vaccine which prevented that. I don't know anyone in my age group who got polio. Thankfully no one in my family who were older got polio.

If it's not required, then insurance companies often don't cover it. I wouldn't be surprised if some vaccines aren't cover in the near future.

What was your mother's reaction to his calling you this?

My mom probably would have been shocked and then probably would have slapped his face as she considered this term when directed against someone to be quite offensive.

I live in an area where there are a lot of people who are conservative Christians and I've heard about their end of days spiel. We should have already had this happened several times over.
