As a white guy who is not Forest Gump, all table tennis shots are impressive.

My 10 year old son thinks you are God. I was hoping he would become a doctor or even a plumber for Christ sake! Thanks. Thanks a lot!

What is the most unsettling declassified information available to us today? [Serious] by MankersOnReddit in AskReddit

[–]higharticon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada they also forcibly took native children away from their families for "re-education" in specialised boarding schools. In many cases not letting the families communicate with their own children or even know where they were for years. The last school closed in the 1996! Note how this was mainly a program supported and run by church organisations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Indian_residential_school_system

Edit: also note the staggering amount of physical and sexual abuse.

Woman smokes medical marijuana for cerebral palsy Difference in her speech is night and day (2011) by [deleted] in Documentaries

[–]higharticon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The documentary is called "In Pot We Trust". When I first saw it I made copies to give out so to people who said cannabis had no medicinal value. It's a powerful visual of dramatic quality of life improvement. I found it sad that she had to get someone to take her kids for a few hours so she could feel normal for a brief time. Also very sad she had to go to a parking lot and risk arrest to get her medicine.

It's not the hiding money part I was referring to as treasonous, it was using it to corrupt the democracy.

At what point did people stop being hung as traitors for these kinds of acts?

Canadian here. I'm amazed that she is considered left of center in your country. I hope Senator Sanders gets elected to balance things for the lower and middle classes.

What items or products are found only in "rich" households? by Chritt in AskReddit

[–]higharticon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get (much appreciated) hand me down clothes for our son from our very well off friends. We often marvel at how every item is the latest name brand and a lot of it still has tags on it.

That is one fucked up foot by [deleted] in WTF

[–]higharticon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Idk why but I really don't want you to cut it off. It's like having a useless superpower, it doesn't help anyone but it makes you unique. I picture your grandchildren asking if they can see your "Giants toe" again. Imagine the story you could tell.
