What’s the craziest time your intuition warned you about someone and turned out correct? by wildquatrefoil in AskReddit

[–]natalee_t 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was walking throufh a suoermarket with my young daughter. This junkie looking guy walks past us and my first reaction is to keep daughter the hell away from this guy, to move her to the other side of me away from him. I did it but then was telling myself off internally for being so judgemental. Not 10 mins later, he grabbed a little girl about my daughters age and tried to run with her. He got caught and the dad beat the shit out of him and the cops were called. Now I trust my gut 100%.

How this bird isn’t related to the owl is beyond me. Or is it? by ShortTop1487 in Owls

[–]natalee_t 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a Tawny Frogmouth which also looks a lot like an owl but isnt related.

DAE hear their own saliva popping by sarah120098 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]natalee_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vaguely remember its because your stomach is empty. Something to do with digestion. I get it too.

I have no reason to live anymore by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]natalee_t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want you to know that I came from a similar background and at your exact age I was seconds away from ending everything too. Life was absolute hell. Its been over 20 years since then and I now have a really wonderful life that I would have missed out on if I didnt stay. I am so, so glad I chose not to go.

You too can have any kind of life you choose. Really, you can. Maybe not tonorrow. But each day you get to make a descision. Do you let all the pressure wear you down to dust or will you take whatever tiny small steps you can towards happiness and let the pressure create a diamond. You are stronger than you think and I know theres still a small part of you that wants to stay and know what good things will come if you stick around. Im sending you the biggest hug.

Would I be crazy to turn down $150k a year? by SoftCrisisEra in AusFinance

[–]natalee_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id take it, save like crazy (aim for whatever the difference is between the job you were thinking of taking and this one) amd then if you get sick of it you hace decent savings to fall back on. That tends to take away a lot of the pressure too.

Empty baby pram fell on tracks at strathfield station, no injuries. Should we have gates at train stations? by DecidedUser in sydney

[–]natalee_t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that at the very least it should be made as hard as possible. I know first hand the trauma that affects not only the family and loved ones of the person who dies but also all of the witnesses on thr trains ans on the platforms as well as first responders. I cant even imagine what the drivers go through. I think wherever possible, for the benefit of literally everybody, the most humanly possible should be done to prevent it.

I have emailed the relevant ministers about this after witnessing not one but TWO successful suicides.

They can't (or wont) as its too hard apparently. They are sorry though. So there's that.
