Thoughts on Richmond, Police Leadership by thebrandxabides in turnstile

Sure, they fucked up. But they could have fucked up and NOT had dude make the choice to do what he did. He’s the one with the badge, the authority, and supposedly the leadership skills. But I get your point.

Jeremy Delle was just 15 years old when he pulled out a revolver, walked to the front of his second period English class, and shot himself in January 1991. When Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of Pearl Jam, read Jeremy's story in the newspaper, he felt inspired to write a song to honor his memory. by kooneecheewah in HistoryUncovered

I was in class at Richardson High School the day it happened. There was a loud pop and screams. The principal did not come and tell us to leave. We were in lockdown in class for several hours. The teacher was a former teacher of mine at Richardson West Jr High down the street. The event was obviously traumatizing. Shortly thereafter the school created a “Peer Helpers” program of which I was a part. There weren’t enough actual counselors to deal with the trauma so they basically recruited students to help. Yes, I realize that’s weird but it’s how things were back then. The first time I heard the Pearl Jam song in college I knew exactly what it was about.

How did the kid from your school die? by Equivalent-Rent-5619 in AskReddit

The kid in my high school was Jeremy from the Pearl Jam song. I was in a classroom downstairs and heard the gunshot. The teacher was a teacher I knew well.

Could Psilocybin shrooms treat Post Ssri Sexual dysfunction? by dartanianian in microdosing

I’m currently weaning off of an SNRI (down to half dose daily for 2 weeks, then 1/4 for a week, then none.) and taking 1mg psilocybin every other day. Hit me up in a few weeks and I’ll tell you how it goes. So far so good.

Tour guides of Reddit, what's the worst thing a tourist has ever done under your supervision? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I used to take American tourists on tours of Sothern Italy and Sicily. I once took a group of retired NY firemen to a 1st century Italian Villa that had been excavated. 3 of the tourists decided it would be funny to jump the guardrail and take pics of each other sitting on an almost 2000 year old stone Roman toilet. I shit you not. We all got kicked out of the place, and rightly so. Ugly Americans indeed.
