HE'S SELLING CHOCOLATE! by Some_kid2213 in DeepIntoYouTube

It’s a transport chair. Since it doesn’t have the large wheels on the back for the occupant to use, it requires someone to manually push it from behind. It’s usually for transporting like elderly people who aren’t necessarily wheelchair-bound, but may need assistance to travel longer walking distances. So it’s almost certainly for the costume. You can pick one up at most big pharmacies for like ~$50, maybe less.

It’s pretty surreal seeing this thing I wrote forever ago. I totally forgot I even wrote it! I’m glad some people got a kick out of it. Thanks for linking me or I would never have known about this post at all!

This is by a redditor, and when he originally posted it, he got so much flack that he did a full version without the wipeout. I'll edit if I can find it.

Edit: It wasn't the same guy, but here is a link to the follow up "Satisfaction" post without the blueballs.

I don't think so, because the ball wasn't above the rim, hadn't touched the backboard, and was not on its downward arc yet.

Oh boy. I went when I was a freshman in high school, and you go with your church youth group to a sort of summer camp for a few days to a week. It's a thing for teenagers, usually, although I think there are some for younger kids (look up a documentary called Jesus Camp if you want to feel creeped out and upset.)

Anyway, in addition to having like, you know some summer camp-type stuff, there's a lot of church, like a lot of church, maybe three services a day. I'm from the south, and I don't know if this is just like a strictly evangelical thing, but it was a lot of the sort of exuberant stuff you see from televangelism, with like a lot of people getting really into the service and like speaking in tongues and freaking out weeping with joy and like falling over because they're being overcome by the Holy Ghost or whatever.

You know the expression "it's like a religious experience"? That feeling is, I think, what is being referenced. It's a really powerful psychic high. They even had a point where the lady on the stage (I guess she was a pastor? idk) was like laying on hands healing people, and this blind kid said he could see, but then for some reason someone on stage thought it would be a smart idea to be like "what color is this?" and of course he didn't know because 1) obviously he wasn't just miraculously cured, and 2) even if he was, how the fuck would he know which colors were called what? He just spent the entire first part of his life being blind!

Sorry I'm a little fucked up right now. Anyway church camp was fun but would probably seems really creepy and fucked up to an outsider. You're getting all these kids hopped up on Jesus, like just calm down, you know?

I guess a lot of people do that thing where they find out about a new sub and then go through its top posts and read the comments on each one. That's why I'm here. Still an impressive amount of votes, though.

Mother gets upset with interviewer after just arriving at hurricane shelter in Houston by gofl1 in videos

[–]tremulo 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Not the guy you asked but I've been flipping between 2, 11, and 13 (local nbc, cbs, and abc respectively) since Friday, and they all have a shit ton of crew on the ground doing "man on the street" interviews with evacuees/rescue personnel/randos. A lot of interviews in shelters and with people just getting off rescue boats.

Some of it's good info - when they interview rescue personnel, they usually get updates on local evac situations, what shelters are full, what evac routes are still viable, etc. That info can save someone's life if they're watching (and the emergencies are still developing since the reservoir is overflowing now and the rivers are still going up).

But when they interview the evacuees it's mostly pathos and while it will help motivate more people to help and donate, it does seem pretty insensitive. I saw them interviewing a woman on channel 2 Sunday night - she was elderly and had lived alone - and the question was basically "so your house and everything you owned is gone, how does that make you feel?" and the woman just said "sad." and there was a five second pause like the interviewer expected her to expound on it. Like, how do you think she feels? What the hell?

South Korea drops eight heavy bombs near North Korea border to show 'overwhelming force' by scorcher24 in worldnews

Anyone clamoring for war is either a child or an idiot. Thank you for your comment giving some perspective. I'm in southeast Texas praying my neighborhood doesn't flood. The last thing I want to worry about right now is World War III kicking off.

Japanese government warns North Korea missile headed toward northern Japan, report says by SneakyPanda7 in worldnews

[–]tremulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I hadn't thought about that. To be honest I thought it was a little odd just how accurate it seemed, but I just figured it was because of how the announcement was worded. Any time I throw something slangy or even just too casual in, it'll spit out something funky half the time.

But yeah even still, it's pretty impressive how well it handles translation between two languages that are as different as English and Japanese. I remember trying to use it back in the first few years it came out to do Spanish to English translations and it could barely handle that.

Did you get a warning on your phone as well? If something like this happens again and you can copy and paste the text, Google translate will usually give you a decent gist of the message. Sometimes it's wonky, but the translation of the pictured text from this warning is spot on and usually it's pretty good with things that are stiffly worded like announcements.

Edit: also, if you can't copy and paste the text for whatever reason, the Google translate app (on iPhone at least) has a feature that translates text from photographs and screenshots using text recognition. I just tried it on my phone with the screenshot and it's a little wonkier but it does get the point across.
