Oof, 10 years and you still sucked? Yeah, I’ve seen it pleanty.

So, you were a shit instructor who had barely started teaching at a shit school so that must be how they all are?
Just like everything, you’re going to have a range from great to awful. You sound like you were on the awful side of things. Must suck.
Sincerely, a martial arts instructor.
When I was 6, I was in a boating accident.
My family and I were waterskiing and camping off this little island on the lake. We did it all the time, since my uncle had a speedboat.
My mom was about to take her turn, and I was sitting in the boat behind my uncles seat, facing the back to watch her ski. When my uncle tried to start the boat, it faltered. Made a rut-rut-rut noise but wouldn’t start. After try three or four, I smelled something awful, and pinched my nose. The last thing I remember is my mom asking me if I smelled something bad, and I nodded.
The engine exploded into a ball of fire and engulfed me.
The next thing I know, I’m under water and bobbing to the surface (wear your life-vests, kids). My mom is screaming and my cousin is swimming to me and drags me to shore. My uncle (just outside the blast radius) had reached into the fire to grab me and thrown me into the water.
I was… calm. I felt nothing. We had to hail a passing boat to take us off the island to get to a hospital. I remember my mom asking me if I hurt, and shaking my head.
If i looked at my arms and legs and saw what I looked like at that point, I can’t remember at all, but I was covered in third-degree burns. I was in the hospital for a while, and then was in a wheelchair for a bit while my legs were wrapped. I had to have water therapy for my burns. I do remember the oblong, black boils that developed over my burns in the months that followed. For a long period of time, I couldn’t be in the sun, and had to wear a bonnet when I went to school.
My skin healed beautifully though. I’ve only got one long-lasting scar from it on my shoulder. The doctor said that my uncle throwing me into the cold lake water is what most-likely saved my skin from being permanently damaged. I’m sure being 6 years old helped immensely, too.
What was it like?
I’ve got pairs scattered all over the world at the bottom of lakes. I always forget I have them on my head and lose them in the water when I fall in.
I think there was one guy who did… a mountain lion, maybe? I’ll have to find it again
I was in the right place, right time, found a solid, hardwood dresser at Goodwill for $30!
I’m assuming in a bid to conduct door-to-door preaching is what the title was supposed to say?
All the alternatives make me cringe.
If someone is insulted that you use the term “guys” for a group, they’re not worth being friends with. That’s a lot of exhausting mental energy to deal with. Ignore 'em and move on.
How many groups have you had sex with lately? ಠ_ಠ
Or, maybe she didn’t like banana.
and the guy drugged his own daughter, too. What a piece of shit.
Well, he probably rightly assumed his daughter would not want him assaulting her friends and would tell someone.
Which is kinda funny, because people are sexually asaulted way more by people they know vs. people they don’t know.
Same, but I’m also not concerned about FOSS, I just want a reliable app and sync is it.
We just don’t have the population for it
I started slow jogging every other day, using an app called Just Run that has you alternate walking/running until you’re built up to running a full 3k. It goes for 9 weeks and I just completed week 6. There’s a 10k version I’ll be moving on to after.
On the days I don’t run, I use Chloe Ting weight-training videos on YouTube to target areas I need strength support in, like my lower back and shoulders. I also use her cool down routine every day, it’s the best stretching video I’ve found.
I’ve also been fasting every Monday. Just nothing but coffee (which I do put some sweetener and milk in in the morning) and water.
I only weigh myself once my period has come and gone, since I tend to fluctuate about 10 lbs during. I weighed myself about 3 weeks ago and I’ve lost 13 lbs. I’ve just now started seeing and feeling a change.
That guy is a monster, when tomatoes are that small you pop the whole thing in your mouth and hide the explosion.
That’s just not true. I personally have a gun, but if I walked out into my neighborhood and tried to get a gun from somewhere else, I’d have no idea how to. In fact, if i were a minor, I’d have to do something illegal in order to get a gun. Break into someones house, steal it off someone, find out how to contact someone who illegally sells them and illegally buy them.
Laws don’t do shit. It’s a culture and mental health problem. It’s a problem that started when people realized they would become infamous and obsessed about through the media if they go to this extreme.
The issue that I have with restrictive laws on guns for citizens is two-fold: first, it takes guns away from law-abiding citizens who won’t break the law, but does nothing for those who are willing to break the law, and two, it leaves citizens unarmed against the government, which includes police. We already have a police brutality problem. The fact that people want to give the police even more violent power over citizens is wild to me.
I had this experience in Japan. Just walking around, I would unconsciously start drifting to the right. My friend had to yank me back into position a few times to avoid collision. He was so mad at me, like: “how can you not remember?”
But it was completely unconscious, especially since I was also looking around at something.
But we’re all gonna die,
Decompose into daffodils and dandelions,
The bees will use our flowers for whatever they like,
Make the honey that our grandkids will put inside,
their morning tea, it’s the thing of life.
