"Whoa.\nWhat's that shard made of? What were you machining? What tool? Some details would be appreciated OP",
"Looks like a piece of a grinder wheel.",
"Yea, it's a cut off wheel.",
"Or the importance of checking your tools for damage.",
"grinder disk broke\n",
"Some thing is telling me you weren’t using the grinder properly ",
"That’s what she said",
"I've seen these cut off wheels explode before. Guys try to cut too deep with them, they bind and shatter occasionally. Especially if the guy had been using it as a sander previously which degrades the sides. ",
"This can happen even with a brand new high quality cut-off disc. It can get caught in the work, and at the speed it's turning, will basically explode. This looks like it was a large size disc too which means you would be using a much more powerful grinder than a dremel. This is why you should always use both a face shield and safety glasses and never line yourself up with rotation of the disc if you can avoid it.",
"It's a couple year old picture, you won't get much information ",
"Fucking angle grinders, probably the scariest tool I use at work. It's actually kind of amazing that the glasses stopped the shard",
"Cutoff wheels break pretty regularly, even if your technique is ok, depending on what you're doing.",

"You wouldn't have made a good pirate anyways",
"Only if to much pressure is applied",
"Prove it",
"Or if the piece shifts or bends as you cut it and the wheel binds, or if...\n\nThe correct amount of pressure to guarantee the wheel won't break is zero. Put down the grinder and use a hacksaw. It's the only way to be sure.",
"Well the piece shouldn’t be “shifting” if you had it set up correctly. ",

"same thing happened to be but the sander got me in the face.",
"I think this is from a die grinder, typically their higher rpm, right?",
"Looks like OP was cutting metal with a [cut off disk](https://www.blackrocktools.com/rotozip-direct-drive-metal-cut-off-wheels-dd-pm5.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA7ovTBRAQEiwAo8dPcQY1nRMDoAHzYKjG8Bu-ekjoR4slBNE_jEwIqhb8yUuwN1E7Vqk6cxoCBGQQAvD_BwE&s_kwcid=AL!3645!3!59049793315!!!g!!&ef_id=Wd7wJQAAAFqQ4Hl0:20180120102942:s) and it just broke. Not terribly uncommon at the speeds these things spin at. Touch it to the metal too hard, or cut deep and accidentally twist a bit and the blade shatters almost like that episode of the slow-guys where they were breaking CD's.",
"well, looks like that was no skin off his nose",

"I have to agree here. ",
"The importance of PROPER safety gear. ALWAYS make sure your gear is ANSI-certified (or similarly from your appropriate national governing body).",
"thats what the lesbian said",
"Yes",
"My mate used to do this before it exploded, didn't get any injuries, but still thought himself a lesson. He was not wearing any protection, could have ended very bad. \n\nAlso sometimes there is asshole bosses who says you waiste too much time when you change disc for sander purpose and people end up using one disc for everything.",
"if seth macfarlane was a female, he would definitely be a lesbian",
"Even if the tool is in perfect condition you can still slip and fuck up",
"I was going to say, \"Yeah, it saved his eye, but what if it'd hit him anywhere else in the head?\"",
"Not every mass-produced item is flawless.\n\nFatigue adds up.\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_(material)\n\nThere are also a bunch of cases where CDs shattered in faster drives. No pressure whatsoever was applied there. The centrifugal force just ripped them apart.",
"How about correct use of the grinder's safety guard?",
"As an eye doctor, saved me a shit tonne of work",
"Totally, but if there's chips and cracks in it to start with, then it's not doing you any favors.",
"Take two and think it through! ",
"That's why i hate grinding wheels lol. They give me anxiety",
"Probably dug too hard into whatever he was cutting/grinding",
"Lucky guy, safety glasses saved my own eye once when a piece of molten metal flew in my face. People used to scoff at me for wearing them too (yes, that attitude still prevails in some construction companies).",
"Last week, I was just walking by and a shattered shard of an angle grinder disc flew past my face so close I felt the breeze. I stood in stunned silence for a while just thinking about this picture and all of the horrible ways it could have mangled/killed me.\n\nDon't sharpen your machete with an angle grinder while innocent bystanders are nearby. ",
"These have earned the nickname death wheel in a lot of places for exactly this reason",
"At times like these I do the [Safety Dance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPau5QYtYs)",
"hope o ",
"Is that a grinder blade? Are you a tin banger?",
"Worked at a place once where I had to teach everyone basic bench grinder safety. Rule one was never stand in front of the bench grinder when you turn it on.\n\nLuckily people listened and when the wheel did explode no one was hurt. Never did get them to understand why grinding aluminum was a bad idea though...",
"This is especially common when people remove the safety guards and install larger discs than designed for. Don't do this, smaller angle grinders spin faster than big ones and greatly exceed the man rpm of larger discs. And you have no safety guards. People have been killed doing this",
"“But what if he shot you in the face?”",
"What about aluminum makes it a bad idea to grind it? Does the disc get stuck in alu faster then iron of something?",
"\"But what if he has a point-ed stick?\"",
"Understandable, have a nice day",
"There are low speed/high torque grinders now.\n\nThe one I use was quite expensive but I’ve yet to explode a disc with it. And it cuts through metal like nothing I’ve ever used. ",
"\"There are some materials that can cause major problems if you try to grind them. In particular, the big no-no with grinders is aluminum. Aluminum melts easily, and if you were to try to grind down aluminum, it would start to melt and the aluminum would coat the wheel.\n\nThe stone would grind the aluminum for a while, but particles would start getting embedded in the pores of the stone. And the next time the stone comes around, there's no grit exposed, only little bits of aluminum. So the aluminum on the piece rubs against the aluminum on the wheel, producing more heat, which produces more melting, and so on.\n\nThe natural response of the person at the wheel is to push the piece harder against the wheel. But this will only cause more friction and heat up the wheel faster. If the wheel heats up enough, it can explode.\"\n\nFrom http://web.mit.edu/course/other/machineshop/Grinder/aluminum.html",
"Nornally a bench grinder has two different griding discs, one for ferrous and one for non ferrous materials. This is because grinding softer non-ferrous materials in the wrong disc will clog the pores in the grinding disc with metal. This can upset the balance of the disc as its spinning and cause it to explode.",
"That... was a risk we were willing to take",
"Safety first!",
"I used to work in a factory and the rule was simple. If you're on the factory floor (not offices, break rooms, etc.) You're wearing your safety glasses. People hated it. Unbelievably so. I had to conduct some training and safety wasn't my department but it was a quick slide in my presentation. I started taking with me a new pair of safety glasses, and a \"retired\" pair because I would replace them every 3 or so months. Why? Because they'd get so covered in little nicks and scratches just walking around the floor they wouldn't be easy to see through anymore. \"every one of those scratches would've hit my eyes instead. Serious damage, probably not. But it's pretty stupid to risk it.\" People were unimpressed.\n\nAnyway, wear your damn safety's.",
"Grinding wheels are porous and aluminum pushes into the pores. Aluminum also expands alot when it gets hot. So fast expanding metal will fracture the wheel when you are using it.\n\nSanding wheels are fine to the best of my knowledge.",
"What about the rest of your face?",
"You ruined your chance at a sick eye patch",
"It's almost as if that's the point of the whole post.",
"Yup. Read Ansi B7.1",
"I've probably gone through 50+ discs. I've only had it break in use once when i tweaked it the wrong way. I buy the cheap discs. ",
"The importance of buying quality cutting wheels",
"I worked at an abrasive manufacturer... We made and tested wheet cups cones, etc. All handmade on presses. Every wheel balance tested. Sure it's more expensive but it minimizes lawsuits. An people like to sue for user error.\n\n\nFYI never use a cup or cone that has been dropped.",
"Should have had a face shield on. Smh. You got very lucky. Learn from this little doozy. ",
"There’s high speed video of those failures happening, it’s not just centrifugal force, it’s almost like there’s a standing wave that flexes the CD on a positive feedback loop until it grenades.",
"Don't ever use a cutoff wheel for grinding",
"Gross facial hair",
"i see these about once a year and i say to myself that i will finally start wearing safety glasses while using the grinder, but i never do.",
"\"SHUT UP\"",
"Are tin bashers the only people who use zip discs where you're from? Pretty much everyone that works with metal could conceivably use those. \n\nAll of them should be wearing face shields. Your jugular is awfully exposed.",
"this should be \"The importance of shaving before being able to grow a beard\"\n\nEDIT: glad you're okay.",
"Jesus Christ, I was a carpenter for 10 years and I definitely played fast and loose with safety equipment sometimes. I’m relieved I got out of the profession completely in tact.",
"The type of repost that gets my upvote every time. ",
"Aye, centrifugal force, that's the thing.\n\nEven a brand new disc can have a tiny defect in it that will cause it to shatter when used, even the first time.\n\nThe probability of it happening is pretty low, but the number of eyes i have is pretty low too, so i'm not taking any risks and i'm wearing my PPE.\n\nSource: i'm a welder and i work with dangerous shit every day.",
"Thats my nightmare. I hate to work with those tooks. ",
"Luckily it didnt break off and lodge itself in your face. WEAR. A FACE SHIELD.",
"The risk he took was calculated. He is good at math.",
"Is there any porno where this is the plot?",
"Yea - he said face shield.",
"Like most other tools let the blade do the work, if you force it, it will get caught, bend, explode, get dull.\n \n\nSource experience: had a few blow up as an apprentice and miss my face, or leg narrowly. Since correcting haven't had one explode in 10 years. They just get dull and shrink, simply replace it before it loses it's integrity by shrinking too much",
"Lesbihonest, that was a bad joke.",
"That would have saved his neck....",
"Thats why he said a face shield...",
"No no no, no way that can be safe enough, he needs to suit up in a full suit of armor. ",
"Make sure you only use a gun that is less than the max speed of the wheel!",
"You have to wear a faceshield when grinding to prevent even this from happening. \n\nThere are many safety videos on how to use grinders properly but one fact that many dont know is that you shouldnt use these if they get wet at all. ",
"And dropping these can cause cracks that are not visible, why learning the basics is so important ",
"When I first started my welding career, about 12 years ago, we didn't use guards, handles, or face shields with our grinders. Now, you're fired on the spot if you're missing any one of those. But it's not because they actually care about our safety, it's because any incident that requires medical attention will raise their insurance rates and a poor safety record prevents getting contracts.",
"Too much RPM? It happened when my father once did it, he placed a large disk on a small (but really fast) angle grinder and it shattered on second touch, thank God he had safety glasses on, the disk's edge shattered into small pieces (like sand) and it scratched him all over his face, it was so fast that if he didn't wear the glasses he would have been hit in the eyes",
"Care to list the brand and model you have experience with. I use a 7” grinder a lot and it scares the shit out of me most of the time.",
" Wow. those sample videos are still in quicktime and vivo.",
"That's why I have a picture saved on my phone of half a cut off wheel stuck in a guy's chin as a reminder. ",
"Eye didn't see that coming! ",
"Did you not read his comment?",
"Yea, never put a 7\" disk on a 5\" grinder unless you hate your face.",
"The importance of shaving",
"That shit is no joke, a guy at the last company I worked for nearly died because a grinder disk hit him in the face out in the field and he bled out for over an hour before life flight could reach him. Was wearing safety glasses but no face shield and dumb enough the face shield was a few feet away at the foreman's feet. 4 people got fired that day for sheer stupidity, and violating company policy regarding the use of a grinder. This was maybe 6+ years ago and they still keep a picture of the guy's mangled face up in the shop bulletin board.",
"A lot of people use them without the safety guard.",
"First to call it: fake. You ain't getting a piece of a cut off wheel in glasses like that, this is staged. ",
"Most likely he was using a Metabo saw with a blade rated for far less RPM. This also can happen when people use the cutting disc as a grinder or if the blade gets used with a crack in it.",
"It would be a bummer but he wouldn't lose his vision.",
"Is that Gus Johnson?",
"Chicago electric $19.99",
"Only if it's encased in bubble wrap in case he trips from all that heavy armor.",
"Google image search for \"cutting disc injury\" is one of the most horrifying searches one can do. Seriously. If you do the search do not say I didn't warn, definitely NSFW. I just bought a grinder/cutter and did all the due diligence, definitely a tool that deserves respect. ",
"Could have just as easily cut his nose in half. Full face shield is a must. ",
"An inch lower and it would have messed up the money maker.",
"I bought one of those. Had a really helpful feature where it has an automatic trigger lock that locks it to the ON position. Nothing safer than an angle grinder you can’t easily turn off!",
"Angle grinder could totally do this too though. There's a reason they're referred to as death wheels.",
"We have other subreddits for those pictures.",
"You realise that a face-guard also protects the eyes? Due to the eyes being in the face, usually...",
"Good thing it was flying for his eyes and not 2 inches lower ",
"I actually had a cut off wheel explode and cut me on the forearm. Bloody hell.",
"Face shield every time too. Keeping your body out of the plane of execution is also smart.",
"Yeah I started wearing glasses everywhere when I got a wire wheel needle stuck in my upper cheek. \n\nA quarter inch north and I wouldve been living a nightmare.",
"Glasses and shield bro ",
"Nopenopenope",
"Yeah i can definitely see the point",
"I got nailed in the head with a hunk of wood flying off my saw. Couldn't make it stop bleeding for quite a while but all I could think was, \"thank god I was wearing glasses, thank god I was wearing glasses, thank god I was wearing glasses...\"",
"I guess my thought here was, \"That looks like a chunk of metal that came off a machine that works at high speed. I wonder if it could travel fast enough to pierce the skull or the underside of the chin.\"",
"This is why automation is a good thing ",
"So, in the same way almost literally every other company in the world cares about your safety? They spend a lot (A LOT) of money on you, training, benefits, salary, physical space, etc. Often times the “all in” on an employee can be almost double the actual salary of the individual, so you have a ton of perceived value in the company, and they don’t want you to fuck that up and cost them even MORE money. They aren’t your mom, they don’t care about your person out of selflessness, but they still care.",
"Usually.",
"Damn! Are you lucky (or smart) for putting on those safety glasses.",
"I'm one so I was curious...",
"Must admit angle grinders are far lower down on my \"list of scary tools\" I tend to rate the power plane at the top, then the router. Power plane terrifies me D: ",
"I feel this to strongly. ",
"Yeah. Fuck angle grinders. I had 7.5\" disc grinding wheel come apart and cut through my leather gloves and into my wrist. It happened so fast and violently that I didn't notice anything had cut into me until I looked down at my hand.",
"My dad was using a 6in dewalt stainless cutoff in an enclosed space just big enough for him and the tool. The disc bound and chucked the still running 13 amp grinder into his face sheild. Chunks of disc everywhere as well. Seriously kids, wear your safety gear. If there's a peice of safety gear for it, it's because somebody got royally fucked up in the past. ",
"COULD BE WRONG - but that looks like the groove was cut with a grinder and then that chunk was stuck in for dramatic effect. Absolutely face protection should be worn, i have seen these discs blow up many times - but I am gonna have to call bullshit on this one. ",

"Really? I gotta say, I *know* the router is dangerous, but damn if it isn't one of my all time favourite power tools. Routering with sharp bits is such a joy.\n\nAnd what's so scary about the planer? At least the knives are always facing away from you and down into the piece.\n\nAnyway according to the insurance company none of these tools make the list. Most dangerous tool is the ladder, second most dangerous is the humble olfa knife.",
"No side grinding.",
"Same thing happened to me with a framing nailer that stuck a mechanism and decided to go full-auto. First nail went right where I wanted, second one splintered the piece, third one sunk deep into the base of my thumb. We don't get paid enough.",
"\"Well I got off work early, and you know my buddy Derrick? Well he was like, 'I got this acid, but I can't do it' and I was all like, 'well, I'll do it'. So I did it. And by the time I got on my banana board man, I was tripping balls pretty hard man. So I decided to get on my bench grinder, and a piece of metal flew up and hit me right in the eye, it was pretty awesome.\"",
"uggggggh. Even with safety glasses on, this shit can blind you. My solution to this is use angle grinders as infrequently as possible (plus goggle).",

"Jesus that's scary.\n\nHow would someone go about preventing this from happening?",
"Or if you're using a cutting disc to grind.",

"More likely than not, yes. But the wound probably would have been severe enough to warrant a trip to the ER, which is expensive for an individual. And if he was at work, it would cause a decreased safety rating for the company and a lot of other expenses. ",

"I used to be a shift manager at a Boston Market. We had someone chopping veggies every morning and they were supposed to wear a cut glove under their food prep glove. One day I walked past an employee doing this without her cut glove and made her put it on, but she took it off when I left. A couple minutes later she starts screaming, she cut off the tip of her thumb. Then I got to take her to the ER. There are reasons behind safety gear regulations, wear your safety gear!",
"Thanks for sharing this. I’m going to use this photo to explain to other people why they need to wear that shit. ",
"Ya, my favourite feature on newer power tools is the electric brake, for sure. Use a circ saw with a brake for a while and you'll wonder how you got any work done without it. ",
"That disc is cheap as fuck. I agree even expensive discs can be dangerous but only if your are using them incorrectly. ",
"Nah ive been a welder for almost 6 years now. Thats using an angle grinder almost daily. Ive had ONE disc shatter on me, and that was on a weird job where i had no other choice, so i put on every piece of safety equipment i could find and kinda expected it to shatter.\n\nEither American cut off discs are literal trash or your technique is definitely not \"ok\" ",

"All this tell me is that they don't quite understand the universe. Dark matter is just a placeholder to explain the inconsistencies. It's based on the observation that galaxie's outer bodies orbit at the same rate as the inner bodies. So this means there must be unaccounted for mass. But they don't really know. My thinking is that gravity is not constant across the universe. Space is not uniform and has weak and strong places. Galaxies are just markers of where the gravity is stronger so mass accumulates in those places. It's like puddles on the street. It doesn't mean that there's unaccounted for water. It just means it's a depression. "

"Would have had to leave in any case. But most likely the Germans had no plans of doing so.\n",

"It infuriates me that one continues debate (well not really debating since the truth here is very obvious, objective and blatant) without even bothering to looking it himself even a bit. I.e. just being ignorant. Why I am being a dick is because you are probably too, pretending to be stupid just to annoy.

Staunch realism in sketches, paintings, etc. is boring. We have cameras for that, and there were cameras during Van Gogh's time as well.

It would have an actual load bearing structure similar to [this bridge](https://i.imgur.com/kMliiGs.jpg) (although it doesn't look like it in this photo, it is an arched bridge), and the facade would be entirely cosmetic.\n\nThe only design requirement keeping the bridge from looking older is the budgetary constraints.

"If you look in my previous picture, I took in during a school trip. My friend stood on this cliff, I told him to get closer to the edge and pose. But my teacher yelled at us there is no time and the bus is going to go. So he climbed down and I was left with an empty picture. It still looked nice, but with this human on top it now looks better",
"Haha nice, it’s always easier working with black pictures so you don’t need to worry about shadowing and light",
"That is so true haha! Tell you a little secret, in the original picture you could see a little bit of the cliff and mountains, I photoshopped it to be completely black so it'll be easier to work with. "

"American staffy?",
"I have a staffy named Bailey! She's a red but they give the same looks lol ",
"Nah English, he’s a total legend. I support the person (she has Cerebral Palsy) that owns him, their isn’t a lot of consistency in his life. I took him through puppy preschool with her, he was a little craphead for a long time and still is for a lot of the people that support her, since being desexed and maturing a bit I have fallen totally in love with him. He’s 10 months old",
"Hahah wow!!!!\nHe is happiest when he is in the front passenger seat of the car, always the first in and last out.",
"Does yours have an amazing vocal range like this guy? When he hears something he doesn’t like, like skateboards he makes some of the strangest sounds I’ve ever heard an animal make",
"Great dogs. I don’t think I ever want to not have a staffy. We have a red Amstaff X English staffy named Chilli. \n\nPups are always hard work! That’s a nice story, I’m glad you have a new friend ",
"My family cat that we had for 19 years name was Chilli, yeah I’m pretty sure he’s a cross from what I’ve heard, he’s pretty small, he refuses to go on the scales no matter what you do, the last time he was weighed he was 8kg I’m gonna guess he’s around 11 now.",
"He shadows me wherever I go, she gets quite jealous over how much he seems to love me - even though I’m the evil person that baths him.. She is very hard to understand and doesn’t have much control over her vocal range so he doesn’t listen to her whatsoever unfortunately, just likes to lick her face off and she loves it.\nHe hates being bathed, but when I wash down/clean the bathroom floor afterwards he always comes and eats/attacks the water, hahahah he’s certainly a little character.",
"Yep Chilli loves people and will follow us around the house all day. She’s quite timid though and has slowed down a lot, she’s about 9 now. Hates water, loves food. Loves anyone who feeds her haha. \n\nIs Bailey just a friend for your friend with cerebral palsy? ",
"Yep, she had a staffy named Xena previously but she had to get rid of her because of her living situation. Now she’s out on her own, she has her ‘son’ and he is her world.. She calls me his uncle....\nI’ve known her for 17 years we are 2 years apart age wise, I have been in the disability field for 11, I worked with her 8-9 years ago for a few years on a day program and for the last 2 years I’ve done 3 24 hour shifts a fortnight with her. I’m on a 48 hour shift at the moment, I’m not gonna lie I am counting down the hours.",
"He's about to drop his next hot single.",
"My Bai grunts like crazy. She doesn't bark a whole lot but she grunts and sighs and grumbles allllll the time about everything! If I toss and turn too much at night she will get up, look at me, sigh like a human and go sleep on the couch. ",
"Hahahah, if there is someone on a skateboard nearby, he is quite the improvisational vocalist.",
"Hahahah yeah that’s like him, he’s snoring like crazy right now. He does the quietest little whimper when he wants or feels like he is missing out on something. He doesn’t bark at much but when he does he sounds ten times the size he is....\nOne of my most memorable moments with him was when he got out, he jumped straight in the car, I went and got his lead and as soon as he saw it he took off up the street, I’m pretty sure he was thinking “screw you, I’ll walk myself” he went from house to house down the street saying hi to all the neighborhood dogs while playing games with me, I didn’t run after him I just walked as fast as I could and whenever he looked at me I got down low and used a high voice to try and get him to come to me, he would just run circles around me - it was all a game. He was about 500m from an extremely busy main road before he stopped to say hi to the last dog on the street he know/barks at him, he just looks at them, before he decided he was buggered and decided he was worn out and it was time to lay down to have an instant nap, I saw his and my life flash before my eyes. If he had got injured or killed it would have been on me and the girl or lady - she’s 28 I support would have hated me forever and had to be omitted to a mental health ward..\nSomeone had my back that day, now I am so careful to when the door is opened, he will never get away from me again in his or my lifetime and I will never trust him off lead, ever, even in large dog parks.",
"Bai sounds like Marge Simpson when she barks lmao. Like she's been smoking all her life. She looks like a badass and when she barks I can't help but laugh. And she snores ALL THE TIME even when she's awake sometimes. Right now she's laying on top of the couch like a cat and watching the road. It's been too cold for long walks but I think we will take one today.\n\nBai escaped once, and I was so terrified that my normally quiet voice changed and when she was marching down the walkway I said \"DOWN!\" And she immediately hit the sidewalk laying down and looked at me like \"what did I do?!\". I was terrified she'd get hit or shot. People here have a love/hate mentality towards staffys/pitties. ",
"Awww, you are lucky! And have obviously trained her well... He just decided to be a defiant little mofo that day...\nIt’s a bit the same here, except because he’s so small most people aren’t intimidated by him, however yesterday he was looking at a small child, he loves kids and is very gentle with them and the little boy was saying “that dog hates me mum, he’s mean” hahah, he was tethered to a park bench while we were having a rest while walking and enjoying the sunset.\nWe take him in grocery stores and large shopping centers frequently, he happily sits on the tray on her wheelchair, sometimes I put him in her power chair and just drive him around mine and his amusement 😊.\nI never had much experience with dogs growing up, but now their aren’t many I don’t love, apart from the odd one that has obviously been raised terribly... It’s not the breed it’s the owner 98% of the time!",
"Awe I am sad that little boy said that! Bai likes kids too. She loves to sniff their hair. But she's so enthusiastic that she sniffs them like a quarterback in a football game lol. \n\nI'm sad at how people treat them. I was wanting to move to England not long ago and I was researching to bring her with me and promptly told \"NO\" by the officials I spoke with. I didn't end up moving anyway but I was working so hard to bring her with me. \n\nBailey is decently trained.. she has moments. I think that day it was mostly shock and not obedience because I never raise my voice and I was terrified so I roared... Well. Womanly roared lol. ",
"That sucks! They aren’t classed as a dangerous dog here, whereas pitties are. It all comes down to awful owners, abuse and exploitation.\n\nHahaha that’s like Bailey or Billy we call him - because for one whole lesson of preschool the 4th lesson she called him Billy the whole time and said it in such a way that it was ingrained in mine and the lady I supports brains. The lady I support has 4 nieces and 1 nephew all under 5 and he adores them, but sometimes a bit to much.\n\nYeah it did me to, I don’t know why he had that idea, I wish his parents had pulled him up on it and even introduced him, but they obviously weren’t dog people.\nHahahh... I was scared to yell at him or run or do anything, I just wanted to crawl into a ball and disappear - I think it was just a moment for him also because prior to that he used to happily roam around the car park of the complex she lives in and he would always come when called, he just went into full on play mode and nothing was stopping him from having a ball.",
"They considered her a pit..... She looks staffy to me though. She's a rescue, so I said she's a mutt but they also wouldn't accept that....\n\nSo you help take care of someone? Is Bailey like a service dog for them? \n\nBailey https://imgur.com/a/Ht8EI\nHere is my girl :) ",
"I'm a simple man. I see a pitbull. I downvote. ",
"Awww she’s gorgeous.... What a joke that is!!!\nYeah I do, I’m a disability support worker, have been basically since I left school I’m 30 now. We were going to go through the process of getting him certified as a ‘companion dog’ which would mean she could get him in anywhere but it was all to much... The lady I support loves football and would love to take him to games, as other people do, but it wasn’t worth the time, $$$ and effort. To be an ‘assistance dog’ is even harder. She’s happy enough that we can take him shopping and to doctors appointments etc, most people are very compassionate and understanding.",
"He’s not a pitbull but ok, downvote away.",
"Oh wow thats awesome! It does cost a lot to get them trained and certified. I looked at getting Bai certified as a therapy companion because I have an anxiety disorder and PTSD but she's 7 so I don't know how that would go. \n\nI'm surprised you can take him shopping and to appointments! They wouldn't allow that here unless you have papers proving their certification. ",
"Does she [sploot](https://imgur.com/gallery/CNUDG) also, it’s the only way Billy likes to lay, it’s adorable.",
"Yes it is quite the process. I’m sorry to hear you are suffering from those conditions, I’m in a very similar boat, anxiety owns me and after a combination of a quite major motorcycle accident and my best friend hanging himself, my mind is not my greatest friend. Generally if we can we try and approach the management for permission first, if not we just do it until the tell us we can’t, which they never have. I think it’s mainly the wheelchair and the fact he obviously makes me extremely happy that people don’t bother to make a deal of it.",
"You're probably right about that. \n\nI'm sorry to hear about your friend. And your accident. I'm the same age you are but the past two years I've been working really hard to heal and I can honestly tell you it does get better. Of course I still have moments, I always will, but my overall level of happiness has improved a great deal. It takes some time, and some self study. Bai helps. She responds to my anxiety and if I have a break down she's right there (I live alone so she is my companion and guardian) \n\nAre you wheel chair bound too? Or is it the lady you care for? \n\nI wanted a motorcycle but I'm so clumsy that it has deterred me lol. ",
"Lol yes she sploots!! He's so adorable!!! I love their sweet faces. ",
"No just she is - *touch wood*. I ride road bikes and dirt bikes, except at the moment I have torn ligaments in my wrist - 6-12 month recovery 🤬 from a skateboarding incident... it is driving me insane as adrenaline and physical activity is my main outlet and nothing does it for me like bikes.\n\nThankyou for your kind words.\nI’d love to continue chatting but I have to be awake and functioning in 5 hours - I will be sure to check in with you again in the next few days as I have thoroughly enjoyed talking to you. Thanks for making my night 🙂. Have a lovely day/night. ✌🏼",
"I leave you with something for your [viewing](https://youtu.be/Tqr-qOyX3gA) pleasure, atleast I captured the moment where I did [this](https://i.redd.it/lf1tpjb2nyrz.jpg) to myself, I am now partially [bionic](https://i.redd.it/yyrfx51674sz.jpg)",
"Of course! I look forward to it! Good night! ",
"Ow!!!! Yeah you can see you favoring when you get up. Geez! I got nervous when you went near the trees lol. I kinda wish I had a go pro growing up lol. I used to ride horses and I have an old tailbone injury from riding bareback full tilt and my horse hit a slick spot. He went one way and I went the other and landed straight on my ass",
"black beauty ha ha",

The whole house is surrounded by iron fencing with a couple of no trespassing signs and take-photos-from-across-the-street signs. Now, I had no intention of really setting foot on the property in any way as I was really just stopping by for the sight and to say I did, but the owner, who was sitting from outside the garage, was very verbal about me not standing at least from the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street and leaving as soon as possible. I actually was hoping to see if there was any sort of pizza stain (albeit years after filming that great scene and what I imagine were at least one new paint/shingle job) which I would have done from the sidewalk adjacent to the house, which I believe is technically public property, and then have gone off without too much time to really consider my visit loitering. But man, that owner just really sapped my excitement of having shown up. I did get a couple of pictures though, but I was kinda hoping for a more approachable person to ask questions with.\n\ntl;dr if you throw a pizza on that house, I feel like you'll definitely be having some police involvment",

Up until this show, most television seemed like a blur of police or medical dramas that had no real character arcs.

"You laugh, but when the show came out, there were a lot of news stories about the uptick in meth use, and my cousin was one of those people. He actually got arrested, naked, drugged out of his mind, in a nursery, jerking it to child porn. I'll back up. So my cousin was always sort of weird, and we always knew that. He obsessed over whatever television show he would watch, and threw himself into it. It was always comedies and dramas in the medical field though, so he was a big ER fan, Grey's Anatomy fan, scrubs fan, you get the idea. Anyway, so I introduced him to Breaking Bad, thinking it would broaden his Horizons, and it was good to see something a little less morally black and white. Hindsight is 20/20; that was a huge mistake. Anyway, the 25-year old neckbeard decides he loves the show so much he takes a vacation out west and goes on a Breaking Bad tour. There, he makes a friend who is selling \"blue meth style rock candy\" (his words). He is such a poor judge of character, he doesn't realize this person is literally selling meth. He thought it was just a really expensive thematic prop. So, by the time he gets back, he really enjoys the thought of getting more meth, but 'isnt addicted'. He starts to emotionally distance himself, and right around the finale of the show, no one has heard from him in about a month. The silence is getting pretty concerning, so one day I draw the short straw (I'm the only young guy in my extended family, so least likely to get raped or murdered), go over to his shady ass appartment complex, and get confronted by his dealer/pimp, Gregg \"With Two G's\". Turns out he disappeared last week, and still owed Gregg something like $1,500. He pulls out a switchblade, moves in closer, and suggest I help my cousin with his debts. So anyway, I thought Breaking Bad was a good show, but had some flaws.",

"The reason it doesn't feel nearly that long ago to me is because Breaking Bad started getting really popular around the middle seasons. With the appearance of such amazing characters as Gus Fring, Mike, and Saul, the show started getting really memetic. That's when famous scenes like that really gross one you all know I'm talking about started spreading rapidly through word-of-mouth and social media. That's when the show picked up a vast secondary audience - myself included. In fact I think I finally watched Breaking Bad in 2014, shortly after it had finished airing. So for me, Breaking Bad really appeared on my radar in 2014, only 4 years ago.\n\nWhat's really surreal for me, though, is that this post reminded me that I *did* hear about Breaking Bad back in its early days, in 2008. I remember seeing ads for it on TV. Those dingy, slow commercials with the stupid flash-cards written in the Periodic-Table font which, in all of 30 seconds, told me absolutely nothing about the show; they really failed to sell me on it.

"I’m four episodes away from finishing this series for the first time! Good to see I’m only 10 years late hopping on the bandwagon.",
"Insects were a common motif used in the series, either as a metaphor for characters, or whatever. For instance in the final season episode when Walt rolls the money in the barrel across the desert, he was likened to a dung beetle rolling shit around. \n\nThere are more insect symbolisms , but it's been a while since I've thought about Breaking Bad, so I don't remember a lot of them. Anyway, the fly is in that same theme, just a whole episode devoted to it. It can be interpreted in multiple ways, but flies are attracted to shit, garbage, and dead things. Walt was finally achieving success in the face of past failure in his science career, but it was in a shit hole lab. And his obsession with perfection, which was his major strength in his talent, was being used for garbage (meth), and his wanting to catch the fly also illustrated this perfection driving him to insanity. Also the fly was a constant little thing in the background that was on his mind, irritating him because there was a chance it could turn into a big problem - obviously paralleling the secrets he keeps in his life. \n\nSo many possible interpretations, I thought it's a great episode.",
"I was actually legitimately angry when I first seen the fly episode because of how bad I thought it was, I almost stopped watching the series entirely. \n\nIt was only towards the end of the final season, and seeing how perfectly everything else had been put together, that I realized this episode had been put in deliberately. For those who don't know, the episode (in the middle of the entire series) is meant as the turning point where Walt shifts past the 50% point turning into Heisenberg. It's meant to signify (in artistic form) that Walt will never cut corners or leave anything to chance in his quest to become a kingpin. The obsessive pursuit of the \"fly in the laboratory\" is symbolic of his eventual systematic killing of anybody that threatens his business and turning on even his family to get what he wants. In the second half of the series you often think Walt will make a rational or human choice, but you're supposed to think back to the fly episode and remember he's not really human anymore, he's Heisenberg.\n\nKnowing this, and having a broader view of the entire story arc, I think it's worth going back and watching the fly episode again once you've finished the final episode. It really is a nice artistic piece that puts everything else in perspective.\n\n\n",

"Viceland and IFC ",
"slow your roll)) what about The Wire )",
"I agree with you, it ended amazingly and with the perfect amount of seasons. I do think they could've had an episode or two more in both parts of the last season because it feels like everything was happening so fast, but still so glad they ended it before it became one of those shows that drags on. ",
"The Sopranos was before Breaking Bad. So was The Wire. They are both considered classic series now. The USA does produce some top notch drama I will say that. ",
"This to me is so wrong.\nThis is a show about the making of illegal drugs, murder and dangerous cartels.\nThere's a scene in the very first season of human sludge coming down from the ceiling after someone gets dissolved in acid.\nA guy shoots a kid.\nBut heavens forbid there's more than one fuck per season!\nLet's make sure and count the \"shits\", otherwise we're in deep trouble. \n\nThis to me makes no sense at all.",
"What if he is 7 or 8 y.o.?",
"i got through 3 seasons IIRC\n\nstill meh",
"The problem was they didn't know whether they were getting another season after 4, so they wrote it in such a way that 4 could be an ending to the story even if they didn't get another season.\n\nThat's what makes season 4s ending so strong but it also makes season 5 feel like it was just bolted on, because in a way it was.\n\nThey wrapped up so many storylines in season 4 they kind of ended the show prematurely and then had to develop a whole bunch of new ones just to end the show.",
"I'd argue that Walt simply didn't overcome his moral dilemma which led him to becoming the villain. It doesn't make him the antagonist though, it makes him the antihero.\nSome antagonists in Breaking Bad would be Hank, Gus, Tuco, Todd and the Nazis and I'd even say Jane, as she was getting in the way of Walters plan, when she was meddling with Jesse. \n\nAn antagonist isn't someone who is \"bad\". In love stories where the two end up getting together but can't get a long at the beginning, they're being the counterparts antagonist. ",
"There's nothing in this universe that I hate more than that movie.",
"Yeah, but give me 9 seasons of VEEP. Lol",
"It was actually written to be an ending because they weren't sure the show was going to get picked up for another season, which was kind of a bad idea looking back because they wrapped up so many storylines for season 4 there wasn't really enough left to justify another 16 episodes",
"I think Clerks TAS did the best bottle episode ever. It was the second episode of the whole (cartoon) series, where they played the same scene from the first episode probably three times to make different jokes.",

"Idk, I never really liked Walter after the first season, probably why I never finished the show. He was a complete piece of shit of a person tbh. I just got tired of watching something really depressing when I didn't care about almost anyone on the show.",
"The Wire is quite excellent...but I'd still give the \"Extremely Re-Watch-able Award\" to Breaking Bad.",
"right except it does though",
"And I just started Season 5 today. It's been great so far (except the fly episode, what the hell was that?) and I can't wait to see how it turns out. This is really compelling TV.",
">What about a spin-off where he [...] is just overall an incredibly wholesome human!\n\nOh boy. https://i.imgur.com/tRQ6QT9.jpg",
"Nah the final season was dragged kicking and screaming into reality. The network begged the writers to make it despite them feeling the show had run its course. So you can see the final series isn't written as well because it was done without passion.",
"Yeah. Season 5 was definitely controversial amongst the fans. Some loved it and some hated it, I personally loved it though. I think they really had to go out into left field with it, and while the story didn't make as much sense (selling meth overseas to the Russians/Slavs? Yeah fucking right) it had more than enough action and good sequencing to make up for it. Vince Gilligan sure knows ambience and how to create some powerful scenes. That whole show is just so insanely good to me I can't stop watching it. I'm on my 4th run through since discovering it in late 2015",
"I mean yeah thats the obvious part, but what you shouldn't do is say that it was a bottle episode so nothing was important. Still a lovely and very telling episode",
"I didn't start watching this til after I marathon'd Malcom in the Middle. The 4th season of BB hadn't come out yet and I figured \"Well, I like Bryan Cranston...\" Fucking best tv-related decision of my life. Right next to scoring a 55\" for $400. Pretty good deal at the time.",
"He is amazing under pressure, but the fly didnt really have anything to do with that in my eyes",
"Protagonist - the leading character or one of the major characters in a play, film, novel, etc.\n\nAntagonist - a person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something; an adversary\n\nNothing in those definitions is mutually exclusive. Some people are their own worst enemy. Walter Whites dual nature (Walter - mild mannered family man, Heisenberg - ruthless empire building crime lord) makes him the primary antagonist to himself.\n\nThere are several times in the show when Walt can get everything he says he wants, but refuses because he has an insatiable ego and constantly wants more, even if it puts him and his family at risk. His inability to be honest about his motivations causes him to act counter to his own interests many times.\n\nIn the end his transformation from Walter to Heisenberg takes everything that Walter cared about: his family, the respect of his son, his life.\n\n\n",
"Don’t quote me on this but this needs more jpeg",
"But I don't know why, she swallowed the fly\n\nPerhaps she'll die",

"yea right except that it does live up to the hype though",
"Oh word, that makes sense!",
"its better still stupid. \n \n\"oh my god he said fuck more than once. my ears got violated. once was totally fine though\"",
"The show did a great job of making it seem like Walt was forced into his actions, but over time we see he had ample opportunity to walk away multiple times and willingly chose to keep getting deeper into crime as a way to please his ego, even if his justifications were about rationalizing how it was all for his family.\n\nThere were some moments though that it totally was about protecting his family and himself and Jesse, though, like taking out Gus, and moments Skylar destroyed him, like fucking Ted, and moments where he tried to do good like letting the other drug dealer go or saving his brother in law, but they don't cover up the fact that he ordered murders and destroyed lives.\n\nMakes him a great and complex character and i love his descent.\n\nJesse, too. Smart kid, misunderstood, trying to get by, but displays the most fortitude and character of almost anyone in the series. His drive away from his meth prison in the last scene felt like in V for Vendetta when Evy stands out in the rain. It was beautiful.",

"I don't think seperating a character in two is a good idea. It's simply a good written character change.\n\nA protagonist is the character who drives the story. That's Walter in this case. His alter ego is just his immoral inner-self that builds with the story so in the end Walter becomes Heisenberg. It's a part of Walters characterstics that make him interesting. \n\n>Antagonist - a person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something; an adversary\n\nHe, as Heisenberg, never actively opposes what he wants, his needs change with his ego and in the end Walter even admits to Skyler that he did everything because he enjoyed it and not because of the family. His actions lead to consequences which cost him everything in the end but it's not like Heisenberg is a second person that wanted walt to fail.\n\nThe antagonist is the opponent who attacks the protagonists greatest weakness. As I said in an other comment BrBa has lots of antagonists: Gus, hank, Tuco, Todd and the Nazis, and after each \"Boss battle\" as you could say, Walter/Heisenberg changed/grew, so his ego/desire also changed with the course of the story. \nThere was never a stand-off scene between Walter and Heisenberg because they weren't opponents.\n\n\nWould you say Michael Corleone is his own antagonist because he started as not wanting to be involved in his fathers business but ending up as the head of the Mafia?\n\nThe only case that comes to my mind we're i'd agree with you, would be if we were discussing Fight Club.

It sounds good, but it's not. The L-isomer of methamphetamine doesn't produce euphoria. \n\nPropylhexedrine is another one that's contained in some inhalers in some jurisdictions and that stimulant does have recreational potential. It's not what I'd call a \"safe\" stimulant though. You need more than you'd need cocaine or methamphetamine to get any euphoria, which means higher blood pressure and heart rate. The black market would have the safer product in that instance. ",
"That's interesting. We learned in our pharm class that Fomepizole was the go-to drug to treat anti-freeze ingestion, but I guess it makes sense since alcohol could be cheaper and more readily available.",
"You are correct. The enzyme that breaks down ethanol, drinking alcohol, is called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Its primary role is to convert ethanol in ethyl aldehyde which is less toxic and easily peed out after being filtered by the kidneys. ADH is relatively unique in that it is not too selective about which types compounds it oxidizes. As such it can also covert compounds like methanol, the bad kind of alcohol found frequently in poorly distilled grain alcohol, which it turns into formaldehyde which will blind and kill you.\n\nThe primary ingredient in antifreeze is ethyl glycol which has 2 molecular OH groups which is what makes alcohols alcohol. ADH will readily take these molecules up and convert them into glycolic acid and then into oxyalic acid both of which attack the central nervous system.\n\nThe reason why chugging ethanol can help you with both methanol and antifreeze poisoning is that if you crowd out the more toxic chemicals with ethanol, all your ADH enzymes will be too busy with ethanol conversion to convert methanol and ethylene glycol into their more dangerous derivatives. This gives your body enough time to filter them out so you can safely pee them out.",
"No, they haven't. Some off brands have switched to PG, but the majority are still EG because it's cheaper and meets the specifications set by OEMs. Some are switching it organics, but they're not too common. ",

"Not in any civilised place is correct.",
"Try it. For science",
"The antifreeze and alcohol do enter the blood. The antifreeze isn't actually toxic until your liver tries to process it. The glycoaldehyde that the liver makes from the antifreeze is toxic. \n\nThe enzyme that does this is the same as the one that processes alcohol. By swamping the enzyme that converts antifreeze to glycoaldehyde with wiskey, the antifreeze is eventually peed out without being metabolized into it's nasty counterpart.",
"False, what happens is that the antifreeze byproduct from the liver is formic acid that is toxic. The liver has a higher affinity for alcohol and the antifreeze doesnt break down fast enough to cause harm",

The name Burma is, considered externally to be controversial because of it's colonial roots, but inside the country, no one cares.\n\nI've lived in Burma for six months, and three months was with an internship in Burma at the U.S. embassy. No burmese person in or out of the embassy cared if I called it Burma or Myanmar. Burmese people are really chill.\n\nEdit: typo.",

"Well fed and happy.\n\nHere's an interesting anecdote:\n\nBoth the Japanese and German ambassadors helped protect the people their ally was trying to decimate, having been witness to the atrocities and not believers in destroying the people their ally wished to exterminate. \n\n[Chiune Sugihara](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiune_Sugihara), the Japanese government official who served as vice consul for the Japanese Empire in Lithuania, helped save over 6,000 Jews during the war by issuing transit visas to them so that they could travel through Japanese territory.\n\n[Ho Feng Shan](http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/19/asia/china-jews-schindler-ho-feng-shan/index.html) helped in much of the same way.\n\nFrom Germany, [John Rabe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rabe), helped set up the Nanking Safety Zone, which sheltered approximately 200,000 Chinese people from slaughter during the [Nanking Massacre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre).\n\n[Georg Rosen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Rosen_(1895%E2%80%931961) also helped setup the [Nanking Safety Zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Safety_Zone).",
"Also, the U.S. split the Germans into Nazi and Non-Nazi camps so that there wouldn't be any conflict. They did the same thing for Army and Navy for the Japanese prisoners near the end of the war because they were killing each other over blame for the loss of the war.",

"They are Japanese sailors and soldiers. If you mean internment, Japan and Germany did that too, but they killed and raped them at an alarmingly higher rate. It was systemic in Japan for Western civilians interned. \n \nYou might want to do some research instead of just regurgitating internet propaganda. All sides interred civilians, we just treated them better. \n \nhttp://www.west-point.org/family/japanese-pow/Internment.pdf",

"victims of gas chambers because skinny bodies means gas chambers",
"I remember reading *Unbroken*, and knew the food situation was bad when the POWs stopped stealing food from Japanese civilians.",
"Gas chambers were in Europe, not Japan, and were for Jews/political prisoners, not POWs",
"Partially because they considered soldiers who surrendered to be dishonorable and less than human. If you didn't fight to the death then you were a coward. The Japanese were fucking brutal warriors. \n\nIf you haven't read it, I highly recommend this book called Ghost Soldiers, written by Hampton Sides.\n\nIt starts with the Bataan death march, which was a 100 kilometer forced movement of about 80,000 POWs with up to 20,000 casualties from the march. They were denied food, water and rest. Those who fell behind were killed, usually brutally with swords and bayonets. They were sent to Cabanatuan to various prison camps. \n\nThe book then focuses on a raid by Lieutenant Colonel Mucci of 6th Ranger Regiment and Captain Prince leading 120 Rangers from Charlie and Fox Company with 80 Filipinos soldiers. They humped 30 miles behind enemy lines to rescue 500 POWs from a camp that was guarded by up to 3,000 enemy soldiers. They killed up to 1,000 enemy during the attack and only suffered two KIA. \n\n",

"Do the evil acts of Japan and Germany justify Japanese internment?\n\nEDIT: Germany, not Korea.",
"The Germans and Italians were also interned. But they don’t keep going on about it. ",
"Does an attack on a U.S. naval base justify a war?\n\nPhilosophy allows many comparisons between unequal acts and questions of justice. But in the end, we're all human and compared to the list of evils humanity was committing to itself at that time U.S. internment falls pretty far down that list. All major allied nations interred their own citizens of axis ancestry. Britain even interred Jews that escaped German persecution. But, I am sure that's news to most that read it.\n\nIt seems in internet discussions of the U.S.'s faults it's like if there are four people drowning and desperate for life, flailing and dragging each other down in panic, if there is an American among them then it's all his fault for not walking on water, forming a boat out of thin air and rescuing the other three.\n",
"Yes. An attack on a US naval base *is* an act of war. Retaliation on the enemy is in defense if that is the case.\n\nJapanese-Americans played no part in attacking Pearl Harbor. They did not deserve to be placed in internment camps. The same goes for British Jews that escaped German persecution and interred citizens of any country. We can criticize multiple different powers, even if one of them is obviously worse than the others.\n\nThe last part of your completely is completely unrelated, so I see no reason to address it.",
"That is indeed an accurate view in hindsight. You have the calmness to assess the situation granted to you by not being at bodily risk. To have the arrogance to claim moral high ground without that sense of peril is disingenuous. You are at this point discussing the philosophy of what *should* happen, not what humans do in those situations. You're living in a world of mortals and you seem to be assessing your peers with a deific regard. \n \nAnd my last paragraph is absolutely on point. You're judging the four drowning, flailing, desperate people willing to kill each other just to live a little longer, not out of malice but simply pure human panic and self-preservation, from the deck of a passing ship while you sip something cool and refreshing.",
"Ho Feng Shan was Chineses, not Japanese.",
"That's a completely insane argument. You could apply that to the Holocaust just as well.\n\nAlso you literally just changed the meaning of your last paragraph while presenting it as the same argument. At first it was a criticism of online US-haters, with the drowning people being people the US should *save* and now it's a criticism of people who hate nations that do acts of evil in war \"out of panic.\"",
">You could apply that to the Holocaust just as well. \n \nIt's disturbing that you consider the Holocaust a natural human reaction in times of peril.",
"That makes even less sense.",
"I don't. I also don't consider Japanese internment camps as a natural human reaction in times of peril. The fact that you try to say it is makes me think exactly the same of you.",
"Why do you believe gas chambers weren't used to exterminate people during WWII?",
"I was looking for this comment. \nDon't believe you should be downvoted. The US straight shitted on Japanese Americans that helped build the West Coast. ",
"Right. You consider only rational, unemotional, and calculated acts in times of peril and panic to be human nature.",
"So where is your line for human nature? When is it okay to punish people who did not commit any crimes?",
"While the second is an obviously loaded question, the first part is actually a good question. Do you think it is an inflexible line? Do you judge the panicked drowning man who causes another to die in his attempt to live the same kind of murderer as a one who commits a premeditated murder for valuable goods? Is one more evil than the other? Can the first actually even be *excused?* Human life and law says yes, he can be excused.\n",

"... Lets all just back up slowly",
"Well there have been situations where the peace has settled in mid prison time for some POWs",
"Japanese American here. My grandparents and other relatives were interned during the war in Colorado and Arkansas. It was a terrible thing. I understand the thinking at the time, but it doesn't make it right. \n\nJapanese-Americans were apologized to and did receive some reparations. I don't know if it ever made up for the sense of shame they felt for their experience. Unfortunately my grandfather passed a couple of years ago at the age of 95, so I can't ask, but even if he were still around, this part of their lives is something many from that generation won't really talk about.\n\nI am absolutely not apologizing for the decision to intern American citizens. Rash and sometimes hurtful decisions are made during war and the best we can hope for is to learn from the past. \n\nIf I learned anything from my grandfather it's the following (which I think is common for the Japanese Americans of that generation):\n** Life isn't fair\n** Don't complain\n** Work hard\n** Do things the right way\n\n",
"The list of reasons is quite large but one would be is that when you kill someone with cyanide their bodies turn a very noticeable bright red/pink. There have never been any photos of such bodies nor have the supposedly literal dozen of first hand witnesses describe such bodies in their stories.\n\nYet, photos of just skinny bodies is meant to be enough proof of gas chambers.",
"It's insane what the human body can withstand and survive",
"you try and live in Wisconsin without losing weight... these guys were probably fed a steady diet of cheese curds and brats for years",
"Was this picture taken after the liberation of Changi in Singapore, or was this a different camp?",
"Thanks for calcium mr.skeletals.",
"Newspaper headline reads \"The Atomic Plague\". When you read what was done to end the war and set you free, would there be a little part of you saying \"It wasn't worth it\"?",
"I am not aware of any other animal on this planet that intentionally imprisons and inflicts suffering upon members of its own kind as we do. \n\nYour comment maligns true animals.",
"And yet the Japanese complain about US helicopters flying over their schools! The US should just pull out and leave them to China who are still pretty upset over Manchuria. ",
"How is my question any more of a loaded question than any of the questions you have asked?\n\nNone of the countries that interred innocent people were actually helping themselves stay alive. According to the Nazis, they were simply trying to protect themselves from the Jews. In hindsight, we realize that this is completely absurd and nearly ubiquitously believe this is evil. We do not excuse these actions. I see no problem in judging Japanese-American internment in the same manner, even if it was far less evil than the Holocaust, because it was still punishing innocent people.",
"I can't drink coffee on an empty stomach. ",
"Since you dodged the question, I will answer it for you from your perspective. According to you, The drowning man is *exactly* as evil as the premeditated murderer. You have no sense of scale or degree. You think any evil is pure evil. That is arrogant. To assume that a little evil when people are in fear is exactly the same as a greater evil causing that fear is naive. You simply lack the character and world experience to relate to their situation. You've never been tested, you sit there like a toddler judging adults from a perspective of ignorance. You've never been pushed to making a hard decision, so you lack any connection with real humans. You lack that depth. You're a mindless philosophy without the tempering of practical experience.\n \nAnd here's where the original analogy that you never comprehended, and out of your own personal limitation you dismissed, comes into consideration: The American in that group of drowning people that did not walk on water to save the others is being held to a higher standard than the rest. just as you are holding humanity to a higher standard than human. \n \nI hope your world fantasy comes to pass. I am sure holding humanity to a standard that transcends the human condition will work out fine for you in your naive mind. But before that ever happens, you'll grow up, face a tough decision, and as reality descends on your extreme mores (which I have no doubt from which you exclude your own actions) you'll suddenly whisper, \"Oh.\" and finally comprehend the point.",
"Upper midwest heaven... :)",
"he's a holocaust denier.",
"Oh. You'd think he could present a coherent argument. ",
"Yes, I didn't say he was Japanese. I was just pointing out that he helped in the same way.\n\nI can understand the confusion, though."

"The March for Life is a single Nationwide rally in DC. The Women's March is a national rally held in major cities all over the nation. The fact that one city pulls a crowd comparable to the DC March for Life is pretty amazing. Also, the women's March is primarily attended by adult women. I say this because the March for Life is attended largely by young adults bussed in by Evangelical groups. I would argue that the positions and beliefs of adults should hold more weight and merit than the parroting by kids shipped in to inflate attendance.

"Thanks for that article, very interesting reading.

(I'll try to look up some of those articles when i get home, if i find anything interesting I'll reply again) And I think you're right, that the attention given to false accusations is not proportional to the number of actual false accusations. \n\nAlthough reddit certainly can be a liberal echo chamber as some say, it certainly isn't _always_, and sometimes it is the opposite. I think some 'facts' just stick in the minds of redditors, and they run with it whenever they see certain topics arrive, whether it be this topic, or Buschemi being a firefighter in 9/11.\n\nI think the Brock Turner case is more a showing of wealth-based privilege, rather than sex based. He is a very wealthy, popular sportsman, and a man in his position without his money and fame would have probably got an appropriate sentence.\n\nI believe you're right when you say people don't look up statistics and facts enough, and when you say that Women's and Men's rights are not at odds with one another. There's a significant proportion on both sides that seem to think that we are in a Man vs Woman war at the moment, which is simply not the case. And although it is very important to not forget these issues, it seems from my experience that people are so much more needlessly tribal about everything, and that does not lead us down a good path.\n\n and btw I'm mostly speaking about the American system, but I'm just a Brit who spends too much time on the internet, so I'm not sure whether my perspective perfectly fits the American situation, or whether it's a more 'generic western' perspective.\n\nThanks for taking the time to reply. :)",

You're still not solving the underlying problem and the true cost of laziness, which is far greater than just \"unwanted children\". As I've found it all over my workplace, if you want to change behavior, make them accountable for it. As soon as I step in and fix the problem for them, I'm now accountable to fix the problem forever. ",
"Lol you're equating unwanted children to workplace mishaps? What are you going to do to \"make them accountable\" for not using birth control? Throw them in jail? Refuse to offer WIC and SNAP and section 8 for them and their children? Great idea.",
"Ok so just to clarify you don't support a public school system?",
"What does buying birth control at Walgreens have to do with any of these arguments? If you don't support paying for women's birth control but you do support paying for public education, then \"I don't wanna buy stuff for people\" is not a good argument.",
"Projection.com ",
"Yea crazy how when you have a job you're not on call to answer reddit comments from morons all day. My bad! \n\nI agree, it's crazy how popular being a professional victim has become. In the end they all got a nice picture for their instagram accounts. And of course, if a bunch of people march for something, they couldn't possibly be wrong! Consensus by majority! \n\nIt's very hard for some people to look at millions of people, who don't share a single thing except their ***[insert political beliefs]***, take some time off and protest perceived inequalities, and accept reality. It takes some incredible and very special mental gymnastics to get to the conclusion that, nah, all these people are wrong and have nothing to complain [about]. I am very glad we agree. \n\nDo you see how fucking stupid your logic is yet? No you probably don't because you're a moron. Toodles ya dipshit, maybe if you cry hard enough you'll get what you want in life. The rest of us will just work for it. ",
"Again, as I said, just because someone can have privilege in some areas (being in a wealthier community, not having to wear hijabs, having the freedom to vote, etc) doesn't mean they have solved all problems of inequality where they live. Yes, America has solved many of the problems other countries still have, but it hasn't solved every problem. It isn't free of sexism. It isn't free of inequality. There are still things to fight for in this country while also fighting for the things other countries still desperately need. You're trying to create some ultimatum that suggests that because one place is better off than others, there are no problems left, and those people **surely** can't understand the issues that exist elsewhere in the world. It's a wrong and idiotic assumption. ",
">Lol you're equating unwanted children to workplace mishaps? \n\nLol, not really... \n\n>What are you going to do to \"make them accountable\" for not using birth control? Throw them in jail? Refuse to offer WIC and SNAP and section 8 for them and their children? Great idea.\n\nLol, you seem like someone who was coddled all through childhood. It's called natural consequences. If I go outside in the snow and don't wear a jacket, guess what, I get cold. The accountability is already baked in. \n\nChoosing to have a child and having to care for him/her as a result of unprotected sex is a natural consequence.\n",
"The intent is that people (the marchers and others) discuss these issues later on, and also that local politicians understand that there are important issues that need to be addressed. I think peaceful protest works well in the case where politicians are willing to listen but need to be aware.",
"But does that ever happen? Do politicians ever talk about these issues? Does anyone ever really talk about these issues with them? I think what most of these signs should say is \"we hate this politician, go vote him out\" ",
"I think it works for local Seattle at least, but I can't speak for other places. Our mayor spoke at the march, so the local political climate is fairly positive and responsive. For that reason the march was more to 1) show the discontent regarding the current administration and 2) continue to highlight the importance of addressing women's issues, since even pro-women's-rights politicians may not realize the significance if few people speak up for them.\n\nI would say it was about a 50-50 split between women's issues and anger at the federal government (particularly Trump, but also Pence and the administration at large).\n\n",
"Well when you stop trying to be Red Forman and realize that letting things just fall to \"natural consequence\" to the tune of more expensive healthcare, higher crime rates, and higher taxes to support an ever growing pool of welfare recipients is no bueno, maybe you'll realize paying a few bucks so that kids and idiots have easy access to birth control is a much better idea. Until then, if you want to jack off to pictures of Chuck Norris be my guest.",
"Alright, so you're 15 years old. I guess that makes sense.",
"Lol could you come up with a more tired line than that? You've determined I was coddled my whole life and now that I'm 15 over the course of just a few comments? You're a terrible fucking mind reader, that much is for sure. I get it, you work hard and despise those that sit on their ass and collect a check. So do I. But you're cutting off your nose to spite your face here. If you take away things like easy access to birth control, you can add a few more hours a week to your workload to support the ever increasing tax burdens that leads to. Sometimes you've got to say the cost of something outweighs principle. ",
"Fair enough glad the mayor was involved ",
"What an inane argument.\n\nLet me use the same logic on you: I assume you are for public education. Are you also for public funding to give every man, woman, and child an AR-15? If not, then \"I wanna buy stuff for people\" isn't a good argument.\n\n\nBack to reality - I haven't said one way or the other if I support buying birth control for people. All I've said is that what is characterized as a \"right\" is in fact a plea for money.",
"> Lol could you come up with a more tired line than that?\n\nNo, because I'm not in high school, lol.",
"You literally just recited the converse of my argument as if it was my argument. \"I wanna buy stuff for people\" is not my argument. My argument would be that providing free education and birth control is a substantial benefit to the public good and the cost tradeoff is worth it. I would not make the argument that providing every person in the country with an AR-15 would benefit society enough (if at all) to justify the cost.",
"Well, ain’t that special. And here I was, feeling bad for antagonizing you. Oh well. \n\nFor the record, I wasn’t calling you out for not replying sooner. I understand that you are a big boy, with a big job, and that thinking and writing is hard. It probably took you all day to craft this, let’s say masterpiece. But you did it! God job little buddy. Next time maybe use a dictionary though, cause I don’t think you know what some of the words you use actually mean. Or maybe it’s just more of that special mental gymnastics we talked about.\n\n\nNow, to get back to the march: what is so political about women protesting? Inequalities, sexual harassment and assault (not just against women, but I’ll focus on that here since this is already quite long and I don’t want your brain to melt) are well documented and have been denounced by politicians and personalities from both sides of the aisle alike. And yet, you maintain that they have no business complaining. But still, millions of women nation-wide, who probably have a better grasp on this issue than you, seem to disagree. Why can’t they see what you, such an honorable man, see? Is victimization so appealing?\n\n\nLet me put this way: were they to be a men’s march, do you think the turn-out be as important? Probably not, right? But why? Is it because men have not fallen to this victimization trend? Well, as you have proven in this thread, men can be little bitches with ease, so no, it must be something else. Could it be because they don’t face the same challenge and difficulties as women? Hum, i think we are getting warmer.\n\n\nBut maybe I am wrong. Maybe millions of men and women, sociologists, political scientists, statisticians, etc. have no clue what they are talking about. So for all our sakes, please, enlighten us, and explain to me why you believe that this march was pointless. And again, sorry for the lengthy reply, I’ll try to keep it shorter and add some pictures next time. Would you like that little buddy? Maybe some nice fire trucks, or ice cream (try not to lick your screen)?\n\nI look forward to your reply, which I am sure will be just as eloquent as the last one.\nKindly,\nYour stupid moron.",
"Ok.\n\n",
">racist racist racist\n\n*You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means* ",
"No, I do. Lot of 'em around. All of 'em support Trump, and all of 'em use the same stupid fucking arguments.\n\nLike you. \n\nHow's your hair, buddy?\n",
"Lol, it seems you're cognitively incapable of understanding the irony of what you're saying. How about seeing a therapist instead of projecting to randoms on reddit? \n\n>How's your hair, buddy?\n\nVery good, thank you :) I'm sorry r/incels was banned, I hope you find a new home. \n",
"Lol, it sounds like you think you're smart. And it sounds like you think you know what irony means. Or are you one of those \"people who point out racism are the *real* racists\" fucktards?\n\nSo, you're lying about all your hair falling out because you were too sad to eat?",
">Waaaahhh I don't like big words. \n\nI'm sorry you feel that way. But don't worry, supermarkets always have jobs going. \n\n>So, you're lying about all your hair falling out because you were too sad to eat?\n\nI love watching you whine about things you don't understand, lol. ",
"You could be the stupidest person on this site, and that's saying something.\n\nNow go fuck off and defend racists and cry about your skin some more. ",
">You could be the stupidest person on this site, and that's saying something.\n\nI doubt that very much, given your post history \n\n>Now go fuck off and defend racists and cry about your skin some more.\n\nHaha, that the best you got? Tbh... the only one crying here is you XD",
"Flaky, peeling, cracking skin. Breath stanky and teeth rotting. Hair falling out.\n\nYour outsides look like your insides.\n\n(Now you say, \"LOL XD REEEEEEE Triggered Cuck\" or whatever it is you retards parrot constantly.)",
"Not anymore :) Although my recovery seems to have struck a chord with you. I'm willing to bet you're a fatty. \n\n",
"Too bad men cannot have a march like that. Because if we had one, society would collapse.",
"LOL. You folks are so incredibly cringey.",
"The economy doesn't work by legislation, dumbass, it's a function of investor confidence, which is extremely high right now. Thank GOD Hillary lost, and you folks are relegated to whining from the sidelines.",
"Name calling huh? Such a sophisticated response. Anyway,any evidence that Trump's actions have made an impact, obviously other than your opinion, would suffice.",
"What kind of 'folks' do you think I might be?",
"true equality is impossible as people have different levels of ability and temperament, some want to work all the time and are motivated some are lazy bastards who whine all the time, some are women who want to have babies and run a company and some prefer to be nursery assistants not ceos, different strokes for different folk, your generalisations and putting your obviously fake and unearned victim status on par with women from 3rd world countries is vulgar and deplorable ",
"Nobody is trying to equate the struggles women face in the US to those women face in other countries. But there still are struggles regardless. Just because they aren't the same doesn't mean we should dismiss them entirely. \n\nWhen we say equality, we're talking about equality in opportunities and treatment. Women aren't always going to go for the same jobs as men, but they should be given an equal opportunity to get that job and be offered an equal amount of pay when they get that job, for example. They aren't. That still needs to be fixed. And the stories of assault coming from Hollywood and beyond still shows a big problem of sexism in America. Women are still viewed as second class citizens, or even like things to do with as they please by many men. That needs to be fixed. Women aren't given the same treatment as men when it comes to lawmaking as well. These are very real inequalities that need to be fixed. ",
"women in the west are the most privileged people on the planet, and are the best at portraying themselves as victims of perceived inequality; the equality laws were put in place decades ago and still it is not enough because every time it’s someone else’s fault, probably some man’s or something wrong with the system; Hollywood has had a “casting couch” for a century and nothing has been done about it either by Meryl or Oprah or countless other rich and powerful women letting their peers go through the crucible of sexual exploitation by sleazy, corrupt men in order to secure a career; now they’re calling it assaults and rape to avoid slut shaming for letting it happen just to land a role",
"> women in the west are the most privileged people on the planet\n\nNo, that would be **white men** in the west.\n\n> Hollywood has had a “casting couch” for a century and nothing has been done about it either by Meryl or Oprah or countless other rich and powerful women\n\nSo that makes it okay? No. It isn't until recently when a few brave people came forward that the rest started feeling safer to do so. \n\n>now they’re calling it assaults and rape to avoid slut shaming for letting it happen just to land a role\n\nIt *is* assault. Those people are abusing their power over these people. The fact that anybody would try to minimize the evil of what they did is just showing me how despicable of a person you must be.",
"power this power that, white men, “brave women” - platitudes and language moderation of a leftist snowflake",
">snowflake\n\nMeaningless insults of a person who has no argument\n\nAnd if you think \"leftist\" is somehow an insult, LOL",
"there is no argument in the first place, and these were not insults just stating the obvious; you sound like Cathy Newman spouting meaningless cliched slogans of a mob fighting the reality and reason proving again and again you don’t think for yourself ",
"I have no idea who that is. I'm simply stating the obvious here myself. Women are absolutely not treated equal to men, even in america, and you just shrug away any clear and obvious examples of that. \n\nIt's ridiculous how some people despise anybody who cares for others, and tries to insult them as \"snowflake\". If you have a political affiliation that tries to insult people for caring about others, your politics are not good, and you are not a good person. You are making fun of those who are fighting for equality. You are taking victims of abuse and trying to blame them for the crap they've had to live through because society has turned their heads. How hateful do you have to be to seriously think the things you're saying are okay? ",
"How are your increases now?",
"It's still 25%. All the correction did was eliminate January 2018."
