TROPHY CASE


  • Two-Year Club

A Life Worth Ending | The era of medical miracles has created a new phase of aging, as far from living as it is from dying. A son’s plea to let his mother go. by dave723in Foodforthought

[–]permanentthrowaway 12 points13 points ago

Even though I'm in my early 20s, I've been terrified of this for as long as I can remember. Of dwindling, of suffering for a long time instead of dying a quick, timely death. Of watching myself lose all control over my body, to watch myself decay and be brought down little by little by the forces of nature. To have to admit defeat, to live without dignity, having to rely on others to perform even my most basic functions.

I've always thought this was absolutely disgusting. Not two years ago my grandmother finally died after years of agonizing and slow death... and I was relieved when she finally did. Even though no one has talked about it, I know we were all relieved. And yet it was expected of us to do everything in our power to sustain her suffering beyond reasonable means, to keep her alive against all reason because we loved her and didn't want her to die. If we had really loved her, we would have let her die long before she did. She was a strong, proud woman, and she did not deserve to go like that.

Old people have as much a right to die as they have to live. We should start talking about the subject openly and honestly. Because, like the article says, this is going to be a huge problem someday.

Fit/thin people, can you post a picture of yourself, pushing your gut out and making it look as gross as possible? by ketominein Fitness

[–]permanentthrowaway 2 points3 points ago

Well it's very different from mine, that's for sure. It does look like a button, so I feel the strange urge to press it.

... aaand that's enough of me being creepy for today.

For some reason I seriously can't stop staring at your belly button. /creepy

I can't help but still feel like that fat girl no one wants to talk to. by pinkenteiin loseit

When I was your age (not that long ago) I felt the same. I also felt like I was never going to grow out of that feeling.

Lies.

I grew out of it. I don't know when, or how. As time went on, I slowly got used to my body and myself. One day I woke up and realized I was not self-conscious anymore.

Don't worry. It gets better. 16 sucks in many ways (and rocks in others), but one thing to keep in mind is that you are at a stage where you are changing a lot. Two years from now, you wouldn't even recognize yourself. And two years go by faster than you can imagine (trust me on that).

So don't worry about it :) What you've done is amazing, something I would never have been able to do at your age. You've done what many people only dream of doing, which means you're not only very pretty (based on the pic you gave us), but also have a strong will and the dedication to improve yourself.

You'll be just fine.

Parents, do you ever look at your child and just think about how unattractive they are, especially when they are teenagers? by Codadin AskReddit

[–]permanentthrowaway 0 points1 point ago

When my cousin was born, her father exclaimed: "She's so ugly I'm going to have to buy her a husband!"

She turned out to be quite pretty actually.

So I just fell for the whole toothpaste on your nipple gets you high. What stupid things have you tried just because? by wrestlingspikesin AskReddit

And now I feel the terrible urge to find out whether I can do it or not

¿Es Elba Esther Gordillo un motivo de peso para no votar por Quadri? by noeaguilain mexico

Yo esperaba al AMLO que se vio en el Foro organizado por el Tec... no "el peligro para México" que detuvo al DF hace seis años. Qué asco.

In the parking lot I just let a man cross, this took maybe 5 seconds. The car that was turned in front of mine seconds later was totaled by a car running a red light. What is your best "Holy shit, that should have been me" moment? by kidkevinin AskReddit

[–]permanentthrowaway 2 points3 points ago

Was returning home from a party. My friends asked me to stay 10 more minutes for something, but I refused because I was tired and the party wasn't that fun. As I was getting home, I started recieving messages asking if I was all right. Turns out there'd been a massive shooting on the road I'd taken less than five minutes after I'd passed. They were rifles, grenades... Two students from my college died. If I'd left the party five minutes later, that would have been me.

It has been posted before, and the full gallery is much more disturbing, if I recall correctly.

Game of Thrones Fans anyone else see a potential LINK with this lad by boyd889in zelda

You propose LANCEL LANNISTER for Link and then complain other people are trying to make it gay? Seriously?!

I could picture him as Zelda.

So you can leave Kokiri Forest? by primetime83in zelda

[–]permanentthrowaway 1 point2 points ago

Ah, of course! I used to watch that show as a kid, and seeing the image filled me with nostalgia, but I couldn't quite place where I'd seen it before. Thank you! Terrible or not, I'm going to watch that show now :)

What was the name of this show? Or was it a movie? I need to know!

There is! I don't know why I thought there'd be more females, but I'm not complaining about my odds :P

Huh, a subreddit filled with males within my age range that share my love for Zelda-related stuff.

How you doin'?

A woman just called me a pedophile after I politely held the door open for her two year old daughter. What horrendous, unjustifiable accusations have you faced, Reddit. by Speteorin AskReddit

[–]permanentthrowaway 0 points1 point ago

Speaking as a teacher, when a student's paper reads too good to be true, it's usually plagiarism.

Then again, I always at the very least google the suspicious phrases before making accusations. Though my suspicions have never turned out to be wrong.

Just saying.

Question: how many of you actually got strong by dicking around? by Noedelin Fitness

[–]permanentthrowaway 0 points1 point ago

I agree with you. I have also felt the pressure to stick to a strict routine, even when I've become bored or disenchanted with it. It's nice to see other people out there modifying their routines (within reason). Somehow, this makes me feel like I've permission to do the same.

In the end, it's all about enjoying the workout, isn't it?

TIL Jason Isaacs who played Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films was caught trying to steal his wand from the set by mrtommyin todayilearned

Disclaimer: Wow, I never thought I'd end up defending Slythering

Not really. JK Rowling has said that during the final battle (the part where the centaurs and the foreign wizards and the elves join in), there were a lot of Slytherins fighting against Voldemort.

Besides, wouldn't you be a prick if the whole school behaved like a prick to you? Everyone instinctively hates the Slytherins, even Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs celebrate every time something bad happens to the Slytherins, like having the house cup be stolen from you because your headmaster favors the Gryffindors. Yeah, some of the Slytherins are assholes, but if you think about it, everyone's an asshole to the Slytherins anyway. It must be hard to be on the house that even the teachers hate.

I really thought they would do that too! It would've been a serious mindfuck, and pants would've been shat.
