I'm all for something like this for terminally ill people. They should absolutely be allowed to choose this then suffer with whatever sickness they have if there is positively no chance of recovery.

On October 29th, 2013. These Two Maintenance Workers Embrace Each Other Before Dying After The Wind Turbine They Were Working On In Ooltgensplaat, Holland Caught Fire
Artsy Bookworm 3 years ago
Oh I just watched a video about this and it was heartbreaking. When the turbine caught fire older two of the four workers jumped through the fire and escaped but the younger workers being only 19 and 21 were afraid to do so. By the time they were convinced the others had made it out, it was too late for them. They came together in one final embrace and one of them then jumped off while the other died in the fire

Poor folks. My house was flooding a few years back. Didn't get more then wet carpet and an endless trail of water. I'm crying and exhausted at trying to get the water to stop coming in. Then I was watching the news and saw people with houses floods and I felt like a sh*t for crying over my home being wet.

Male chimpanzees can be as strong as 3-4 human males. They can literally tear you apart. I've seen a zookeeper on the verge of panic when it looked like one of his chimps was waking up early from sedation, and the vet didn't seem to be taking it seriously.

Apparently This Type Of Soap Is Popular Among Asian Women With Dark Skin
patricia patricia 3 years ago (edited)
Soaps, creams, everything to look whiter. It's so sad! Edit: the sad thing is not that they use these "cosmetics", but that society still thinks being white is better than being non-white, and these girls can get better jobs if they look whiter. After millennia of "evolution" we still judge people's worth by the colour of their skin.

Chinese Middle/High School Collectively Receiving Intravenous (Iv) Drips To Improve Performance While Studying For Their Upcoming Exam
Monday 3 years ago
Just high school, and just one specific school. Xiaogan No.1 High School in China's Hubei province. It's an amino acid drip that was supposedly just there to help kids who weren't feeling well while studying for their university entrance exams. Whether that's true or not is up for debate.

Have to admit, couldn't agree more!! This is one of the most fascinating posts in months. I rarely scroll to the last entry but read this one for end to end! Disturbing, depressing... but so much better than someone's life story about a vile relative or malicious compliance at work.
