“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky made this quote famous, and it has transcended the sporting realm.
It’s an inspiring message that encourages people to take action despite the risk of failure. After all, you never know whether or not success is around the corner unless you try.
However, not all the shots you take deserve recognition, especially if you’re trying to push a particular agenda or pull another person down. It’s the kind of attempts featured on this subreddit, where we lifted the photos you’re about to see as you scroll through.

She still had her keys so she unlocked the door, jumped in nd the ignition key didn't work. It was then she noticed a machine gun and police badge on the seat next to her. She said she dove out of the car and ran. She found out that it now belonged to the police chief and when she notified the state department they said to drop it and just collect the insurance money.
Same thing happened with my grandson's cell phone. Tweakers met my daughter to buy it and used their m**h-enhanced lack of common sense to be convinced to hand it to my daughter to check out the condition.

Load More Replies...Finding joy in someone else’s misfortunes is what experts refer to as schadenfreude. And according to neuroscientist Dr. Dean Burnett, it is a common emotion resulting from “deeply ingrained processes” in our brain.
In his article for BBC Science, Dr. Burnett explained that it all comes down to social status and how we want others to perceive us. One way to improve that status is to see someone else lower theirs.

To Cheat In Peace
I read the comments on Reddit on this and agree that this woman has no idea what is actually going on and could cause serious trouble. I hate flying and had to fly by myself for work and did not want to go. Plus both my dad and husband's dad were sick at the time. I got seated next to a decent looking guy close to my age, 30s, and we made small talk, he was heading to chicago business too and used to work with someone really nice that i did. he was drinking bears and me lots of wine and he helped me not be so nervous. IIRC he was single but it was not flirty. Just 2 people k*****g time and drinking. I told my husband all about him because he was so worried about me because I cried the entire way to the airport. My seatmates home not so great but i wasn't as nervous heading to the airport to go home. She should have minded her business.
I don't condone cheating but unless you have the full facts you should mind your business. Just because he's wearing a wedding ring, doesn't mean he's cheating on his wife. He could be widowed, recently separated, they could have an open marriage, his wife may have no interest in s*x and has given her permission for her husband to get it elsewhere. Even if none of that is true, we don't know the state of his marriage, what sort of person his wife is, or what she's capable of. You could potentially be putting someone's life at risk by doing this.
Wow. Did they kiss? Did he suggest the do something together AFTER the flight? I used to travel for my job for 3+ decades. I can get chatty depending on the person next to me (or the alignment of the stars) and I really enjoy talking (as long as the other person does as well) and it is never meant as anything other than that...
Is there actually anything that suggests he's about to cheat? Because talking to someone for the whole flight and having drinks together, is totally okay behavior if you're both on a flight alone and you click well. And hanging out with someone after a flight, is okay too. People are allowed to have/make friends. Some people are very friendly and immediately make a new friend on a flight, maybe this guy is like that too.

In Canada there's religion classes in Catholic schools, and World Religions, which teaches about other religions
World religion is allowed in public schools, but its an information class. A "bible" class only teaches Bible and claims learning other religions is allowing the devil to tempt you with forbidden knowledge. LIke how you realize all religions are mass insanity when you discover they all claim random things are true. And yes, it led me to give up the mass insanity when I advanced my learning and discovered science and reality.

This is the way our military wear the flag. The horizontal flip is perfectly fine.
A flag has two sides, and this is what the US flag looks like when viewing one of them.

To Play The Victim
If she had ben honest... my good friend dated a chick who discovered her recent ex was the father of her baby, but my friend loved her and the baby became HIS daughter, eight years later he would kiII for that little girl. Honesty goes a long way in true love.

This one is fake. There are versions without her handle blurred out, and searching for it shows that account has never existed in Twitter. People have documented where they searched for her. Someone made this up to get people angry at a fake woman.

To Clarify A Misunderstanding
This guy is obsessed with fathering as many children as possible. He has potentially fathered 600 children just in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is a small country, so there's a genuine concern that some of these children may grow up and end up unknowingly being in a relationship with a half sibling.
Just giving away your genetic material is not "fathering". Fathering is parenting - being there for the kids, living with them, raising them. This guy is just a narcissistic duchebag.

Load More Replies...A sp*rm donor who unknowingly harboured a genetic mutation that dramatically raises the risk of cancer has fathered at least 197 children across Europe, a major investigation has revealed. Some children have already died and only a minority who inherit the mutation will escape cancer in their lifetimes. He is healthy and passed the donor screening checks. However, the DNA in some of his cells mutated before he was born. It damaged the TP53 gene – which has the crucial role of preventing the body's cells turning cancerous. Most of the donor's body does not contain the dangerous form of TP53, but up to 20% of his spe*m do. However, any children made from affected sp*rm will have the mutation in every cell of their body. This is known as Li Fraumeni syndrome and comes with an up to 90% chance of developing cancer, particularly during childhood as well as breast cancer later in life.
Doctors who were seeing children with cancer linked to spe*m donation raised concerns at the European Society of Human Genetics this year. They reported they had found 23 with the variant out of 67 children known at the time. Ten had already been diagnosed with cancer. Through Freedom of Information requests and interviews with doctors and patients we can reveal substantially more children were born to the donor. The figure is at least 197 children, but that may not be the final number as data has not been obtained from all countries. It is also unknown how many of these children inherited the dangerous variant.Dr Edwige Kasper, a cancer geneticist at Rouen University Hospital, in France, who presented the initial data, told the investigation: "We have many children that have already developed a cancer. "We have some children that have developed already two different cancers and some of them have already died at a very early.

This was misleading, they were not yanked from the classroom or sent to jail for being against the war. a few teachers who expressed support for Hamas were removed and sent to Jail as it is illegal to show support for a terrorist org in the country.

How precisely did they "express support for hamas"? Such a vague description is potentially just as misleading.

I don't know what The Forward is smoking, but this didn't happen. There have literally been thousands of people protesting in Tel Aviv and other cities for months.
They've now started betraying their own religion and trying to draft Orthodox Jews into sevice (as in, Jews that are supposed to be pacifists and have been excempt from service since Israel's reformation in 1948)
There has never ever been a draft exemption for Orthodox Jews, there is a exemption for Theological students, which a huge part (but not all) of the Haredi sector use as a way out of Army service (but many have served, including 3 of their 7 MK's). It has nothing to do with pacifism, it has to do with issues regarding religious accommodations in the IDF why so many take advantage of this. BTW Religious Zionists who near universally serve are also Orthodox Jews. Its a complex issue that actually dates back to 1952 when leading Haredi rabbis felt that men serving alongside women was prohibited by Jewish law, and other issues. But in 1948 thousands of Haredim served and you can even see the pictures. It is a complex issue with many facets, many factions in the Haredi world today, etc.

To Make It Illegal To Collect Rainwater
So, I just did some research on this because it sounds so horrific. It turns out that all the same restrictions apply equally to all Israelis and Palestinians. These restrictions are part of the Oslo peace agreement, so the Palestinian government agreed to the program. Individuals, whether Palestinian or Israeli, *are* permitted to collect rainwater in buckets on their own property. However, the construction of rainwater collection apparatuses (more complex than buckets) requires a permit *for anyone*. This is because large scale water collection disrupts local agriculture, both in the Palestinian Territories and in Israel.
Absolutely fascinating, and, thank you for looking further into this. But, will it be enforced equally?
Load More Replies...Once again, the UN publishes something that only tells a tiny piece of the story in order to make Israel look bad. I've actually been there twice, and it's not anything like what pro-Palestinian propaganda would have you believe. Also: Judea and Samaria are not "occupied" by Israel. They were never part of another country prior to being occupied by Jordan in 1948, at which point the Jordanians ethnically cleansed every Jew from the area. Israel captured the territory in a defensive war in 1967, and therefore is permitted to hold it. The areas that are under Palestinian Authority control are autonomous.
Try reading Article 7 of the Hamas charter, where it explicitly states the goal is Hebrew genocide, and Article 13, says there is no solution to the "Palestinian problem except jihad and explicitly rejects peace talks and conferences as a “waste of time.” Then, go read the interview that Dutch newspaper Truow did with Zuheir Mohsen, one of the founders of the PLO (which later morphed into Hamas) where he directly admits that "Palestinian" is a completely and utterly fabricated ethnicity and nationality, created for the express purposes of justifying a Fatwa against Israel. THEN go read about the history of the region, from the Ottoman Empire through the British Mandate, and the Arab-Israeli wars. Come back to us when you have a clue what you're talking about.

Mehdi Hasan is a Hamas symp who thinks Jews don't have a right to exist in the birthplace of Judaism, so consider that about anything he says or puts a spin on.
Mistakes happen in wars, that is what happens, and if you dont want a war, dont invade your neighbor, m****r 1200 of their people, kidnap 200 more. Also dont use fighters are young as 14 and use human shields and use hospitals and schools as military facilities.
It's not a war, it's genocide. And that's exactly what the Hamas wanted to achieve with their terror attack on innocent people. They don't care about the Palestinian people (suppressing/torturing/kil.ling them themselves), and they knew that Netanyahu and his guys also don't care about them. So he doesn't mind kil.ling tens of thousands of them just to stay out of jail. And from the ashes of this nightmare with all the loss and desperation, a Hamas 2.0 will emerge, even more radical than the creation of the "original". A catastrophe for all peace-loving people (regardless whether they are Israel or Palestinian), and a huge victory for all the extremists (again, regardless...), as the conflict certainly won't come to an end in the next 20-30 years. But hey! "Mistakes were made... Oopsie daisy!!" 🤮

I really need to read more about this. Im in the US, we don't exactly get impartial news thanks to the wealthy owning the media. But we have been led to believe Hamas started it. I guess what I'm getting now is Israel is using excessive force because of this. All as an excuse to perpetrate a genocide? Is that close? I'm sorry for my ignorance. I really do want to learn unbiased truth.
The whole situation reaches way back to WW2 - But for the recent war: The Hamas attacked Israel, k****d 1.200 people including elders, women, children and babies and took 250 hostages. That's what triggered the military response to eliminate any military capability of the Gaza strip. The reason why many palestine civilians became victims is that the Hamas build their bases in/under schools, hospitals, UN offices, etc. and uses the people in Gaza as living shield. Main goal of that strategy is to portray Israel as genocidal aggressor (which sadly worked largely)
