  When I was around 10/12 years old I was in a tropical themed water park where also happened to be a herbal bath. It smelled very nice, which I had not expected. Most of the tropical plants were fake plastic plants, so I figured the water in the bath was normal swming pool water and the smell was coming from something else. The bath was surrounded with a small aromatic herb garden which didn't look fake. I sneakily took a sample from a thyme plant that felt surprisingly real. But because the air was filled with all the different aromas and a hint of chlorine I couldn't smell anything different when I tried to smell the thyme. I figured the only place where my sense of smell couldn't be fooled by any fakery was underwater. For 5 seconds I actually felt pretty smart. Untill I tried.

  Oh, I thought my dad couldn't read for too long.. He never read me bedtime stories, always tired from working all day. The fact that he was reading newspapers all the time didn't really connect.. That reindeer wasn't an actual animal but specifically a mythical animal that santa claus used. I believed this until I was 23 or so when I saw some nature documentary talking about reindeer. I was like. As a kid, I thought that the 'World Wars' were like battle royales where there were no alliances, no surrenders, and just pure bloody violence between every country on Earth (e.g. I thought every country fought all of its neighbours simultneously) Buy it:  Chicago Cubs NL Central Division Champions Shirt Home: Pocatees

  Man this thread reminds me so much of my dad. He was also in the service and was missing a pinky. He told me several stories of how he lost it. First the Dr cut it off so he wouldn’t suck on it, then a bullet blew it off while he was in Vietnam, and finally the truth, he cut it when he worked in a butcher shop. Not my story, but my sister grew up believing she was a puppy before she was a human. I don't know the whole story behind that but she legit thought she was a puppy Buy it:  You Can’T Scare Me I’M A Soccer Mom Halloween Premium T-Shirt Home: Pocatees

  About 35-40%, apparently they use the rifle to show how a catastrophic failure can happen. The firing pin got jammed, so when he went to bring the bolt forward the pin hit the cap and went off. That explains it. Bolt actions are normally really strong, I was wondering what happened that led to that kind of injury. If the bolt wasn't locked in place it probably shot back through his hand. He had shrapnel hit all over his face and some tiny metal flakes still in his eyes. So his vision isnt great but he can see...I would never have noticed the face scars if he hadn't pointed some out.

  My dad told me this story about how he was training with a bolt action rifle in the airforce. Long story short-the gun exploded, his hand was crushed and ripped apart at the same time, some bones were turned to powder, and he had to have emergency surgery to save his hand. He told me they gave him the option of getting an attachment for a gun or sword but he turned them down because he liked to work with his hands. All true...except the attachment...like six years later I play final fantasy 7 and learn about barrett's arm, irony isnt exactly the right word, but its damn close.

Twenty years later I got a bug bite on my leg, that got infected (sorry, hope you're not eating) and left a perfectly round scar in the same place as his. I commented on how much my bug bite scar looked like his gunshot wound scar and he said "what? Is that what I told you? No, this was a bug bite that got infected."

  Edit: just also remembered it back fired on him. Of course I told all the neighbourhood kids with great pride and excitement. He totally had the piss taken out of him by the neighbourhood dad's down the local pub when the kids all went home asking their dads if they'd fought pirates too. My dad told me this story about how he was training with a bolt action rifle in the airforce.

  He used to tell me that the reason he was bald was that he stood on a landmine which blew the hair off the top of his head and it slipped round to give him the beard instead. He also told me that a scar on his leg was from a gunshot wound.

  When we played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon my little sister used to accept the lamest missions and not get good rewards. I told her about it and she responded with. I read something that there was a Pokémon in an older game that was endangered according to the lore. On one of these ask reddit threads some guy said he spent hours breeding and releasing them. The new lore now says they have bounced back from endangerment. I had a teacher that had a blanket in the back of her classroom, and a mini fridge and this only further elucidated my hypothesis.

  I was 12 when they asked me, as they did each year at Thanksgiving, which kind of meat I wanted. That year, I said, "Dark meat, please.... but I feel bad I'm the only one who really eats it and you always have to get an entire second Turkey just for me." That reminds me of 4 year old me that hated celery but after my mum told me that these green things on my plate were actually 'italian well crabs' i ate it like candy. My sister still makes fun of me 17 years later. I thought sugar grew in sugar caves, similar to salt caves. I believed that sugar crystals (like rock candy) just grew in caves and there were parts of the world with beautiful crystallised sugar caves.

  I also firmly believe that the Armed Forces would remember their oaths, and uphold the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. What we have to do is not meet these fuckers in any sort of armed conflict. Make it really clear who exactly is disturbing the peace, and gather intelligence on what they are doing. Wherever they go we vanish, but they would be always watched. We use every non violent way to interfere and degrade their ability to do terror attacks. We turn them into outcasts essentially, which we are free to do. Buy it:  Stay Spooky Retro Pumpkin Bat Essential Halloween 2020 Shirt Home: Pocatees

  You can't run America at the barrel of a gun. They don't have enough people to even really try. America is simply too large, and you can't bomb cities and keep them functional. We literally wouldn't have to do shit to get them to stop. If we did a general strike they simply wouldn't be able to function. How about just organizing fake leftist events and then not showing at all? They're mostly reactionaries...so they'll show up thinking we all will and then they'll all just be there alone. Buy it:  I Am So Cute It’S Scary Black Cat Halloween Shirt Home: Pocatees

  In general, be courteous to others. Debate/discuss/argue the merits of ideas, don't attack people. Personal insults, shill or troll accusations, hate speech, any advocating or wishing death/physical harm, and other rule violations can result in a permanent ban. 18 U.S. Code § 594: Intimidation of voters Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces … any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. This isn’t the first time an “army for trump” has been mentioned.

  Final thoughts on the debate: Biden did okay, I thought he could have done better and he had some stuttering/gaffe moments but finished really good. He might have flipped a few votes but didn’t lose any from it and at the end of the day I’m not voting for Biden because of his speaking or debate skills, I’m voting for him because he doesn’t support groups labeled by the FBI as domestic terrorist and is a good decent man who actually cares about our country. I think Biden will do much better in 2 weeks though since he will be more settled in and know what to expect.

  Given the context of this presidency and presidential debates in general, is anyone else genuinely impressed with how Wallace did? He pushed back way harder against Trump than I would have ever expected, and while I wish he'd been able to cut microphones, I came away really pleased. I don't know how a moderator could have been stronger without coming off as egregiously biased (fairly or not). I was hoping to see the debates be a moment where we can go from "clear but not overwhelming win" to "blue Texas". That didn't happen here, but he didn't blow it either. Buy it:  Stay Spooky Retro Halloween Day 2020 Shirt Home: Pocatees

  Plus, the main adjectives the viewers are using to describe the debate in rapid polling is some variant of “annoying”, “frustrating”, and “pointless”. I think that means the viewership of later debates will be low, if not abysmally low, which closes the gap the Trump has to make up ground even more. I usually don't comment on political subreddits but man that was just atrocious. Trump straight up refused to condemn white supremacists and instead told them to "stand by." That's just so... Utterly idiotic and evil to me. He's somehow managed to make me hate him even more which I didn't think was possible. Also, and I don't know if it was just in comparison to Trump's shit show, but I think Biden kicked ass here. Trump's ass specifically but in general he was able to get through all of his points, made his intentions and plans clear and somehow managed to find ways to retort to the complete lunacy coming out of Trump's mouth. I cannot wait to vo...

  Trump acted like such a schoolyard bully that it's hard for anyone to come out of that experience looking great, especially since this is politics. When someone starts flinging mud, it gets everywhere, it dirties the entire process, even when you try to act with dignity (like Biden did). This debate was embarrassing for America, but that fault lies on Trump. To think electorally, I think this debate was great for Biden. He has the clear lead in the polls, and Trump is desperate for a realignment of undecided voters. That’s not happening. I don’t see any movement in support as a result of tonight.
