Dead, I dont think so. At least not the two guys to the side. That one behind the breach tho, yeah he just had his 'nads blasted off. The other two are still standing and that was a really flame heavy (low energy) explosion + the camera guy barely flinches when it goes off. Any shrapnel was most likely contained by the barrel, so only the guy directly behind the breach was at direct risk from that. Those other two are having a bad day, but they’re gonna walk away…

“Anyone who thinks themselves a tankie is too self aware to be one” sounds like one of those fallacies you’d learn about in highschool. (What is a tankie, btw? I’ve been too scared to ask…)*

It’s not an insertable toy, it’s just a novelty vibrator.

BUCKLE UP BUCKAROOS, WE’RE TAKING Y’ALL DOWN WITH US! ohgodImsodepressed

Nah, binface seems pretty well grounded.

Nono, see this was totally normal procedure. It was just a wild accident that the kid was sealed inside completely inverted. Not their fault. Clearly. For some reason. If they’d left him the right way round, he might have set off the alarm?

I thought this was a bit absurd until I looked up what a “bivy” is, as I’d been assuming it was just a tent.

Yeah, not hard to see how a kid could suffocate by getting turned around in what is basically a watertight sack with two sticks added. Wtf? who puts kids, let alone kids with anxiety, into one of those things unattended? holy shit.

If cows made tools, they’d probably suck.

I’m just commenting to get your hopes up that you might have gotten an answer, but I don’t know either. Please, someone tell me what it means :(

Well damn, alright. I rescind my previous snark, that makes a lot of sense!

I know these videos always have watermarks, but holy shit is this one excessive. Wtf.

How do you know someone’s a tankie? don’t worry, they’ll tell you…

Big if true. Going to need some real convincing benchmarks to believe this one, though. From a read, seems like they’re implementing ASIC on processor dies, which is not at all a new concept.

That is gone to be one hell of a warranty claim. You know. If they live through the next five seconds.

Deinstitutionalization was dreampt up by deluded idealists that slept with a copy of Naissance de la Clinique firmly lodged in their asses. Abolishing asylums was good, because at the time asylums were the aforesaid victorian dungeons. But from the outset, the movement was based on the belief that a magic pill would cure everything and all long term treatment was oppressive.

Antipsychotics enabled community treatment at all. But the wholesale rejection of both long term and secure treatment facilities was an indefensible failure of reasoning and an abject tragedy, and one that was set in motion by Hoffman and his peers when they penned the foundational texts of the movement.

We desperately need secure treatment facilities. There is no solution if we do not have them, just the continuing abject failure of basic human decency that we currently have. This system is broken, and it is directly the fault of everyone who began the deinstitutionalization movement and their total inability to foresee the obvious consequences of their actions. Regan was evil and JFK was understandably bitter, and even though they both worked to bring the end of asylums, they are both still guilty for their roles in bringing this current hell down on us.

What?? We desperately need mental health institutions back. No, we don’t need the romanticized victorian dungeons, but what we do need is an alternative to jails. Secure treatment facilities. We have… four, on the west coast. Two of which have at most ~160 beds. The priority waiting list for admission is decades long (no, that isnt an exaggeration) and there isn’t a non-priority waiting list. If you’re not a priority, you just go to jail!

Community treatment is critical and we totally lack anything like it, but good god deinstitutionalization was one of the biggest public health and social equity diasters this country has ever had.

Never bought paint before, eh?
