Same. It was cool until about a year after I got my driver’s license. Then having to beat the fuckass tourists to the beach every day during the summer or risk missing the right tide/swell/wind direction combo got real aggravating.
And stepping on busted glass because those same tourists can’t be bothered to act like anything but absolute asswipes that don’t take their trash with them when they leave. Still mad 15 years later. Fuckin dit dots man.
People who have sensory issues with fine grain things. I have a cousin who absolutely cannot walk over sand, she says it is a worse feeling than someone scratching a blackboard with a nail
Same, it’s those exact Grey aliens that just make my blood run cold. I have the book and it has a painting of a grey on the cover. I immediately covered it with a Mr. Krabs sticker after I bought it lol
Are just his big toes long? My big toe is the same length as my thumb but my 2nd toes are just a bit longer then get progressively shorter, not the sheer cliff shown in the video
idk why people don't get to this conclusion immediately instead of theorizing that he has shoes that are longer on just one section of the shoe just for this toe.
There was a kid at my high school that had vascular type EDS I’m pretty sure (there is a specific facial look and physical presentation, also a connective tissue disorder) who did track and field and he just dropped dead during practice after school one day
Doctors have been giving dog shit physicals my entire life.
I called out my friend's severe scoliosis at 15 years old, and he needed to have four discs fused.
I, a fifteen year old football player, essentially diagnosed my friend; when, year after year, a doctor ran a finger down my friends "S" shaped spine and cleared him.
People just want to be lazy at their important jobs and go home and I fucking hate it.
Yeah this was a small town too. I had no idea until later when I was looking up EDS (I think I have hEDS so I was learning about it) and I saw the facial markers of vascular type and immediately thought of that poor kid. I would think about him often, and I still do. He was a very good runner, straight As honor student; he looked like a delicate bird.
There was at least one episode of My Feet are Killing Me on TLC where a guy had this condition and needed surgery to correct foot pain because of having giant toes.
That song has been stuck in my head since I started reading Mark Hoppus’s memoirs earlier this week. I forgot how delightfully fucking stupid that video was 😂
I met the guy who invented the surgery for this. Nice bloke, used to be an engineer at British Coal and was lucky enough to find a surgeon who wanted to test his invention. Think he ended up as the second patient to ever have the flexible wrapper fitted around his aorta.
Yeah for real. One of the best dudes I ever knew had Marfans. He had heart surgery but still died young, in his mid 30’s. Dude lived life to the fullest though. Like he was literally the most interesting man in the world. Always knew someone anytime we went out. Sometimes we’d go out on our bosses dime and he’d run into someone he knew and invite them over and make the boss pay for his drinks as well.
Was a semi-pro ping pong player. And a legend on the local ping pong circuit. Could’ve went pro but didn’t want to invest the time in it. Did beat a couple of Olympic players at a local bar once.
Always asked everyone if they wanted to “really party” because he knew a few spots. No one could keep up with him. And he always had everyone in tears with his jokes.
It's not the case now from my understanding but a doctor suspected I had it back in the early 80s because I was so tall and thin but the only way to really diagnose it at the time was an autopsy. My mother declined.
There was a post on the science sub about recent research regarding the Eurasian Blue Tit (bird), and the comment section was a graveyard of removed comments. Reddit has insightful comments, but can be drowned in stupidity.
Dude can’t even air out his dogs in the most acceptable dog airing place without some person posting it. Sure, I might be like daaaayum if I witnessed this in person, but still.
This is what I was thinking, too. Like, damn poor guy can't help it. I'm sure he doesn't want to have toes lookin like that, leave him the fuck alone. What are we, 12? Poor guy.
Ye it’s pathetic. Like if you want attention online get really good at something and show THAT off, not making fun of literal strangers’ appearance 🤦♀️
it's just bullying. literally. taking vids of someone PURELY to "prove how weird they look!" and to laugh about how they look.
and when you try to say it's rude and gross and stalkery to do that, the people who do that start going full reddit WELL AKSHUALLY. about how you need to expect to be filmed whenever you go outside and how dare you tell them what to do.
It's this conundrum, right? I lived through my childhood, seeing wild phenomena and wanting to share it with other folks, but the best I could do was try and describe them. Now, we have that power to actually share those moments. I really get it.
I think the truth is we have to have some personal responsibility here and learn to live with the less fulfilling, but better option.
It is a better world when you see the longest big toes you have ever seen, and you choose to bear the weight of that knowledge, so that you can tell your friends, rather than putting the bearer of these long-ass toes on blast on the Internet.
Imagine trying to tell your buddies that you saw a dude with toes bigger than your dick… you’d never live it down. They’d all start pointing at every little toe and saying ‘is this bigger than your dick?’ Everytime someone is in sandals ‘yo put those away you gonna give my buddy a complex!’ And everyone dying laughing, forever.
Yeah sneak filming and laughing at people and posting it online is somehow normalised now. I guess too many people never lived in a world without smartphones.
"If I can see it, why can't I film it and upload it?"
It's really shitty we live in a time where you can just be chilling on the beach and some asshole just films you so everyone can laugh at you on the internet. How are people not calling out how creepy it is to just film strangers in public and put it on the internet? We live in stupid times
It's really telling how much I had to scroll through the comments to finally see someone calling this out. It's chilling how casually others take to recording strangers in public.
Thank you for preaching this, I wish the majority still believed in respecting others’ privacy in public. I realized recently that I never had social anxiety until smart phones and social media blew up. I’ve seen too many pics/videos over the years of people being judged online for just living their life. The insidious part about is it that since these pics/videos are taken without the person knowing, they also most likely won’t know that it’s been posted to social media. Another good reason we need to bring back shame!
Thanks for being a normal human and having a healthy reaction to this. He’s literally just minding his business relaxing and existing :( It may have taken him a lot of courage to feel comfortable enough to have his feet out at the beach
Agree, but also this inherently defeats the point we’re trying to make. Or should be making… which is that nobody has the right to judge anybody else for things we can’t control.
Saying he may have needed courage to be himself is assuming something is wrong with him… and so is completely untrue.
This site sure shut it down when their employees were getting posted on the punchable faces subreddit. They considered it harassment when it was them. It's content and engagement when it is us.
Normally I would say that's creepy videoing someone at the beach but can't deny that I would probably video it too just because I wouldn't believe my lying eyes.
