Oh my gosh, that is so messed up, did not know that. But yeah, thinking about it now, it makes a lot of sense.

I can’t undo what happened, I’ve seen such shite before, but I was walking my teeny tiny dog and when I saw what was inevitably happening, I took my dog on my arms and turned around 180 degrees. Yeah, it was horrible what happened, I was close to the person getting hit, but not close enough. Even if I ran, not a snowball’s chance in hell. Sometimes you can’t do anything.
But yeah, I am okay. I’ve seen shite like that before, jumpers. My dog is sleeping on my chest now and didn’t see / notice any of it.
EDIT: Also, thank you for being concerned, but I’m okay. :) Do not worry about me.
My first job after school and job training was being a paramedic. I was never mad at suicidal people or folks OD’ing. They are in a shit situation in life. But easily avoidable deaths? Jaysus Christ on a bike and all his carpenter friends… Train surfing morons (electricity fueled power lines and low hanging traffic signs!!!). People trying to walk through closed train barriers and getting hit. Car drivers speeding. People looking at their phones while crossing the street. There’s a reason why I quit that job after 2 years. Oh dear lord am I mad at those gobshites just thinking back.
EDIT: Maybe because I’m mad as hell right now again: I live in a tiny village, so people would assume there’s not much going on there, but we have two major train lines running through it. The tounge in cheeck joke here is: “The train barriers are always closed”. Yes, many times enough, you need to wait patiently in front of them before you can walk again, drive you car again, ride your bike again. A 19 year old girl was thinking otherwise just yesterday and got mown over by a train. While I was standing there.
What did I do? Calling the firefighters, knowing that’s a lost cause and they will have to spray that fucking 30 meters of blood away with their hoses. Also calling the firefighters here, they are deeply connected with paramedics - not that anyone needed them at that time anymore, but they have emergency psychologists on speed dial as well - for example for the train driver and any bystanders. Blergh. Fucking idiots… Ruining everyone’s day. I didn’t notify the cops around here because they are usually the first responders here at a very busy double highway with people speeding. I didn’t want to fuck up their day as well. Eventually they turned up as well, but only after there was some cleaning and they just interviewed witnesses for the report.
:(
EDIT 2: Before you ask: I arrived just a minute too late to pull her away from getting too close to the tracks. :/
I haven’t. Learning was always easy for me. Pay attention in class, take proper notes and do your homework. I know I’m lucky in that regard. Usually I only checked my notes the night before an exam and went through with it care-free. I only really studied for my math A-levels because it’s not my strongest subject and for my final Spanish exam at the end of my 3-years job training because I could’t care less about the language and thus only ever did the bare minimum learning it.
Season 4, Star Trek Enterprise, the Mirror Universe episode, showing a slightly different first contact with the Vulcans. ^^

Loved watching Batman & Pinkie and the Brain. Freakazoid was the rare one.
Cheers. It’s really great and lots of fun. Already recording an album for a German band in the studio thanks to some amazing teachers out there.
After loosing some of my hearing and not being able to compose electronic music anymore, I basically retired from being a musician. Picked up drumming about 9 months ago and I’m surprisingly good at it.
Fish and seafood always disgusted me and killing animals for food just felt morally and ethically wrong to me. Thus I became a vegetarian at the age of 13. I’ve never missed eating meat so far. I went vegan for 2 years, but bounced back because I couldn’t live without cheese and eggs.
I’ve been a vegetarian for the past 24 years, but if I ate meat, and it was banned, I’d defo try insects. I’m actually curious about how they taste. Like friend ants, crickets, and so on.
Can confirm, I used to live in Dublin for ages. It’s a kip.
Mythbusters and Star Trek have already been mentioned, so I’m adding Babylon 5. Fight fascism!
I want one! Gimme!
Thanks for bringing up this childhood trauma again…
I love you, Goober!
