    I had a 7 year old girl brought to the hospital I worked out of at the time, while I was employed as a crisis intervention worker.

    Flipping out, screaming, punching, kicking, biting, as they try to secure her on the stretcher. She kicks her mother in the face in the process, bad bloody nose, possibly broken, blood starts pouring out, 7 year old starts giggling and pointing at her mother as this happens.

    Ya got me what the answer is to these situations.

    I worked crisis intervention for a few years. I have arrived to probably a dozen or so suicides. About a half dozen left these huge manifestos.

    Every. Single. One. Got thrown away, 2 had family members toss it in front of me. Turns out your loved ones do not often want to read the crazy shit you killed yourself over, especially when it ultimately changed nothing. One individual had 1000+ pages written, the family wanted nothing to do with it.

    I'm not pro-suicide for anything. Most of these people are just depressed. It's not resolve when you're giving up on life.

    A lot of the people that drive these things are acting like children in adult bodies. I have seen some wildly dumb shit happen. It's like the car company created by the Darwin Awards...

    I literally once saw someone eating on a little folding table/desk of some sort in their Tesla (driver seat, of course) with the dash screen playing some sort of media.

    Another time, the person was playing a handheld gaming console of some sort, in the driver seat.

    An the automatic lane switching doesn't adjust for people speeding up in the passing lane well. I've seen a couple near accidents there.

    This was my first magazine subscription....followed by the original Sonic the Hedgehog comic and WCW Magazine (pretty sure it was called that, black and white newspaper type print). Sad to see them go, I remember the classified ad area in the back was usually interesting/odd.

    I still have 2 magazine subscriptions that are active. I used eBook readers for a few years, but eventually reverted back to physical print for nonspecific reasons.

    It's nice having a monthly surprise of sorts delivered in the mail that is not a bill or from Amazon.

    The Ryan Howard experience, pitcher version.

    Guess that means they plan on him being a semi-permanent jersey seller too. Maybe the pitching staff is seeing something else there that could be developed, not so sure myself.

    That being said, Griff Mcgarry kinda fell apart as a prospect, IMO. Mick Abel started and lost his first triple A game, which kept the Ironpigs out of the Triple A championship. Andrew Painter is IR/disabled until 2025 as per tommy johns surgery. An love Jose Alvarado, but when he gets spooked/nervous, he starts to lose control and throwing balls.

    This is a long winded way of saying, might not be who we want, but who we need.

    What a sad death of such an iconic service.

    Growing up in the 1990s hardcore/punk scene(s), myself and friends took Greyhounds everywhere. As did a lot of homeless punk kids back then. For friends I knew that were being physically and/or sexually abused, Greyhound was their only way out.

    Movie Suggestions needed!

    I have been taking shrooms for over a decade now and I think I'm finally out of movies to watch, so I was hoping to crowd source some recommendations here and maybe even throw together a film list for fellow Lemmy psychonauts. I tend to focus on comedies - I've seen all Mel Brooks films (except Silent Movie), Monty Python, all things MST3K/Elvira/Svenghoulie. The classics like Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Dazed & Confused, as well as, "good" B movies/flops like Tank Girl. That being said, I've seen a ton of cerebral films too, along the lines of Waking Life for example. All I can think of to watch right now is Rango, History of the world part 2 and Freakazoid season 2....these are mostly choices out of desperation at this point, ha (except Rango). Maybe Animaniacs (new & old)? Cloud Atlas? So, if you have any obscure comedy recommendations, cerebral films, documentaries, let em rip! (To paraphrase Leslie Nielsen). I'll compile a master list here after a month (?) of postings. Thanks!
