What's the closest you've come to dying anon?
I'll start:
>I was in terrorist bombing (visiting britland, a friend dragged me to a ariana grande concert), anyways it throw me like 50 feet and shattered my right hand/wrist. I almost died because of a shitty pop star.
Ok your turn.

During Army Basic Training, toward the end, you have to do a "night infiltration course" which includes low-crawling under barbed wire while Drill Sergeants fire M40Bs over your head (not SUPER close, but close enough) and drop grenades in pits nearby, giving the impression of being in an intense firefight. Had I stood up, I probably would've eaten a bullet.

Was highly depressed and drunk and did a ''driving russian roulette'' in my college's city longest avenue during the night. It had like, 9 or 10 crossing street points and I went full speed not caring if something hit me. In the second last crossing point a massive bus almost hit me, it seriously almost scratched the back of my car by a 2 meter or less difference.

Later that same year I had a cocaine overdose. Fuck 2016, godforsaken year.

When I was 6 me and my older 10 year old cousin were together and he got a hold of one of his dad's guns. Said dad had recently started teaching the boy to shoot so he knew how to load and rack it. Long story short he was dicking around and had a negligent discharge with the bullet coming about a foot away from my leg. I can still remember my ears ringing. When the adults came running in he tried to blame it on me too and said I tried to take the gun away from him. So we both ended up getting a beating from our dads.

I'm not sure how close I was to dying or if it was really a possibility at all, but I suddenly had the worst headache of my entire. The worst pain I have ever felt. So agonizing. I already had bad experiences with doctors dismissing my concerns of feeling wrong but it was so immensely painful I went to the ER. Basically said nothing was imminently wrong and I just had a migraine.

So I just went home. It was so immensely painful. I was in tears every day. I begged my family members to kill me. And I could not sleep as well, because it was so painful, and I couldn't feel my face. No pain medication I could get my hands on would help. My vision would blur and I would see shining dots in my vision. Every night I would be up agonizing in pain, and only sleeping when my body was so tired that I would collapse for 2-4 hours, and the chronic sleep deprivation made me feel terrible, my body felt weak all over, I felt I would collapse at any moment. It was my own personal hell on earth.

Well, after about 2 months, it went away. In the following months I would sometimes feel it in my head again for a few days, but it went away shortly after. I lived in fear it would return and it would never go away.

Well, it took a few months and I finally after begging a few times at Dr appts for an MRI to see what was wrong, hoping somebody would take me seriously, I finally got one and when results came out I immediately got a referral to neurosurgery. I had a tumor, benign thankfully but the neurosurgeon told me it shows signs of hemorrhaging. I had a somewhat rare, sometimes life-threatening complication called pituitary apoplexy and I guess it's been bleeding for some time lol. So I got the tumor removed a few months ago but I guess I have to take some meds for the rest of my life.

I was hit by a bus when I was 16.
Tried to cross, but he didn't even brake.
Got my feet off the ground and I ended up hitting my head on a metal bollard.
I saw stars and knew I had to get to my feet immediately, or I'd probably pass out and never wake up.
Went to hospital later on, and they didn't keep me overnight.
It's a disappointment to me that I survived. Despite passing two years of college. All I lived for was 20 years of NEETdom and inceldom.

You have to be ruthless my friend. The ability to be ruthless in war is a necessity for victory:
1)force the afghans to pay for their own occupation
2)put a mandatory shot-to-kill curfew on all afghans at night.
3)break up their clan structures and urbanize them
4)have mandatory formation/roll calls for ALL afghans 4 times a day
5)bring in Americans to run their government (don't train afghans, don't advise afghans, bring in Americans)
6)give afghan women to American soldiers as brides as incentives for long term deployments (20 years long)
7)bring in tons of jeet mercenaries so the Taliban kills them instead
That's how you win.

I was completely oblivious to it. When I think of the caliber of individual needed to be part of a clandestine terrorist cell I think of someone who's at least somewhat sophisticated. Most of the neighborhood was north African and Arab migrants and they were the most intellectually incapacitated people I have ever encountered. I wouldn't have batted an eye if one of these people got riled up, ran out into the street and stabbed the first white person they saw as an act of Jihad but I didn't expect a coordinated cell. Guess there's a reason they got caught lol.

Well remembering things people today don't know, such as: the reason Roman ships have those up-curved ends is because they purposely made them to look like tied reed boats. Or that the lepenski Vir "fish god statues" are actually shamans who would get sickly and have bags in their eyes from the poison they took. I like remembering the vibe of a time and place. Some are great some bad. We are not in a great era, but it's also not bad either, out era is like being in an airport: it's comfortable and efficient but also annoying, expensive alienating and exhausting.
