good to be back :)

My grandma is in the ward and all she does is walk endlessly with no destination. Reality is far more terrifying than fiction will ever be.

Dementia is probably one of the most scariest mental disorder and worst ways to go out. Losing that special connection with your family and dying with your life feeling empty. And then even seeing your family struggle to help you as much as they can.

Nexpo ordering Burger King: "I'll have a whopper...
twenty seconds of dramatic silence
...with cheese."

When confronted with something like that, it's no wonder ancient humans thought natural disasters were pissed off gods.

"thankfully, everyone in that store was okay that day."
after hearing that audio, that was the most relieving thing you could've possibly said.

My grandmother had dementia. She would tell me very detailed stories of her child hood but couldn't remember who I was. During her last hours she fell into a deep coma her breathing was so light with long holds and then she stopped.....About 10 min later she woke up picked her head up and said her goodbyes to us calling each of us there by our names and then she was gone.

I lost my great-grandmother to dementia in 2016, she was 99. She was a lively woman, even when she couldn't remember her family, she still cracked jokes with us and made us laugh. She had her red hair, which somehow never grayed and she never dyed it. And all of her teeth were still intact. She could still play piano and never failed to show off her skill. In her younger days, she was a school teacher, and after her death, her students wrote us letters and emails telling us how much she changed and affected their school experience. I miss you Mary, may you rest in peace.

I can't imagine how horrified that family in the car must've been.  Really sucks to hear them in their final moments

"Would you. Could you. On a Train?" gave me absolute chills. The idea of the emergency broadcast system being hacked is horrifying, especially if the same party was responsible for the crash.

The tornado footage was grim, but hearing complete strangers weather it together and comfort each other puts a little faith in humanity back in my heart

The alerts on tv, regardless of a joke, or an error, they always make me feel something, it's so weird to be watching your usual tv stuff but all of the sudden an alert comes, like, that shit's scary

That car accident one was really disturbing. It's disgusting what corporations can get away with with just a slap on the wrist.

To anyone if your accelarator ever get stuck, dont turn off the vehicle, just put it in neutral and try to stop safely. Turning off the vehicle will lock up the steering wheel and you wont be able to turn.

In the Samantha Koenig case, the fact that the man went on a trip with his family before coming back and setting up her corpse is chilling. I can’t imagine the horror of the guy’s family members when they realized they were having fun with a horrific monster while another family was worrying over a woman that was already dead because of him.

"Let's set the mood"

Proceeds to give me an immediate existential crisis

6:42 dude just the fact that you had a great-grandmother that was still alive during most of your life is wild ! Not a lot of people have had the privilege to exist alongside their great-grandparent, Your great-grandmother must've had an absolute beast of an immune system for her to be alive long enough to be in your life for multiple years.

At first he mentions how dark and disturbing reality is, then he manages to ease the tension by offering a positive outlook. Love this channel.

"While they may have forgotten, they surely won't be"

What a line.

Hey, I'm Trace, I was one of the few people that were in the gas station during that tornado in Joplin. Truly a traumatizing experience to say the least. To say something positive out of something so morbid, thankfully that tornado hit on a Sunday. If it had happened during a school day, the death toll could have been so much higher. The Highschool was completely demolished.  Happy to say Joplin has fully recovered.
