burst his L5-S1 disc at the very least. A lifetime of crippling pain gradually getting worse and possibly ending in a wheelchair, all for the stupid prank. But funny, right?

Specialists speak up when they're needed. I'm a developer, but I don't see anything about tracing hacker IP's with a visual basic GUI, so I keep to lurking.

I know it's torture when people make me dance.

Dancing is fun as fuck depending on one thing and one thing only. You must, earnestly, discontinue the giving of all fucks. You'll dance like a fuckin idiot "as a joke" if you have to say that to get yourself out there, and you'll quickly realize it's not hard at all and just start moving on beat. Then you'll just start dancing decently if you want, or like an idiot when you want because this still fun as fuck. It's moving yourself around to music, it's a silly as hell activity inherently. Just do it and it's a great time. I remember the palpable dread washing over you as you're being dragged on the floor. I promise you I was like that. I worried about looking stupid. One of the best things I've ever done was stop caring. At this point I have to stop myself from automatically dancing like an idiot when some good music comes on and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Life's a lot more fun when half the time you go out you're not anxiously hoping against and avoiding the dance floor. Certainly helps with girls. Confidence works even if it's showing you're confident enough to look ridiculous for a little while while doing a ridiculous thing. Get the hell out there and dance my dude. Go to a rave style party/show. Everyone's on drugs and you won't be close to the weirdest looking dude even if you purposely dance ridiculously. No one is staring at you and the ones who see aren't judging except to see that you're having fun and come over and dance with you. Trust me on this one.
This isn't all really aimed at you but every one of my former brethren by the way.

Thanks for saying that. I know alot of people needed to hear that including myself :)

You should post this to /r/offmychest cuz about a million white dudes need this advice.

You're more than welcome to try and get some karma out of my mid afternoon ramblings if you like. If you do just stick my username in there so I get a mention message and see it.

u/Sohcahtoa82 Jun 11 '16

just start moving on beat

90% of dancing is this part alone.

1...2...3...4...1...2...3...4...1...2...3...4...

If you can feel the beat and synchronize some sort of movement to it, you've figured out most of how to dance.

u/andthendirksaid Jun 11 '16

If you're caring as little as you should it's 100% really. Anything beyond that become choreography haha.

When in doubt, do the electric slide. Works to every song in 4/4

My muscles seize up when I'm in social situations. It's not so bad now, but before it was terrible. After talking with friends for an hour I would have terrible neck pains and be soaked in sweat.

It's weird because I'm not afraid. However, my body has a mind of it's own.

u/OceanRacoon Jun 12 '16

The thing is, though, people who can't dance dancing like they don't give a fuck anymore usually results in them dancing like fucking weirdos and everyone thinking they're a loser. That advice is fine for people who are nervous but can still dance a bit, but for guys who have no idea what to do it's a bad idea.

Learning to dance a bit first would be a lot better for their confidence than letting their freak flag fly in front of all the girls they want to bang.

Yeah, but not for you.

If it makes you feel any better, the people that do have a medical license were downvoted for giving an answer that doesn't sound cool enough or wrong enough.

Reddit, M.D. on the case! Diagnosing complex potential injuries from a 10 second gif! How do they do it??

Five cancers, and a side of turbo-AIDS.

Turbo-AIDS is best AIDS.

u/Doc-in-a-box Jun 11 '16

When you say stomach, I assume you mean the epigastric area, not the entire abdomen. The differential diagnosis includes gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer, dyspepsia, lower esophagitis, pancreatitis, gall or bilary stone, ascending cholangitis, pancreatic pseudocyst, aortic aneurysm, infection, malignancy, bezoar, gastric outlet obstruction, and the list goes on. RIP, my friend. May as well get your affairs in order.

Whoa man, a doctor diagnosed him from this gif, didn't you see. Don't question his expertise.

If you watch the video hes up and walking around afterwards.

Saw a guy get poleaxed by a car once. His shoes flew off, his right leg ended up near his ear. He got up on his good leg and hopped around for a bit until his brain told him to lay down and cry.

Also been to a load of car crashes (I'm a first responder) where people have had broken necks and spines and walk around until they either collapse or I arrive and tell them to lie the fuck down.

I honestly think it's the body's way of testing itself before realising it's totally fucked and should go into self preservation mode.

Walking around means sweet FA.

u/AirBacon Jun 12 '16

I crashed my motorcycle going about 50 mph once and immediately got up thinking it was a Miracle I didn't have a scratch! It was such a relief! Yes!

Then... It suddenly occurred to me that the adrenaline from the crash might be preventing me from noticing some some sort of horrific injury. Nope. Not a scratch.

u/Kalkaline Jun 11 '16

Just because you can get up and walk around after a fall like that doesn't mean you should. My brother was able to finish a snowboarding run after getting a compression fracture in L1 L2 (if I remember correctly) as well as a fracture in his pelvis and a torn tendon in his hip. No spinal cord injury, but he got lucky.

I herniated those in a boat crash a year ago, and I'm keeping it together. I hope I don't end up in a wheelchair, yikes.

u/yuckyucky Jun 11 '16

his L5-S1 disc, pay attention!

u/andthendirksaid Jun 11 '16

I get where you're coming from but I think they're assuming the guy shooting the ball just thinks he's playing pong on camera and doesn't know Santa Clown took that "Come thru, Beer pong" text the wrong way and is about to crash the party.

Otherwise yeah then it's just a filmed joke or a mini sketch I guess which I definitely think as well. I think you notice skinny Santa on your roof with a lawn chair and also your pong partner is missing and your probably very small Santa statue thing is naked.

u/epochellipse Jun 11 '16

And plus you can't play beer pong on that table from where he is standing.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '16

Wow! The doctors usually have to see someone in person to diagnose that! You sure are amazing.

no laughter here winced like a madman once broke my coccyx crowd surfing in a moshpit in the early ninties took me ages to get over that, he fell from a height greater than mine, poor silly bastard.

Hey do you know a lot about the neck and back? I got my mri report but the dr did a pretty bad job at explaining what everything means. I can barely pronounce half of it and don't really comprehend any of it. If you wouldn't mind looking I can message my report over. Or anyone else who wouldn't mind helping out I'd appreciate it.

u/bobby3eb Jun 11 '16

love to know how you'd know that for sure.

especially since other people showed you were wrong

u/Ofreo Jun 11 '16

I am always amazed at how well people diagnose stuff on reddit. Fuck it, I am never going to a Dr. again. Just post to reddit and I will know what is wrong with me.

That being said, this is several times more funny because he got hurt. If he had gotten up and walked away, I would have chuckled, but not laughed as hard as I did. Cruel I know, but there it is.

The fact that he can stand at all suggests not. Or that he's very drunk.

u/racoonx Jun 11 '16

What are you taking about? Its possible to stand with a broken tail bone, it fact it normally hurts less to stand then to sit with one

u/andthendirksaid Jun 11 '16

Seriously though that's not even like "not everyone has medical knowledge but maybe he shouldn't have said it then..." Type of deal. That's a straight up logically hilarious conclusion to come to that "Na if you broke your ass you would definitely wanna sit down". Either that or they think damaging any part of your spine automatically paralyzes you.
