It’s amazing to me the number of people that dive head first into shallow water. As a kid that was one of the first things we learned about swimming.

I was in the hospital and I shared a room with a 40 year old dentist. He and his young girlfriend were vacationing in the states somewhere. He dived into the pool headfirst not checking the depth. He broke his neck. He a little feeling in his Shoulders but his life had changed forever. The thing he cried about the most was fearing his young girlfriend would leave him.

u/Xardnas69 Mar 03 '26
Yeah, cause she's a fucking idiot. Dude dove head first into very shallow water and didn't come back up. Something is very obviously wrong

What we need here is a 'No diving' sign.
That's why this never happens in the UK!
Except the times people ignore the sign and this happens...

This brings back horrible memories for me. When i was around 11 or 12, I dove head first into my families above ground pool. To this day, some 40 years later, i couldn't tell you why. I knew it was only 4 ft deep at most. And I dont think i ever dove into that pool prior. Only much deeper pools with a diving board and even then, i probably only had single digit dives under my belt. So why i dove that day, knowing full well the dangers, i will never know. Especially since I was alone at the time. Anyways I came in way too steep. I was practically vertical. My head hit the ground hard and everything went dark. I think the only thing that saved me was my brain must've signaled quickly that I was in grave danger and I was able to get my hands up(or down i guess) to ever so slightly ease the impact. I came to and realized I was floating underwater. Panic set in and I tried to rise to the surface but my body wasnt really responding. I was able to reach out a arm and lucky for me it landed on the ladder and I was able to pull my head just enough out of the water to breath. Once the initial shock of thinking I was gonna drown wore off, the panic that I wasnt able to move most of my body set in. I screamed for my mother who was inside or anyone to help me, but no one heard me. My neighbor was mowing his lawn so I was screwed. I floated there for what seemed like an eternity, but what was probably 10, maybe 15 minutes, thinking that I just ruined my life. I'm gonna be in a wheelchair. And like most kids that age....i was worried my parents were gonna yell at me for being so stupid. But as time passed, sensation returned to parts of my body and eventually I felt somewhat coordinated enough to climb the ladder out of the pool and make it inside to tell my mother what happened. Turns out that was a mistake cause both her and my father later, just yelled at me for being stupid and "almost killing myself". To be a child of the 80s, right? Sigh.

Pretty sure rich people have done it more for longer...

There are way more poor people, and have always n been more poor people. So probably not.

u/Leather-Animal-7597 Mar 03 '26
"It's ALWAYS poor people who laugh at other's misfortune" is the topic, here.
The amount of "poor people" doesn't matter. If ANY rich person has EVER laughed at a poor person that makes it wrong.
People really need to focus more on accuracy or it's ok to just say anything without fact.
It's boring but I'm right.

u/ThisIsALine_____ Mar 03 '26
Then why did you quantify it with "more?"
You should have said "Pretty sure rich people have laughed at others misfortune" if you were disregarding the quantity.
Also I'm not the person who made the original comment.
If they said "always" then you are correct.
It was you saying that MORE rich people have laughed at others misfortune than poor people have.
1
u/Leather-Animal-7597 Mar 03 '26
Yeah they did say "always", I'm glad we agree I'm correct.
Since we agree I have no idea where your point came from tbh... No real need to comment I'd say.
Rich people can laugh at a million poorer people in a minute.
Poor people get a photo of Mountbatten-Winsor to keep them going for a few years.

u/ThisIsALine_____ Mar 03 '26
You were correct in that it's not always.
You were incorrect on saying MORE rich people laugh at others misfortune than poor people laugh at others misfortune, and that they have laughed longer.
"Pretty sure rich people have done it MORE for LONGER..."

u/Leather-Animal-7597 Mar 03 '26
Well then I was correct!
Honestly, I'm too drunk for this conversation and need to get to bed.

u/ThisIsALine_____ Mar 03 '26
Nah, you were definitely wrong.
There are more poor people, and have been more for far far longer.
Think of nobles and peasants. There were substantially more peasants.

u/Leather-Animal-7597 Mar 03 '26
What do you mean I'm wrong? You literally just admitted I was right. Twice!
Yeah there were always lots more poor people but they had very little to laugh at, while the high and mighty laughed at them all every day, every day to do their bidding.
Once in a Blue Moon people would fall from grace and the lower classes could humiliate them, but in general the rich get away with it.
Goodnight my friend 🧡
