Once the tissue is dead it doesn’t hurt anymore, so after a brief, initial discomfort I’m sure it wasn’t at all painful. Or any sensation at all. Probably didn’t need 10 hours but I’m guessing these guys were a bit clueless about a lot of things. > [@LSLGuy](#): > > I’m curious about the evil mofo who did the persuading.

They could have just kneecapped him. I guess they wanted to be like Michelle Obama and go higher. Next thing you know, they’ll try to get the upper hand. ---

He should look at the bright side. We all remember the joke about the vindictively literal genie who granted a man’s wish to have a penis that hung close to the floor. This guy got the wish. And didn’t need to first find a genie, which is usually the hardest part. ---

Tone-deaf fucker has a name. And thoughts. No real need to watch video involving this Patrycja Siarek asshat (whose dog left a young child in Toronto with life-altering injuries) other than to note that she asked the judge: “Am I getting my dogs back?” ---

Well, at least one of Gonzaga’s stars (Ryan Nembhard) is from Canada, and who knows how many other Canadians are being smuggled in on those buses? 🤔 😱 ---

Quite so. He and others have insisted that whoever this group was, what they claimed is happening anyway and nobody has given them a “good answer”. ---

The real answer is actually a pretty good “good answer” answer. Maybe he’s looking for something like: “Why did I assume that was a busload of immigrants being shipped about?” Answer: “Because you’re a fucking moron.” ---

This is the kind of shit that makes me agree with that thread that suggests the world would be be better off without the internet. Nickleodeon? WTF? Someone, somewhere, fucked up maintenance (probably). Two ship’s pilots and the captain released a warning, but it was way too late to get a couple of tug boats nearby. It doesn’t really matter that the captain is in control, the harbour pilots are giving the orders, because they know the channel. I cannot see (or I wish I could not see) how this tragic accident could become a conspiracy theory. ---
