Fellow porsters,
I'm certainly first in line with sarcasm and quick wit, but I write this with great sadness.
Last evening at Empiricalette's University, a young man tragically wasted his life.
Young freshman in first semester out drinking way too much with his frat brothers (don't get me started)*. Somehow wandered back to his dorm and his "brothers" didn't check on him. He went to dorm's gym, again allegedly, in middle of night and tried to bench press.
The bar slipped from his hands and crushed his trachea. He was found by passers by (gym is a glass bowl type) already dead. Empiricalette was one of them. The authorities reviewed the video and began piecing the story together.
We have all done stupid things in life. I myself should be dead x10 over and them some. Wasteful moments like this remind me that someone's mother and father, someone's siblings, someone's grandparents have had their lives irrepairably broken and crushed.
I saw this too many times on active duty and I used to tell my young ones like a skipped broken record, "at what point do you think this will have a good outcome for you?"
Hearts are broken with unimaginable pain because of an idiotic lapse in judgment by what appears several folks.
Hug your family and remind them to make good choices.
Best,
Empy
*what was briefed to entire dorm this afternoon
**where the 'fək were his "friends, his brothers"!!!
