Were you told not to go up there?

Just don't touch both terminals at the same time. You only need to unplug one side. Also there's not enough current to hurt you, even if you got shocked. Or just smash it, idc.

Basically, I had a friend who did construction and road work for most his life. He is the foreman of a construction company, and I went to him to rebuild and update our roads. I blindly trusted him because we’ve been friends since high school, and I’d assume he would shoot me an accurate number. Low and behold, it was about $12,000 more than the actual cost, and he pocketed the surplus. His ass is in jail, and my political career is over. I’m just reduced to that guy who flashes children I guess

Besides the issue of restaurant rules about bringing in outside food, I'm pretty sure OP ran afoul of some Health Department regulation or another. So, yaknow, breaking the law.

He kneed your vulva and you need your vulva

> I accidentally signed off on a deal that let one of my past friends extort over $12,000 from the City

There's literally no way i believe this can be done by accident.

My exact question. OP, you did it to get a reaction. Nothing about the prank was funny. You knew you'd upset an entire restaurant (??? So weird, imo lol)

Coincidentally, the kids were learning about the reproductive system today, so you helped supplement their lesson

Way to twist my words. You’re not the victim here.

a used stamp has no intrinsic value

What reaction/outcome were you expecting? What’s the point of all this?

This is clearly a SCAM.

The first post was them saying "I have this thing and I'm going to kill myself (physician assisted suicide)" over a non-terminal condition.

Now its "It can all be OK - all I need is $4 mil" and have 'suggested' a gofundme as an idea.

Patient-funded stem cell research is a SERIOUS red flag for snakeoil salesmen preying on people's desperation. This is just not the way legitimate things are done. Harvesting and using a patient's own stem cells allows them to circumvent regulations that are in place to protect you.

As you said, ENS is not that rare. If a university is on the cusp of achieving a legitimate cure, they're going to finance it themselves... not make you front the cost. Universities love advancing fields of medicine, but it doesn't involve the patient's dime (e.g. face transplants). Regenerative medicine is going to be the future, but we're not there yet, and you paying $4mil is not going to push what they're doing into the realm of legitimacy. They would be more than happy to finance your procedure if its success would enable them to claim that advancement.

Very sorry you've been enduring this, OP.

I think you're missing the point.

Be honest,it was one of those "help me big bro, I'm stuck" videos, wasn't it?

That would be the only good reason for her reaction, unless she's underage.

My sister's would laugh at me for the rest of my life. I would never live it down.

No.. Only the idiots pulling the prank think its funny. Do you ever empathise with the person you're pulling the prank on? To think you can just go about pranking random people is another level of entitlement.

Everyone handles grief differently. Especially in cases of suicide.

Tbh though I think the chances of it working can be quite high. It makes sense, at least on paper.

You are clearly just the worst kind of person. "Let's be absolute dicks and call it a prank! HAHAHA!"

Welcome to religion

Oof… I feel your pain…

No, they don't.

That's just called being an asshole.
