Dude Shows Off Slick Drill Prosthetic


Ian Davis has a channel dedicated to fabricated a new kind of partial hand prosthetic. It looks like it's straight out of a video game, but it's functional, and it looks cool as hell.

Photographer Offers Free Shoot, Still Isn't Enough


These choosing beggars just keep on coming with their unyielding, wildly irrational demands. This time we've got a particularly gnarly choosing beggar with formidable levels of entitlement that managed to pitch a fit about a free photo shoot. I mean, come on. Check out another choosing beggar case with this choosing beggar who wouldn't pay for a site to get developed because it was free to visit.

1.

Text - Hi how are you? I really like you images and l'd love if we could do a collab? Hi, thanks for reaching out ! I'm glad that you like my iamges ! Are there any specific shots that you were looking for? I currently have a special for 3 looks and 9 edited images for $175! Lmk if that's someting you'd be interested in

2.

Text - Oh really? I was mostly looking for something that I wouldn't have to pay for, which is why I said collab! I currently don't have funds and would appreciate if we could just work something out and both be happy! Got it. I'm not doing free shoots at the moment as I'm very busy. But you seem to be genuine so I just thought of something. I got this camera from my grandfather that has been sitting here for a while and I think this is going to be a great

3.

Text - opportunity for me to test it out and maybe we could do a trade as you mentionned ? I also have this really cool backdrop that I wanted to use...So let's say we do a TFP shoot where I try y new backdrop and new camera on you (probably an all white outfit would work for what I have in mind; can be a dress, a wedding gown or anything, just white ) and we do 1 or 2 additional looks where you get to pick whatever outfit/image style that you want, free of charge 9 ! How does that sound?

4.

Text - Hmmmm. I am not really into being used as a "test out" sorry! this soudn like something you'd hire a model for and pay them? so I got a ! Since you're trading with 2 "free looks" | can make you pay me just half of what you'd pay a regular model if you were yo hire them for your test needs! better deal And for the white outfit that you wanted I could find one online and send you the price for it? or also I could rent my mom's wedding dress and have you pay a very low fee

5.

Text - for it ? l'd be honored to wear my mom's wedding gown ona shoot! I think that you misunderstood the word "test". I'm not using you at all, I'm actually doing you a favor since you're the one needing pictures. That "test" as you mentioned can be done anytime and I also can do it without a model. Why would I pay you if you were the one who brought up the "trade" part ? And also l'm not providing any funds for the white outfit, as I said it could be anything white,

6.

Text - if you don't have someting white send me your measurements and l'll try to see what I can get from a friend of mine who is a stylist ! I also have a local make up artist who I work with, she only charges $45/ hour for a shoot if that's someting that you'd be interested in ( ar your own cost of course) if not you can just do makeup for a natural look! hope that that's more understandable!

7.

Text - Wow ! You seem to be veery demanding for what you call a "trade". I have to pay for my make up too? Is this a modern type of slave labour ! Come on man, now why don't we just put the tst thing aside to make things less complicated because you said that that's something that you don't need a model for ? You could just do the shoot for free and I can bring all 3 looks of my choice? I don't have too many outfits, so having your styist friend would also be appreciated !

8.

Text - As for make up, how about you choose the make up that tou want for me ( not too muc make up of course) and you get to pay the Make up artist, since you're gonna pick up artist, since you're gonna pick the one I should have? I think thi will make things easier Did you just said my that I was too demanding after all these things that you want done at no charge lol?

9.

Text - You know what I don't think that this is going to work! I'm pretty sure that are other photographers out there who'd be willing (maybe) to prove what you're looking for, but not me! I'm gonna pass on this "trade"! Good luck Really ? I need these pictures and you should help me! You know that I will look beautiful in all of them and that'd be great for you! Hello?

10.

Text - Can you please respond rather than leaving me on seen? Never mind ! It's your loss anyway! Just know that if ou get any negative review, you know where it's coming from Unprofessional Aa :)

Roommate Complains Herself Into A Corner


College can be a time for self discovery, as well as realizing who you never want to live with or see again for the rest of your life. This particular roommate thought they could get out of a moving fee by having a feud with their roommate, and they ended up backing themselves into a corner. For another roommate revenge story, here are nurses who took revenge on their roommate.

1.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/zardkween 3 days ago Don't touch MY stuff oc M In college, I had a randomly assigned roommate that I did not get along with at all. Our personalities were just on two opposite ends of the personality spectrum and we clashed. The only things we had in common were that we went to the same college and lived in the same apartment. That's it. Anyways, it was a nightmare living situation. The apartment had four rooms and two bathrooms. She and I shared the sa

2.

Text - After over 8 months of just pure passive aggressiveness towards each other (like, I would put sticky notes on her days old dirty dishes and she would put my wet laundry on the floor), she decided to report me to apartment management for "bullying" her. Honestly, we were doing it to each other. However, the apartment management took pity on her because I was tall and athletic and she was 6 inches shorter than me and very thin. She claimed I "physically intimidated" her and she was scared t

3.

Text - The warning stated that we were not to touch any of each others personal belongings without written permission. First infraction was a $250 fine. Second infraction was a $500 fine. And a third infraction would result in eviction. I was so scared walking out of the office because I could not afford those fines and she had the biggest smile on her face. I knew that she would immediately report me. I went back to the apartment and she left for work. I was mortified. Then I realized she made

4.

Text - So, I immediately emptied out everything that was mine in our shared bathroom (shower curtain, toilet paper, rug, towels, soap). I grabbed my magnetic whiteboard and listed out everything in the kitchen that belonged to me (plates, cups, mugs, pots, pans, silverware, coffee maker, toaster, pot holder, towels, literally listed every single item) and said that she is not allowed to use any of it without my written (no texts) permission. I also drew some eyes to remind her that everyone was

5.

Text - Later, she came home from work and had a meltdown. She screamed!!! Not any words, just a blood curdling scream!!! In the following couple of days, her father came to the apartment to threaten me that they were getting a lawyer (lol), she bought her first roll of toilet paper and a plastic shower curtain, but it was too much for her to handle. She went back to the main office to report my "bullying" once again and was instead told she could either deal with it or pay $500 to move to a new

People Doing Stupid Risky Junk


We've all had the thought when we've had to reach an extra high ceiling or move a couch out of a hard-to-move-out-of place. "Well as long as I keep my balance we'll be fine." It's tempting to climb on top of a car and just weigh a mattress down with your body, but most of us can at least acknowledge that that's kind of a bad idea. Here are more unapproved safety failures that OSHA wouldn't like.

Stupid Ways People Injured Themselves


Probably the only good thing about getting injured is that it gives you a cool story to tell about how you tried to do a back flip or you punched through a cinder block. But too often injuries come from jarringly mundane, stupid and dull tasks then you're only embarrassed to admit. People have some real dumb and embarrassing freak injuries.

The resulting damage to his hand left him permanently unable to fully close it. At the time he was very drunk and preaching about how harmful weed is because it destroys your body..

Text - softserveshittaco 37 points · 3 days ago I used to lift pretty heavy but I got lazy and stopped working out for a while. My first week back in the gym I felt GREAT, and on leg day I decided to hit the squat rack. My 5RM for back squat used to be 315lbs, but I knew I wouldn't hit that, so after my warm up sets I racked 185 (easy), 205 (easy), and then 225 (easy). My legs felt great! So I racked 245 and assumed I'd be able to hit 5 reps at least. On the 2nd rep while raising, I fucking fold

I slipped, landed all 350lbs of my then-self on the edge of a step just above my left butt cheek. This resulted in a fractured pelvis and nerve damage, both of which still bother me from time to time 16 years later.
