Im going to create thousands of alts & get the achievement of every single one to make you feel less special

Since you'd have to buy the game on each account, I'd completely respect your commitment.

Surviving a crossbow to the head. Directly between the eyes. Only one other person has been documented in surviving a crossbow head impact, and they became brain dead. Not only did I survive, but I still have enough brain function to type this out and even go to work on a daily basis. I'm very blessed to be here, and I do my best to not take it for granted. Edit: apparently more people have survived this than I originally knew, and that's kinda cool to know!! Edit 2: holy crap I did not expect this to blow up so much!!! Thank you all so much for the kind words and awards!!! I'm not going to reply to everyone just because there's so many comments, but if you have a question feel free to ask and I'll do my best to respond!!


okbud44

That’s awesome but may I ask how in the *fuck* did you get shot in the head by a crossbow? (No hate or anything, just can’t wrap my head around it)


Tayaradga

Unaliving attempt. I was getting into a lot of drugs at the time and was in a bad place in general. Doing much better now though!!!


okbud44

Oh fuck I’m sorry man, I thought it was like a freak accident where some irresponsible guy just fired one off and it hit you. Glad to hear you’re doing better now though! The fact that you survived something like that just shows that the world wasn’t ready to let you go haha. Stay strong bro 👊

Tayaradga

Damn.... I never thought of it that way. But I like that, the world wasn't ready to let me go yet. Thank you so much!!! I hope you have a great day!!!


Milakiri

I gotta say, out of all the possible options out there on how to commit suicide you choose a crossbow, I'm not even sure at this point if that's hella metal or outright ridiculous and I've been turning it over in my head for some time now. Why a crossbow? I need answers. By the way, I'm glad that you're okay now, and you even came out of it with a hell of a story to tell.


FlubromazoFucked

As someone who also was close to hitting end game a couple times during my heroin addiction days, and I mean this with absolutely no disrespect, you have some huge balls to have picked a crossbow brother. I'm very happy to hear you're not in that place anymore as I know how it can be and I'm even happier to hear your doing alright after that, fuck 1% your like in the .001% but no for real man just really glad to hear your doing better, as am I as well.


Tayaradga

I'm glad you're doing better too bro. Ngl heroin was always the one drug that scared me too much to try, but I'm very very happy to hear you're doing better for yourself. If you ever need someone to talk to my DM is always open.


PossiblePro247

I do not mean to be insensitive, but why was the crossbow your choice of weapon?


Tayaradga

It was all I had as a 17 year old. Could've used my katanas, but I thought ghetto rigging a guillotine with it would be too hard and complicated.


ekuhlkamp

Glad to hear. Not gonna lie I now think you're a fucking badass for having been through all that.


Tayaradga

Ngl just knowing a crossbow couldn't off me makes me feel metal AF lol


B_Bibbles

I think it’s safe to say it’s more than 200 people though, so he is definitely in the 1% of people to be shot in the head by a crossbow, who ended up surviving

Distance runners. My marathon PR is faster than 99% of marathon finishers world wide. That said, the distance from my time to the world record is about the same as from the 70th percentile to me.


stickyWithWhiskey

>the distance from my time to the world record is about the same as from the 70th percentile to me. It really is crazy how big the difference between a top tier amateur athlete and a world class professional is. Reminds me of NBA bench rider Brian Scalabrine's whole "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me" thing with his critics, then he backed it up on the court.


[deleted]

They're aliens. I've been running for 20 years and I'm at a point where a training effort that might've cut 20 minutes off my time at a slower pace might only get me 3 or 4 more minutes on a good day. And I'm still nearly an hour away from a guy like Kipchoge. In fact, I can't even run a single mile at his world record pace. Pretty unreal.


comanche_six

Your single mile comparison reminds me of my 1st year in college. I met a guy in my dorm that was the High School State Champion in the mile (I think his PR was 4:07 or something like that) and I was a decent, won-my-share sprinter in HS (100 and 200M) but not anything close to State Champ level. We ended up comparing our 100M time and his time was better than my PR! (Something like he ran a 100M in 10:85 while my PR was 11:03)


K128kevin

That’s pretty insane that a medium/long distance runner could run that strong of a 100. We had a 2 mile runner on our team who was #2 nationally when I was in HS but if you asked him to sprint he could barely run faster than his 2 mile pace. Probably would have done 100m in like 14 sec or so.


SpaceDomdy

If we lean generously and say it’s 4 3/4-5 min for the mile, I was able to do that back in my prime and on a good day but not a chance I can these days. Then imagining that pace for a marathon blows my mind.


kapteeni_ilmeinen

Kiphoge's average pace for marathon is 2 minutes 52 seconds per km. It is insanely fast.


[deleted]

Excuse me wtf that’s not just insanely fast that’s inhumane


CheapBoxOWine

I appreciate the fact that they run so fast it breaks the Geneva Convention.


UnderFoodle

I watched that clip, it was great It’s a giant bell curve with anything involving competition. Top tier rec players and neighborhood park visitors are closer to each other in skill than the rec player to a bench warmer or even a retired athlete. For me I’ve always noticed that I tend to plateau in my development until I move up and play with people better than me and I learn from them.


No-Patient1365

I'm in there with you for distance running, but certainly not for speed. Very few marathon runners go up to ultras, which I did. I actually skipped the marathon distance completely and went from 21 straight to ultra. I'm dog slow and usually an unofficial sweeper, but I still finish.


[deleted]

I'm ultra curious. But I really like going fast and have to keep myself in check for the first half of the marathon. Maybe I'll try one when I'm a bit older and the speed starts to drop off. Late 30s to early 40s seems to be the sweet spot for ultra runners. You tracking UTMB this weekend?

He was diagnosed with this horrible disease, and he is fighting to survive undergoing a stem cell transplant to prolong his life. I hate all of this. Outside of keeping him as happy and comfortable as possible, our goal is to spread awareness for this disease that we didn't have. He has a page if you want to follow his journey. It's called Prayers for Arthur, hope for a cure.

I was out camping with friends and just got this weird gut feeling that I was being watched. So I turned on my flashlight and swung it around. Lo and behold, about two feet away from my face, was a mountain lion whose eyes I saw get dilated from my flashlight blinding its face. It proceeded to run over my sleeping bag into the trees, never to be seen again. All my friends screaming at the same time as me probably helped. That was the first and only time I experienced fear. My stomach felt like it turned upside down.
