I swear I must have the only water phobic fog on the planet. My damn cat has ruined her, I know. If she she a bucket of water bigger than her water dish she tries to hide behind me for protection, even if I'm the one with the water. Baths are SO fun.
Not only that, she's 80 lbs of solid muscle that thinks she the size of a yorkie. And she has the nails of a velociraptor. She got a sore from where my idiot cat scratched her and I need to bathe her. I ended up putting her on the patio, throwing 3 5 gallon buckets of soapy water...everywhere, then using those rubbery grooming glove to rub her down, then repeating the bucket splashing with clean water. I'm pretty sure more water got on me and the patio than her. But hey, my patio got cleaned.
Apparently pouring water on someone mostly on the chest during what's probably the old ice bucket thing is the same as tying someone down, putting a wet cloth on their face, and pouring water on that for long enough that they have to breath in the liquid that's soaking the cloth in an extremely painful and potentially deadly even after you're breathing fine later due to having a large amount of water in your lungs.
No, pour water on someone who had fallen, already poured water on themselves, can't get up, and pouring directly on their FACE is. Especially when that person was already gasping from their fall. That's an asshole move, and pouring water on the face of someone who can't get up is in fact pretty much waterboarding. It could also easily lead to dry drowning. And its sure as hell NOT in the spirit of the ALS challenge. For one, note the guy who is getting doused is able to hold his head down, keeping water from his face. The girl falls, is pinned by the bucket, even if only momentarily, and the other guy pours his bucket directly on her face.
It wasn't directly on the face. If you actually look at the damn gif you can see it hits the face for a part of a second before it moves to the chest. Plus the angle it went was going mostly down the face rather than into the face. Doing something that's AFV worthy in an ALS video is definitely in the spirit as the whole point was to spread awareness with something humorous. The girl was in minimal danger of having water in her lungs. The whole "dumping water on someones head and chest after they fall trying to do it to someone else" is something that's been done on comedy in planned things in basically this same way. Overreaction to things like this is asinine.
I am looking at the gif, and he hit her square in face then yes, moves it down but its still right in the face. And saying its AFV isn't helping the case if it not being jerkish. The difference here is one person was not only expecting it, but willing. The other had fallen, and instead of being a decent human being the guy decided to be "funny" and make it worse for her. The bucket challenge was to raise funds and awareness, not to pull jackass stunts, regardless of how it evolved through social media. And I'm not overreacting. I similarly stated it was an asshole move, you are the one who jumped on it like I was calling him the next Hitler.
The actual point of direct impact is below the chin. The whole ice bucket challenge is a fucking jackass stunt. It gets attention. Attention gets awareness. It's the whole fucking point of the thing. Your inability to look closely enough at the gif to see the point of impact is absurd (which equates out to the point of force and the amount of force actually hitting her face, which is from the very edge of the water mass for most of the hit and only on her face for a small enough section of time to not have the weight nor strength of the rest of the impact)
I know the math behind that. It would have had to drop from higher up and in much greater quantity to do anything to her without having the cloth on her face to force the liquid into her lungs. Do the math. Use the Bernoulli equation with gravity, about 3 feet initial height, about 1.5 foot initial diameter and waters fluid density.She's in minimum danger of water hurting her
Y'all figured out yet that they were there to do a challenge? They are all dressed and expecting to get wet whether by choice or not. Not enough context like for you to hear if the guys give her a warning like "here comes more waterrrrr" she pours water on her face herself by accident. By then she's already holding her breath. Your body isn't stupid enough to just drown to death with the amount of water she received. Your body isn't a sensitive piece of porcelain
I feel like you have a lot of experience with rage, and limited experience with friendship, and social interaction in general. I'm not sure who hurt you, but I hope you can talk to someone about it soon :/ I
