    My curiosity got the better of me and I watched a video of a drug cartel beheading three people. Two with a chainsaw, one with a knife. It was horrific and not quick.

    If you’re ever tempted to watch something like that, do not do it. It’s not worth it. It’s been years and I still have random intrusive thoughts about it and it makes me physically ill.

      Sounds closer to ptsd than intrusive thoughts tbh

      Originally ptsd was diagnosed to military AND first responders, first responders because they saw some shit.

      Like you did

    The discrepancy between the post title and the comments is absolutely astounding

      Honestly if you regret not making a move when you’re a kid at 62 flipping years old. I have to assume there’s tons more mistakes you’ve made.

    I have very few regrets in life, so something like that wouldn’t affect me too much.

    The video that scared me the most was a documentary about Robert Ben Rhoades, and let me be clear, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST looking him up. He was a serial killer who had a modified dungeon in the cab of his truck, which he used to torture and kill people. His story stuck with me for a couple of reasons: the manner in which he was caught, which in and of itself is a terrifying story, and the fact that there are photos on the Web that he took of his victims moments before death, and for me, that’s just something that stuck with me.

    Even his mugshot is ghastly. The guy looks like he stepped out of a horror movie.
