We all fail from time to time—it’s inevitable. Sometimes it happens at work, sometimes at home. We fail at making spreadsheets and creating pitches, when trying new recipes or changing up the old ones, we sometimes fail as friends, partners, and parents, too. That is why trying to do something new or especially challenging can be very hard.
But you know what’s the worst failure one can make? One that is captured and put on the internet for everyone to see. Nothing compares to getting your embarrassment immortalized on the web.
So here are a few of those embarrassments that people will never be able to shake off. They might be waking up in cold sweat remembering it right as you’re reading this. Enjoy!

To Insult Women
So, if we all fail all the time, and it is sort of a prerequisite that it will happen sooner or later, why is it so hard to embrace failure? Well, there are few reasons behind it. One can be related to the way we were brough up. A lot of us grew up being praised for our successes only, leading us to believe that if we don’t succeed, there is nothing to be celebrated or appreciated there.
We also tend to identify solely with our successes. We consider our jobs and our achievements the building blocks of who we are. We are doctors, engineers, physicists, librarians, competition winners, bonus collectors, and promotion earners.

That’s what we ask about when we meet someone for the first time—their most prominent achievements. And we form our opinion about them based on that, often not taking into consideration things they have failed to achieve.
We also tend to compare ourselves to others, which is never a good idea. We see how our former colleagues or classmates are advancing in their careers and are creating families and we start to think we are lagging behind. We see and hear about their healthy or fancy lifestyles and we think we are not doing nearly enough, we’re lazy, and we’re failing at life. This is even further exacerbated by the perfection we see on our social media feeds.

To Make This Student Think Before They Ink
Success is all around us. We see athletes winning medals, movie starts attending film premieres, and businessmen succeeding in their ventures. What we don’t see are the grueling training that athletes go through. We don’t see the hundreds of auditions that the actors failed. The multiple times that businessmen had to go back to the drawing board before coming up with something successful is also left behind the curtain.

To Say Jesus Didn't Use Pronouns
David Paterson 1 year ago
Darn good question. I'll look it up. Jesus didn't say "I am he", but he did say "I am" in the earliest Greek version. English translaters added the word "he" later.

In my eyes, the Bible is the collection of such a huge amount of b******t, that you can find a confirmation for f*****g everything in it.
Jessisaur 1 year ago
Let me start off by saying religion and faith can be a very beautiful thing. But some people cherry pick the Bible and ignore anything that might not fit their beliefs. When they translated the Bible to the King James version they changed some phrases. The original text says "Man sham not lay with BOYl", NOT "Man shall not lie with man". The Sodomites were doing inappropriate stuff with young boys and obviously they were punished for that.

Sure but he's tweeting back at Laverne Spicer. It's low hanging fruit. That woman does nothing but spew festering, disgusting rhetoric that a five year old can see through. Her whole thing is being a low cost maga fog horn. Ignoring her and not amplifying her stupidity would be far better.

PS: ... and don't start lecturing me about the benefits for society of he/his/her/them stuff, dear angry-language-police-online-mob. / Dear every else co-Pandas of all sexes and genders, I appreciate you all. I have a monozygot transsexual twin brother and spend a lot of time with HIM on self help/info groups of transsexuals and their relatives up to the point of giving lectures to them ( because they knew I went into the deep-end academic search of transsexual history and they asked me!), long before "T" was even included in their LGB- group meeting place's name. That was 20+ years ago and I've kept me informed since then. If I'm not sure-sure how to address someone I ask.

I think some of the homophobes are so stupid that they don't realize that "pronouns" is a grammatical term, not a "gay" term.

It's never not funny when supposed Christians don't know what's actually in the bible. And that they can presume to speak for Jesus.

God talks about himself in plural, as early as Genesis 1:26: "Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness". Every person able to read ought to at least get that far in the Bible...

Jesus would never cancel, censor or persecute you. Of course, he's not a fascist like the morons who are happy to defend men disguised as women against women. 100 years to acquire our Rights and a decade to lose them against men who "feel" they are women.

Read 18:4-5 you’ll see why. He asked who they were liking for. The said Jesus of Nazareth. He then said I am he.

When you consider all that, it is no surprise that we are so hell-bent on not failing. It’s also understandable why we feel so crushed when things end up not going our way. The good things is, that you can learn to deal with it. And, with some practice, failure won’t feel like such a devastation anymore.

Rayne OfSalt 1 year ago
There's a follow-up that got missed. The person who wanted the cat gone got voted out of office while the cat was still "employed" at the library.
Firstly, it’s important to identify that you yourself aren’t a failure. Failure might happen to you, it might be something you experience, but you as a person are not a disappointment. Recognizing that is important. If you think of yourself as someone who has endured failure and still carried on, it might even give you a boost of confidence.

Another good way of dealing with failure is gratitude. Recognizing what you already have can help you gain perspective on things. Sure, you might have not succeeded when delivering a task at work, but it’s also showed you what a supportive team you have and how your boss will always have your back. You might have failed to make a delicious-looking recipe, but it’s nice to know that you have the time and the resources to experiment in the kitchen.

To Meet Your Grandparents
An important part of moving on from failure is looking into it and seeing what you could take away from it. That is really what makes the difference between failure and failure that leads to success. Sure, no one wants to ruminate on a relationship that broke down, but examining it to notice if there were any patterns there that you can work on is really beneficial. It can make your future relationship more fulfilling.

So, all that is to say, that you shouldn’t be afraid to fail. Do it, examine it, and learn from your mistakes. This is what growth is like. Just make sure no one is there to capture your fails and put it on the internet as it might end up a list like this one.

The hate on the women in the last post is ridiculous. People are mad like they murdered someone just because the mother and grandmother had something done. The comments are just outright vicious. “Accept every body type” unless someone gains confidence by having a minor alteration, then throw every horrible insult at them to make them insecure.
