karadin:lotrlocked:aphony-cree:sheinthatfandom:crackinwise:the-real-seebs:luffykun3695:iwilleatyourenglish:wowvantasticbaby:Just so people know, I looked at the source and the sister was in a very bad car accident and these gifts are likely her way of dealing with her trauma. honestly…. the fact that they didn’t include this in the original post fucking sucks.but also… i know these gifts may seem “creepy,” but they’re all really practical (well, aside from the book) and show that she clearly cares about the safety of her loved ones.This makes me wonder how people view trauma. You see a lot assholes online of shitting on “sjws” for being triggered and not having ~real~ PTSD, but things like this make me wonder if people simply have no idea how to recognize PTSD when it’s not people freaking out over a loud noise.… “doesn’t … seem traumatized by it at all”what. the. fuck. how does that not “seem traumatized”.Her way of dealing with trauma is trying to prevent others’ trauma, and regardless, those are mostly useful gifts the average person doesn’t think of getting until it’s too late. High anxiety runs in my family so they gift the same kinda things. Idk how caring about someone is killing the mood.First of all where the fuck can I get that cpr dummy cause holy shit that’s useful. Hell I wanna adopt her cause she deserves a better family and a better sister cause fuck you thats PTSD that’s fucking trauma that’s someone who needs love and care and understanding not you posting on reddit bout wow such a mood killer giving us thoughtful and useful gifts that could SAVE OUR FUCKING LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN!!!!!!!! The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook is a real book that uses humor to teach. You probably wont ever need to diffuse a bomb or win a sword fight (which are in the book) but How to Treat a Leg Fracture and How to Survive an Earthquake are things that could happen on a month long vacation. And if she bought them the Travel edition it has things like How to Survive a Mugging and How to Survive a High Rise Hotel FireAll of these were practical and thoughtful gifts. Even if you never use the book it’d be an entertaining read while stuck on a plane or trainI want her to come to my Christmas because I want those gifts We All Need a Sister Safety in our lifeAlright, I know people already said it: Those gifts really are practical. Fires are more common than people think: kitchen, electrical, an asshole/idiot trying to use fireworks in dry grass land.Seatbelt cutters and window breakers are important in the just in case scenario because you can be a good driver but others are not. The security system with motion lights is a great gift because 1) it can catch the perp in the act of breaking in and out 2) gives a record of who and who was not present at the home 3) can deter thieves from an attempt.The baby model CPR mannequin is really important. CPR on infants is different than giving it to older children and adults. You would use your fingers rather than the whole hands to give chest compressions since baby bones are far more flexible due to cartilage and, well, babies are small. Having a model that gives live feedback during practice is great since it tells you the speed is off or the pressure is too hard or soft.And on another note: CHEST COMPRESSIONS. CHEST COMPRESSIONS. CHEST COMPRESSIONS. If there’s someone that requires CPR, it’s the chest compressions that can save them. The very action itself manually pumps the heart and moves blood and oxygen to important organs (THE BRAIN!). -- source link
