Despite being “terrified… of losing friends and loved ones” (I felt nervous just watching this), this high school girl gives a pretty emphatic and well-delivered speech in which she comes out to an entire school assembly held on MLK day. It’s nice that the high school filmed and supported it. Video of the speech inside.

The Professional Profile Pic attempts to convey relevancy (i.e. irrelevancy) by ‘re-interpreting’ the traditional business profile picture circa the 1990’s and is engineered to procure in the viewer the belief that the individual is a sincere, well-rounded, no-nonsense, capable type of guy/girl who “gets the job done.”

I have no idea what these Russian kids were thinking, but it probably resulted in a very serious case of alcohol poisoning. Either way, the results aren’t pretty. Video after the jump.

You’re on an extended European vacation with your long-term monogamous girlfriend of two and a half years. In search of the “authentic European dining experience,” the two of you plan a night out on the town in one of Europe’s premier tourist destinations. But it could go all wrong. Thought Catalog’s first Choose Your Own Adventure inside!

Have another minor epiphany, this time about your family. Realize that none of them have done any of the things they said you could and would do. Bring this up to your father. Say “everyone in our family is average. No one has done anything. I feel really average. None of you have done anything.” He can only offer that he realized this way later in life than you did, so you must be off to a good start of some sort.

In the early hours of the morning, either more people on the west coast are happier than people on the east coast or more people on the west coast posture that they’re happier than do people on the east coast (personally I’d give both possibilities equal weight), who just seem really angry. Video inside.

Social Darwin Award for 2011 has already been secured by this dude. Can’t really say he wasn’t asking for it though, handing a loaded gun with the safety off over to a little kid that obviously had no idea what he was doing. Video for those that can bear to watch it inside.

Such moments become fiercely guarded, protected and cherished memories and subsequently, the recall of such memories is often the precursor to small mental breakdowns, large mental breakdowns, and evolution-of-a-relationship montages in movies, specifically circa 1980 and 1990.

Martha Stewart has a freaking human skull in her kitchen as a decorative object. And no, this isn’t a Halloween episode. According to BadassDigest, Martha goes the whole episode without mentioning the skull once. WTF?

Sex involving two partners shouldn’t have anything to do with Victoria Secret catalogs, Penelope Cruz, or any TV/movie love/romance/sex scene that once impressed you so deeply that it’s actually become a part of your sexual repertoire. Sex doesn’t have to be loud, it doesn’t have to be graceful, and you don’t have to roll your eyes to the back of your head to show your pleasure.

Can’t tell if this is depressing or really exciting. Where is he going? Is he alive? A number of options are explored after the jump.

Today in a live Q&A session with Tao Lin and Megan Boyle of MDMAfilms it was revealed that the two have been married in Las Vegas and have “made around $2000” from the venture.
