      Everybody here is making fun of her. A comment that is 2-3 comments above yours, has thousands of likes and 100s are calling her useless and such. She held him up and called for help. What else to do on a solemn ceremony being broadcasted?
      They are calling her trans with the face of a man and body of a woman.

      Can attest to something similar to this. I have a weird tendency to laugh when I hear (or have to break) terrible news. One example is that one of my regulars at work was off grid around the few days that Kobe Bryant died. We're both sports nuts, so I could tell that when he came in and neither of us mentioned it, he didn't know. When I told him, I began to giggle like a fucking idiot. It was purely physical because there was nothing remotely funny about breaking that news.

      @@neverwinta7702 why does that matter? You don't get less prone to fainting as you grow in age. British Coldstream guards are also famous for fainting at attention at their posts because they wear those extremely hot uniforms. Lots of situations can make even physically fit soldiers at risk to faint if in extremely constructive situations for long periods of time.

      @styleroler5816 Před 2 lety +227

      @@jordanbrock8199 they're not locking their knees and remaining completely still. The human body is not designed to stand without moving. Standing requires the heart to pump the blood much harder, and that requires some level of physical exertion to increase heart rate. Something as little as shaking your leg or moving your hands can often be more than enough, but standing completely still without any kind of body readjustments can be extremely dangerous. This is well known in the military, which is why for instance soldiers on guard duty regularly march back and forth a few feet every couple of minutes. This is intentional to give the body the ability to increase the blood flow and decrease the risk of fainting. Standing completely still at attention for instance is usually the worst situation you can be in when it comes to this risk. When it comes to super market store workers, yes they are standing, but I think for obvious reasons you can understand that they are not standing completely still. It is your natural instinct to move, and you're not gonna do it without intentionally making an effort not yo move.

But God loved us and gave us His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place to pay the punishment of all of our sins for us when he died on the cross. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and yet God the Son also. God the Father (God)has raised Jesus his son from the dead. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!!!!

      000 it's where you keep your legs completely straight for an extended amount of time with no bend in your knees, it causes blood pooling and will promptly lead you to faint from blood mis/malcirculation

      That’s not a seizure… his head would be bumping against the desk & wouldn’t of recovered so quick. Chances are he hadn’t eaten in a bit and was standing for too long so his brain didn’t get enough blood/oxygen, hence the fainting and trembling. Not to mention if your body goes limp and only your legs are supporting you, you’re gonna be shaking because you’ve lost balance.
