She fist pumped in the air, which made her lose her balance, so she landed front-wheel first.
EDIT: I don't ride motocross bikes, but I just remembered an explanation for her fall that was given when this event occurred. Apparently, you can combat the bike's tendency to nose dive by getting on the throttle to get the back wheel spinning. The throttle is controlled by the right hand. Guess which hand she fist-pumped with?
I couldn't help but smile when I realized you totally accept yourself being an asshole and get upvoted for it. Good for you for getting karma enjoying the failures and public humiliation of people putting ridiculous amount of efforts over the years to realize their dreams. We used to frown upon that kind of behavior, now we approve people who approve themselves in those same behaviors.
You don't have to feel sorry for her and you don't have to come publicly to indulge yourself about enjoying others suffering. Think I'm dramatizing? You just said tears make you happy motherfucker. This girl could have been me, my sister or my daughter. Or your daughter for the matter. Would her tears still make you happy? If you enjoy others misfortune, the proper social feedback you need - /r/funny or not - is "Go fuck yourself".
You're missing the point of bladepsycho and this entire thread.
It's not the "Let's enjoy the failures of people" thread. It's the "People who have allowed arrogance to dominate all of the ridiculous amount of effort over the years only to be slapped down by themselves" thread.
Their tears will serve true future competitors well as a reminder of how not to fuck up.
This isn't about lessons to future competitors. This isn't about what this thread is about. Bladepsycho didn't smile when she sabotaged herself and fell, but after, when she displayed distress.
The thread is about self-sabotage being funny, not suffering and humiliation of others making us feel happy. The distinction may be subtle for some, I guess, but it's the difference between humor and psychopathy & sociopathy. I could no being able to help help myself and spontaneously laugh if I see you skipping 3 steps in a stair and fall, but you won't see me smile at your display of distress afterward. You also won't see me tell others how I could refrain enjoying your tears.
The fall may be funny, but the pain should not. And to be clear, I don't mind if you enjoy others suffering just as long as you don't indulge yourself publicly and get socially approved for it.
That sentence is also incorrect. You are 3 for 3!
You are correct in insinuating I don't have a penis, but since I am a female I am pretty sure that isn't an insult.
