Bacon and ice cream go great together and I refuse to pretend they don’t.
I still miss midnight snack ice cream. Potato chips covered in chocolate. Delicious

I’ll give you 20 to 1
I love how this image is a pun
Probably more so cheaper to mold the plastic case with weak threads than any other function.
Machinist guy here!
Threads fail. Threads are generally the most likely thing to fail in any given mechanism. Generally, when the threads are expected to do more work than just sit there and not move, as in fastening a hinge for example, we try to make sure the threads are all the same kind of material.
I would never expect plastic threads to hold up to repeated use with an iron bolt inside. Something is going to give up, and it’s going to be the soft plastic threads, every single time.
Think about cheap as fuck IKEA furniture, any time they have a bolt to screw in, you install an insert first. We do the same thing in plastic, aluminum, shit even steel sometimes if we want the bolt to fail first.
I was referring to Joseph Campbell.
Almost all of the Christian folklore surrounding Jesus can be directly tied to other myths that were common knowledge to Mediterranean people at the time.
There was a dude called Jesus, there were a lot of them. That one was Jewish and belonged to an evangelical cult was likely. But we can’t really say that because the Bible exists so too must have the Jesus described within.
What we have today was written by people hundreds of years after the fact. There was nothing written during these events, nothing at least that survived.
If you go looking for proof of Jesus, you’ll either come out disappointed, or delusional. Think of guys like Ken Ham.
Keep the faith, by all means. But part of believing is accepting that you don’t get to have proof.
You know, I almost forgot about the shitty attitudes and tribalism incumbent in the idiots that make dance fighting a big part of their personality. These guys, you included probably, love to preach about their enlightened state because they are just so devoted to dance fighting, and then do shit like you’re doing here. Do you really think trying to insult some random guy online because he dared to criticize the industry you’re a part of is really becoming of the type of person you advertise yourself to be?
Also. Just so you know, the scenario you fantasize about where you get to save the day with your dance fighting isn’t going to happen. At least not organically.
Believe me, we were squarely in the middle. There are a few decent schools, good lock finding them through the thousands of shitty ones
I’d been at it for about 10 years when they hired me, try again.
Fucking hell.
No they don’t.
These are things they try to sell you when you walk in the door. I’ve been a martial arts instructor. It was my first job. The only qualifications for martial arts instructor are a: kinda knows the dance moves good. End of list.
Some of these guys may embody what you’re talking about.
The vast majority are dude bros who think punching is fun, and their particular variety of punching is the best. They’re not mystic monks, gracefully handing down wisdom of the ancients. They’re wannabe tough guys who either bought the lie, or know full well and are willing to sell it to you. It’s no different than any sport, and they won’t actually teach you how to defend yourself. They’ll teach you dance moves and maybe a few of the people that learn them will be good at self defense too.
It’s a joke. It’s all a joke.
It’s a failure on a number of levels, failure to maintain a safe pool, AND failure to maintain a safe working environment.
And honestly the employee refusing to review security footage until the police showed up when a child was missing with the fuck?
I will not be fair, the publication isn’t. Why should I?
Their objective is to misinform you so that you do draw that comparison. Even if it’s not conscious, especially if it isn’t conscious. They want to bombard you with a thousand little points, each one drawing a line between unhinged, violent, destructive protest and fossil fuel reform. You’re no more likely to go buy an F150 as a result, but you are more likely to try to distance yourself from fossil fuel reform movements, and that’s all they need you to do to be successful.
Fuck them. They need no sympathy, no advocate. They need to be held accountable.
The deception is the point.
They want you to sympathize with some old fucking rocks more than you want fossil fuel reform.
Do you mean “award them more fat defense contacts??” Cuz that’s what we’re gonna do!
When the punishment is a fine, it’s only a crime for the poor.
The training is a mandatory 8 hour course, 4 of which are spent at the shooting range, an hour for lunch, 4 15 minute donut breaks, a 30 minute election class (optional) and two and a half hours of “networking.”
They’re insanely profitable.
Almost as if exploitation is necessary to succeed in today’s economy.
But the teenager working the frozen yogurt stand hasn’t washed their hands.
If it were actually AI I might have some faith.
This isn’t a neural net processor, not a learning computer. It’s a fucking mechanical Turk. A bad one.
What he’s talking about isn’t capable of deriving new ideas. It’s just going to spit out shit it’s seen already.
The library of Babel is just as likely to give us the answers he’s talking about. More likely maybe because it’s at least already written down.
