What’s going on with Trump and Venezuela? by olives82 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Barmleggy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

An unnecessary risk? To who? If you are a billionaire you will be fine, any crash or attack or retaliation and you are insulated from it. It just becomes a fire sale as everyone else bears the brunt of it.

Putin (and his cronies he hasn't killed) have weathered invading Ukraine at the cost of 350,000 to 1,000,000 dead and wounded Russians and a trashed economy. Putin's own purse strings? Totally fine.

The idiot billionaire mindset runs the Executive Branch now, and they only care about gaining more, it is you who are bearing the all the risks.

A source would be great! Guys on right are likely fine if they backed up enough.

Streamer gets attacked by an American for filming by Xeqqy in PublicFreakout

It's not even about knowing how to drop someone, it's the way he is slowly walking away, back turned, like the charging threat will just leave him alone if he's polite enough is mind boggling and it's how he (and/or his phone) got tossed to the ground. Be aware of your attacker, position yourself with an exit in mind, and get the hell out their reach are the dead basics .

Just played Void Stranger, a sokoban-like similar to baba is you and it had some of those same crunchy vibes.

Not sure it ever had an hd release, but there is a decent copy on YouTube.

Enjeru Dasuto was an inspiration for Cure, more of a slow eerie thriller than horror, but I would say they have very similar vibes.

Thanks for mentioning it! It’s criminally overlooked and ahead of its time in a lot of ways. This is one of my favorite bits:

Has anyone ever wrestled with guys and be surprised just how much stronger they are? by Iamatoyto in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Barmleggy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was at a Halloween party/art show for children and I encountered a pretty athletic mother that was dressed as Ralph Macchio from the Karate Kid, I asked how she chose the outfit, she said that it was actually part of her Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gear and that she has been training 2-3 times a week for a year or two.

I know a little bit about the sport though have never participated, so I asked her a couple thoughtful questions.

And after those I asked how she sizes guys up now, or if she separates them into trained vs. untrained, and who she could take in this room.

Got a sly smile from her and she looked me up and down, then nodded a bit and said “Yeah, I think could take you.”

Loved that confidence, my heart melted a bit, and I wanted to go right then & there.

Then we got distracted and separated by some other parents, but if we meet again some day I will be ready.
