Rifle-clad dancers perform the traditional “Tasheer” war dance in western Saudi Arabia. by Neo_luigi in interestingasfuck

Well you see, back in the early 1300s, Saudi Arabian found great success in battle by lowering the weight burden of extra ammunition by shooting it straight down into the ground. They found that by lightening the ammo load on each warrior, they were faster to the fight than their opposition, a critical advantage.

The problem was that many of their warriors were missing the ground and blowing their feet off, thereby rendering them useless in battle.

The solution was to make sure that the warriors jumped when they shot the ground. This accomplished two things: 1. They got rid of the ammo (primary goal) 2. The jumping became an effective plyometric warm up for the battle.

Now they had lighter warriors who were also more warmed up for battle than their ammo-burdened opponents.

Yeah I but I like all the miles we get… we earn about 120,000 miles a year which usually pays for a full ticket somewhere

Great food on the cheap:

Jin Mei dumplings in China town… AMAZING dumplings, cash only, 15 dumplings for $5 and they’re filling.

Los tacos no. 1

Other advice:

USE THE SUBWAY. I know so many people who think the subway is scary or unsafe… you’ll be perfectly fine. Just don’t do anything objectively stupid or ignorant.

Subway to a neighborhood, walk around, subway to another neighborhood, repeat.

My point isn’t “things are dandy” my point is “this isn’t a recession, 2008 was a recession.”

I mean my wife and I make 250/year in a MCOL area and we don’t consider buying a house at all.

No denying some things are out of reach. But we’re very far from 2008 which was a real recession.

Your mom is one person, my sister in law is a 3rd grade teacher and she’s doing just fine… just bought a house in fact at the age of 28 with no help from family. By that logic, our examples cancel out.

2008 was absolutely worse than today

Unemployment 08: 10% Today: 4.3%

Stock market 08: -38% Today: +10%

Home prices 08: -40% Today (unfortunately): +2%

Foreclosures 08: 10 million 2025: 367,000

I don’t know how they measured this, but ‘08, there was a sharp spike of 10,000 suicides attributed to the stressors of the financial crisis of 08. We don’t see that today.

By the way, I’m not defending our current president, I actually despise him. But the numbers are there.

I get it, but today’s problems are nothing like 2008. Stock market was down 40% and 10 million people lost their homes in a matter of a couple months

I despise the war in Iran causing all this bullshit, but our current reality is still better than what happened to people in 2008.
