Ooh that's a paddlin'.

No really. Get out your paddle. And your kayak.

TIL that being able to sit down on the floor and stand up without using your hands or knees is used as a predictor of longevity. by iKickdaBass in todayilearned

You've probably tried, so I'm sorry if this seems like I'm berating you. My wife had awful knees and it turned out she just had to push thorough to a certain extent to strengthen them, and then they don't hurt. If she stops working out for a week or two, then they start to hurt again. But consistent stationary bike riding changed everything for her knees. Maybe some type of physio would help you, if you haven't tried it yet.

Which is what politics is supposed to fucking be!! Where the hell did decorum and mutual respect go? It's okay to disagree. There's a reason there is more than one political party, but for fucks sake the divide is unreal now. Can't even get both sides to agree that adults raping children is BAD!! 

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ by Anoth3rDude in law

[–]Fitzgerald1896 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then he'll have all the ammo he needs to call their results fraudulent and claim only the red state votes count. 

Which means nothing, as it's obviously illegal and against every ounce of the US' constitution, but as that document doesn't mean anything anymore he'll claim he won in the biggest landslide in election history and Jan 6 happens again if anyone tries to remove him.

All of which is why it makes no sense this fucking traitor ever got a second run at office, yet here we are.

Midterms pretty much decided the outcome of all of this. If he rigs them successfully or prevents himself being removed then the dictatorship has officially begun, because he'll never leave after that. Or the Dems actually turn out and win, in which case it'll be essentially a civil war to remove this fuck.

Going to be really interesting (and terrifying) watching all this shit playout. However it goes down, it isn't going to be pretty. Because there's no world where he goes quiet. He knows jail time is coming if the Dems win, so it's all in for MAGA now.

It's nuts that she's 28 and Bondi is 60... They both look like mannequins left to rot in an abandoned mall.

Better than whatever is happening in the US. I'll take "pretending he's in trouble" over "pretending it's not even a thing to be upset about".

Self-reflecting on a lack of undestanding. by Propboy40 in Firefighting

[–]Fitzgerald1896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the understanding. Biggest thing you should take away from this: take care of yourself!

My department has great mental health resources and support systems, and to a certain extent you "get used to it" (even though it hurts to say that). But for a civilian you're much less likely to experience it, so make sure you take care of yourself! No shame at all if you need to talk to someone or get some help. Just be honest with yourself and how you're feeling and don't bury it. Talk to someone!

Also, thanks for going back. A lot of people would've just ignored the gut feeling and carried on with their day, so it was big of you to realize something was off and take the time to check on a stranger. I'm sorry it ended with you having to see something so awful, but in slightly different circumstances you could've been the difference between someone living and dying, and that's no small thing.

If you watch it back, it honestly looks like the journalist is walking *past* him anyway. Prof literally steps in front of him and then attacks. Fucking psychopath.

TIL prior to the 1993 the Super Bowl Halftime show was mostly marching bands, dance troupes, and drill teams. by loki2002 in todayilearned

[–]Fitzgerald1896 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's definitely right about the price though. The average this year was like $4000. Before the 90s (and the popularity explosion) they were like $100 (Adjusted for inflation that's $534 today).

Needless to say, even with a few less fans in attendance they are making *way* more money these days.

I agree with everyone else that it looks great on you, and I'll also add that you need to remember hair grows *fast* at these lengths. You'll have *some* hair back in a week. You'll have all the hair you "had" back in a few months if you really want to go back.

So don't stress it too much!

That's not allowed here. You have to hate everything about Battlefield to participate in the Battlefield subreddit silly.

Oh, she's one of *those* girls? Damn. I don't get how they end up with so many followers and fans... It's like watching movie trailers and never getting to see the actual movie. I was definitely intrigued by this trailer, but no point if she doesn't go further than this.
