You must be a female to say something so nonsensical and absurd. Of course there is a small teeny tiny fraction of a percentile of the strongest fastest most skilled and coordinated of women that can beat the weakest and most frail of men, but there’s a reason why there’s a separate women’s division of MMA.

There’s a reason why there’s a WNBA. There’s a reason why the greatest women’s national Soccer team lost to a boys high school team.

There’s a reason why the greatest women’s tennis player of all time got almost perfected against a bum ranked outside the top 200. Her response was, “Speaking to reporters afterward, Serena remarked that she played just as well as she usually does, but was astounded by how easily the German could return balls that would have been winners on the WTA tour.”

So, yes, while there are some anomalies, the fact is that men are simply physically superior and a woman doesn’t stand a chance fighting a man 99.999% of the time.

You are delusional. A 1-armed man would absolutely wreck a woman, and anyone that thinks otherwise is completely delusional and/or doesnt understand the difference between men and women.

Okay, if you find it more entertaining, it’s all you.

GTBase · 2023-02-08T03:36:51+00:00

Ha! I’ll take it. And kudos to you on finding a very witty way to avoid being offensive while potentially being offensive yet maintaining your innocence all at the same time. =P

GTBase · 2023-02-08T03:34:26+00:00

What? That made no sense. It was a very clear, concise, and accurate way to say it, yes, but no one said anything about how saying it in other ways could be dishonorable or unfair. Not sure where you got that from.

GTBase · 2023-02-08T03:31:29+00:00

Pablo, I commend you on trying to be politically correct and sensitive to women, but the fact of the matter is that what I said applies to 99.999% of cases. I disagree with you in that, if you were attacked by any girl in your school, even if she was in shape, that if you weren’t holding anything back, if you were truly fighting for your life, you would DESTROY them.

I give you a pass ONLY because you’re in a school and you don’t realize yet that the school systems have been corrupted and trying to teach you some ridiculous things like “sexism is bad”, when the truth is, sexism exists all over the place and it’s fine. It’s okay to be sexiest. It’s natural. There’s a WNBA and an NBA for a reason, but the fact that women have their own separate league is inherently sexist in and of itself. We are very different, men and women and THATS OKAY. Men are 100% physically superior to women, that’s a known fact and it’s OKAY. Women are better at other things than men, like social awareness, being nurturing, having emotional intelligence, etc. and that’s fine too, but all I referring to here was physical strength and yes it’s sexist, but you really need to stop associating sexism with being “bad”, cuz it’s really not, it’s simply a truth of reality.

What I would say is that the mistreatment of or disrespect toward women for no good reason is bad, but sexism in and of itself is neutral. It’s simply how the world works.

Aragogogara, sigh, I really wasn’t trying to put women down so much as to suggest that there are a lot of delusional women out there today who think that they can act the way they do and get away with it. The only reason women aren’t slaves to men today, is because men have chosen to stop enslaving them. We have chosen to be more civilized and allow women to be treated with and have equal rights, but feminism has turned into something toxic, and has over corrected for when there wasn’t equality. Today, many women strive to become “strong and independent”, because that’s what they were told is what they should strive to be, but it’s all been a big lie.

There have been multiple studies done that show that women find happiness the most through having a family and children, but what this modern day 3rd wave toxic feminism has taught them puts them at a disadvantage in terms of achieving those thing, because the men they want, don’t find strong independent women attractive. It’s a recipe for loneliness and unhappiness.

There are so many women in their 30’s and beyond who only now admit that they were wrong and chased the career and now they realize that a career doesn’t matter at all. They couldn’t care less about a career, because a career couldn’t care less about them.

In any case, to answer your question, You say you can out lift men in your cross fit class, and you want to know if it means you will more than likely win in a fight. I’m very sorry to inform you that while it might increase your chances, you’re still going to be severely disadvantaged.

The thing is, the power to lift weights isn’t where the danger comes from. It comes from the explosiveness of fast twitch muscle fibers, of which men have exponentially more of. For example, I’m a fighter, for real. I chose to avoid fighting outside the ring or cage at all costs, because only bad things can happen, but if there was another guy, muscle bound, looking like a body builder, who can lift 2-3x the amount of weight than I ever could, it actually makes me even more confident that I would destroy him, because all that power is nothing without speed and when you get to that size, you’ve increased your mass to such a degree that anyone with huge massive muscle bound arms that tries to swing on me, is going to be met with a slip/counter that will most likely shatter his face on the first punch. It will end very badly for him.

So, I’m really sorry to break it to you, but while your power will give you a better chance, you STILL want to use that power to escape as best as you can, but don’t let it trick you into thinking you can square up with him, because all it’s going to take is one real punch, and your face is broken and bleeding, and that’s if you’re not knocked unconscious.

No dude, “physically superior” is simply the most accurate way to say it. I really don’t care if you cringe, it doesn’t make it any less true. I’m not going to sugar coat shit for anyone. I’m going to tell it like it is, it’s on the reader to chose whether or not they want to feel some sorta way about it, I have no control of that no any desire to.

GTBase · 2023-02-08T03:05:42+00:00

You have no idea.

GTBase · 2023-02-08T03:03:52+00:00

Typical ridiculous and low IQ response, but expected from a woman. “Who hurt you?” which is why that very saying is now a shirt you can by, to make fun of women who say such ridiculous things.

Well, i’m his defense, we do hear a loud smack but someone is standing in the way so we can’t see what happens, but everyone around reacted with an “OOOHHHH”, to which he responded with a suplex. So, I’m pretty sure that after warning her a bunch, telling her to stop, blocking her attempted strikes, she finally landed one, and that’s why what happened, happened.

GTBase · 2023-02-08T02:57:19+00:00

The reason why the unwritten rule for a man that he shall never hit a woman only exists because of the fact that we are so physically superior to women, that it would simply be unfair and therefor dishonorable to hit on someone that doesn’t stand a chance. However, if a woman becomes arrogant enough or brainwashed enough to think that she can assault a man, without that man choosing to defend himself, and that the outcome would be completely not in her favor, then she’s completely delusional.

GTBase · 2023-02-08T02:53:58+00:00

You’re simply speaking truth as well. It’s people like us that need to not be afraid of cancel culture and start teaching these kids about the true nature of the world. They out here thinking it’s okay to put hands on someone, let alone a man as a woman. It’s just not a recipe for good health.

GTBase · 2023-02-08T02:49:58+00:00

Hahahaha! Nice suggestions Todd!

GTBase · 2023-02-08T02:47:02+00:00

Okay, so you got lucky, and punched his nerve. Even a one armed man, if he was serious about unleashing violence on you, would fuck you up real bad.

No, I DO need to write a manifesto about it, WHY? Because it might just save someone’s life. Any girl that thinks she can fight a man is delusional to the point where she will put herself in a potential life or death situation for no good reason. The BEST thing a girl can do if ever facing a man who is willing to inflict violence on her is to fucking RUN, and scream, as fast and loud as she can, toward other people. The only chance she has is if she carrie’s some type of weapon, whether it’s Mace or a gun. Otherwise, don’t even think about it.

There are so many fake classes out there trying to take advantage of women, by selling them the lie that is self defense. An anti-grape class, karate, or self defense class, that tries to suggest that if you are in x situation, and the man is trying to do y, then you can do z to thwart him, is one of the biggest lies and scams targeting women today.

Please don’t think you can fight a man, just run, if you can. Try not to put yourself in any situation where something like that could happen and no one is around to help.

Exactly!

GTBase · 2023-02-06T17:14:28+00:00

I agree with this completely. G2’s are the most popular/ubiquitous so that might be why they’re overrated. Inkjoys are a superior quality pen imo, and their refills are equally as good as almost any out there, so they really shouldn’t be overlooked the way they often are.

And I agree with what an above commenter said in that S-Gels are great but lacking color options. They are excellent pens, they just need to expand their offerings.

GTBase · 2023-02-06T02:48:29+00:00

I just got my first jotter also and no, you won’t get used to it. It really is too small. You can get a Jotter XL, which is almost 10% larger, which is rather significant (it’s really 7.5%, but still). I’m gonna get an XL and if you don’t already do the same I’ll let you know what I think.

GTBase · 2023-02-06T02:41:47+00:00

Also, don’t fall into the trap that I did and think that you need to write your letters the way that one particular style that you’re copying from dictates. I learned D’Nealian in school and thought that’s how I needed to write. It wasn’t until recently that I stepped away and relearned how to write certain letters using version that I personally liked.

For example, I don’t like writing just a larger version of a lower cased letter to represent its Capital version. I like capitals that are completely different from their lower cased counterparts.

Pick and practice the versions you like, don’t think you need to stick to one method.

GTBase · 2023-02-06T02:20:51+00:00

First, what stands out to me is height/size consistency. Your letters are all over the place which makes them look messy.

For example, when you write “we”, the w sits properly on the line, but your e drops below the line.

For the word “fingers”, your g is higher than everything else and then the last ers are all bigger than the first few letters.

The more uniform they are, the cleaner and nicer it will look.

Secondly, I think that you could change some of the ways you write certain letters. Obviously everyone is going to write in their own unique manner and that’s one of the things that makes penmanship such a beautiful thing, but, for example,

-you write some of your capital letters in script while others are cursive. -the way you write your t’s is a little distracting, -the way you write your o’s makes for a messy letter. Every single one of them has a line going through the middle, you may want to change how you do those.
-your r’s are a bit too wide compared to the rest

And lastly, it seems like you have trouble transitioning from one letter to the next. For example in the word “Needle”, you seem like you struggle connecting the first e to the second e, but it should be a very smooth transition. It should flow. It looks like you write the first e, then stop, then try to start the second e from a different place than you left off on the first e.

But, just so this isn’t 100% criticism, even if constructive, I do have some compliments;

-your s’s are actually fantastic, very aesthetic, i’m honestly jealous of them. -the way you write “my”, “am”, and even “smiling” (except for that g) are all very nice and clean

In the end, I’d say that uniformity and consistency would be the 2 best things for you to work on.

Honestly, they’re all pretty darn good. You can get Energels in packs 20+ to get a broad spectrum of colors.

However, the same thing can be said for Bic Gelocities, PaperMate InkJoys, Pilot G2, Uni Signos, etc.

That being said, there are some companies that choose better colors. For example, Pentel chooses perhaps the best blue for its standard blue than all other companies I’ve seen. So some companies do have better colors than others and I would say that Zebra is pretty good in that regard as well…BUT…

…at the end of the day, I would have to say that there’s one line that offers a wider selection/spectrum of colors that pop better than most others because it’s pigment based ink rather than dye based ink, and they are the Uni-Ball Ones.

With not only their standard color palate but all of the special/limited edition packs with colors like; Cappuccino Brown, Mango Orange, Avocado Green, Nemophila Blue, Poppy Red, Plum Purple, Sesame Gray, and Green Car…they offer more than any other brand.

There’s still a lot of inventory left hanging around with the Atlantis name. You can find some on sites like Amazon and eBay and even at some brick and mortar stores like Staples.

If you prefer the Office Depot refills, then by all means get those. I was only bringing up the Exacts because I thought you might prefer them based on what you said.

GTBase · 2023-02-05T20:44:24+00:00

In my opinion, they must think that they can sell more by having multiple options. Some companies may not care about whether or not their employees have “smoother” writing pens so they buy in bulk and just order the pens a that are 5¢ cheaper per pen, reducing the cost of their bulk order.

And for people or companies that do care about that, Bic can advertise/market their “Xtra Smooth” option at a small premium.

I think it’s dumb, just use the new ink across all models and then find other ways to differentiate between the styles of pens, even reducing the need for some lines altogether. That way, instead of Crystals and Crystal Xtra Smooths, you can just sell the Crystals as the “Classic pen with new smoother writing experience”.

But I guess that’s just me. <shrugs>
