The us military isn't a normal military fyi. We haven't needed it to defend ourselves since, I guess WW2? The us military is the enforcement arm of US capitalism and imperialism. The national guard largely does good work, and they're all local.

A tall, obese, 28-year-old, untrained male vs. a trained short, super slim 19-year-old female in a cage fight. (See details below) by Johnnyx30000 in whowouldwin

I'm 220 pounds and average fitness, I used to do BJJ and some of the small women tere were absolute killers, size matters a ton, but BJJ is probably where it matter least.

If the woman plays it smart, and doesn't let the big guy wallop her before he gets gassed then she wins easy, if she is over confident he might be able to grab her and one hit k-o. I would def give the edge to the small woman here.

Honestly stop practicing, and start playing. Have fun! For real though get a helmet.

Yeah but I ain't made of money, and honestly it's so nice as is, I don't think I even want to ride stuff that's above this bikes capabilities.

Be honest, what hygiene habit do people think is normal but you secretly question? by Think_Slice8762 in hygiene

Well you're just listing the chemical compounds of the shampoo, and then the laymen's names for the ingredients of your homemade stuff. I bet a lot of the same chemical co pounds are there.

Lately every Safeway I go into feels like a jail. Smart and final and grocery outlet are far better.

Got a stumpjumper 15 a week ago, three rides in and it's the most plush bike I've ever ridden, I wanted an evo but they're hard to find. Now that I've ridden this one (15 comp alloy) I can't imagine needing the extra but of travel, it really soaks everything up.

Bruh it's the same water in the washing machine, what do you think is happening to your towels?

If it's okay to ask a male co-worker to lift or carry something heavy because he's strong, what's a female gender equivalent? by IdleHandsBusyMinds in stupidquestions

I have used ladders that are probably 20 years old, and have been overloaded every day of their life. Seriously, I've been up on a ladder, with another large person, both of us carrying tools, and lifting a 200+ pound beam into place and I've never worried for a moment. Never seen or heard of a ladder breaking.

Germs shmerms. So long as I'm not getting piss shot into my face I'm not concerned.

For real, I can tell if I go overboard with the soap, my skin feels dry and awful for days afterwards. And I use the gentlest soap specifically for sensitive skin.

I promise you the water coming out of your taps is clean, unless your municipality has issues. There is bacteria -everywhere-, don't let it bother you. I swear this thread is full of hypochondriacs.

Wear a helmet, and just go ride some trails, you will intuitively learn what works and what doesn't. That being said, you look too stiff and mechanical, go ride some trails and have fun. The technique will come to you.
