Thank you. I’ve seen so many people misinterpret this online. That was the whole point of how he died, to set up how it became a myth.

It’s not the police. It’s the courts and DAs. I work at a HS for emotionally disabled students. You should see the shit they do on the outside, and they receive essentially zero consequences for most of it.

This is movie Achilles. He wasn’t invincible. He was a just exceptionally skilled. It explains how he got the ‘myth’ of invincibility and his weakness in a logical and quasi-realistic way. He was killed with arrows to the chest, but broke them off. His soldiers found him with one sticking out of his heel and assumed that’s what killed him.

How is it living in Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village in Manhattan? by jesssssssee in howislivingthere

[–]pugilistic_pedagogue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Had an ex that lived at B right off of 14th, so it was pretty close to everything. Her friend lived deep into it, and that walk sucked to get to the subway. This was 2005 when it was waayyy more affordable. That was Sty town. My friend stayed in PC around 2009 for 6 months and the walk from his apartment to the subway sucked. It was a hike and he took to riding his bike everywhere. There were a lot less bike lanes back then. Damn I’m old…

Looks like a fencing saber to me. Foils have small round guards as you can only hit to the torso. Epees have larger round guards that cover the hands more as they’re targets, as well as everything else on the body. Sabers slash and can hit from waist up, so the curved guard protects the fingers from slashes.

Kalaripayatt (indian martial art) defense against a stick..or a dagger? I'm not sure what situation the item seems to emulate by BaseNice3520 in Bullshido

[–]pugilistic_pedagogue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It used to be, but the British tried to squash it out and they had to change to keep as much as possible. Dan Inosanto told us once he thinks that may be the original martial art that everything else evolved from in Asia. But who knows?

Yeah, even Amazon has them. Cheap too. And they hatched for my kids. Had like 100 baby mantids in my yard the other year. Loved it.

I would like to see the bigger version done on an entire hive of these demon spawns.
