Y'all need music to hype yourself for a hard workout
I need music to hype myself for a shower after a hard workout
We are not the same

They really are held to a different standard.
Submitted by @themagpieshavecome
Greatest crime Israel has committed is not laying down and letting itself be destroyed, the surrounding countries were for the most part going to hate then anyhow
But then we have the privileged westerners who want to maintain their feelings of superiority by making sure that those beneath them always stay beneath them.
If they succeed and start doing well on their own to the point where they become a partner instead of a charity case they might actually need to interact with them on some kind of large scale and that's just icky.
Millions of people came out to march with blm, but how many of them went in after the marches were over and the cameras were off to help make those communities better places and how many just used their participation in those marches to tick off a box on progressive bingo then went back to whatever they were doing before.

Reminder to all my fellow Americans and my Canadian homies that the northern lights will be visible tonight across most of the continent. If you're in the green zone go outside tonight

Hello, I wanted to ask a question about head trauma. I know from reading your blog that knocking someone out by blunt force is bad for keeping their brain intact, but could someone who was backhanded and fell down (possibly hitting their head against a desk or the floor on the way) be stunned for at least a minute without losing consciousness and would this be a safer way of removing them from the scene temporarily? Thank you!
Yeah, that can kill someone.
There is no such thing as a safe head wound. Or at least, not one inflicted with blunt force trauma.
The brain is not the most durable organ, and when you start bashing it into things, things can go wrong with shocking speed.
There is a rational idea here, which is that if you go after someone's brain with physical force, then that's going to stop their brain from working. The problem is that basically any means which get you to this point will have a similarly high chance of doing so permanently.
Traumatic head injuries are an extremely common cause of death. I don't have the statistics in front of me, but in some age groups it is the most common way for someone to die.
As for, “being stunned,” not, really. You might be able to disorient them for a few moments, but if they're having cognitive difficulties for that long, they're probably concussed, and it's not going to end after sixty seconds. That's going to stick with them for awhile, if it doesn't kill them.
So, no, going after the head is a really good way to kill a character. It's not always going to be lethal, but if a character's been incapacitated to the point that they're unable to participate in the conversation, that's still on the extremely fine threshold between relatively unharmed and dead.

I use wired Bluetooth. They're wired together but they're not headphone jack. Because I am irresponsible and cannot be trusted not to lose one

Hey, so, here's a thing I noticed...
I'm re-watching Leverage right now, and a fun bit I noticed this time around that I hadn't spotted before is how Eliot will come out with some random-ass knowledge that saves a situation or answers a question and the crew is all "How do you know that" and he'll answer "Oh I dated a NASA engineer" or whatever. It's played a bit for laughs, but -
Since Eliot is heterosexual, it's showcasing that women have valuable knowledge and expertise in a wide variety of areas,
Eliot actually listens and talks to the women he's dating, to the point where he's learning and understanding what they're talking about,
And, Eliot respects women and their knowledge and always looks a bit miffed when the crew laughs at him for knowing things because he dated someone once.
It's a little thing, but this show is constantly surprising me with the amount of thought that got put into it.

I think I've realized that when people say "America has no culture," what they mean is "America various cultures have not been deemed as being as publicly acceptable for display; instead it's crass and crude and as such, we are going to either pretend it doesn't exist or mock it for being stupid without trying to understand why Americans do that."
