That was what we got when I was a kid. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon. 20 minutes or so.

Eh, I don’t remember the entire series well enough to say, but I’m pretty sure there was one instance where she kissed him, and it was, as someone else pointed out, one time and in some pretty extreme circumstances. The rest is just her being drunk off her ass and hating her life and what is going on, and the kid is living with her because she’s the most human and just responsible enough to take care of him. I think she teases him about being in a relationship with a girl his own age and that’s the closest to anything pedo between them otherwise.

Nah, unless you want to call muslims christians as well. Once you start modifying your deity, like christians did to the jewish god, or muslims did about jesus being only a prophet, you’re a new religion. I’d say the same for when you change the basics of how you are saved (so I’d say that catholics and protestants are wildly different, seeing as catholics need confession and last rites to be forgiven or go to purgatory). Mormons hold that jesus and satan are brothers, that you need to go proselytize for a certain period of time, that there are planets instead of heaven (I guess heavenly bodies if we want to play with wording, whatever), etc.

Contrast that with the difference between methodists and baptists, or presbyterians and lutherans, where basically it’s all window dressing. You might get some proscriptions, like no dancing or drinking for baptists, but fundamentally the beliefs don’t change.

I once was made to sit out from recess for… I don’t know, like 4 times, which means two days of no recess, for not bringing a pencil to the reading circle.

Some teachers are shit, and others only know punishment as a way to correct behavior and then try to apply it to shaping behavior.

There’s a part of me that knows, if the fbi or other goons draw up a search warrant (well, I guess subpoena since it’s bank record) for that transaction, we will be hearing about some poor folks getting harassed for ‘cursing’ kirk.

Learning is free. There’s a minimize button for a reason.

In all cases? No, of course not. In many cases? Oh, for sure, it’ll save you your life, and most of the time some really nasty scars on your head. It’s the same reasoning as at a construction site: It might not save you from a dropped pallet or an i-beam, but it’ll help with all the loose bolts, nuts, and tools.

If anyone doesn’t know the joke, a “widowmaker” is a branch from a tree, usually rotten, that can fall. Since they are out of the direct line of sight if you’re chopping, and the break/fall is mostly silent, they’re a big hazard to lumberjacks. When I worked in a rural area, some of my coworkers who were born and raised there would insist on hard hats if we had to walk through old woods while out doing our thing.

So what are those in the set? Are they chunks of styrofoam painted grey?

I think the things I would be irritated at are the candles, dining table, and bulbs. Candles are a fire hazard, and I wouldn’t trust randoms throwing an orgy to be responsible about them. The dining table (unless he picked the rental because of an already existing one) is insane. I’m not buying a piece of furniture that is giant and is a huge part of a room’s look for a whim. The bulbs are also just eye roll worthy, and a ton of work to make sure every one is changed and correct.

Everything else is just running around and prep, which, sure, I’d do for a large wage.

That’s a gorgeous spot with some really nice timing on the taking.

Buddy, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!

Wait, I would swear parts of utah do get cold enough to do it… oh wait, lol. Lakes!

I would have thought the same for oklahoma and kentucky as well.

Waived.

Sovereign immunity is one of those strange times when the ruling class straight up admits that they own you. It’s completely an obvious concept, and so strange that it’s literally just out in the open and they talk about it.

Booby traps would be better, but I suppose we can all understand how that would be bad.

Remind me who the owners… wait, don’t. Let’s just look at a picture of the owners of the nfl.

Then think about how ‘just’ their presentation goes. Compare the owner and the ‘peripheral’ employees. There’s a better picture that I can’t find that is often used in sociology classes, where the owner of a team is in the presence of the cheerleaders and the players, and it can’t be beat for showing that if you’re a rich man wanting slaves and concubines, owning a team is pretty much the next best thing.

The sports associations are fucked.

Do it! The tandem is an exhilarating experience. Even in all my other adrenaline and fun pursuing, nothing quite comes close. Once you do the license course and start jumping with one or two fellas holding you, it’s even better, and then when you’re truly jumping on your own, it’s like nothing else again! Eventually it will be less about adrenaline and more about excitement and peace. Yep, peace. Most of us will tell you that at the moment you jump, everything just sort of falls away. It’s partially the adrenaline, I’m sure, but you’re just focused on the moment and your plan and your friends nearby who are coordinating with you. Imagine the fun of a choreographed dance, but you’re falling through a beautiful blue sky, eh?

I’m sure that’s part of it. A big portion just goes to the mechanics of skydiving though, which is why the wing suits are ‘better.’

The most stable (and first taught) position is belly-to-earth. Head up, head down, and sit flying are more advanced and you don’t learn them until you’ve gotten comfortable flying with others on your belly. To sky surf, you’d already have to be decently advanced into the sport, and by then you’ve gotten quite proficient at moving around in the sky. The board doesn’t add much agility to your movements, in fact, you might fly better on your belly, so you’d have to be doing it just for the unique experience. Since it will be a more niche part of an already niche community, that means less competitors in events or buddies to jaw around with about it; there just isn’t as much reason to go into it. Wing suits will appeal to the same sense of wanting to ‘soar’ while adding a lot to the experience: much more movement horizontally, much longer fly times (2-3x as long between jump and pull), and a really large community to fall into.

I haven’t seen a board in the sky at my drop zone in at least two years, so it’s cool to see some art of it.

Even the bone farmer doesn’t touch the ‘luxury bones.’

Nice! Sky surfing is pretty rare these days compared to its heyday.
