Is it just me, or does this particular type of schadenfreude only seem to affect affluent white people? I don't think I've ever seen a ramp video with either minorities or underprivileged (I'm sure they exist, but seem to be heavily underrepresented).

affluent white people have the money to buy bikes and skateboards and health insurance to fix broken bones. kids are stupid regardless of any race but rich white kids get extra chances to do stupid poo poo like this.

After understandably getting fired up at the OT winner, the announcer continues yelling, "CAPS WIN! THE DEMONS ARE EXORCISED! THE CAPS MOVE ON!" Ok, goober. Ovetchkin got out of the second round for the first time ever. Fuckin guy hasn't even sniffed The Cup in ten years.

No matter what mannerisms I [Mick Foley] “borrowed,” I knew that I would never throw a punch like Terry’s, which was truly a thing of beauty. Many people, including me, considered the Funker’s big left hand to be the nicest punch in the business. A few minutes into the big match, Terry took me into the corner, and I saw him rear back with the big left. This was going to be great. Here it comes. Thwack. I felt like I did when I was eight and my mother came clean about Santa Claus. I had just learned the hidden “secret” of the great Funk left hand. It was so simple – I’d been a fool for not knowing the whole time. Terry Funk had just punched me as hard as he could in the forehead.

“No wonder that punch looks so good,” I later whined to Terry. “You hit me as hard as you could.”

“Oh, Cactus Jack,” Terry mumbled and laughed in his kindly old Uncle Terry way, which made it impossible to be angry with him, “all this time, you thought that I was just really good.”


Mick Foley's first book is a great read even if you have never watched a single wrestling match in your life.

Are Odinists an actual thing now, and does Odin really give a poo poo about gay people or mixed relationships?

A bunch of racists in the US latched onto it because the Nazis also liked to use Norse iconography, particularly the Tyr rune. "Odinists" are often racists here in the US. Conversely, people who label themselves as Asatru are people who worship the old norse gods and tend to be the same as the rest of neo pagans in that they are chill people who choose to go all in on an old religion. Neo pagans can be silly but its harmless and if it helps them be better people who cares, wear silly outfits and worship Freya or Epona

Not that ambien causes racism, but hooooooly poo poo does it gently caress you up if you stay awake on it and mix it with alchol. It's more extreme than LSD in my experience although obviously not as long lasting.

yeah that is a terrible idea. one time i had one (1) beer after taking an ambien and i literally fell over in my apt like 5 times and it was immensely entertaining to do. I used to work nights and had a scrip for the controlled release ambien that i would use sparingly when I was really struggling to get sleep. it worked better than anything else and i would wake up feeling fantastic the next day

Stars Wars needs a clean break with some new characters in new situations. You can't have a universe and yet have every story revolve around the same dozen names.

Imagine if we got a movie about Leia's princess hijinks on her yet to be-blown-up home planet, or the story of Luke dicking around on the family moisture farm. These characters are tapped out. I want a movie about stormtroopers who turn to bounty hunting after the Empire falls, and they marvel on how easier it is to aim without those helmets on.

They had this with the new movies further in the timeline. You could have explored that setting to hive flavor to the new movies. Tell the story of some bounty hunter in imperial space to show what that is like now, or do an actual rogue squadron story that is just about space pilots blowing poo poo up.

Instead they are looking back instead of forward.

Why do people take off their shirts to fight? Is it to protect their clothing from getting ripped? I can never figure it out, or it's just one of those things they saw in a movie so think it's how they should act, like people falling down the moment they're shot?

You can grab clothing. Ever seen one of those old hockey fights where the dude grabs the others guys jersey and pulled it over their head?

Taking off your shirt is a cargo-cult "People do this before a fight, right?" thing.

Taking off your shorts is either for mobility or as a power move. Either way, you're already thinking properly about the fight.

Nominally it to get rid of poo poo that can be grabbed. Shirtless is often the drunker of the two fighters so they lose, but sometimes it's a veteran idiot and they win badly.

Its not literal, its a comment on how with the internet, people can rise to fame and be torn down the very next day when someone goes through their twitter history.

If a suspect is attempting to flee from custody or is resisting arrest, and allowing the escape of the suspect would create an immediate threat to public safety, deadly force can be used to effect the arrest. That means anything from using a firearm to striking the suspect with a car. This sort of thing can be avoided by not resisting arrest, and challenging the charges in court, which is the proper venue to do so.

Yeah, they are designed specifically to keep you safe if that exact scenario happens since accidents like that happen. The cage will keep you alive and the most important thing if you go off a dock is keeping all your limbs inside the cage

This is amazing work. As a student of history I can say that I’ve read about hundreds of battles like this, and have shown little to no emotion. The accounts were just windows to a past I’ve never lived in, people who I never knew or would ever know. But this Skyrim reference made me stop and evaluate. Putting it in made me actually look at what is really happening. Putting something that everyone is familiar with in a situation that no one knows, and to make people feel those emotions well, that takes amazing talent. Thank you.

Reminder that Hugo Boss was a Nazi and that's why their uniforms were so well designed.

They were well designed because that part of fascism. It was all about looking amazing on parade so poo poo was very form fitting and sized to the individual. Turned out to be hell to make once the war really got going though since you could have situations where you literally could not find a shirt if you were a bigger guy.

The best example of Nazi idiocy was the helmets. Their goddamn helmets had multiple sizes and you had to have the proper fitting one for your head. On top of that they took something like 14 hits to stamp the shape from the steel blank, compared to like 2-3 for an American or British helmet. They also had special sewn in liners and poo poo (slave labor). So mid war you have a way too complicated to make helmet that cannot even be just shipped en masse, you have to get proper sized ones for each soldier.

And they were not any more protective than a US one, in fact less so.
