Alone, she fights.
Most of these do apply to me (I eat food, I am legally prevented from touching the ground per Elysiume v. Earth 7355608§413, I haven't done a detox, etc.) but I'm intrigued as to the full suite of postures I'm missing out on. Is a Slav squat standing, because you're on two feet? Is it a unique posture? If I do some shadow work on unresolved emotions, can I unlock a few more postures?

I'm guessing the "feet touching the ground" thing is BAREFOOT GRASS HEALING rather than levitation, but I do appreciate that interpretation more.

He is a YA author. But I don't even know where the right line for developing your audience and relating to them is when you're an adult who's job is appealing to and writing about teenagers. Glad he's not a thief, or a sex pest, or drinking the blood of orphans or anything so that's probably as good as can be expected on this internet.

I'm pretty sure it's grounding, actually; the belief that humanity is making itself sicker by wearing shoes that prevent us from being electrically grounded in the earth, and that we'd all be healthier if we walked around barefoot in dirt more often (and paid some dipshit online hundreds of dollars for trinkets that somehow help this).

But wouldn't the sort of person that gets Nazi tattoos on their face be proud to explain that said tattoos are indeed his way of standing up for the white race? I mean why get a Nazi tattoo, and then tell people it is actually not a Nazi tattoo?

I am not arguing with you about Sky History's lack of research. Its just that I reckon that the people filming and in the research department aren't as online as goons/Nazis, so therefore don't understand the racist imagery, and accepted the more wholesome sounding explanation without question.

Necrothatcher posted:

Sky History in the UK have made a reality TV show about woodworking called The Chop and were promoting it on Twitter. They did a spotlight on one of their contestants:



Twitter immediately pointed out that the guy is covered in Nazi tattoos and has an 88 on his cheek. Sky told everyone to calm down, they'd already checked and he's definitely not a Nazi - the 88 is because his Dad died in 1988 and it's to remember him. Everyone laughed at them, told them it was bullshit and that the guy was obviously fash - pointing out the multiple other far right tats.

Today the guy's dad has popped up saying "I'm not dead!" and the entire show has been canned.

It doesn’t even matter if the claim is correct, because [specific economic niche] != [overall economic health]. Prostitution was going gangbangers during the Great Depression, but it would be difficult to prove the economy was doing well at that time. If there was suddenly an enormous demand for mimes, it wouldn’t necessarily mean all the other jobs weren’t in the shitter.

Edit: It also wouldn’t prove that employees weren’t being treated like poo poo.

I am forever disappointed that I will never be able to see "I love money" season 3, featuring the weasel from "Daisy of love," because one of the contestants ended up murdering someone right after filming ended, so they canned it

It's amazing that in 2020 they think a show can be aired with a dude with tattoos like that and nobody would notice. Hell the show didn't even air, a one minute trail did and the entire internet spotted it within seconds. Literally throwing money away, good job Sky.

I think your overestimating how many people know about the various dumb secret symbols fascists use.
This a low budget, small crew show. I can totally see it getting past people. It's just very funny that when pointed out they tried to claim they'd done a background check.

Still, did he lie about his dad being dead and nobody actually checked, or did Sky make that up to sound like they actually did any checking?

lmao a dude literally JUST did it even after all this was posted. It just keeps happening.

As an anecdote, my non-terminally online wife does design work at a large company and part of that was helping take and edit together some photos from a corporate retreat (this was about a year pre-COVID). While editing the photos she noticed a guy doing a hidden 'OK' symbol and mentioned it to me as concerning. I agreed (because I'm terminally online) and she brought it up to her boss, who took it to the vice president. None of them are terminally online, least of all the late 50's/early 60's vp and every single one of them was independently aware of the OK symbol as a 'covert' racist dogwhistle, and they scrubbed that dude's photo hard and there's been additional scrutiny from his boss on his interactions going forward.

The weirdos going 'oh nobody knows about 88 or the OK sign or whatever' only enable the Nazis to keep using these dogwhistles, and every time its pointed out that 'no, actually it's pretty common because people aren't always oblivious morons' you get someone kramering in here again to tell us to calm down because we're twitter poisoned or whatever.

I get the sentiment of wanting to give people the benefit of the doubt as much as possible, but I don't believe any reputable tattoo artist is going to just let you walk around with 88 on your face without first explaining to you what it means to the entire rest of the western world.
