Look at it this way, BMI is a cross section of weight and height. I was considered “overweight” for ages because I just had tree trunk thighs from hiking and weightlifting. Like, less than 16% body fat but told I’m ‘overweight’ every time I got weighed.
The ruler was fucking wrong.
Nowadays, I’m much more of a fat fuck so the ruler is right now but only just so… I’m still under 25% when using hydrostatic!
Would you claim the second an athlete leaves the field they’re no longer an athlete?
“Sports” cars are tuned towards their racing counterparts. Auto racing is a sport. We don’t know if that owner does autocross, probably not, but that is classified as a Sports Car regardless of anything else.
The whole road while taking a dash pic at 70mph.
You throwing babies away?
I heard that more commonly referring to Micro USB but, yeah, most people used to ask what phone you have, not what cable.
You liked the drunken bum half. It just gets more stupid when the other guy’s woman is a super hero too.
One person slows down everything or no one slows down at all or just NPCs slow down.
Why did you need that spelled out for you?
More that I wish cats would just climb down themselves, ya know?
Most people don’t know “what” anything is in that case. Cars? Most people don’t know what a clutch master cylinder is - they just know how to use the car. Most people don’t know what an app is, since they don’t understand the code language it was built in. Sure, they know how to use it but without knowing Java, it may as well be magic. Vaccines! No one knows what they are! There’s no simple explanation so everyone who’s ever used a vaccine has no idea what they are!
The average person does not have specialized knowledge about anything, even things ubiquitous to modern life.
Yeah, Trump is technically right here but at the end of the day, I don’t really care if a firefighter knows exactly how every app on their phone works, just as long as they know how to put out fires and maybe rescue cats from trees.
Anime woman looks more mad though. Like I wouldn’t want to turn my back on her after the picture. Real person looks on the verge of tears. Less like she’s going to kill me, therefore less attractive.
I feel like I wouldn’t talk about that with my cousins, so kudos for the openness.
Didn’t have precision munitions back then. Didn’t have drones that can monitor the battlefield from across the globe and provide real-time video feeds.
Besides, in this case, Israel is playing Germany’s role.
Someone has never seen Snatch, have they?
I like to dress up. Reminds me to be a portion of myself. I’m not me, I’m work me.
I hate to dress up. The same me who’s trusted with people’s lives is the same me who sits around in shorts and flip flops. Why lie to everyone I meet?
I like to dress up. It’s a socially acceptable mask to wear.
The ludicrousness is the point. “Capture a creature in a ball”… How close is that to Red Dead’s lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I’m certain it was someone’s “technique” while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.
Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said “I see you’re using my method to build a house! Pay up!”
Well, you can’t patent something like that!
Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says “You’re using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!” and that one is a unique mechanic?
How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it’s a digital arrow?
I dunno if I could manage to spend $30 just to be reminded of something that’ll be forgotten by December…
Are you sure you’re not a Sony Psyop to get us all to buy Concord merch to help recoup the loss?
This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.
Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they’re gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it’s particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what’s up.
I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says “Can we at least downgrade our gear?” You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said “Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?”
I shouted down “I can cover you but that won’t stop any rounds that come your way,” and the SOG just said “What? No, fuck, are you kidding?”
Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.
I mean, I believe in you. You technically CAN do something about that. It will probably break in the process though.
