Only you can do whatever you are going to do.

Justice shumushtice. We all punish ourselves in one way or another.

With age comes wisdom.

We are all created to break.

Passion can cancel lazy if lazy is a problem. Sometimes you need to be lazy in order to operate a Pawleys Island hammock.

It takes practice and confidence to harness and transform the raw energy that anger brings. Anger in the right hands can be a gift. Anger does have a purpose. Everything has a purpose. If you don't know what the purpose is then you can create a purpose for it.

You don't need to be social. You can be part of a crowd all by yourself. You're right about the marches. I'm with you on that one.

Saying you've got a right to hate is misleading. Hate will slowly destroy you and others if you mishandle it.

You can't get rid of hate. You can only transform it if you choose to.

EDIT:

Don't be looking for those that are on the fence. Those that fall (break) will be looking for you.

What am I going to do? Honestly, probably little besides offering moral support and trying to convince those on the fence or in areas under siege which side the scales of justice SHOULD tilt towards.

I'm old, broken, lazy, quick to anger, I live in the boondocks, and I'm pretty anti social and hate crowds. Marches are not where I belong.

That's my hate, I've grown it from seed. Why do I have to get rid of it? ;-)
In the words of Petrus T Steel, "this is the United States of America, and you've got a right to hate who you want, so let's start busting heads!" ;-)

Water Slide like a Boss

newtboy says...

I saw him interviewed and he works at the park. He said most lifeguards that work there can do this, but it takes practice to get it down.

Payback said:

Actually, he's keeping his legs in a "boat" shape. While I'm not 100% saying it's real, normally people get to the end and "spread out" and sink. The physics are definitely probable.

I'm fairly certain he is using both at once, which is not a difficult feat. You're already doing that and much more while playing games. I don't see how inputing language and numbers via a 2 analog input system is "insane". From someone who has tested input peripherals, it's just different, like so many systems already out there. You should watch me with a rubik's cube. Peripheral testers use cubes (among other analog devices) to warm up.

It's actually really cool to see this concept in the mainstream, though I'd imagine you may need to practice common positioning. For example, t, h, followed by a vowel will be a pattern that becomes muscle memory, just as w, e, and then r, etc. They're simple algorithms that you don't even realize you're following, but simple take practice.

You know what else is insane? Playing a drum kit using all 4 limbs independently. That's insane! Speed Metal is insane! Me playing Dance Dance Revolution on Challenge is INSANE! Alllllllll of these simple things which are "insane". LOL!!!

zaust said:

Love the concept - don'tt believe the simplicity. The bit where he types is just insane - like he is using both analog inputs at once to aim separately.

Plus maybe it's the lighting but the "thumbnail" hands look so photo shopped it's unreal (or should I say source).

The "Throw Like a Girl" Myth | MythBusters

vil says...

How is this a myth? What is the supposed content of this myth? And the video? Some people throw like girls, then throw even more like girls with their other hand. Then this lady comes up who can throw and is commended for throwing like a man. What?

If you are a man and someone says you throw or run like a girl everyone understands what that means. It means they want to find out if you also fight like a girl.

If you are a girl and you do something like a girl - that doesnt actually merit conversation. Or insult. Ambiguity overload. Could mean anything.

Throwing with your left hand. That has more to do with your favored hand and favored eye than practice and technique. My younger son is right handed but has a dominant left eye. He can hit a target equally well with either hand, same "form". He can probably throw a bit farther with his right hand but not by much. Not so good trying to aim a gun - try holding a weapon in your right hand and aim with your left eye. He shoots like a girl (yes I know there are many girls who can shoot) but he can throw like a man with both hands. For basketball, tennis, ice-hockey, soccer - very useful to be ambidextrous. Probably also skiing, snowboarding, surfing, because you care less about which way you are turning.

Why would you want to take practice and technique out of the equation anyway - throwing like a girl is not just about strength, it´s about attitude and motivation and will to compete. And technique.

And girls very obviously have different techniques to men in sports that rely a lot on strength and aggresivity. Some girls practice with men and apply masculine techniques, others try to find their own way. No one tells Sharapova that she hits the ball like a girl - but that is certainly exactly what she does, compared to Nadal, no insult intended.

Andy Murray now has a female coach, I am sure he will be very careful not to appear to be hitting the ball like a girl.

If you have the same equipment and strength matters you cant help having a different technique.

If all that matters is skill (lets say youre throwing a light ball a short distance at a target) I would expect not much gender difference.

Taekwondo Shuffle in Korea

TheFreak says...

Don't know what's been happening with tae kwon do in the past decade. It's developed this strange focus on ineffective spinning-jumping kicks. More like gymnastics than martial arts.

Of course, nothing wrong with that. It looks cool, takes practice and commitment and provides exercise. Which is really the only thing martial arts are for anyway. So, I guess I answered my own question.

Never mind, carry on.

2 girls impress guys by shaking their asses wildly

Fusionaut says...

Let us weigh the merits of this video. This video is all about two girls dancing. The dance is a style that you would obviously find in a dance club. The style is boring as hell to watch yet it would take practice and dedication to master. (if you would argue otherwise, just give it a try! ). Although this dance is of a sexual nature I do not find it sexy at all but sexiness is in the eye of the beholder, or whatever other organ it may be in. Because of this I submit that these girls made this video to document and showcase their boring as hell yet difficult dance skills, possibly for bragging rights. I find it no more shocking than old videos of Elvis 'gyrating' back in the day. Also, I am sure that "AZZ DANCE" practitioners and connoisseurs would appreciate this video in the same way that fly fishers like watching videos of people fly fishing.

Another component of this video is the text bubbles that pop up. They seem to me to be mocking the video itself and poking fun at the dance. This is why I upvoted since it made me laugh. Fuk dem soks lol.

These girls have the resources to film themselves, the freedom to dance in any way they choose, the ability to publicize their dance so that people from all over the world can discuss the "redeeming value" of it all, and above all they have freedom of expression through dance. That is why you should upvote this video and that is why I'm going to give it a *quality. Censorship be damned!

Dr. Laura's Racist Tirade: 11 N-Words in Five Minutes

Bloocut says...

" being distraught over for having been called a nigger in her own home."-Nope wrong, she did not say that she was nor did Dr. Laura call her one...inflammatory, over-reaction on your part though I am willing to listen again-Oh and, she did not extend the hypersensitivity to the entire population, merely to the more outspoken pundits and reactionaries.
To answer your questions in order:
1. No
2. Yes
3. Yes and no-Not neutral or smiley, but acceptable among familiars.
In this particular day-and-age context, one could equate the term "nigga" used informally among black men who are kindred spirits to the term "queen" or "mary" used similarly among gay men or women.
Its unfortunate that anyone be the target of a comment directed towards them with clearly racial overtones. I am assuming that you are not a Caucasian or Asian and that you have a series of responses to blatant or cloaked racist terminology in any context. Am I wrong to assume that the term "black folks" is also offensive vernacular? If so, I apologize.

I agree that madam uber bitch was a bit hard on the woman who clearly takes issue with the situation within her household. I do not however, based on the segment presented believe that Dr. Laura suffers from anything more than rabid-bitch-when-it-comes-to-idiots syndrome. It comes with her territory of screening calls for the best brand drama her show affords and telling people (mostly emotionally frazzled females from America), that they need to ditch their emotionally-based responses to situations and take practical measures to deal with their problems. She's got extremely conservative views regarding sexuality and same sex couples and has pissed off most gay people in the world as well

I believe this video offering to be a similarly emotionally-charged response to an issue which is particularly personal to yourself, and you used it as a pulpit from which to decry injustice.
If the world would have never experienced the brand of slavery the Americas served up we would not be having these conversations.
Thanks a lot, empire.

Engineer releases tape of J Lo rehearsing a Streisand song

Duckman33 says...

At least she knows it's bad. But hey isn't this exactly why you practice a song, to get it right? Being a singer myself I know that it's not always possible to "nail" every song you try to sing right off the bat. It takes practice.

Wonder how 'UsesProzac' feels about comments by 'thepinky'? (Politics Talk Post)

Lucid dreaming reported on fox

Doc_M says...

I LOVE this topic, passionately. I've always been an intense dreamer. Vivid, colorful, and sometimes even sound-tracked. lol. no BS. There's a bad side to that, vivid dreaming means rare, but bad nightmares... really bad, even intense pain can be felt in some. I remember just about every nightmare I've ever had since I was 8 or 9, but also every wonderful dream as well. Fair trade.

I'm getting pretty good at lucid dreaming... honestly it takes practice... a lot, A LOT a lot. I originally thought of it as a way to control bad nightmares. I've been working on it "consciously (so-to-speak)" while I sleep... that sounds stupid, but that's the way it is. I realize I'm dreaming about once every couple weeks, especially when I get a chance to sleep in really long. I pretty often just realize something in a dream is just wrong and stupid, so I'm all "wait a minute here... this is all wrong... this is a dream. lol, ok, screw all this, I'm doin my own thing." ...and I do.

A dead giveaway is if you find yourself underwater and able to breath... or if you realize you can see fine without your glasses, of if you have an unusual anything that isn't right in the dream... it's like seeing a tell in poker. You see it and you think "HA, GOTCHA. dreaming." That's why they suggested using your hands as a "tell." "Tells" work, but it's no overnight deal. It takes practice.

Also, they said to tell yourself before you go to bed that you are going to have a lucid dream. That works well in general for dreaming I've found. You can often tell yourself that you'll have a vivid dream and you will. I wouldn't try it with nightmares. Often, telling yourself that you won't have one will wind up fixating your mind on them and the fear doesn't help prevent them for sure.


Strangely enough I found flying enormously hard to do at first. It really required believing full-bore that it was a dream for sure and that you could by will overcome the normal rules. The first time it really worked was in a sort of nightmare where the only way to get away was to fly, so I did, out of fear, thinking "this is just a stupid dream and that thing chasing me isn't real, I'll just fly away and it can go f--- itself". Still the flying was scary as hell the first times and I often woke up, heart pounding. It's not really as easy to control everything as you'd think. Some things just resist being manipulated. odd.

Still the best dream I've ever had in my life was a couple months ago and purely lucid. It had a plot, drama, danger, rescue, beautiful and changeable scenery, mountains, a city, a soundtrack!, and when I thought I'd finished the story properly to it's right end, I thought I could go on... but no. This is a right and good ending. I chose to end it and wake up.

I don't know if I buy into the technology of it for now, but lucid dreams are real and controllable and a freaking blast most of the time. As for having them all night, Bull S--t. You don't dream all night. I have to sleep in pretty long to have a dream long and vivid enough to turn lucid. And as others here have said, that late in sleep, it is still hard, even after all the practice, to stay asleep and enjoy it.

That's just my experience anyway.
Geesh, long post... Midnight explains it...
Off to sleep, perchance to dream.

Why we are not ready to leave Iraq

raven says...

c'mon... you guys gotta at least wonder... at a US army boot camp, first couple of days straight off the bus from home... do our N00Bs look much better? Synchronization takes practice people.

Reggie Watts: Out Of Control (Stunning, No Editing Involved)

oohahh says...

Well, you can *try* to do it in the same way that I could certainly install Photoshop on my computer. Having Ableton Live or Photoshop doesn't make you an artist. That takes practice and time.

How to Speak KhoeKhoegowab - Click Language

Wow....it takes practice like whistling for the first time.....wonder what a hundred or so KhoeKhoegowabbers sound like all talking at once???

A factory that makes bubble wrap??!

Creative Parallel Parking Device

choggie says...

...he can't patent it, it already has one, , probably expired, from the 1950;s, saw it on a kooky invention show....
incidentally, this guy's easiest route to the parallel spot in HIS car, is the forward momentum + hard left + emergency brake.....takes practice, just like parallel conventional.....
more fun
