I just did a handstand and simulated falling over.

I think there's no way anybody would keep their arms straight.

Our bodies are extremely wary of letting out bodies slam into the ground, full impact, with our arms as a fulcrum. When we're next to a glass table (!), that instinct is even more pronounced.


Once we're tipping over upside-down, our bodies instinctively crumple to return to the ground and avoid the body slam.

This just adds to the already large number of improbabilities that have to occur in order for this video to be real.

I think the fundamental difference is how politicians in the USpander to religion, even the ones who aren't actively religious. I mean c'mon, we have presidents swearing on the bible and ending speeches with god bless even though it's never required in the constitution and we have a freaking establishment clause right there in the bill of rights.

It certainly wasn't what the founders intended, they were very wary of religion. But hey, thanks to paranoid Joe McCarthy, it's on our money, it replaced our motto, it's everywhere.

we have a ton of politicians who are proud of the idea that they think evolution and climate change are hoaxes

It's starting to change. People who are claiming no religion or atheist/agnostic in America is on the rise, but again We've still got a ways to go before we can make a real push to separate god from gov't.

In my experience cat's dont learn too well! I'm guessing he ended up looking so rough the coyotes just thought better of it!

On a serious note my parents have a tiny cat, only about 2kg in weight and about eight years old now. She's ever so timid around people but will chase dog foxes several times her size out of the garden. Foxes are extremely wary of cats as even if they would win a full on fight they'd be very lucky to come out of it without a serious injury of some kind. Domestic cats don't have the same survival pressures and have grown cocky, but foxes won't get taken to the vets or have food given to them. Same with the coyotes!

Yah, I am pretty wary of power abuse, but those cops are extremely cool and collected. This is definitely not some adrenaline pumped up abuse. That means either they felt they were very much in the right to enter (and some context as to why they felt that way would be very good) or they were the meanest jack booted Fascists yet. I get the distinct feeling it was the former.

Jesus... I... fuck me, I don't even know where to start with that.

I'll be honest. I've been wary of the term "rape culture" as I've seen it applied to scenarios that didn't warrant it.

But that is just disgusting. It is unfathomable to me.

When I first saw this vid, with more information than just pictures of the booth, my first thought was "Templin Grandin." She's the autistic woman who designed all the slaughterhouses for humane killing of cows. She noticed how they calmed down when they were put into narrow spaces and held close.

She started doing it to herself -- confining and constraining herself in a self made "holding pen." It worked great.

This booth reminded me of that. @Hunter's link above confirmed it. As the kids get older, they actually request the booth and go voluntarily.

Things like this make me wary about signing petitions from irate folks -- I want to hear the whole story, usually, before I'll sign something.

That's wary dude but fuck if ya wouldn't be weary after lugging that cock around...YIKES!

God, the psychology involved in a woman's mind who thinks an ass like looking like that be appealing....I blame rap music.

Note that you should also be wary of injecting silicone in your penis...

Despite those obvious benefits, I guess bashing on states rights is quite popular these days.

Funny how the only time I ever hear anyone talk about states rights are when they want to do something retarded. So bash away, AFAIC.

I know it feels unfathomable to you right now that your political views might be wrong, or that you might be the one with a "backward world view", but realizing that isn't moral relativism, it's admitting that you're human, fallible. Politics is a complex subject, I'm not saying there are no right answers, just that you should be wary of those who claim to have them.


There's a difference between political differences (socialism v capitalism, authoritarian v liberal) and fundamental human rights. You want to argue the relative merits of isolationism vs interventionism? Go nuts. But I have a serious problem with people equivocating on subjects like this as if it's an academic topic for debate.

And btw, you can leave the condescending "I know you don't get it now" tone out of it. Neither of us know anything about the life experience of the other. For the record, my politcal stances have changed many times, from anarcho-capitalism to socialism to somewhere in between, but once again, this is not about politics.

@ChaosEngine I mean a person wanting to change a law, and making that happen, compared to her just up and moving. You're assuming some authority is already engaged off a single complaint. Did the glittery cost-fairy take care of getting that whole process under way?

There are more groups with objectionable views on a federal level than on a state level. You can't stop legislators from making stupid laws, but you can mitigate the damage by having them legislate over less citizens and territory, so less citizens are affected, and those who are can still move outside their reach. Despite those obvious benefits, I guess bashing on states rights is quite popular these days.

What you said is not true. The officer indeed handcuffs the offender after delivering pain compliance (force used to gain control of non-compliant suspects).

It's petty to downvote comments that come from a different perspective from your own.

Also, if you can't express yourself without swearing, this is probably an emotional rather than intellectual discussion.

I'm sorry, but I don't give a fuck what he's wanted for. If you think he's dangerous, bring fucking backup.
Also, that wasn't a distracting blow. It could have been called that, had the officer actually attempted to handcuff the man, instead of smiling at the fucking camera.

Appartently he was wanted for several (weak) charges, excluding threat of violence, of course. http://www.startribune.com/local/167902675.html?refer=y>> ^Velocity5:
Didn't they hear him say he didn't do anything? I don't understand the case file they were working from that made them arrest him.


The article says he was wanted for felony charges, so it can't be too weak. It's probably best to avoid the various conditions that led to those felony charges, and it's bad form and illegal to threaten a romantic partner with injury or murder.
The "distracting blow" (the kick) used by the officer to enforce compliance with his order that the suspect place his hands behind his back seems possibly unnecessary. But the suspect was known to have resisted arrest a few months ago, so officers are probably more wary in such cases.
Distracting blows are standard procedure, so the best advice for peacefully managing an encounter with law enforcement continues to be: comply with orders and take up complaints after the fact. Choose as you will.

@Issykitty @dotdude @dystopianfuturetoday @pumkinandstorm Tt came back last night. After four months, he came back! To my shame, I let him in thinking he was one of the other four black cats. It wasn't until I noticed how fervently he was eating and how emaciated he was that I realized it was Tt. I pet him for so long, just wondering where the hell he's been. He's sitting downstairs, staring out the window. I'll let him out again, probably, but he came back to eat. So glad he did.
Stuka was very freaked out by him, sniffed him very carefully and stays distant and wary.
