I wonder where their sandals are?

Tbf, she says she supports ending the filibuster. Whether or not she can do it or convince enough senators to do so is another thing entirely.

Might be able to do that by extending the responsibilities of the secret service for such things. Or having the NSA on top of that shit.

I wonder if someone here is willing to create some account on there and start archiving what he says.

This is not exactly the case. “It can be used for combat” does not necessarily mean “it’s the best/ideal/ready for combat”. I would stress readily that if you are in the west, Judo and or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are good for grappling arts. For striking arts Muay Thai is great! Some alternatives are sanda or dutch kickboxing. Though I’m not too sure on availability of Sanda schools in the west. If you really want to go the Chinese martial arts route, Choy Li Fut is a good style, and has supposedly gone toe to toe with Muay Thai on a few occasions.

Yes, I think scale is typically what determines strength of control upon individuals. Cults are smaller and thus any charismatic cult leader can exert greater control on his small flock. The larger your religion gets though, the less likely the leader himself can micromanage and exert control, thus leading to the delegation of responsibilities and power.

It’s good as a form of physical meditation. Supposedly some speculate taichi may have been a training art for actual practical grappling arts like shuai jiao.

Innocentia nihil probat

Id quod est iuris nihil probat

Literally 40k inquisition logic wtf.

I think the “bulletproof” claims are vastly over hyped. It can block 9mm and that’s about it. Rifle rounds can easily penetrate it lol.

The anvil, can make a lot of stuff with it. You can even use it to make fire, striking a piece of iron until it’s hot enough to light a forge or small fire. Older copies of the Machinery’s handbook(the machinist’s Bible) have a few things on blacksmithing.

Or shit, make your own instance and have your own mods lol.

Probably means it’s spreading in the community over there from human to human contact. Not good to say the least. I’d say stock up on toilet paper lol.

Hmmm, it might not be, but it’s still within the interests of the chinese state. Let’s say the CCP actually wanted Africa to succeed. They may see the ascendance of Africa into something close to first world conditions as beneficial to them, as now they would have this history of benevolence and investments with a market away from the US, thus slowly chipping away at their reliance to the west.

Are you a cardiologist now? Anything you can say to scare nicotine addicts from smoking or vaping lol?

Quick! lets shill on Blue sky!

Hopefully we get some Brazilian mastodon and Lemmy users from this

Lol, at least with Vance there’s potential deniability concerning his weirdness. It’s proven that RFK fucking is obsessed with dead animals.

I always trust that feeling, what’s the downside to not doing so, other than time?

Wonder if there are other open source sodas out there? Maybe even an open source energy drink?

Yeah, the anxiety and paranoia thing weakened for me a year ago after I took shrooms for the first time. The strength of the social anxiety and paranoia hasn’t come back, permanently weakened I feel.
