More specifically, chicks are emotionally wired, and dig it if you demonstrate you *are* willing to risk a disaster to defend their honor if somebody calls them a c*nt or whatever in front of you. Real easy to get cucked in the mind of the woman depending how you react in that situation, even if you were acting above it all in your own head.
Part of my IRL job is analyzing risk so that will probably not be me

That being said, there are certain scenarios that would enrage me beyond reason or critical thought. Seeing my girl, or even any girl (or any vulnerable person such as a kid or old person), getting physically whaled on by some dude would likely cause an instant physical confrontation with me

And if I’m going to fight, I fully intend to win that fight. I don’t have much formal training and I acknowledge that. But I’ve seen countless street fight videos and many seem to have one large similarity: either the guys can’t throw hard, or I think choose not to. I think a lot of guys start a street fight only going like 70-80% of max. And then sometimes they realize oh shit is this like life or death? And then they turn it up. But me, I am worried I could and WOULD throw much harder than most guys I see in street fights

And it’s not meant to be a braggy thing but a concern thing. Like I just saw the vid of the guy in NY who DA Alvin Bragg tried to nail to the wall legally for defending himself against a crazy homeless guy attacking him with a board with nails in it

At first hearing the headline, and already hating Alvin Bragg, I was like WTF! But then I saw the vid. And like most homeless guys, this one was borderline emaciated. He was a fucking twig. Yeah he had a board with nails. And he swung it with the force of a 5th grader. And the Asian dude (not nearly a fighter himself), rained like 12 punches to the bum’s face breaking all his orbital bones

See I see that vid and I think “I wouldn’t have fought that homeless guy, even though he was attacking me. Because it was a half assed attack, he’s super weak, and I would have easily EASILY killed him. Better to just get away, maybe push him down if needed to help with that”

So while I don’t agree that the Asian guy should get the multiple felonies Alvin Bragg wanted to charge him with, he shoulda realized it was a complete mis-match of a fight, to use combat sports terminology

Interestingly enough, it’s not just us humans that start measured and turn it up

My dad back in the day had sent me a vid of a dog confronting a large snake to protect the people around. At first the dog was just barking, and his barks had a certain aggressive confident tone

But then the snake struck, a good bite I forget exactly where on the dog. And right then the dogs barks changed to a bit of a shrill shriek. And you could tell it’s dog brain had just realized “oh shit this thing can really hurt me”

…And it went into savage mode. Grabbed the snake by the head and shook so hard it was dead in seconds

It’s like there’s various levels of intensity to fights. We don’t all start at the same or end at the same level

The minimum wage is becoming the maximum wage unless you've got a skill, so there's a big push to get qualified in anything that'll pay a decent wage... and then if qualified, why stay? That "misery" he talks about is a real thing lol.
We have these problems too. The US does itself no favors by not investing in poor people’s education and social mobility. I guess the UK is in the same place sounds like

SAD BIGLY

Supposedly Snopes had a mission statement something to the effect of “to demonstrate how unbiased we are, none of our staff are allowed to donate to political causes” or something to that effect

But the first few staff members this guy checked, all donated to Dems. I knew Snopes was biased when they never once mentioned anything about the Jussie Smolette hoax. That was big news back in the day. Had he been a Repub, they’d have been all over it

Where I heard this about the donations is linked below. Now did this have a role to play in FB’s decision? Did they catch wind that Snopes staff was donating to Dems? Who knows:

Oh also one of the Snopes staff was moonlighting as a hooker or something?

I personally don’t have a huge problem with that. Had she been a hooker and her other job was involving kids, or being the face or symbol of some company, then yea, it would be a problem

It’s crazy though how much more your off the clock actions now affect your livelihood. That Eagles fan that cussed out that chick lost their job over it

Shit I gotta be on point now IRL

Caldwell was fired from his job at BCT Partners, a DEI-focused management consulting firm, the company announced Tuesday night.

May or may not apply to blue collar.

Yes, health workers are blue collar.

We're no different than the salaam witch trial puritan freaks, except we do it on a global scale online now.
