I know it's cruel and terrible, but I do want to see a bullfight before I die. It's the last truly barbarous spectator event left in the civilized world and I want to experience it even if it winds up sickening me and I leave.

I'm in the hospital because while eating my first bite of a hotdog, a bit of it fell down my food pipe. Said food pipe decided to clamp down on that nugget of food, so there's a good chance I'll have to be knocked out and be fished around inside.

Double freude points for this same thing happening maybe four years ago. Same food, same effect, same possible result.

Sometimes when I eat hamburger a piece falls down my windpipe and I reflexively cough causing it to shoot up into my nose causing me to reflexively sniff which causes it to go back into my windpipe. The cycle repeats until I manage to somehow interrupt it by sheer force of will while flailing about crying and choking.

At the risk of sounding like an edgy rear end in a top hat:

I went to a bull fight and its no better than dog fighting. They torment and stab the bull until it's tired and worn out, then some dipshit in tights comes out and plays with it for a while before spearing it with a sword.

If it was one on one with a fresh bull I might see some sort of man vs beast style thing but it's so handicapped by the end. Was hoping for a goring the while time.

Stayed for three matches before we left. One of them didn't die so they stabbed it a bunch more, one stood very still for a few seconds before vomiting a torrent of blood from its mouth and nostrils before keeling over and kicking out.

Go watch one so you can tell other people how gnarls it is. But anyone who defends the practice imagine if it was a horse or cat or something. Not a whole lot of difference.

Basically gently caress that dude, he made a living out of making a spectacle of spearing an animal through its lungs and heart while hyping up how dangerous it was. Congratulations on your poetic justice dude. I feel sorry for his wife, but she knew the risks.

I saw one and that was pretty much what it was. Also, at the end, they strapped the bull up to a wench and dragged it onto some tiny rear end datson pickup and drove off.

I think every bullfight should start with a coin flip and if the matador loses he comes out first, the picadors stab him a bunch of times until he's staggering from fatigue and blood loss, and then the bull comes out with a sword duct taped to its head.

The bull already has two swords on its head. The Matador should have his sword duct taped to his head. That would make it fair and lend some dignity to this noble profession.

What are the odds that there are actually underground deathmatch tournaments going on? I sorta think it's not a very far fetched thing, but if you consider how much money pro fighters make legally, it would mostly be relegated to boring, second tier fighters and the fights would be boring as gently caress even if they ended with death. It would be exactly the same fight before the judge interrupted, but with the added death.

(You know, because a fast-food joint being out of an item doesn't apply to women. If a woman wants one of whatever they're out of, they'll get Ronald McDonald himself to come out from the back and wave his arms to make one magically appear for her.)

Some schadenfreude from the election we recently had here in Australia: four middle-aged dudes who were part of a politician's election campaign thought it would be a great idea to drive around in a black jeep (possibly with fake licence plates) at 4am on the morning of the election tearing down the opposition's election banners and then drive their car at people who told them to gently caress off, getting caught on video in the process.
It turns out that the cops didn't agree it was a great idea

We should be so lucky. I started to feel bad about watching a man die but then I noticed the bull was covered in its own blood from all the spears sticking out of its back and all my unhappy feelings just went right away :unsmith:

Here’s the key moment in Meliana Trump’s speech tonight:

My parents impressed on me the value of that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. Show the values and morals in in the daily life. That is the lesson that we continue to pass on to our son.

We need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. [Cheering] Because we want our children in these nations to know that the only limit to your achievement is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.

And this is from Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008:

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.

And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.



Donald Trumps wife basically stole an entire passage from Michelle Obama's speech from 2008. Yes, the Obama's that are terrible and can't do anything right. Given on the floor of the RNC.
