You should do what I did: get them all tattooed on your arm so you can quickly and easily check to make sure you aren't accidentally using them.

That's a good idea. What i'll do is organize them by size, with the most offensive being the largest so i can rapidly identify them to prevent this kind of mistake in the future. I'll be sure that none of them are too small, i don't want anything to be missed out.

The only downside is that I keep getting punched in the face and no-one will employ me or sleep with me.

Same, but that's down to my lovely personality, lack of skills and serial killer-esque looks.

The racist tats will really finish it all off perfectly. All i need now is a gun and some meth.

I'll be sure check with you next time. Not that i looked at their icon, let alone knew it was racist.

I think the poster was trying to alert you to something you were unlikely to have noticed, in case you wanted to change your source once you were aware of it? Not that they were alleging you were a racist because of where you linked.

Talk about threading a needle. Either one of them being a few inches closer on center would have made that way worse.

The schools invite us, and the dog-and-pony presentations I've been a part of lean more towards "don't mess with stuff that explodes/try wearing this 80-lb. bomb suit" than straight-up recruitment (though the element of raising interest is still there).

Honestly at first I thought something had smashed through the wall behind the loving stove.

In this case I guess I'm just surprised that it's this, uh, limited of a gas explosion if it's a gas stove. I figured the loving thing would've come apart and sent cast-iron shrapnel everywhere. See also why I'll never own any of these loving hell devices.

Well, you go to your kitchen like any other day and just try to like heat up some soup. You're probably not thinking about watching for karate chops from your fridge immediately after having to turn and run for your life from a sudden exploding stove attack.

I took suburban "karate" classes back in the day. We did all these drills like blocks and stances and katas that were useless for self defence but good for exercise so :shrug:

One set of drills was to have one guy with a rubber prop knife stab at you and you disarm him, on repeat to perfect the technique and go faster, etc.

Anyway, one of the dojo Masters took a trip to NYC and while there a mugger pulled a knife on him. Automatically, he disarmed the guy, and automatically went to hand the guy his knife back since that was how he drilled. Both parties confused, they parted ways without trouble.

When I took karate we specifically did not hand items back to our opponents during drills. Throw that poo poo in the corner, keep it, use it against them, whatever, just don't hand it back so you don't get into the habit of doing so. We also were instructed not to help each other up when doing throws or grappling, but to take several steps back instead, and had to practice getting up without using our hands. Went to a different dojo once and I'm sure everyone thought I was super rude for stepping back instead of helping people up and refusing their help getting up, but gently caress 'em. I've thankfully never had to use this stuff in a real fight but I don't want to have a duh moment and help a mugger out if I do get attacked.

I do have a really bad habit of trying to catch falling things, though. Had to break that one real quick once I started working in a kitchen, especially since my instinct is to try catching things between my stomach and the counter.. :shobon:

God I hope that's not actually a truck route. I live on a (residential) corner that's part of a truck route where they routinely come through for similar left turns. Luckily, we don't have people parking on the shoulders. I can't imagine trying to get through there.

When I have to do repairs to the sidewalk outside my building I'll set out cones to block off the fresh cement or whatever and 100% every time someone will walk between the cones into the work area. When we paint the bollards outside people will 100% every time lean against them despite the cones and caution tape and wet paint signs. You have to put out the cones and put up the signs, of course, but there's a certain number of people for whom anything short of an insurmountable barrier is useless and I think this might be one of those.

Those are super common in New York City because there's no room for storage except basements, so every business needs to be able to load directly in and out. I recommend against walking on them because sometimes they're old and broken and just collapse inward under you (which happened to a family friend's wife).
