DOES NOT RESPECT THE RUN

BUT THEY WILL

small ghost posted:

Idk if it counts as badass enough for the thread but there's a video out there of a wedding haka that reduces me to tears every time and I'm not really a wedding crier even when it's someone I know getting married.

Hakas are raw and powerful and emotional in a way we're taught to find embarrassing and shameful; and the correct response to that is to examine your kneejerk distate for seeing humans doing something so quintessentially and fundamentally human and get over yourself, not diminish the haka to soothe your discomfort.

I agree, but man it's just been kind of exploited in pop culture and sporting events and maybe there's such a thing as too much haka. At some point it loses that humanity you're talking about and it's just a producer going, "You know what would be badass? ANOTHER HAKA"

You know, maybe I overstated things a bit. But I do occasionally watch Hawaii football and watching a bunch of white kids forced to haka maybe soured me to it. I avoided watching Hobbs & Shaw specifically because the ads featured the haka so prominently but that movie was better than either of the last couple F&F movies (not saying much) and the haka actually made a little sense there.

I won't disparage any genuine haka, I think that since I've only ever seen it done on tv/movies it's always seemed forced.

That video is wonderful. When I first saw it I went looking for more recordings of the song (Pokarekare ana) and found this one where the audience joined in as a spontaneous choir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaEUY0pYCMk

How can a dude sitting on some steps with a bit of snow be bad rear end? Well this is Jaivet Ealom and he was in an Australian offshore prison for 4 years, first on Christmas Island then on Manus. He was able to board a flight off Manus by pretending to be an interpreter. He then spent 6 months on the run living in PNG and Solomon Islands before heading to Canada to get asylum there.

Dude is 100% bad rear end where ever he is, that's how.

Suicide is pretty inherently selfish. As someone who has battled personally with it, and gotten to see my family deal with the wreckage left in its wake, gently caress this poo poo.

I also grew up half a block from a rail line so I also got to see the leftovers a few times growing up.

Parking your car on the tracks to die can get bystanders killed. Jumping on the tracks just traumatizes everyone involved and at the very least inconveniences hundreds. If you're gonna take the cowards way out then have the decency to do it quietly at home without a mess.
Just a reminder that you're a complete and total fuckwit.
