@Bauber

If you have never been choked out or punched in the face by a full-grown man, you shouldn’t talk about fighting or what you could do - ever.

I could take on 20 of you any day.

Bring it on!!

@BrickHead

Haha! So you’ve endured the “I’m from NY. Do you know who you’re talking, where I’m from, and what I’ve been through” mumbo jumbo?

Yeah. And I’m at a stage I just brush it off, but, I do ride a Harley just for fun however am familiar with the backroad ice houses and general subculture and hang around it some.

True story, a guy from NY was mouthing off at a biker bar about his Italian uncles to a group of the dominant club out here and I think he will be picking teeth fragments out of his mouth for the rest of his life.

I just see it as an annoying adjustment period until they realize nobody cares. Come tell your uncle to collect then. This isn’t Kansas, Toto, we all have guns, are equally willing to use them and the law supports it. It’s not like bullying the Bronx. The rules are different.

Or, just give a polite hello, enjoy your beer and have a good time.

Well paint a rainbow flag on me then. That’s the nectar of the gods.

Consider it painted.

@cyclonengineer

Every actually tough woman I have ever met never does this.

Women can certainly be tough. I watched my wife birth 2 children and that is some tough shit.

Some of the toughest guys I know are very reserved and quiet / polite. I am close friends with a few seals. One is former seal team 5. Guys with dozens of bodies and you probably would not hear any shouting or bravado from them - you would just wake up dead.

@BrickHead

I actually love the taste and have been drinking it since age eight.

My wife is a coffee fanatic. She has said more than once that she wishes I liked coffee.

@BrickHead

I suppose you stay away from Instagram and modern action films.

I only follow car and gun stuff on IG. Modern action films are garbage. I don’t really watch any TV or movies other than what my kids are into these days.

@BrickHead

Last week in the gym, I actually felt like telling such a person, much bigger and taller than me, who was rapping into thin air, “I just want you to know, I’m not scared of you.”

In today’s world - self-defense physically is good to know and practice, but I just act like everyone has a gun and / or knife. I just want to be left alone and will do everything to de-escalate, but don’t take that as weakness.

@BrickHead

A regret I have is never taking self-defense classes, although it’s never too late.

Definitely never too late. I try to roll once or twice a week and spar with guys that are much better than me. It is also great cardio.

I am getting old and broken, so you would probably be facing 20 projectiles.

Just saying.

[cyclonengineer]

It can’t be just attributed to one short term president. It’s been a building issue for a long time

[fitafter40]

You keep telling yourself that

all i know is finances, retirement funds and etc were alot better 3 years ago…they were even great under the Obama administration

and this clown we have now has ruined everything he touches

I’m bulletproof

@tlgains

I’m bulletproof

I have seen people be a lot of things.

Bulletproof ain’t one of them.

So…someone gets mouthy and the law supports them getting shot?

Regardless of whether you like Radiohead or not, OK Computer is still the most important album release of the past 40 years.

[Bauber]

The older I get the more hatred I have for government and those that support more / bigger government. That difference is irreconcilable to me and moving closer to violence every day. I have a lot of friends that also share this view. This scares me for my children.

@cyclonengineer

People who can’t figure out how to properly use roundabouts should have to put a special vinyl wrap on their car that says they are a danger to everyone around them.

While I did figure it out, I didn’t see my first roundabout until I was in my 40s. There was a momentary panic.

[cyclonengineer]

I understand that, but it’s not complicated.

[freshyfresh]

If there’s a roundabout without a high median and there’s no one around, is it really a roundabout or a speed bump?

[Bauber]

Depends on your vehicle.

They were referencing fighting.

[marine77]

I’d argue that.

[marine77]

Govt sucks at EVERYTHING… but boot licking leftist vermin have weaponized it so of course they want it bigger

[tlgains]

Lol

Nothing after Thriller held as much of a lasting impact, and that was in 1982.

People will try to say Nevermind but musically Nirvana wasn’t doing anything new. They helped bring grunge to the mainstream and formed part of the cultural attitude of the era, but other bands were along for that ride. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains etc. A voice for the disaffected youth. I believe that The Pixies and Sonic Youth are more influential. This is not to say I don’t like Nirvana, I do. It is not to say they don’t hold a strong influence either.

Maybe Arcade Fire “Funeral” would be somewhere up there, Amy Winehouses “Back In Black” too. Aside from that we are talking about maybe a few of the hip-hop album greats, Marshall Mathers LP, The Blueprint.

None of them are close to OK Computer though. There really isn’t a strong list of contenders IMO.
