Social Meme Thread v114: Your President; Your Person of the Year

[MusclesMarinara]

Regarding all these H1B visa posts; I've worked in microelectronics research for 35 years. Hiring is a challenge. There simply aren't enough Americans applying for these jobs.
My prior job at University, our staffing was 50% foreign nationals. This is while actively trying to recruit American workers, who were preferred, because I didn't have to do the paperwork to bring them in to the country. But no, we couldn't get them to apply. What you got was, Indian and Chinese nationals or the foreign born student who went to school in America and wanted to stay.
The American born doctorates all want to work as researchers and were scalped immediately by big name semiconductor companies.
If I had some advice for younger Americans; learn some mechanical skills. The semiconductor industry needs people who can work on the tooling and gas supply systems. Trust me on this, I have a Bachelors and make nearly 200k a year. I did this while swinging wrenches.

Good Lord, that suplex was a bit much. She likely has a concussion from that one. Dude's biggest mistake was leaving her like that and taking off.

Equal Rights for Women. And equal Lefts, too!

Oh I don't particularly care that it was a woman. I'd feel the suplex was overkill regardless the gender.

Should have been a table there to soften the blow

Yeah that was just a dick move. She hit him and got hit back a lot harder. She was done after that.

While I agree with you that video and it's contents taught that lady a couple valuable lessons. Not everyone fights fair or proportional, and yes infact violence can happen to you especially if you go looking for it. She will probably behave accordingly now and is likely a better person for her experiences.

ROFL! I had to watch it many times. Who makes this crap? It looks real as hell.

What you say is true. I said it in the Daniel Penny thread when you confront someone even verbally, there’s always the potential for deadly violence. You never know how someone is going to react and what you need to do to defend yourself if the offer person does go off on you.

I’ve seen people lose their shit in real life after “winning” a fight they won’t stop and do head kicks afterwards for no reason. I’d never get involved in an altercation with someone unless I absolutely had to. There’s ajways the risk of getting seriously hurt or seriously hurting someone else not to mention the risk of dying or going to jail for murder or manslaughter. None of that is worth it IMO unless you’re defending yourself in an inescapable situation.

Getting your head bashed in IRL isn’t like the movies and there’s no ref to stop the fight on the streets.

Children can learn lessons like that, adults rarely do. Its because children are still mentally flexible enough to do so. Adults, especially older adults are more mentally inflexible and set in their particular ways. I may be more cautious in the future but that doesn't mean she really learned any kind of lesson from it. In fact, the only person that probably learned a lesson was the dude who suplexed her when the cops came for him for causing her a likely concussion and leaving her in the street after.

I would have followed up with a Folding Chair.

I saw a kid die like that once. The other kid won the fight, but just kept beating on him after he was out. By the time they broke it up, it was too late.

He was too young to be given a Life Sentence, so he was Detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure, which basically meant an indeterminate sentence.
