Ok good talk.

"Shit, he brought up swarms of white people being poor. Time to run."

Good talk, indeed.

 

[BEER]

Yeah, I'm sure all those gang members are gang members, because of systemic racism...

It's not a black or white thing. It's a greed thing. All races have these issues. There's a link to poverty, but racism? Nah. The only color responsible for all this, is green.

IIRC modern street gangs actually cropped up when Black activist groups were systematically disbanded during the Civil Rights movement. The first groups ("gangs") started as a way to protect neighborhoods and businesses in the vacuum. There was discord among the groups that eventually boiled over with territorial disputes, and eventually grew to be modern gangs.

Sure, it went criminal eventually, but pretending like they exist because they're.... inherently criminal, I guess?.... is kind of silly and historically ignorant.

Is that different than the HBO series?

I haven't seen either but I'll probably check them out in the near future. My wife loves True Crime sruff.

My bad the hbo series , yeah just started watching it.

Had a great workout. I let my hatred for leftist scum motivate me in knocking out a couple additional reps.

Might take up muay Thai....this year assuming gyms reopen

I think Muay Thai is a good choice. Simmer you down a bit. You’re so angry it makes me sad. Also you will become sexy af.

Catharsis is a very popular idea and its plain wrong. Engaging in aggression to let off steam doesn't lead to less aggression, it leads to more aggression. You don't have like an aggression meter that needs to be drained every once in a while, rather your thoughts and patterns of behavior get reinforced the more you engage in them.

@PolishHeadlock2 have you watched the docuseries on Netflix about your boy Patton Oswald’s wife’s serial killer investigation?

Golden State Killer, right? What's it called? Been looking for a proper doc on that dude.

Yup. This seems to be more about the cyber investigation of the cold case that may have lead to his being caught. Pretty good so far.

Sounds like an interesting story, got a link I could read on it?

Seeing a lot of hate and self emasculation in the world and it pisses me off. And seeing the legitimization of racism and judging people for how they infuriates me more...

Muay thai....maybe some BJJ. I keep on hearing that's more cerebral.

I already know how to fight but I need to hone my skills...because it's only a matter of time before I'm put in a situation where I cannot walk away peacefully ...

Just carry a gun if you're really worried about that. I'd rather bring a gun to a fist fight then bring my fists to a gun fight.

But what's it called?!?!?

Have you ever had to look through a cable menu for this? It's a nondescript nightmare.

It’s called “I’ll be gone in the dark” it’s under ‘series’

In my experience, bullshit. Also, the culture of Muay Thai isn’t about aggression. Not trying to convince you of anything, though, so think what you like.

I think I've skipped over that, because it sounds like some lame series, and all of it's shows and movies just have a text list on my cable. Fuckin' Crave TV.

Definitely gonna check it out. It really should be a bigger story than it is.

I'm assuming this is in your wheelhouse. Is there a resource you recommend that discusses this stuff? I've always believed that blowing off steam helps.

I don't have studies on hand but I am pretty sure its well studied and I would take that over your experience. To be clear here I am not saying that therefore people shouldn't engage in martial arts. If you're a not very aggressive person then start training and become far more aggressive but you keep that aggression within the controlled setting of martial arts then I don't think that's a problem even though your total aggression levels increased and it could be a net gain given the health benefits of physical activity.

Al Pacino sitting in the kitchen shooting the shit with his sister about mob tactics has to be the cringiest jump the shark sequel fail I have ever seen.

Lol, ok man. I don’t see the hate and self emascu-whatever happening anywhere in real life, so I cannot relate. It’s not about being able to fight, and also I think you are underestimating the sexiness. You’re a Manny fan so I know there is good in you. I will help if I can.

Sorry, don't have anything on hand. It was just something I learned in college that stuck with me because its counter-intuitive.

 

[Mamba Mentality]

I concede nothing and your butchering of Conan and Genghis Khan quotes is but a feeble attempt by a sad, defeated, routed ex-champion.

I bathe in the juices of your females, and explore the regions you never reached.

K.

You done or do you need more attention from a superior human?
