This is why my plan to put wings and a rocket on a cow actually made sense!

Take that, you luddite aspca goons! That cow would have revolutionized human travel!

What, you’ve never had pancakes with mascarpone before? Cheese is cheese, sheeple!

It’s neither beneficial nor an inherent detriment.

It doesn’t provide enough padding to matter for anything, and the dangers of it bring grabbed are vastly exaggerated (been doing martial arts and grappling in one form or another since jr high, if you count a little wresting then, so over thirty years with breaks here and there, and bearded the entire adult time).

At best, blows will slide more and cut less, but not enough to really matter. At worst, having it grabbed hurts, which can be a bad distraction, but it isn’t so sturdy as to not be easy to escape. It either pulls loose if their grip is bad, pulls out if their grip is good enough, or makes sure their hands are easy to reach, and allows you an easy access inside their reach.

Every little pro has a con, and vice versa, with none of it being a deciding factor.

A ponytail is worse, and a braid worse than that.

Besides, anyone with a beard that isn’t just full mountain man is going to be oiling or otherwise treating their beard. This makes bare handed grips next to useless on them. And if you’re in a full contact sparring session, you’ll have other options to keep it from being a horrible thing.

Seriously. I have never once been tapped out because of my beard. I’ve never had any idiot during my years as a bouncer be successful in using it against me. Now, I have had to trim or shave it back because of having wads of it snatched out, but that’s still a very minor issue compared to the other things that can happen in a fight.

If anything, the fact that people tend to have this weird reaction to a big, bearded guy compared to just a big guy, you get in less fights in my experience outside of training or a job. Going places with a full beard, even drunks wouldn’t fuck with me the way they would other big guys. There’s a bit of some kind of reaction where people think a beard = tough sometimes. No clue why, just that it’s often enough to have noticed.

Yeah, might work if the starter he used was fully isolated, but I kinda doubt that was done.

But it always kinda trips me out how even experienced bakers think sourdough has to have some kind of magic seed to work as sourdough. It doesn’t matter what you start with, the flour you feed with, and the environment you’re in are going to have yeast already present, so you’ll eventually end up with whatever is in those being what’s doing the work, not what was in the inoculation.

Same with the lactobacilli, whatever strain is present locally is going to end up as the working strain.

“I give this orgy 5 stars!”

Too bad the dress wasn’t macrame, then you’d also have macrame and cheese

Not exactly what you described, but Battlefield Earth isn’t too far off in spirit. Close enough that it might scratch that itch for you

I have my moments lol.

And anyone would blow all three.

Okay, I think I may have to try this eventually.

Hey, man, we’re all just echoes of light bouncing around and making good vibrations as we bounce pgf of each other. Yeah, man, like, totally trippy when you think about it.

He was really surprised to see you

Hey man, you remember that time we went to vegas and had that shootout with some mob goons, banged fifteen hookers, and rescued dogs from a fighting ring?

Great weekend! We gotta do it again sometime

That’s beautiful :)

As long as the fuckers don’t try to build a nest near the house, they can have their fun. I don’t go messing with them otherwise. But my allergic ass ain’t playing when they’re right outside the door, helllll no.

My homie, go take a first aid/cpr class. You are wrong for so many reasons, and taking the class would remedy this one tiny section of that.

And, seriously, go take the damn class, everyone should know how to perform basic care like this, period. It should be taught in schools imo.

Man, that’s the total truth.

I got lucky with my wife. We were friends before becoming romantically inclined, so some of the awkwardness and nerves were gone by the time we realized it wasn’t only friendship any more. That friendship is still there, there’s just a big + to it now.

But, even having gamed together and bullshitted online for most of two years, along with the kind of non gaming conversations we had along the way, there’s still some of that butterflies in the stomach when we met in person the first time. And there were definitely a few days where the shock of being together made us act like we hadn’t spent a year and some big change cracking bad jokes, talking about farts, and otherwise letting it all hang out while we hung out via software.

Anyway, yeah, part of the great joy of a having a partner is the freedom to just be silly and honest and share the simple things.

Looks great, but how about some love for that corn over there looking all sexy and whispering sweet things until you eat it?

You know, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to call machine learning images art, but there is a hell of a lot of craft in getting the software to make a good image. Can’t think of it as form of art, but it’s definitely a skill and craft.

I’ve played around with doing some, and getting results like this is a bit of a pain in the ass lol.
