I appreciate heavily armed friends who aren’t ashamed to wear masks that work. Remember a couple years ago when the military briefly embraced adorable duckbill-shaped N95s? That was a good era

Brazilian jiu jitsu seems like a hilariously bad choice of core discipline for these assholes, in every way other than popularity amongst shitheads.

• Rather crap on asphalt, useless in groups

• Cops often have at least enough combatives training to neutralize techniques if grappled

• Demographic guarantees highest proportion of scumbags blacklisted from other gyms. They’ll be thinking they’re in a Pahlaniuk novel and refusing to tap out when defeated, fake tapping, leaving chokes on too long, or snapping a locked bone because they’re angwy

• Paper bag testable fashy instructors are gonna be subpar, and members will seek to train with other gyms for access to legitimate BJJ competitions. Some proud sons of the South are gonna get manhandled by gentle-spirited IT professionals, petite women, and roided out beefcakes who warmed up listening to the Gypsy Kings.

It will break some Nazi brains to experience homoerotic submission at the hands and heavy hips of people with better politics and bigger meatier love in their hearts.

Michael Jordan would’ve had greater success taking back the toothbrush mustache if he carried a rocket launcher.

Why did my phone just notify me to “KILL THE STRELOK”?

EPA and OSHA are hella dudely. Cottage cheese and pineapple as a comfort food is harmonious and peaceful too.

It is a great shame that the influence of Judaism and Christianity didn’t permanently instill Western society to maintain a robust concept of usury.

I wish churches would teach that to kids braiding lanyards in Vacation Bible School.

And big ups to anyone who goes hard for Tolstoy!

Note also that in the only gospel where the whip is mentioned, the construction of the weapon is premeditated. He didn’t just grab some leather strips off a table and start swinging; the action in John 2:15 starts specifically when he has made a φραγέλλιον, phrageillon in Greek, more famous in Latin as the flagellum.

φραγέλλιον phragéllion, frag-el'-le-on … a whip, i.e. Roman lash as a public punishment:—scourge. source

A different Greek word is used for ‘whip’ elsewhere in the New Testament; this one only occurs here in John, and in Matthew and Mark to describe the particularly Roman whipping Jesus receives later on.

Anyway, a flagellum is basically a cat o’ nine tails, and has either a braided leather handle or a heavy stick attached to cords with knots. Making one takes a while, and one worth using to drive out the cattle is going to take some chunks out of a moneychanger. Fancy Roman flagella that feature later on in the scripture had hooks and chains, and were sometimes gladiatorial weapons. Castlevania shit.

This has been your regularly scheduled moment of the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. There you go.

Mriya my beloved 😭

KRONK, PULL THE LEVERRR

Hell yeah! Straight outta that gourd all night long because TANGO DANCIN’ DOES NOT STOP

This is the one-way masking everyone expects of the immune compromised, I’m just glad they can go boating in a public park together. Besides, that GP-5 is for da people. Manufactured in the millions, with vintage filter canisters absolutely chock full of wonderfully protective asbestos.
