Skydiving is not like being in your mother's arms. You've aimed yourself at a planet and it is you and only you that will save your sorry ass.
That much is true.
I retract my previous statements.
Not Allomancy? Being a full Mistborn would be cool, but I'd take being a coin shot.
Hemalurgy is right out of course. Really don't want spikes sticking in me anywhere.
It was the Halloween boogie 1999 at Skydive Greene County in Xenia, OH. We were jumping a CASA 212' which at the time was the largest jump ship in the US. It was Sunday morning, first load of the day and I was sitting up by the cockpit. The previous night was filled by a party and a ton of beer.
At about 9000 feet my bowels started rumbling, at 10k I released. All 30 people on the plane started gagging. The pilots opened the rear door to air out the cabin. As any pilot will tell you, a fart at altitude is a dangerous thing.
The Drop Zone Owner warned us that if he catches the culprit, that person would receive a permanent ban from the DZ.
I was suspected, as were a couple of people that had been sitting near me, as that part of the plane is where the smell was most intense. But no one fessed up.
I jumped there for another 7 years.
I've seen that exact scene in Atlanta trying to get to Alpharetta from 75 S by 675.
You DO have the right to speak.
What you lack is the capacity. At least for productive thoughtful speech.

Oh god, the bowling alleys. The stink of cigarettes, soggy fried food, and machine oil that didn't just destroy your clothes, but actually permeated your soul.
Both of my parents smoked. My two brothers and I would take a pair of scissors and cut the cigarette in front of their faces when they would go and light up.
I don't remember how long it took to get them to quit, but they finally did.
It's just not the health aspect, but smoking is just absolutely disgusting. A smoker just stinks to high heaven and they make everything around them stink long after they leave. How they are not completely mortified by that, I will never know.
Then add the expense and the deleterious health impact.
It begs the question...
What the actual fuck?
I was wondering why the world felt like it was a better place.
I'm glad that cancer was finally able to shake the OJ Simpson disease and is feeling much better.
Just finished the fourth complete rewatch of Faracape for the family. For me personally it was my 8th rewatch. By far my favorite sci Fi series of all time.
After that we watched Firefly.
Just started Stargate SG-1. Second time for the family, 3rd time for me.
I personally know someone who totaled 4 cars before turning 18. He literally treated the gas as an on/off switch.
So people that bad at driving are out there.
Truth be told, drivers here in the US are TOTALLY untrained for the most part. My oldest is currently in driver's Ed and it is a joke, in regards to actually how to drive a car. I have spent a lot of time training him as I have a long history taking racing and advanced driving courses. I've held SCCA and FIA racing licenses and I have taken some courses that are usually reserved for police officers The only problem is I do not feel that I'm a very good teacher for him. But he has picked up some things, even if he isn't up for threshold or trail braking.
Thank you. I really like your post and wanted to give you more than just an upvote
From a fellow ex-christian. Ex since the age of 11.
That seems to be a desecration of the Bible. I wonder if "Christians" will even raise an eyebrow.
I lie about everything... Even this comment is a lie.
In all seriousness, I do enough misdirection that it would be difficult to figure out who I am. But not impossible. Once in a while I'll post something that is completely out of character for me, just to throw off anyone that may actually know me.
Here is an example of why:
I have a former coworker fishing for me on Reddit and he is unaware that I no longer post on that site, or even have an account. A friend of mine clued me in to one of former coworker's posts which mixed a bit of truth in with some massive delusional lies. So once in a while I'll pull up his Reddit account to see if there is anything I need to send to my lawyer. Yeah, it's one of those situations. The post I was originally made aware of made my lawyer giddy and he was disappointed that I declined to set him loose. Former Coworker is a narcissistic loser that lives credit card payment to credit card payment anyway. The best way to deal with a narcissist is with indifference.
So yeah, my posts are true to the point where identifiable information is needed. Then I mis-direct.
I get that this is the Internet.
But how about this one time, we all converse as adults.
How does that sound?
An adult response would have been:
"Virtually all European universities require a Masters to attain a PhD."
This is Lemmy and not Reddit after all.
Someone should have told my wife's program that.
But I can understand how that would happen.
Today she's looking to stress cells in a lab to promote a mis-folded protein response that mimics how it happens in the body. At least that's how far my IT guy understanding goes. She's found herself running a BSL 3 lab working with nasty micro organisms and that is not her field. It's just the path her research lead he down.
Probably a lot of these posts coming, but here's mine.
Just deleted and exported all of my Reddit comments/posts and exported them (hey, I'm old and can experience bouts of nostalgia.) If Reddit as a company cannot respect their users, then a user I will no longer be. Normally such things don't bother me. For profit companies are always behave as scumbags. We're their product and if the product doesn't behave, then it gets put into its place. That is what I have been seeing the past couple of months.
What finally did it for me, to jump ship, as the way the Admins started treating the Mods. People that actually grew and put in the effort to grow the various subreddits. You know, the people that actually did the work to produce the product Reddit, as a company, is trying to sell. It is not surprising that Reddit's management is so clueless. They want to make money, but the product they are trying to sell... Was built by someone else... FOR FREE. The Reddit execs think they have tons of content advertisers would love, when all they really have is a platform, which OTHER PEOPLE built content on. Advertisers don't care about the platform, there are tons of those out there. The advertisers are only interested in the content that will draw people to look at their ads.
My prediction is that the Reddit IPO will be successful, but as a company it will outlast the IPO about 3 years.
Sometimes things are not about money and it astounds me the number of people that just don't understand that fact.
