Now to preface this I am very white, but my whole life Ive heard from people that "My great grandmother brought this recipe over with her on the boat" and I have to bite my tongue not to say "Yeah but could she cook?" In a rural town of 50 families there has to be one woman who is the worst cook in town and theres a non zero chance it was her.
I am absolutely the best cook in my extended family on both sides because I read, research, watch, practice technique and experiment.
I know a really serious bodybuilder who swears by his twice a week recovery meal. 2 double quarter pounders, 2 large fries, large coke, chocolate sundae and a protein shake.
100% of his daily fat, salt, carbs and a massive sugar spike smashed down within 15 minutes of rubber legging his way out of the gym.
Northern Australia is refered to as the Northern Territory or "the NT" also officially abbreviated to NT.
Someone somewhere came up with the slogan "CU in the NT" and its usually printed with "in the" in much smaller font. Its an excuse for dumb fucks to walk around with shirts and stickers on their car with the word "Cunt" on display. For some reason I cannot fathom for the life of me.
Pretty white girls arent used to hearing the word NO or being on the recieving end of violence. The idea that someone might just not give a fuck and smack them in the mouth is alien to them.
Big guys are used to being percieved as a threat, my wife can argue for an hour with someone in customer service over a dispute, but the moment I weigh in and I'm anything less than dripping with pleasant energy security turns up in minutes.
When I was bouncing people would say "You cant touch me! Thats assault!" and I'd say "No, I shouldnt touch you. Big difference. I can do way more that just touch you if I decide you're worth the trouble... Now go away."
People do, the Secret Service protection detail shouldnt. The fact that he got shot at AT ALL from an elevated position inside of a mile is a huge fuckup.
I actually think this could work with one important adjustment.
We should probably start with the people who think that killing off large portions of the population is a great idea and stop once we run out of those people.
You need to PRACTICE and be constantly aware of just how shit knobby tyres are on roads, just how shit road tyres are on trails and how overwhelmingly mediocre dual purpose tyres are at both... If you want to stay upright.
This is why I started wearing hats everywhere. I have to find my hat which triggers the "Have I got everything?" thought process. If I go outside without my hat it definitely triggers the "Double check EVERYTHING because you clearly arent switched on"
The point is taking the free shit DOESNT give them leverage. If they imply it does you call bullshit because it IS bullshit. I dont fight for what I'm worth any less hard because I get a free bacon and egg sandwich.
Its a mindset thing, it really ticks me off that I see this type of image on social media and at my own job all the time like its a either/or thing. Admittedly this one isnt as infuriating as most but still...
When they have a BBQ breakfast at my work. Between 60 people they spend $300 on bacon, eggs and sausages. It costs them $5 a head once a month and theres always 2 or 3 people spouting off about raises but these idiots arent in the union, they just complain about being given a free breakfast and do nothing to actually generate momentum towards better wages and conditions.
If my union came back from wage negotiations with $5 per month I would immediately quit the union and start looking for a new job. $5 a month is an INSULT of a raise, but a free lunch is still a free lunch. Take the free lunch, thank the boss for organising it and still fight for better conditions. This was given to you, you didnt have to fight for it so be grateful, but still fight for what you deserve.
Take the treat, thank the management and still fight for better wages and conditions. Its not either/or and if you think it is you're a fucking idiot. You should ALWAYS be fighting for more.
Traditional is fine when its a good tradition.
