Bio Real

Chill Annoying

It has been. I’m tough, but I’m not big or strong compared to a lot of males. And I or any non-disabled male could hand-to-hand easily defeat all but the most well-trained women MMA fighters. It’s just biology. Even before I worked out a lot, I had and have more muscle mass, more fast-twitch muscle, more lung capacity and thicker skin. Now that I’ve spent years working out it’d be even less of a contest. Put me in a ring one-on-one with a woman and I’d lay her flat on her back in 15-20 seconds.

Not that I want to do that or would do that. It’d not be fun for me, or any normal non-Islamic non-Hamas man. But at some point, biological reality must be acknowledged.

As I’ve recounted before, a very athletic female friend one time wanted to see how she’d fare against me in a fight. Note that she was taller than I am and was far more coordinated. I reluctantly agreed, though I told her I outright refused to do anything that might hurt her for more than a brief bit of temporary pain.

And I had her pinned in less than 10 seconds. Was not even hard. If I’d gone all out as if it were a real fight I think I could’ve knocked her out in 2-3 seconds. It rattled her to know how little she could do to resist. After that, I regretted doing it, though it didn’t change our relationship luckily.

Alas for us all, biology is real.

EVF

Chill Annoying, Clowns

People who complain about the batteries in EVs sometimes catching fire…you do realize that ICE cars have big-ass tanks full of gasoline, right? You know, one of the most combustible substances commonly used by humans?

Best stats I can find show that EV batteries catch fire at about 10% the rate of ICE vehicles. Stats also show that every one of you carping about that is a dumbass.

Paying Out

Chill Prediction, War

Russian spy ship ‘directed lasers’ at UK forces, says defense secretary.

Again, NATO is already at war with Russia. It’s just that no one besides Russia is acting like it.

We should actively be kicking Russia out of Ukraine now with 500,000 troops as well as shoring up defenses in the Baltics and Poland. Germany as well.

But we aren’t and won’t. And we’ll pay for that heavily in a few years.

Plausibility

Chill Clowns, Evil

Oh, bullshit. They are plausible. We just chose not to try them. Huge difference. I remember when smartphones weren’t “plausible.” I remember when CRISPR wasn’t “plausible.” And I remember when reusable rockets weren’t “plausible.”

What’s plausible is what you make happen and that does not violate the laws of physics. That’s it. That’s all.

People are really eager to keep crawling around on this rock, living and dying like savages, doomed to extinction. Idiots.

Looking Like

Chill Amusing

One time I was staying in a cabin in the Frozen North with a platonic woman friend of mine. It got unexpectedly hot — into the high 80s. The cabin was exposed to the sun so even for me it got quite sweltering during the day in there.

As we baked, she said, “I hope it won’t make you uncomfortable, but I am going to wear as few clothes as possible. I just can’t stand this heat.”

I told her she could go naked for all I cared. It’s nothing to me either way.

She replied, “I know you don’t care, but I’d be too self-conscious all the time about whether my tits looked good or not.” Which made me laugh. And I can also understand.

As it was, she was in the smallest bra and panties I think I’ve ever seen in my life. So it’s not like much was covered anyway.

(And yes, she knew I was going to put this story on my blog.)

The next day, the heat broke and we went back to not dying in that cabin. Beautiful night sky there, though. It was a fun little getaway.
