Weirdfish

I was not going go let my beliefs prevent me from going to my fathers funeral or nephews wedding.

I have never been shy about expressing my beliefs, and haven't been compelled to a Sunday service since I was in basic training in the 90s.

How many other places in the world could she have taken this photo? All of them.

As a start, 6 million Jews were exterminated in camps like this, as well as many, many others, including some of my relatives.

I have my views, and they aren't shared by everyone. I am obligated at times to go to a church, and as an atheist, I keep my mouth shut and let people observe their sacred places.

This location is sacred, to many people for many reasons. Nothing about it suggests "Look at me aren't I cute?".

The events that happened there represent some of the worst that man can do to thier fellow man. The defeat of that ideology and liberation of these camps represent the best that man has to offer.

Men women and children died there on mass because of who they were. Men died on mass to free, protect, and avenge those people.

When you are walking on someone's grave, please show respect. When you are walking on a peoples grave, yes, take a photo, commemorate your experience, and have the humility and humanity to do it in a way that honors those who died.

Mass Effect and Dark Souls are my favorites when it comes to gaming.

I just don't fall that way on a skateboard, so I never wear one, though knee pads are a must.

I will never ever ride a snowboard without a helmet. I'll ride a motorcycle without a helmet before I'll ride a snowboard without one.

If you don't feel it, don't do it. Some injuries don't heal right, and many of the hobbies I enjoy have a pretty damned high risk factor. Almost every single time I've had a serious injury, that little voice was telling me "This one might not end well", and I went for it anyway.

I could have walked away, called it a day, and come back another time. It wasn't a contest, I was just out filming a few tricks for my "You're turning 40 and still doing it" video. Didn't stretch, didn't warm up, and my over enthusiastic filmer was all "Try this, do that". Ended up collapsing my knee and fully tearing my MCL.

Between that and a few neck and back fractures over the years, my mobility and flexibility are pretty well shot. There are things I just can't do anymore.

Sure I still skate, and am amazed just how much I can still get away with, but now every minute on the board includes a constant "Is this safe? Is this worth it?" chant.

I know you are but what am I, glad to see he's going with the Peewee defence.

I simply can't imagine being ok with someone calling me weird

No, I will. The whole thing fascinates me but it's the technology that really gets me.

The combination of high end tech and seat of the pants old school exploration ingenuity is amazing.

When we left earth, a multi part history of the space program.

I will never forget how surreal the Four Seasons presser was.

I've been skateboarding since '85, and my landing gear is fucked.

So many childish things I would 100% still be doing if I had an MCL.

To give a disproportionate amount of voting power to rural areas.

People look at a map and go "Oh my god look how much square footage is red" and can't comprehend the population density of large cities, so feel they are under represented.

Same principle as two Senators per state, and Congressmen are supposed to balance that out by representing population, until the artificial cap on number of Congressman.

Between that, and the insane gerrymandering, Red rural votes are just weighed higher than Blue urban votes.
