Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JPN: In junior high, there was a little guy that hung out with the delinquent crowd. Struck a lot of us as odd, and kinda reminded me of this: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/64025/spike_and_chester_jpg-2681768.JPG In this guy's case, the 'Spike' that he tended to follow around was a guy that had beat the crap out of me a couple years earlier. I was always among the tallest in the class, and had a stocky build, but I did what I could to avoid fights. 'Spike' was about the same size as me, and he refused to back down from a fight once things were headed in that direction. I quickly learned that his style of fighting was to wildly throw punches as fast as he could, ignoring any punches that were coming his way, and the quickest way to end the fight was to just not get back up after he knocked you down. He had older brothers that I heard were the same as him, and during my senior year of high school I worked for a guy that had gone to school with their father. He told me that the whole bunch of them had some genetic defect that prevented them from having any sensation of pain, and that if you got into a fight with their father, your only two options were to lose the fight, or hit him hard enough to knock him unconscious (which, given the lack of pain sensation, would probably involve a TBI). The little guy seemed to be trying to copy his 'Spike', letting his hair grow to shoulder length, dressing like him, etc, but from what people 'on the outside looking in' could see, he didn't seem to be much more than a mascot or gopher for the delinquents. We had half lockers in junior high, and mine was an upper locker, a couple lockers away from the little guy. One day, I was swapping books between classes, and for some reason the little guy started shoving me. I shoved back, then continued with trying to switch my books for the ones I needed for the next two classes. The little guy apparently took that as meaning the fight was on, and he came at me swinging in the same style that his 'Spike' fought, except that the height difference meant none of his swings were getting anywhere near my head, and for shots to the torso, they weren't hitting hard enough to really do anything to a person of my size. I did an open-handed slap to his head, shoved him back, and turned back to my locker. That apparently pissed him off, and he went wild, leaning forward as he came back at me swinging even faster (the forward lean meant he was hitting even lower, and the increase in wild swinging meant the effectiveness of each hit went down even more). Looking down the hallway, past the little guy maybe 60 or 70 feet, was the door to the principal's office. Not the door to the secretary's office, where you walked past her to get to the principal's office, but the side door that allowed him to walk straight from his desk out into the hallway. This little scuffle was already drawing some attention from other students, and I did not want to be talking to the principal about being in a fight, so I just wanted to get my books and get out of there. I don't remember how many times he came at me, but I probably didn't do more than a total of four or five open handed slaps at his head, and one of his charges I pushed back with a one-handed shove while grabbing a book with my other hand. As I recall, the fight ended with me grabbing the little guy with both hands, shoving hard enough to probably come close to getting him airborne, then grabbing my stack of books, shutting my locker, and heading for the door to go out to the portables where my next class was (opposite direction that I had just shoved the little guy). By the next period, people were walking up to me and enthusiastically telling me they had heard how I had "beat the crap out of" the little guy. Surprised the hell out of me, because I hadn't even considered it a real fight, just a nuisance scuffle, and hearing how it was being spread around school as a real fight, did nothing but ruin my day over worrying that 'Spike' may decide to even the score for his little buddy (or that the teachers might hear something and start asking questions). Fortunately for me, it must not have been anything 'Spike' felt he needed to concern himself with. That little guy is who I was reminded of, while looking at the height and weight information on the antifa guy that was arrested. I have a good friend who is about the same height as antifa guy but heavier/stockier. I can handle my own light 'work', he's my go to for the heavy 'work'. 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog'. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cycolac: 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog'. Sure, but... Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers, and having been with a couple of them out in a field that had groundhogs in it, I can say that breeding seems to have been fairly successful. If a dachshund watches a pit bull fight another dog, then decides "screw being a dachshund, I'm going to be a pit bull", picks a fight with a dog around the same size as a pit bull (but isn't a pit bull), then tries to fight exactly the same way the pit bull did, it doesn't suddenly become a pit bull. It's still a dachshund, but it has become a dachshund that doesn't have enough sense to realize that it is a dachshund. It becomes something less than a dachshund, by willfully throwing away what it had as a dachshund. The antifa tards want us to think they are forming up to carry out some noble fight against oppressors. They work stuff into their propaganda trying to convince themselves and others that they are following in the footsteps of past revolutionaries. Problem is that those past revolutionaries knew what hardship actually was (they had been living it) and were fighting because they had been convinced that the people leading them had a way to make things better - they had been given hope. For much of the antifa crowd, "hardship" is not being able to log on to social media or having to get up early in the morning. Claiming they are like those past revolutionaries, is not going to make up for missing out on a lifetime of getting up early every day and doing manual labor just to get a little food to eat, and somehow turn them into those revolutionaries that might eventually be viewed as faceless heroes by some later generation. It just makes them annoying tards. |

Edit: phone and fingers arent playing well together I have had back issues on and off since high school football and college rugby. Over 15 years ago I moved some furniture and re-injured it. Dr sent me to an orthopedic. Ortho looked at x-rays and said you've got a compressed disk and best bet is to remove it and fuse the vertebrae. I said thanks think I will get a second opinion. Looked up chiropractors in my area and blindly picked one. It took a few weeks of 3x weekly appointments before I began to feel better but ultimately the chiro eliminated all pain I had been experiencing. Initially I still went 1 or 2 times a month but after a year a two stopped going except when something starts to bother me. TLDR - I'd consider exploring some alternate options before undergoing back surgery. |
