Or just gank them

[LordOdysseus]

I saw you ganking
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you ganking
Say git gud, my love

I saw you ganking
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you ganking
Say git gud

I’m waiting for a chance
To get to point you, to ask for a ransom
Just look into my eyes
And I’ll take you to paradiiiiise

Frostpacker, my wallet isn’t blinking

I know the Bible talks about forgiveness and all, but I’m pretty sure Jesus would hold my purse while I kicked your ass.

I’m getting ready to leave where I work and was thinking what were my accomplishments while there. There were many things I happened to be a unique fit for. But for all of that, and for all the good I tried to do, my most memorable story is this.

I did a simple cement repair on an elderly woman’s step. 2 days later, I removed the caution tape and asked her to try to not walk on for 2 more days because of the time of the yr. I wished her a good day and turned to leave.

And I don’t know what made my do it, but I turned back around and wagged my finger at her and said, “And no spike heels for 2 weeks”. She looked at with a smile that would have put the Mona Lisa to shame while blushing through every shade of pink to red there is! I don’t know what memory I sparked, but I did at least one good deed while there.

Shes now passed away, but I’ll never forget her.

Gotta remember we were “all” young once. If you think old farts like me forgot what it’s like to be young, you are very sadly mistaken…

Edit; I’ll only get likes from the old farts for this post so don’t show your age by liking it!

That is a stupid thing to do, he might have fallen off and landed on my cat.

@MB_ThePhotographer

you are very sadly mistaken…

Let me know how your memory is when you are 306 years young.

I’ll wait

The first photo is a bird eating spider..

The second photo. On the way down the window cracked. Not fortunately enough to cause the bathyscaphe to implode.

That third photo is one that is most harrowing. Imagine parachuting into an enemy held position. With everyone shooting at you as you descend.

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move.

“Sensei,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.

“No,” the sensei insisted, “Let him continue.”

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

“Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defence for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

Also: some images are unsettling and sad…

Photograph: USAAF serial number S/N: 42-107566 Martin B-26C-45-MO Marauder. Shot down by flak on the July 10, 1944 mission to bomb the railroad bridge at Marzabotto, Italy. A direct hit blew the left wing and horizontal stabilizer off, sending the plane into an uncontrollable spin and trapping the crew inside. It was the crew’s second mission to the target area that day.
MACR 6454:
1st Lt. Murry B. Wiginton,Jr. - Pilot (KIA)
2nd Lt. William E. Wigginton - CoPilot (KIA)
PFC Norford G. Meador - Togglier* (KIA)
Sgt. Ernest D. Casey - Engineer/Gunner (KIA)
S/Sgt. Wesley B. Hoffman - Radio Operator/Gunner (KIA)
S/Sgt. Philip A. Iannotta - Tail Gunner (KIA)

*Toggliers where the air crew who released the bombs of their aircraft upon command by the lead plane’s bombardier

The pilot is doing all he can to try and turn the aircraft to the right side, with full aileron, rudder and stabilizer deflection, but it’s a lost battle. Probably he still doesn’t knows that his left wing is missing. Next, the aircraft will roll the left side and start spinning wildly, crushing the crew members against the walls and pining them in place, unable to move against the centrifugal forces as the aircraft plummets to earth.
