There were others who changed sports as well… Fosbury didn’t cause the Olympic committee to implement any bans, which is to say that others arguably attempted much larger changes…

He simply tried something way the hell off the beaten path and it caused people to think differently about how to go about doing their thing.

Jimi wasn’t even the only revolutionary influence in his time, you could argue chuck berry had more influence at the time, you could argue Charlie christian had more influence at sorta the same time, you could argue Zeppelin, Sabbath, the Beach boys…

Nobody came crashing into music from deep left field like Hendrix did though, just like nobody came into the Olympics from deep left field the way fosbury did (I’d argue for korbut, but nobody followed her lead due to pretty much everything she did getting banned).

I get what you mean and don’t disagree, but I did say I was speaking to a specific context ;)

I guarantee you there’d be pictures of Joe sitting on em, playing with em, pretending to drink from them…

Military gives a lot of people a a fairly dark sense of humor :)

Hendrix. Hendrix is the fosbury of music. Dude went off in his own direction in both technical and compositional terms, and a lot of people followed.

There’s solid points in the comments, but I feel like we’re talking about a single individual ignoring convention here, and there’s really only one answer in that context :)

Attachment to either party is waning among younger voters. A plurality (41%) of them call themselves independents.

I swear this is a generational thing. Silent Gen were rebellious bastards, boomers were not, gen x are rebellious bastards, millennials are not, gen z going with being rebellious bastards totally checks out .

My old gen x ass is 100% with you my little dudes/dudettes… Gotta fight for your right to party ;)

Sums up my experience with reddit, except I brought my own app originally and everything was cozy for years, then one day, this…

The Ministry of Finance estimates the tax could generate about $43 million a year in tax revenue.

What could go wrong you ask? It’s right there… $43m a year… That doesn’t get deducted from the profits of the speculators, it comes out of the equity in the homes that get sold. The flippers aren’t gonna eat the tax, they’re going to add it to the cost of the homes they flip.

The law isn’t going to mitigate flipping much, it’s going to add $43m/year to the amount home prices increase by, and when people see the neighbors house values go up, they’ll demand more for their non-flip sales as well.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority states the money for the program comes from the Recreational Fishing Licence Trust Fund, which is raised through fishing license fees.

Kinda makes it an investment of sorts…

I live in rural north Idaho, which is definitely one of the places you’re referring to, and simply saying you feel threatened is only going to get you so far… Your assertion that the random person at the door was a threat has to meet a “reasonable” criteria. A reasonable person would have to feel threatened under the circumstances.

Putting a .30-30 round through the front door when somebody rings the doorbell is a total crapshoot. If it’s the pizza guy or FedEx, I’m 100% fucked, because nobody’s going to buy that they were being threatening in any way.

It’s not as simple as you’re suggesting :)

Might think they aren’t fucking around, but take a shot at random folks ringing the doorbell and theyll definitely find out… Cops are gonna show up, and they’re likely to be a little grumpy.
