Let's say if someone owned a mainstram media company and they had audio and video footage of someone talking

They could at any time they want put a censorship box covering their face to prevent lip reading and also put a bleeping censored sound to make it sound like they are swearing at someone when they are not to try to ruin their reputstion

This would not require modern AI fakery but only older editing technology and there is no way to know they have not been doing it all along for decades

780 military bases but that would mean there are less troops per military base on average than a smaller number of military bases if the total number of troops are the same

If someone has a billion gallons of milk and the milk costs $2 dollars a gallon

They have 2 billion dollars worth of milk making them a billionairre

But if they gave one gallon of milk each to every person in the world then that would not be enough to feed every person in the world for one week with adequate nutrition on their entire fortune

It is bot the rich billionairres that are keeping people poor but the English monarchy and the banking families who are trillionairres

If you replace a ship with new parts until all of the parts were not in the original ship then is it the same ship?

Now if a human voluntarily puts enough tattoo, cosmetic surgery, piercings and hair dye on themself to replace all their human parts are they a human anymore

If they just did the partner drills that are in karate or taekwondo and no kata I would suggest that would not be a waste of time

Chinese martial arts are generally an even bigger offender of time wasting because they usually do not even have partner drills and focus even more on the Kata but the Kata are called a different word in Chinese and Korean martial arts

The push hands partner drills in Chinese taichi are really good but they usually don't do them & just do the kata

@RoninGrey

But when you find out the secret meaning of the Karate Kata you just end up with something you could practice in a two person partner drill

So just start with the two person partner drill

Instead of giving a Kata with no explanation of the secret meaning or secret application

It is wasting years of a person's life

I was thinking disney could remake lilo and stitch but change the name to lilo and snitch and then make the movie more diverse

Mail Mole
Thymesia
Mortal Shell
Perish
The lost hero of nostalgaia

I completed all of them except perish on temporary free trials & they are all really good

None of them required in game purchases although I did not complete perish to know if they sneak in game purchases in

All except mail mole allowed you to "grind" or upgrade the character through repeated actions to make the game easier but if you are skilled enough I believe it might be possible to complete all of them without "grinding"

If you beat the final boss in the video game mortal shell then select yes to extract the gland this will make you unable to explore more of the game because your progress will start over but all the enemies will be more difficult and it will be even harder to explore parts of the game that you have not been to in some versions hardening no longer works to completely block damage also

They give you a warning but the text on that game is hard to read and they do not let you make it bigger

The dance routines are not called chinese self defense forms or chinese military forms or chinese sports fighting forms but chinese martial arts forms

There is a reason for that

They do not actually teach you to fight they teach you to look like you can fight people as a performing art in front of an audience

This is different than two person self defense drills in Korean and Japanese self defense systems

Taekwondo & karate are part self defense system part martial art & part sport fighting

In Ben Stein's books on alternative investments if I remember correctly he said the exact quote

"master beta"

when discussing the difference between alpha and beta

1 The legal age of marriage in the virgin islands is 14 years old under some circumstances according to search results

2 Epstein Island is called little saint james island which is in the virgin islands

3 Therefore under certain circumstances if someone married a 14 year old on Epstein island then they might not have broke any laws

So she saves someone's life instead of murdering them
