Fine art

Okay. This is totally my picture. My house (currently under some reno). It was used in a comment to reply to a post with similar pics on a very insignificant reddit post.

It was copied from there and used on a Facebook post that my son's friend saw (who recognized the room) and shared with him - who then alerted me.

Pretty interesting course this picture has taken.

Edit: I can probably prove it, to an extent!

Edit number two - proof

They fall over all the time. I used to do this exact thing. We would load/unload semi-truck trailers from the loading dock, and bring them into and out of the gas filling rooms. We used this technique because it was more efficient.

When I first started there, the first thing my boss did was to take two cylinders like he was going to start rolling them, and then let them fall forward with a loud clang! He did this to show that it wasn't going to do anything by itself, and that trying to catch them was going to hurt you more. Cylinders fell over all of the time. They are pretty stout, and are thoroughly inspected every time they are refilled, and are either hydrotested or ultrasonically tested routinely (depending on the type of cylinder).

The only time they are really going to give you grief is when they don't have the cap affixed.

Men in general have no idea what women have to deal with [from men]. And so many men are fragile and want to turn it around and make themselves the victims. If you are having a hard time befriending women, then you need to look deeper into your actions and how they might be perceived by someone who has to deal with unprovoked messaging, calling, touching, staring, following, etc. Men are the reason women travel in groups to the restroom, or that there is such a thing as a drink cover in a bar, or that there are women only driver options for ride services, etc. etc. You just need to realize that even if the actual percentage of men who are creepers is low, it doesn't mean that the number of interactions women have with them is not. All it takes is one scary moment for a woman to be put on the defensive for good.
