Oh. No. Women have skulls like porterhouses.

It is not an emergency. Just a useful skill that I would like to have.

gotta make sure y'all keep all that knowledge safe and cozy.

you should learn some carries in responder training but i can't see court taking it personally if i show you some stuff early. so. ok.

That is a kinder read. In my experience, women tend to be a little more stubborn. Just 1.5 mm more stubborn.

I can see her taking it personally. Are you sure?

but for a good reason. at least half of the time.

what?? no she's chill and she ain't got enough shoulders to demo right now anyways

Is she? That’s good.

Do you need someone to help you demo? I could ask Reggie. We are about the same size.

what're you comfortable with. cause i can do 1-on-1 but if you want somebody else there or you need to see it first that's cool. [...] zelda's about your height too.

If you do not think we need anyone else, I will not bother them.

Unless you would be up for running a class?

is that what the people ~~really~~ want

I think most of us in the Quad are at the Love and Belonging stage of our Maslow’s hierarchy of wants. And, in a way, learning to carry someone larger than you is a form of care and intimacy, is it not?

if you say "hey arlo's running a care and intimacy class" they're gonna make HR just so they can handle me

Oh?

i only understood half the stuff you said.

I see. Sorry. Where did I lose you?

who's maslow

He was an American psychologist who theorized that there are five levels of human needs and that the higher tiers cannot be reached until the lower tiers are met.

Have you ever seen an image of a pyramid labeled physiological needs, safety, love, self-esteem, and self-actualization (bottom to top)?

[...] how's his theory hold up these days? with everything going to hell i mean.

i know the food pyramid, the pyramids in egypt, and the bass pro pyramid

Oh, I do not know. He was also eugenicist, so I would not put much faith in his ideas in general.

What is the bass pro pyramid?

[...] that's good, for a sec i thought i had something new to worry about but now i can keep on keepin on without worrying about some shithead's pyramid of [...] shit.

d'you remember bass pro shops, like the outdoors stores with all the fishing and hunting stuff

Well, I do not think we need a questionable psychologist to tell us that humans need their biological functions (food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep) met before they can feel safe or self-actualized. That is not new information.

No, I have never been to one. Are they shaped like pyramids?

oftentimes folks need a lil reminder of all that stuff but there's gotta be a better way.

wow. how the other side lives. there was an arena in memphis they built like a pyramid that got turned into a real big bass pro shops store cause us americans love excess

A better way than what? The ghost of Maslow pointing to his 5-tier plan?

I have lived in remote places my whole life. […] You do not seem to love excess. You live in a car.

yeah but short of a poster nobody'll look at idk any ways to do it

how remote's remote?? [...] it's a pumper truck and trucks're like excessive cars

Oh. We remind each other, I guess. And then keep a stiff upper lip when the people we care about lash out for suggesting they should drink some water.

So remote that other Russians use the word Kamchatka as place holder for anything that is faraway and undesirable.

that's wild???? how'd you end up all the way over here
