    Mandatory bare knuckle boxing match with good friend, would have really hurt if he hit me hard if he hits me as hard as he can. I am losing my skills, He's much better at it. I didn't have any trouble with him before.

    This is one thing I never understood about 'human relationships'.

    So Friend X wants to hang out with me, but Friend Y and Z usually know X comes around, and wants to do like a big get together. Friend X doesn't want Friend Y and Z to come along, but however, doesn't want to tell Y and Z because that would make Friend X look like a 'scumbag'. So Friend X doesn't want to hang out because Friend Y and Z would find out, and ask, therefore, I should lie to Friend Y and Z saying I don't want them to come around at all, and just Friend X. Therefore, so I look like the 'scumbag' and not Friend X. Also, me saying "Friend X isn't interested in doing a big get together" causes objections due to the way I am saying it but Friend X would not say themselves.

    My view is simple, for Friend X just to say they don't want Friend Y and Z to come around, therefore, they don't come around and no issue. I don't see why Friend X finds being honest so hard.

    Stop doing bare knuckle matches

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Gloves will not help at all. They will only decrease the amount of superficial damage, eyebrow cuts and the like.

    Does the padding not increase the time over which the impact takes place, thus dampening the change in acceleration which causes damage?

    Gloves hit much harder, skin is just less likely to burst.

    Thank goodness for electronic cigarettes! I think I would be dead of lung cancer by now if not for my vape stick. :D

    Building an atomizer is fun too and the vape it produces is devine!

    It mostly allows you to hit much harder without hurting your hands and without superficial damages stopping a fight. Chances on ending a fight by knocking someone out and causing internal damages hence increases.
