"several centuries" ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Since the US hasn't existed for "several centuries", and only the 1st half of that existence included slavery, not the 2nd half.....and that, at that time, the entire population might have qualified as a total of "many millions" does that mean you are acknowledging then the centuries of slavery by africans on africans as the true source of your crapulence? Or are you upset with the ancient Egyptians who enslaved pretty much any race they could get their hands on? ...

When I'm in a skydive, it's the ONLY thing I'm doing. I'm there 100%, no side thoughts or distractions. I'm completely in the moment. I get the same thing in martial arts and rock climbing. But it's different as there are others there too sharing that same thing. I'm easily distracted in about every other thing I do, like here at work, I sometimes can't seem to stay o ...

did you read JD's point about how cries of racism as a PC beating stick drowns out an interesting and also important discussion about free speech but I'm not cynical about politics seems most laws today are attempts to fix one wrong with another wrong - and work attempting to improve acceptance and diversity is all really based on conformance - I wonder how long we can go down that road too........ but I'm not cynical about politics ...

I get what you are trying to do and think you have some good points. Nothing personal, I'm just gigging on the stock text in the background of the post. "the populace as a whole is sometimes incapable of the rational adult thought" "We've come a long way from my Grandfather's world, but we've got a long way yet to go." It's pretty much the rallying cry for the elitists to rationalize their political power grabs. It would be nice to allow free thought and choice and admire the individual, but.....welllllll.........you know ...

Pretty much, "I'm smarter than everyone else, and when everyone is as smart as me and agrees with my philosophies, the government should control the dummies.

I start by giving anyone the benefit of the doubt - sure, some are just stroking their own ego. But I think most people are just trying the share what they've heard and done because we all want to help each other. So I'll try most advice from people just because I'll find out if it helps me in the air or not. (unless the advice just plain doesn't follow the laws of physics and aerodynamics). Sometimes the oddest useful tidbits of advice come from the most unlikely people. You find out quickly who gives good advice vs bullshit. I'm lucky in FF - I only have a few hundred FF jumps out of my total (getting there though) - so I pretty much suck at it all the time. But I think that's true in all the disciplines - there's always a ton to learn. ...

excerpts above - this would be much simpler for the employee, I consider tips just a means of begging - people should be payed up front based on an agreement for services rendered. for the employer - I consider tips just a means of passing on the 'true' cost of employment as an additional unadvertised cost to the customer good employees should be paid per contract, bad employees should be fired - if it happens enough, employees will improve their service to maintain the job - if it happens enough, good employees will also be more proactive in insisting on other service things - like the employer should wash the jumpsuits more often (example) ...

What signals are you getting during the dive from your instructors? Normally, in the tunnel I give 3 signals to just about everybody new at one time or the other - and in this order: 1 - knees closer together (the hip joint can't arch well if the knees are spread too much - happens more to women than men, I don't know why) - shoulder width is ok as a max spread 2 - arch 3 - chin up then "relax" I had one student that just refused to close the knees - he was an expert at potato chipping. We'd (my coaches) would walk around and FORCE his knees together - he'd then be able to arch and smooth out - the second he felt slightly uncomfortable - BAM wide legs and he was all over the place. I spent a lot of tunnel time trying to break his habit. He's better now, but has to stay on it for a while until it becomes second nature. I don't know if this is your problem - again, what signals and advice are you getting from your instructors is most important you might just be trying too hard - take a deep breath, smile, exhale calmly and reset your body. But really, you should be getting very simple and specific body adjustment hand signals by Cat C. Should be quick, and you should be let go to LEARN. It's not hard, it's just getting the brain comfy in the environment so learning can take place with less stress. ...
