I like stick. It's more fun. And easier to push start and get out of snow when you get stuck.

easier to push start

It’s such a rare occurrence where that would be needed it doesn’t really make sense as a point to me.

Sure, stick is more fun, but it just doesn’t really make sense to have with how modern cars are made. Hell, most cars don’t even come with stick anymore.

And those people should be called out for being sexist. Equality, if she’s on the field, she’s fair game.

Now if someone cheap shots her, I could see there being more backlash than a normal cheap shot.

You are correct, I agree with everything you’re saying.

But the reality is that’s just not how things work.

That's the rational way to look at it, and I agree with you. You should expect to get hit and I'm sure the player would agree. But I highly doubt that's how the media would look at it

Also, would a player make sure they don’t hit her? I’d be afraid someone would treat her different and hold up, causing other unrelated problems (big plays, penalties, etc)

Edit: this is based on experience from a guy that got hurt (torn meniscus) in high school when avoiding doing this to a girl kicker on the other team

If she did it correctly I bet she wouldn’t make it.

Shouldn’t be downvoted. She kicked this FG as if it was a kickoff.

I’d like to see her kick it with the proper footing.

It’s impressive regardless, but to act like she could be an NFL kicker is premature.

If they could, they would. We have a humanitarian crisis.

How feasible is moving? Like for people living in Venezuela right now, is leaving even really an option?

Edit: leaving legally

They do, but I personally would much rather move to Spain or France for example. I like Europe a lot better.

Also Canada is a better option for me

I’m sure I already know a few reasons why, but why are your personal reasons?

Most videos like this of some really cool but unnecessary trick have an Asian, usually a young Asian male, in it.

Example include tie tying, shirt folding, bottle tossing, chugging vodka with slug while smoking, trash cleaning, and more

average person doesn't care about everyday politics, but they would react when part of China tries to secede. Unification is key of Chinese nationalism, just like freedom in US patriotism. In our history, politicians who cause division of China is the uttermost sinners of Chinese people. There is no way people would support such independence, unless we cease to see us as Chinese.

Ironic considering Mao Zedong literally led a revolution that kicked the Chinese Government off of the mainland and into Taiwan.

Why is a figure like him so deeply respected while the independence movements of Taiwan and Hong Kong are so looked down upon? Are Taiwan and Hong Kong not just simply following his lead?

After becoming leader of China, Mao didn't suck up to foreign countries, that and his support for peasants is basically what makes him more popular than all Chinese leaders during the century of humiliation.

China suffered heavily in WW2, but only a few years after WW2, Communist China fought the US to a stalemate in Korea, the drastic difference make the Republic of China government look very incompetent.

If the ROC stayed in power then China would have been an allied power of the US and Western World. It would likely be as modern and as nice as South Korea, Japan Taiwan, and Hong Kong right now. In 1945 the US offered to allow China to lead the Occupation of Japan but he declined saying he instead wanted the West to invest in China.

The West agreed but were unable to contribute last ‘47 due to the revolution.

Only a mere 10 years after the revolution nearly 40 million Chinese died, including my fiancee’s grandfather, because of policies that Mao out in place.

To also suggest that Mao cared about the peasants and didn’t suck up to foreign powers is laughable because he literally sacrificed millions upon millions of peasants to appease the Soviet Union. China owed the USSR some serious debt and way paying it in large part with wheat and grains. Mao took the rural distributions of these items and instead gave them to the USSR. This is where his famous quote “if half of them must die so the other half can live then so be it” came from.

The fact that Mao is so widely supported and praised, hell, I saw a handful of new statues for him throughout the area my last trip, is beyond my understanding.

China would be significantly more advanced and developed if Mao never kicked the ROC out. I mean, look at Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are lightyears beyond the majority of China. Never once will I have to shit in a trench in Taiwan, but take me away from The Tier 1 or 2 cities in China? It’s the Third World and no more developed than Haiti or Niger.
