These are the voyages of the Rant blog "Silence". Its five year mission, to explore strange new words - to seek out new wit and new cynicisms. To trenchantly go where no man - no one, has gone before...
The best way I’ve heard submission described was at M/s conference in 08. Submission is not following your Master. It is preceding him, clearing the path, and reporting back to him on any pitfalls or problems you see ahead. It is trusting him, to guide and navigate, to keep you safe. The most common way I’ve heard Dominance described uses words that I wouldn’t use to describe a dog. Especially today – there are a LOT of anti-Dominant posts, and a lot of “Submissives Deserve XYZ” posts. But one thing I’ve almost never heard…what do Dominants deserve? Where is our "10" list? 1. Know your Responsibilities. Dominants have responsibilities. We hear a LOT about that in our community. We have the responsibility to be forgiving and understanding. We have the responsibility to be strong and independent. We have the responsibility to be wise and patient, and to be controlled and in control of ourselves and our partners. We have to...
A knee across the neck will not (except for very rare circumstances, or circumstances involving deliberate impact, not simple pressure) cause death. The death in Minneapolis was NOT caused by a knee on the neck. It was caused by positional asphyxiation. They are two different things. They are two very technically different things, and the differences are fairly technical and specific. But they are also fairly simple - and extremely important. Because you can say you "accidentally" put a knee on the "wrong part" of the back, and it slipped onto the neck. You can NOT say that you left a man, face down, chest muscles seized due to skeletal-muscular constriction/positioning, for seven and a half minutes..."accidentally". One, a knee on the neck, can be claimed to be bad training, or an accident. The other, positional asphyxiation, is murder. Plain. Simple. Murder. When you handcuff the hands behi...
I am not white. Voting the way I do doesn't change that I'm Native, and the son of hundreds of generations of the People. Please stop saying that I voted the way I did because I'm "just another white guy". I am not "hetero". I am a sadist. I don't care what tackle it has, as long as it whimpers, moans and cries. (Maybe bleeds, a little.) I am not "bigoted". I'm not even sure what I'm supposedly bigoted about (nobody will answer my questions on that), but I'm pretty sure I'm too laid back and uninvolved to be bigoted. I am not "imperialist". My people are still living in poverty. And proud of it, when the other choice is taking government handouts. I am not a "rich capitalist pig". I'm a cop, and believe me - we're nowhere near rich. Most of us are just barely making it, supporting a family. I am not a "cis-gendered" individual who is "privileged" ...
