[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Apart from the various forms of reality-fu, a style of karate called Go-Ju Ryu, meaning Hard-Soft Style. Admittedly I'm still working on the soft part, because it's much easier to punch someone's jaw in half than it is to move just so to hook someone else's punch in and get them off balance and break their knee in three moves.
Part of the thing though. Even though I'm a black belt you never stop learning, which is what I love about it.

You seem to have forgotten that you also dabble in Pragmatism-Fu.

[Xantalos]

Oh, that too. Truth be told it's where I learned quite a bit of pragmatism-fu as well.

Like always go for the testicles if you have the opportunity.
Well, and have to fight in the first place, last resort and all.

Right by my desk at work is the water cooler, a mini-fridge and a small stand.  The stand has the usual: paper plates, cups, coffee, plastic forks and knives...and a can of WD-40 that appeared out of nowhere.

I used to do a bit of Taekwondo.

Unfortunately, that means my limbs are now illegal. Damn.

Hey, sometimes when your food is a little rusty...

[Loud Whispers]

WD-40 works miracles, making rust croissants edible may be one of them.

Slowly put your weapon on the ground and take three steps back. Good, slow and calm does it...now get on your knees and put your hands on your head...OH CARP HE TOOK HIS WEAPON OFF THE GROUND OPEN FIRE OPEN FIRE!

Your workplace has also been infiltrated by the robot menace, eh? Fun times. There's a teacher around here who once abruptly stopped mid-lecture, left the room, and returned a few minutes later to dump a box full of batteries into the trash before resuming as if nothing had happened.

This paper that I'm reading for my communication class reads exactly like a parody of such papers. Half of any given page is citations, and the other half is really long-winded technobabble descriptions of things that could be said much simpler. It's not anything that needs heavy scientific language for any reason, but it seems intentionally written to conceal the underlying lesson.

Are teaching materials written like this so that educators feel like they're getting their money's worth?

Star Citizen has announced that it's 1st person shooter module will have permadeath.

Should be fun.

It's a communications class.  They are teaching you what not to do.

Or they are channeling Calvin & Hobbes.

It'll probably run into Duke nukem forever territory before it actually dies.
