Hey all of a sudden I've got an idea how the US could go back to being a premiere tourist destination again...

In a similar situation. I can see it coming though, because it turns out I have a very unattractive neck line. So for now it's stache, clean cheeks, and neck beard. Not ideal but it kinda gives me a Muskateers vibe, which I think is cool.

I've always had at least a goatee, but I yearn for the stache only life.

Also want to cut my long hair for something shorter and easier to wear in the heat, but that notion has proven extremely unpopular with the people in my life, so it's been on hold for a while.

Classes are definitely a good way to start - having somebody there to show you the stuff that doesn't make sense at first, and more importantly to correct your slight mistakes and emphasize the parts you should be focusing on.

I think classes are great for yoga in particular because after you've done 5 or 6 sessions, you'll have enough knowledge to just do it at home in your own, and make good use of those YouTube videos.

If you have an IRL friend that knows some stuff, they might be able to get you most of the way there. The stuff you need to learn is mostly pretty basic, just about breathing and grounding your feet and lengthening muscles and stuff like that.

As for videos, look for stuff with beginner, stretching, follow along, etc. You'll still get a lot of benefit doing some of that stuff even without guidance, but I'd say you'll get about 70% effectiveness at best without a good foundation.

As for the spiritual stuff, yeah there's plenty of that if you want it, but it's easy to avoid and rarely very pushy. Personally, the only part I take from that aspect, is that the end of a long session in 'corpse pose' (lol, basically just lying flat on your back) is a really fantastic time for some mindfulness meditation. The rest is w/e.

So glad they are independent again. I just hope they find some way to get Jeff back on board, either long term or at very least as a regular guest.

Plenty of us bought it as a joke!

"haha check it out guys, I just bought an expansion pack for a single player game that cost $2. This is gonna blow up in their faces so hard."

And it did blow up in their faces - which is to say a minor PR dip wisped past them and then a huge pile of minimal-effort cash blew up into their faces.

So that is to say, I'm sorry future generations. We thought it would turn out funnier than this. :(

Betcha it'll improve the bottom line of some contractor that's had dinner with the governor in the last week.

Sure looks like they're planning to "transition" them alright, but as in "transition the state of their compositional matter into ash and vapor" them.

Oof, it's even the perfect shade of orange, the kind that evokes extreme citrus flavor. Crush orange soda levels of orange. Beautiful!

Shame that awesome cars are so often owned by awful people. Should get the exact same one and convert it to fuel cell just to spite him. ;P

Tbf, that was 2015, and also those guys are well known for making some of the most terminally goofy music out there.

It's nice that they're wearing gloves for the final throwdown. Wouldn't want anybody's lil knuckies getting hurt when deciding the fate of the material realm.

Dude can't even manage to look cool wearing a bulletproof vest in a warzone and working on cybernetic brain implants.
