In fairness to contact sports / martial arts, when done properly, they can be significantly less dangerous, teach discipline and respect, instill a sense of realism and proportionality regarding the application of violence, keep you in decent physical shape, provide your life with a routine structure, and provide some real world socializing/social group.
Many also come with some kind of a philosophy that stresses self defense and essentially a ‘duty to retreat’ mentality: violence is always the last resort.

Can confirm, every sensei I’ve had pushed this mentality constantly. The people who joined to “learn how to beat people up” never lasted very long when the first thing we’d teach is “how to run away”
Fuck off. Girls also like to go fast and literally flying. Seeing the pinnacle of flight engineering and human ability is enjoyable in the same ways as a car, tech, robotics, boats, trains, etc… Show or race. Weird thread of people wanting to be mad.
It’s not weird that people who have any ethics and a bit of context for what these things are used from can’t just separate the “cool technology” from their purpose and find them extremely distasteful.
Nothing outs a shit human faster than their use of memes that rely on negative stereotypes of the mentally challenged in an effort to insult their opponent. If you can’t craft an insult that doesn’t use a vulnerable section of humanity as the root, fuck off.
How’s the old saying go? Something along the lines of “the average person thinks they would be a genius if they were transported back to the Stone Age… But the average person wouldn’t even be able to build a toaster.”
Stfu, airshows and jets are fun to watch
See also: monster trucks, demolition derbies, fireworks, contact sports, and so much more. Wasteful and dangerous? Yep. Fun? Also yep.

They’re fun as fuck. Some of the best pics I have are from an air show! f35
^f35 doing a zooom!
F-22 for life lol, 2000s era Lockheed tincan doesn’t even look good after they threw all my tax money at it.
Designs should’ve never progressed past the F-104. Change my mind.
Nothing will top lawn dart and the slick F-86 haha
Air shows appeal to the male fantasy of being Tom Cruise / go really fast
Kickstart My Heart but you’re avoiding Air Defense in WW3

Saw the RedBull Air Race in NYC. Amazing stuff.
there are plenty of things which are fun to watch which didn’t involve spending billions of tax dollars on killing machines

Fucking hate it when I go to the air show and the plane sucks up my internal American flag spirit straight out of my mouth

If they were free and couldn’t kill anyone etc.
Relatively intriguing 6-foot-tall bipeds are able to travel through the air in such a manner
reminded of comic
Obviously not advocating for anything
Just “how’d humans engineer that! I couldn’t build a good bike!”
