Epic WTF

I also never considered it supplicatory or belittling; that’s two knees. You can stand to fight quickly from one knee, not so from two.
...
I’ve always suspected the UK establishment uses ‘bending the knee’ as opposed to taking a knee because the former sounds much more like prostrating before royalty...

Well, yes, so the one-knee pose does have more supplicatory/belittling context in monarchic societies.

NB I'm not criticising it any way. Just interested in the cultural context/readings.

Agreed, although tbh I always thought honour recipients were required to kneel more deeply, and on both knees. Perhaps the pic is a more modern way of bending the knee?

The averted gaze and lowered head in your pic also convey submission. In sports you just keep your gaze and head normal, which conveys a different body language. If it’s a truly awful injury then yeah people will cry, avert their eyes, put their head down...

The possible subliminal impact of ‘bend the knee’ vs. ‘take a knee’ are also interesting to me. I suspect They (politicians) know there’s difference in the meaning, even if the physical action is similar or the same. I suspect they purposely choose to use the former in order to conflate both actions in the public discourse.

What’s going on with Bezo’s spaceship looking like a giant penis? Did nobody step back and say “uh, sir, I think your rocket looks like a [insert Austin Powers Johnson scene]”?

Given he's a massive cock, presumably that's where they got their inspiration.

The reason I was in this thread was this, there are reports that Belarussian authorities are organising the crossing of Iraq immigrants into Lithuania to try and create a migrant crisis for the EU:

£10, that's an absolute bargain.

Carrots are tough,

You might as well muff.

Pretty mild bosozoku-style van. There are some absolutely batshit examples out there.

Bloody hell, you are right!!! Never heard of that before, but if you do a google image search of 'bosozoku style van' it churns out some truly fucked up vehicles.

Just when you thought you understood the universe...

Edit - Maybe called vanning?

There's one lurking in Brockley...

started off as a motorbike thing, there are some wild bikes with jacked up front ends and big backrests.
