Do Pro Fighters Have To Register Their Hands As Weapons?
(photo by Detroit Golfer)
They don’t. The idea that professional boxers, or any other martial artists/combat athletes for that matter, are required to “register their hands as lethal weapons”, is a complete myth.
It’s a silly boast that some fighters use to exaggerate their own ability.

(photo: ResoluteSupportMedia)
Pros:
Three hots and a cot. Top grade training in whatever technical discipline you choose, assuming you score well on the ASVAB.
Decent pay. You won’t get rich, but if you use the brain your parents gave you and don’t exceed your means, you can save a bit of money and live a decent life.
Travel opportunity I lived in 6 different countries. I saw/visited 19 more. Spent time in 27 US states

10 Survivors Of Childhood Abuse Reveal How It Has Affected Their Lives
1. When I was 11 or 12ish, I was abused by this disgusting monster of a man who I saw as a role model I could trust. He was one of those people who would always be suspiciously, unnaturally polite to people, and being around kids, nobody batted an eye.
I was called into his office in response to me acting out in school and from there i don’t remember much, but the abuse that occured then shaped the rest of my life. (this man went to jail later for a few years for filming young boys in the shower naked at a local school where he volunteered as a basketball coach, but is now FREE… and no accusers have come forth about anything else)

What the ACE Quiz Tells Us About Childhood Trauma and Healing
The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Quiz has become a widely recognized tool for assessing the impact of early life trauma on long-term health and well-being. Developed through a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Kaiser Permanente in the 1990s, the ACE study revealed a profound connection between childhood adversity and a wide range of physical, mental, and social problems in adulthood. However, while the ACE Quiz provides valuable insights, it’s crucial to understand what it does and doesn’t mean.

How Would Japan Have Fared in a Fight, Had the US Landed on Mainland Japan in WW2?
Imagine for a moment, the cataclysmic collision that never came to pass—an American invasion of mainland Japan in late 1945. It’s a chapter of history we narrowly avoided, but the shadow of what might have been lingers ominously. How would Japan have fared? To put it bluntly: Japan would have lost, and it would have been a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions for both sides. The ferocity of such a conflict could have scorched the very essence of Japanese culture, leaving ruins in its wake.
“I am 65, male, and a virgin.”
I know that this will sound like an “incel”/”nice guy” rant (is that what they call it nowadays?), but I guarantee you that it isn’t. I look decent for my age, am physically fit, I am very social (I go to different meetups 2-3 times per week plus golfing with my buddies on weekends), have put in a lot of effort into dating, and have a lot of hobbies. I do woodworking crafts, I love to read, I golf, and am very active politically. I have worked on the campaigns for several congressmen and senators in my area. On weekends, I volunteer at an animal shelter or a local VA hospital. My friends would describe me as a very amiable, social person. I have probably asked out about 50+ women throughout my life, in real life or on dating sites.
