Woz U is coming:

Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs, is launching a new online tech education platform he's calling Woz U, which is designed to promote technology jobs and the skills required to enter the industry. Over time, Wozniak hopes to expand the initiative to include as many as 30 physical locations around the world and courses on everything from software engineering and information technology to mobile app development and cybersecurity, among others. It's unclear whether courses will be offered for free, or whether Woz U plans on charging for any element of the online education platform. The website does not say.

Woz U also offers access to tech companies interested in using the tools and resources provided to recruit and train employees. The platform will be available to students K-12 through partnerships with school districts too. Down the line, Woz U wants to offer one-on-one instruction to students and, later on, to offer its own accelerator program for prospective startup founders. The overall goal is to increase interest in what Woz U calls STEAM careers, or science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, with the addition of arts presumably a nod to Wozniak's role at Apple and fellow co-founder Steve Jobs' lifelong mission to blend technology with the humanities.

    Benjamin Netanyahu,

    Ugh. He can come and give a talk about how Ameritards need to fund Israel for eternity and why the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement is not a protest but a literal Holocaust.

    And you as a student can earn an A+ in your scathing critique.

    When I was in karate many years ago, my sensei told me that when he attended sessions training under the grand master in Japan, the grand master would randomly walk up to his karatekas and drop them on the spot for no reason. The dropped karateka would then rise up and then both would bow to each other and the session would resume.

    In other words, you must have the discipline to learn from certain situations rather than let them troll you. Of course we are imperfect human scum but we can be taught mental discipline without having to be randomly dropped to the floor. When I was in karate it was a cool experience during sparring because the sensei would deliberately put people out of their comfort-zones. Pitting kids against monstrous adults, boys against girls, boys against women. I remember as a kid getting my ass kicked by a woman because I kept looking at her tits. She kept yelling at me to look at her face (proper technique) motioning upward with her hand. I also fought against a girl my age, and accidentally kicked her in the tit which caused her to cry. Felt like total shit, because you ladies know that getting hit in the tit is like when men get hit in the balls. Actually later dated that girl, she sucked my dick in the bushes one time.

      Mmm... I'd say 50%. So not fun but not incapacitating. Funny bone is worse than a hit to the boobs but not as bad as a nut shot.

        You don't even have a funny bone, so what do you know about all this?

      Literally, or figuratively?

      Good luck with an entire generation of candy assed whiny babies.

      So, you kicked her titless, dragged her out in the bushes, and demanded that she give you head? No wonder there are so many Azuma Hakumis in the world.

      I picked a cute lady. I pulled her toward me, intending to toss her somewhere. I fell on my ass, and she fell on top of me... nice if not for the knee on my balls.

      **CRUNCH**

      full weight, pretty much

      At a guess, I'd say it probably hurts almost equally for men and women to be kicked in the groin. The nerves may not all connect to the same structures, but it's a nerve-rich environment in either body. I'll stay with that presumption, until multiple women tell me that it doesn't hurt to be kicked in the groin area. The biggest difference is, a male's most sensitive parts protrude further, so make an easier target.
