Its a short documentary not a clip. I have linked the video to a point in the documentary where the cleaner reflects on his job ( cleaning the belongings the death leave behind ) and who he thinks should do it and what purpose it serves. It made me think about leaving at least some of my belongings for those who cared for me to clean.

It unironically looks like they're having a good time though. Sigh.

"This is about honeybee or Apis Dorsata. This 'wave' is utilized against wasps and is referred to as 'shimmering' behavior or defense waving. Bees in the outer layer thrust their abdomens 90° in an upward direction and shake them in a synchronous way. This may be accompanied by stroking of the wings. The signal is transmitted to nearby workers that also adopt the posture, thus creating a visible, and audible 'ripple' effect across the face of the comb. These wave-like patterns repel wasps that get too close to the nests of these bees and serve to confuse the wasp. In turn, the wasp cannot fixate on capturing one bee or getting food from the bees' nest, so the wasp will seek to find easier prey and leave this nest alone."

We should try thrusting our abdomens up and shaking them in a synchronous way when hostile media come by the forum.

Or alternatively we could roast them alive.

One of the worst ways to CTB.

Beautiful clip. If only society was as accepting as ctb as his dad was of his son, we wouldn't have to SNEAK either.

This guy is widely considered the greatest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner of all time (also one of the most attractive). At 3:27 he does some crazy stomach exercises.

Wow, I've never heard of "Sky King" before. Thanks for sharing.

No problem man. Happy to share this video wherever I can. He learnt how to fly a plane thanks to his job. Just so he could ctb in the most liberating free way possible... It's kind of inspirational in a fucked up morbid way. To be so free before killing yourself; I recommend looking up the full story when you have the time.
