You learn the basics of this at least when you get forklift certified, but this video is a great demonstration!

not me getting emotional looking at a picture of my grandfather because I realized for the first time that his left eye is higher and deeper set than his right eye in the exact same way mine is, and it's a weird asymmetry that's always bothered me when looking at myself in pictures, but now it means that I'm like him

[beemovieerotica]

and here's a picture of him with a bazooka

1) your grandfather there looks like he’s on the military version of the Price is Right, modelling off the prize behind Door #1

2) “ #yes this is the same grandfather who was gaslit into joining the CIA “

 ??????????????????????????????????????????????????

ok so my great-grandparents moved to Hawaii before it became a state (so the Chinese Exclusion Act didn't apply) but it was still a territory and so my grandfather was born there as a U.S. citizen---when he was a teenager his dad took him to China as a kind of "get to know your roots" trip---but this coincided with Japan's invasion of mainland China during the Second Sino-Japanese War in which time they perpetrated a lot of war crimes---and my great-grandfather ended up "disappearing"---so my grandfather ended up orphaned and homeless in a foreign country---and he said "well, I probably should get a job" so he found his way to an American military base---the Americans were shocked that this ethnically Chinese, United States citizen, fluent in English, Mandarin, and some Cantonese just showed up on their doorstep---and instead of, you know, sending him safely back home to Hawaii where his 12 brothers and sisters still lived, they had this actual teenager start doing intelligence work for them---and he worked with a guy (unclear whether this man was also military) who promised, promised, promised that they would both find a way to Hawaii, but the second that their combined funds were enough for a ticket back, the guy stole all my grandfather's savings and vanished---so my grandfather ended up having to join the military permanently.

he was an incredibly funny guy, and for most of my childhood we'd meet up with him and my grandmother in Hawaii, and we'd visit the Starbucks that used to be the grocery store that his father owned, where he was actually born in one of the storage rooms, and we'd ask the baristas if they ever saw any ghosts there and they'd freak out and ask us how we knew about that.

every time we'd leave a restaurant this 70-year old, 5-foot-nothing Chinese man with probable dementia would turn out his pockets and show us the shit he stole from the restaurant we were literally just at while NONE of us noticed...and in retrospect, it was definitely the CIA training resurfacing after years of laying dormant. I miss him a lot.
