they should invent a disproportionate emotional response that goes away when you rationally understand the cause

they hate us control freaks for making sure everyone else does things the correct way

When you pick up a sword for the first time you will be slow and awkward. This is frustrating, but refuse the temptation to try and become a “faster” fencer. Chasing after speed is like trying to catch smoke. If you try and pursue speed, all you will accomplish is haste. Haste is the enemy of 1st class fencing.

Speed is a lie the untrained mind tells itself when it sees an action it cannot follow. The truth is a combination of timing, control, and fluidity. Fluid motion, even done slowly, will always arrive before a hasty strike. Control will allow you to move without wasteful motion that will slow you down. Timing will eliminate the need to move fast almost entirely. There is no need to get somewhere fast so long as you get there at the right time.  

Tip for mymutuals who engage in bladed armed combat

This is true for plenty of other things too!! When you’re learning anything that involves moving your body, don’t forget that quality of movement is more important than speed!

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast

THEYRE LYING JUMP AT YOUR OPPONENT JUMPSCARE JUMPSCARE BACK FOOT FORWARD AND LEAP AT THEM!!

send them to HELL!!!

“your nipples are showing” ok? say thank you

My account is still blocked from searching/tags/etc on my business blog @foundfamilyadventurecrafts so I'm posting this here. There's something very bad happening with Small Business, Tech, and Amazon. What else is new?

Hey, that's us and a bunch of our friends! This whole thing SUCKS so bad and we're pissed. We've intentionally not listed our products on Amazon for the 15 years we've been in business. We're ready to join a class action lawsuit and kick some ass.

Friday makes really good tea, both just by the flavors and as reflections of fandoms. I absolutely LOVE my Second Breakfast (hobbits) and General's Jasmine (Uncle Iroh).

Go check out the Friday Afternoon Tea website DIRECTLY if you want to support them - and if you, unlike me, are in Seattle, go visit the brick-and-mortar store!

And boycott Amazon.

how it all feels lately

ID: a review of Grounded, titled "deaf gamer review", which says "thank you, you have no idea how much it means to me being able to see my kids words on screen as they talk into a mic. i only wish other game helped me out a little. but SEEING "RUN mom a spiders chasing you" made me feel included, even though i died." end ID

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

he didn't even get to stand *trial*. because he's autistic. he's in an institution for life for hacking while autistic, without trial.

hey yall remember this

the annoying thing about weightlifting is that you have to lift weights that are a little too heavy for you if you want to get stronger. and you have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to keep building muscle. fucked up.

thank god this same principle doesnt apply to any other skill you want to improve at! that would really suck.

really and truly honored that my post about a simple little slurp one can have has made it this far

“I have two literature degrees and no words”

The next stop in forcefem is, of course, forceplural. More girls per girl.

I cannot stress enough that I genuinely actually believe people would order doordash during The Purge. I know I speak hyperbolically a lot of the time because I'm fun and charming like that but I am 100% serious literally actually serious but I believe that people would order doordash during The Purge.

I have made some memes to commemorate the day

Idk who has to hear this today but sometimes the devil doesn’t need an advocate. Sometimes the devil is already winning

Saying this as a recovered devil’s advocate btw, that bitch didn’t need my help he just wanted the exposure

this is a message to all babytrans. you may come across a subreddit or maybe even a 4chan board that is made up entirely of the most miserable trans people you’ve ever met. they have their own lingo borrowed straight from incel communities. but instead of being an incel where cishet men tell each other that women will never want to fuck them because of 2 mm of browbone, it’s trans women telling each other that they will never be a woman because of 2 mm of browbone. it’s trans men calling other trans men pooners for having a round face instead of a chiseled gigachad jawline. but they swear it’s not a toxic community because they’re all hiding under several layers of irony, so you can never really tell if someone is being serious. and it’s very important that you never visit these forums, even out of morbid curiosity

since this post is making rounds i feel like resharing this for no reason in particular
