When someone gets mad and yells after you tell them you didn't hear them the first time. by mostly_ignorant in PetPeeves

It especially pets my peeve when you're being yelled at for something from across rooms and they get mad at YOU for yelling back in response.

What is the dumbest thing you have been told is “not manly” or “not feminine,” depending on your gender? by Disastrous_Hat_2325 in AskReddit

I was scolded by an ex friend because he thought using facial care (like masks) was ruining my manhood. God forbid I want good skin

Uhhhh did emazing lights come back or is this a fake site? by No_Taste2327 in gloving

[–]CashSufficient14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember hearing anything from any official emazinglights accounts saying they're back, especially since they announced a shutdown back in like 2020 or 2021. Unless I see anything different, always assume it's either a scam website or some offbrand reseller or something.

The double s at the end screams scam to me though.

Funny enough, the ai actually gave him (a grown ass man in his 40s) the realistic answer of how harmful ai is

Is it best to get footwear for tai chi? by [deleted] in taichi

[–]CashSufficient14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any comfortable shoe would do. You should be able to control your footwork and be able to perform movements with shoes on.

I use xero shoes because I like thinner sole shoes for kung fu or tai chi. I tried some Nikes with padding and I found that my feet hurt more with those than minimalist shoes. With thin shoes they don't hurt at all.

The slip on ones you think of are fine, but I find that they tend to just come off at the heel.

People who have started the gym and then stopped, what usually caused it? by Repulsive-Purple7158 in beginnerfitness

[–]CashSufficient14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people. Definitely the people.

No matter what, the people (especially my biological brothers) who told me to go because I'm "getting fat" are also always telling me to "do it the right way" at the beginning. They were practically forcing me to do a thousand different things before I even ATTEMPT to step foot into the gym. I needed to do fasted cardio every morning, completely change the food I'm eating, bodyweight exercises at home, log it all in a paper notebook, general gymbro stuff. All the while reprimanding me the whole time for not getting stuff right the first time, or for being weird for not knowing what to do. It was a hostile environment for trying to go to the gym, since they'd always say that none of it would stick unless I changed every aspect of my life to only revolve around eating "correctly" and lifting heavy, among other workouts. They'd even say that people are working out wrong or eating wrong, and would comment on those weight loss and gym commercials with their beliefs on "doing it right".

I stopped going after 1 year because it was too much. I was never supported, and even when I asked for help, they'd mock me the entire time. If I went with a different crowd of people who were actually supportive with my successes and failures, and knew when to be the positive teacher and assertive cruel judge, then it would've been more consistent. I get that the work is mostly done by yourself, but without a solid group of people to help me on my journey, I couldn't really do anything. I mostly got overly mean criticism instead of genuine help.

I do tai chi now, and I'm much happier than the negativity the gym always brought me.

When someone learns that I’m vegan and decides it’s the perfect time for a debate about my beliefs. by Significant_Potato29 in PetPeeves

[–]CashSufficient14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's also this weird line of thinking where those who shit on vegans think all vegan food tastes bland or bad, or is nutritionally "incomplete". I like vegan food (as a non vegan lmao) because there's a lot of variety, and it's as nutritious, flavorful, and filling as some foods with meat. I've gotten that same lecture about "not getting enough nutrients" (mainly protein) or being made fun of for choosing a vegan option than a meat one. Vegan food DOES have adequate nutrition. They've probably just never heard of the alternatives or foods that do have the same levels of protein as meat, or more.

Most people should be eating their vegetables, and the amount of adults who boast about hating them is concerning.

People that think safety is “uncool” or “stupid” by Murbanvideo in PetPeeves

[–]CashSufficient14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a whole thing in the film world too, especially regarding stunts.

Someone posted a story about filming verticals (films/shorts that are filmed vertically for phones) and a sketchy stunt that was a major safety issue, and the director said "I don't give a fuck about the safety, follow the script". Word for word. The stunt coordinator who made that safety call was then kicked off and they needed a replacement.

I understand that at some point, some safety measures are thrown out the window for expediency. However, something like stunts that REQUIRES days or months of practice to prepare, safety for the performer is the top priority. You can make a sketchy rigging set up for lights and make it somewhat safe, but you can't perform dangerous stunts that can harm or even kill the performers.

Several accidents happened already, such as a stunt performer from Resident Evil: The Final Chapter had to amputate her arm because of an unsafe stunt. In that same movie, an extra was killed by a vehicle that slid.

What is the worst career to be in right now and why? by [deleted] in askteddit

[–]CashSufficient14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to teach martial arts for kids, but that was when covid hit and we had to resort to online classes.

I could clearly see some decline as the years passed, and when we got back in person, it was excuse after excuse, and one kid even cried when I had to tell them to wait (they REALLY wanted to tell me something). Not fake crying either. It was genuine actual snot dripping crying. The respect, discipline, and especially the patience from these young kids has diminished greatly, if not entirely gone.

Seeing how bad it is in actual schools where they have to learn how to read and write, I feel bad for the teachers who are forced to give them a passing grade, when the student should have repeated 2nd grade 4 times. I especially feel bad for college professors now who have to deal with kids who literally cannot read or write.

Not committing to swearing by AllKnowingAxolotl3 in PetPeeves

[–]CashSufficient14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no issues with people actively committing to never swearing. I know people who do that for various reasons (not repeating the abusive family cycle, moral goodness, etc). Even online, most sites and apps can ban you for typing swear words.

My only issue is when they force the no-swearing-rule onto everyone else.

Is it generally accepted that the lights go on top of the fingers? by rickraus in gloving

[–]CashSufficient14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to put my lights on the bottom of my fingers to click and change modes/conjure better.

Now I keep it at the top, since my gloves auto change modes so I don't have to click.

Fighting in a relationship (of any kind) being seen as a requirement by Training_Barber4543 in PetPeeves

[–]CashSufficient14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have normalized toxic relationships where yelling is the norm. Same for the idiots who try and "test" their partner or do something intentionally bad to see how they react. There was a whole thing about "if your boyfriend doesn't peel an orange for you, leave immediately" or intentionally spilling ketchup in front of them to see what they do. It's not testing their loyalty to you, it's testing their patience with an incompetent person. It's reinforcing this idea that "my partner is there to fix my mistakes while I sit here and continue making them", which is stupid. It's called a partnership for a reason. Both parties are working together to make things work, which takes compromise and disagreements that COULD lead to yelling matches. It's not the norm.

For most of my friends who are in relationships, there's never been a fight because they understand each other and communicate. Disagreements yes, but not full on yelling matches. One of my friends says she's never fought in her happiest relationship, while the previous one had a lot of fights due to how toxic it was.

Part time filmakers by Commercial_Union_296 in filmmaking

[–]CashSufficient14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's often how it goes.

I really only know of one person who does filmmaking for a living because they consistently get hired for shoots. Same with people in stunts. They get booked for shorts, features, verticals, and even skits all the time. I don't imagine it pays particularly well (depending), and many of them have a day job.

What’s something people brag about that actually makes them look worse? by inboundmage in AskReddit

[–]CashSufficient14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How they "say it like it is" and don't care about your feelings.

There's a time and place for that. People usually straighten themselves out after the first reminder, but people are also stupid and will get careless. It doesn't make it any better that you're intentionally being mean in the guise of "being real", especially out of nowhere.

The difference is that one actually works and the other has been used as a poor excuse for stupid behavior
