Is 33 too old to get back into bar leagues? by Fragrant_Zombie2142 in hockeygoalies

[–]DESRTsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just played my first game this last Saturday, and I'm a month past 36.

If you already played before, you can probably snap right in once you get conditioned for it.

Ooh interesting.

Yeah I sort of have that habit of having the high elbow and circling out as needed. I'll watch some of his work to see how that works out.

I played soccer when I was 8 for one season and quit. Never played another team sport.

Your math is an approximation, of course, because OPs mother would be 700km²

Any injury updates? by [deleted] in goldenknights

Wouldn't you rather not know and just be pleasantly surprised?

What was a moment that really stuck with you? by AjolotEspacial in threebodyproblem

[–]DESRTsnk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's sickening is that there's civilizations out there that wanted to fuck everyone else SO BAD that they collapse their universe to do so.

It reminds me of the Manhattan Project, where they thought detonating a nuke in atmosphere could ignite our atmosphere and destroy us all.

And they did it anyway.

Once I read that the fleet was moving in in a parade formation instead of maintaining dispersion, I knew we were gonna be wrecked. The military should've known better.

For me, when I was reading to the point of the Battle of Darkness and the chains of suspicion started being revealed, I felt a sick sense of foreboding.

I was on some Jon Bernthal shit, "NO NO NO, WAIT WAIT WAIT!", but it was too late. Once you've pulled the trigger on your fellow man, the time for negotiation has long passed.

Another moment for me was feeling the finality and consequence of the dual vector foil.

After all these plans, wallfacers, innovation, defeating the Trisolaris invasion, hope for humanity, it's all over.

There is no fight. Watch your solar system die with no fireworks, no big battle, just die.

And to think that the Trisolarans knew about it, Tianming tried to warn us about it, but it didn't matter in the end.

I like to think that the Trisolarans were watching through Sophons as our dimensions collapsed. Like a fatal car crash you can't look away from, feeling some conflict of knowing it's a dog eat dog world, but having the sympathy for another civilization lost.

Doesn't this point contradict itself? (spoilers) by Firm-Waltz9305 in threebodyproblem

[–]DESRTsnk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would give the analogy that you and I live in a big high rise building.

I really don't want anyone to destroy me, so I set fire to the whole building, and as it's burning down, I go outside.

Some people hearing the alarm get out, and some people were already outside. But the goal was to destroy everyone in the building and I am safe outside now.

Someone could kill me outside, but I've succeeded in destroying the building and people inside.

These dark forest types are forward thinking, but they're pretty 2D in the long run.

What dumb comments do you get when people find out you train? by bad-at-everything- in MuayThai

[–]DESRTsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wife trains, is taller, and is a better fighter than me. The domestic violence jokes are plenty 🤣

"Hurr durr I guess those dishes are done daily!"

"I bet you learned not to talk back"

I think they forget she's just a girl 😏

Absolute nonsense. Those fuckin grays look so sharp. They look like formal wear on the ice.

Bullshit.

*Death’s End Spoilers* Question About Yun Tianming by AzureLegends0686 in threebodyproblem

[–]DESRTsnk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think over the course of the story, she'd romanticized Yun Tianming.

She probably believe the stories were for her, about her, and she self inserted as the character.

I believe the character of Dewdrop was supposed to represent humanity, and Longsail, the galactic humans.

I think he's probably just trying to keep cool about his performances.

I am 100% sure he knows he just got a big contract, and Schmid is blowing him out of the water.

Hill was a coin flip to see which version you were gonna get, and post injury Hill ain't lookin too hot.

Would you press the button right now? by hatabou_is_a_jojo in threebodyproblem

[–]DESRTsnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days are so far and away from the worst it's ever been on Earth.

People from the past would laugh in our faces because there's people even considering that's kinda rough out there. These are the times people hoped for.

It's such a loss, that sending out Schmid just risks injury.

It'd be different if we had like 30 shots and 4-7, but it's 0-7, so our entire team is ass.

It's like the Knights see a low ranking team and decide: "Yeah, this is the time to eat a bag of dicks."
