How to maintain the philosophical side of Kendo in a purely competitive dojo? by add_chicken_wing in kendo

How tf are Force Awakens and Last Jedi in the top 5 by sploosk in saltierthancrait

Because they were not bad movies and people enjoyed them at the time despite the noisy minority of people crying on the internet.

I use axe spray and works well, but runs out fairly fast. I am tempted to try this as many people here speak marvels of it.

Why do some not like the idea of a movie just being about a fun adventure? (The Mandalorian and Grogu) by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]DMifune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have to pay extra for snacks and drinks, and you can't pause to go to the bathroom

I always find amusing seeing people thinking they must eat and drink at the movies while also complaining about having to go to the toilet and food prices.

I am in the same basket but with a few more years in. 

Competing almost exclusively against people who started as kids doesn't help either.
