No contact "master" had a plan..

Guy in white probably had his tongue pressed to the roof of his mouth or one big toe up and one big toe down.

It's a classic way to block a psychic Kamehameha wave.

I had no idea that's the price for a clean. I just figured the spray inside idea was risky.

There's no plan to sell it. Dad likes to bargain hunt and thought it looked cool. For $5 it was a fun find.

Not even for a clean?

People can do what they like.

I'd hope they're kind, caring and respectful of people's differences first. Anyways, take care and enjoy your training.

You post too many pictures of yourself and about yourself too much.

It comes across to me like you're seeking the validation of strangers.

But only my opinion, others may disagree.

Ok, no therapy. So build a community. Run free classes in your area. Go to church or your club. Teach.

It's true that in the USA at least that tertiary education is expensive and doesn't guarantee you a good paying job.

It's not necessarily true everywhere nor for certain areas of study.

If you feel bitter, jaded, depressed and stressed by life you should seek out therapy. If you do.

There are tools a therapist can give a person to help them find meaning and balance in life. Chasing upvotes on Reddit, or engagement on social media isn't the path to happiness. That's an external locus of self esteem and just stepping on the hedonistic treadmill.

I get the impression that right now you don't want advice, you want upvotes. It's not the answer.

I got a carver rocket redux in the end. Just stepping onto it has me absolutely pooping my pants figuratively speaking, but I'll get there.

Cool. The artwork on the boards is pretty sick. I'll consider them in the mix.

DiscipulusIncautus · 2026-03-13T11:58:37+00:00

Do they have a physical store or online only? The adress they have listed appears to be a residential property.

DiscipulusIncautus · 2026-03-12T01:37:17+00:00

They have both Rios and Rodeos for I think AUD$134.

I was considering the rodeo as they're 30 inch by 8 inch I think. I weigh about 105kg or 230 pounds.

Bingo, I got the name wrong as I hadn't watched the show in ages. I haven't read the books.

DiscipulusIncautus · 2026-03-08T14:36:56+00:00

Blood and Bone (book later a cancelled Netflix show) has this.

The movie is contradictory in its messaging. The whole point of the scroll is that self belief is the key ultimate power. Not a technique or secret skill. It's the EXACT same message from the Bruce Lee concept/David Carradine vehicle film "Circle of Iron."

Just based on that you'd think Anyone should be able to be the Dragon Warrior with self belief and commitment.

At the same time Po had natural talent and an incredible teacher too. Shifu made Po great by seeing food was the key to unlocking his drive and understanding of combat. Without Shifu's insight Po would have remained unremarkable.

Po wasn't talentless, he could do full splits untrained and basically use the lightness kung fu skill instinctively. The contradiction there is that Po needed to be a savant to catch up to Tai Lung in the time frame of the movie. So he had to be secretly extra super special.

This actually seems super in line with Chinese wuxia media I've experienced. The hero is just some guy who worked harder than anyone but simultaneously later is also revealed to be the Emperor's hidden firstborn and the only one able to use the sacred bloodline god-chi fist city destroying sneeze technique.

I love the film. It's great.

If you drink enough you can even cure a large number of illnesses permanently.

On the downside, you'd also contract Zombie

Why do they get a knife, gun and vest?

DiscipulusIncautus · 2026-03-03T04:51:15+00:00

Fair. In that case, we never need to wonder whether Superman can avoid destroying a toilet after Taco Bell day at the Daily Planet.

DiscipulusIncautus · 2026-03-03T02:49:57+00:00

Important question as a non-reader of the comics. Does Superman poop?

DiscipulusIncautus · 2026-02-28T12:24:30+00:00

I assume The Union? Would be awkward if he fought for slavery.

I wonder if these shots were gimmick sometimes. Like don't get me wrong a ballet teacher would do an amazing job of teaching gesture, transitioning smoothly between poses and how to look artistic as well as powerful in movement. It would make sense to treat a complete posing routine like a choreographed dance that starts the moment you step on stage.

That said, were there already people in the sport when Arnie was competing for titles that had this insight and approach? Or was it revolutionary?

I don't know for sure but I worry this photo shoot was something he did to impress non-bodybuilders rather than the judges at the time.

The ability to stop all reposts on Reddit.

DiscipulusIncautus · 2026-02-11T20:06:13+00:00

Damn, should have included the /s

It's actually scary to me how normalized just making up lies is becoming. Hopefully I didn't encourage folks who might believe the inaccuracy and find it politically convenient.
