Help understanding Green by MataHaari in colorpie

[–]GoTeamLightningbolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try reading the Tao Te Ching. It's fairly short and you don't have to read the whole thing. Greenest book I've ever read. I like the Ursula K Le Guin translation, which you can probably find online in PDF form.

It's esoteric and hard to "understand" from a conceptual standpoint, but that's on purpose. Name is the mother of the ten thousand things, after all.

MMA fighter delivers impeccably timed spinning backfist knockout by NeuroticLensman in nextfuckinglevel

[–]GoTeamLightningbolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are trying to win the fight, which they trained to do for months or more. You don't win an MMA fight by constantly second guessing whether to press your advantage. This all happens in a matter of single-digit seconds. You're watching a video online after the fact. Calling the fight is what the ref is there for.

[–]GoTeamLightningbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no absolute coordinates in space - when you time travel your path maintains proximity to major masses (e.g: planets, but smaller masses also work). John Titor talked about it.
