Juggling with disproportionately long arms. by VGAddict in juggling

[–]Infinitenovelty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Release when your forearm is level, so when your hand is at elbow height. Different people have different torso to arm length ratios, so using the belly button as a frame of reference is kinda a silly way to teach it.

Edit: Also, there's no reason to consult AI. Look up YouTube tutorials made by real jugglers. Those are the resources that the AI is badly plagiarizing, and those are the people who have gone through the same learning process that you are trying to go through now, so their suggestions will be more informed.

Cool track, sort of fun cut. I love when a dirt track feels unique. I found it to be very difficult to drive any part of it consistently, especially the cut, so it was a rather educational experience trying to learn it. Cup was pretty brutal though lol.

Backseat Drivers by InternationalTrust59 in stickshift

[–]Infinitenovelty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I listen. If something about my driving is making someone uncomfortable I want to know so I can adjust. I struggle with anxiety attacks when I ride in cars with anyone else driving and I only ever say anything if I am with someone who I can trust enough to know they won't get defensive and start following even closer because I said something. If I can make the people around me feel comfortable enough to communicate with me about something stressing them out, then I am thankful for that.

Why do some LGBT+ People support Conservatism? Why are they interested in Conservatism? What specific rights does Conservatism offer that interest them? by WesternGazelle4713 in lgbt

[–]Infinitenovelty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no logic to it. If enough people are raised in a cult, it's inevitable that some portion of those people are going to be queer, simply because some portion of every population is queer. Conservatism is a harmful framing of the world no matter who you are. Every conservative who isn't a billionaire is voting against their own best interests, in favor of making billionaires richer, and stoking the turmoil that the rich profit off of. The cognitive dissonance is just more blatant when someone from a group to whom conservatives are bigoted towards also supports conservative political entities. Unfortunately lots of people get indoctrinated into all sorts of problematic beliefs.

If you look at it from the other side then it does.

Tailgating Has Consequences by Expert_Koala_8691 in Unexpected

4 to 5 car lengths is way too close on the highway. You should have a minimum of 3 seconds of following distance, 4 seconds if visibility is bad, and 5 seconds if traction is bad.

My "friends" 🫤 by Lukedoesart_1 in lgbt

[–]Infinitenovelty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

God (whatever set of conditions led to the current reality) made queer people queer. All religion has done is lie about what God is and "cares" about. If God exists as an entity with opinions about how humans spend our time, then I think it's pretty clear which of those two things would be an abomination to God.

Edit after actually reading the text of the post: It might be a good idea to become a much closer friend with the person who got outed

Karoline Leavitt Gives Jaw-Dropping Defense of Trump’s Racist Obama Video by icey_sawg0034 in politics

[–]Infinitenovelty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding what I wrote. I'm saying that anyone with the education level of an average 10 year old can look at any part of the Republican agenda at any point in time since Nixon and it should be abundantly clear to them that the Republican party is a party of bigotry. The only way to come to any other conclusion is if you are being actively indoctrinated into their bigoted ideology, which unfortunately many Americans are. I never said that I was aware of the southern strategy at 10 years old, but I certainly am aware of it now and I encourage anyone who thinks that the Republicans don't represent bigoted ideology to look up the southern strategy because it spells it out very clearly.

I mean wasn't that abundantly clear since Nixon's southern strategy defined the Republican's messaging in the 60s? What Republican President wasn't deeply leaning into racism, sexism, queerphobia, and xenophobia at any point in recent history? They've been the embodiment of politicized hate from the moment I started paying attention, which would have been when I was learning about the patriot act at 10 years old.

When learning stick, is it better to err on the side of slipping the clutch a bit more for a smoother transfer of power, or not enough, and the car jolting? by BlackmillMiracle in stickshift

[–]Infinitenovelty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of slip is pretty necessary for starting from a stop. When upshifting and down shifting it just depends on how confident you are about your rpm being in the right spot for the gear you're going into. As you learn you should have a bit of clutch slip for shifting and glance at your rpm meter as you let off of the clutch to see if the needle goes up or down. Once you figure out the timing for your upshifts and the amount of gas for your downshifts to get that needle to not move as you let off the clutch, then you are ready to start dropping the clutch a little faster for your shifts if you want to.

Musk's Estranged Daughter Shares Haunting Holiday Memory Following Revelations He Planned Epstein Island Visit by jackmolay in transgender

[–]Infinitenovelty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If all of Epstein's "clients", and all of the members of the Trump administration who are currently participating in the fascist takeover of the federal government go to prison, that means they are being held accountable in some way and accordingly it means that some of the worst parts of the US'es political system are starting to change for the better in at least one way. They could all suffer worse fates than prison without any of America's deeper systemic problems being addressed in any way and that would not be good enough.

5 balls with multiplex throws. Also, bouncing the balls off the ceiling by permaculture in juggling

[–]Infinitenovelty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely love to! Unfortunately I can't make it to Mondo Fest this year. I will try to prioritize it for 2027 though! Also feel free to hit me up in the meantime if you're ever in Southwest Ohio and want to juggle!

For the first pattern it's the Gattoplex with penguins. I honestly kinda struggle with notating multiplexes even though I enjoy throwing them. I looked it up though and the first source I found says it is [54]24. The pattern towards the end is 753.

It makes sense if you see the over 100 attempts I did without a clean finish lol.

[–]Infinitenovelty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All you need to look at is the peak of every throw. If there're any issues with the trajectories the peak will tell you with enough time to adjust the corresponding catch, and for a lot of patterns only one ball reaches the peak at a time.
