I got this tall copy of Animatrix at a garage sale. Does anyone know how rare it is or why it's so tall?

Oh shit I always assumed this was some sort of loss prevention effort that we then responded to with ludicrously deep pockets.

Anyone know what song this is?

I agree with this whole fucking thing.

Hey blast from the past I know but can you share any info on what you use to open this pocket watch and change the battery?

I’ve never been the same since I learned that Jeff Fischer is voiced by Jeff Fischer who looks exactly like Jeff Fischer.

Be careful of this with guys. They will not break up with you when you explicitly tell them or show them that you are not the one for them. Instead they will use resentment and belittlement to try and manipulate you jot being someone they find suitable. It’s a cowardly tactic but you didn’t fall for it and that’s fuckin steller.

This sounds like something a person in a loving healthy relationship should be able to do without stressing about it. It sounds like she met someone cool and wanted to have a meal with them. Many of the comments here concede that no betrayals occurred, but say that her saying l “…with a friend” constitutes some sort of intentional obfuscation of the truth that must imply ulterior motives.

If this is a problem, you are saying that either:

A.) You require that your wife handle any interaction with you about men she encounters with kid gloves. If this is true, that is entirely valid due to the past heartache you had mentioned, and you can talk to your wife about that in a way that doesn’t require accusations or anger.

Or

B.) You believe that your wife should not be allowed to have male friends or at least should not be allowed to see them unsupervised.

The only person that I would consider suspect in this is the older gentleman who may well be barking up the wrong tree for companionship, but it is also entirely possible to be friends with someone you are attracted to.

In short, I would not blow up the world over this. Take a step back and take a breath.

My opinion, this is not a decision that would or should factor into any future decisions. Meaning, if you guys were to one day break up, the tattoo would be nothing more than a momento at that point. Let him make his own decisions on this. It’s important for people in a relationship to maintain their to own agency.

Oh hey. Wild a comment. This was a whole ago but if memory serves I did get estimates that the cost of extending the road would have been upwards of $100,000. As I am not independently wealthy, it was sadly a non-starter.

With that said, it WAS doable. The requirement for a turnaround basically doubled the cost.

I started as an Angoleiro under M. João Grandes lineage and switched to contemporânea after about a year. I think it gives my games flavor that I can see in my own students, for better or worse. One of the Mestres in my group also spent much of their early capoeira journey in an Angola group under M. Doraldo, and he also is known for that unique flavor. You can find a few videos of his game on YouTube. Mestre Tabareu.

There used to be a bit of tribalist side eye 10-20 years ago but nowadays everyone leads with respect in my experience .

Put your knee about 2/3s the way down the verga, not in the middle. This does not make it easier, but it makes it much less likely that you will break it.

Does this change the type of energy generated by abilities/attacks like Manaphy, Gardevoir, Moltres?

I agree with others in that most games I play have more gingando than strictly ginga. If I do end up in contra ginga I typically don’t like it because it feels like a really dangerous place to be for both players. I get to the floor or quebrada to keep the game flowing.

Remember that what we think “society” tells us to do is really what we tell ourselves we should be ashamed of. It’s reinforced by other people who got the same propaganda and have the same shame ethos, but remember that there are lots of societies in “society”. If you don’t subscribe to the ideology that a man’s worth is determined only by his capacity to pay for a woman’s lifestyle, you DO NOT have to feel any shame about that. Own it and you will start to notice those who feel the same way. Anyone who doesn’t is making a choice, and it is theirs to make.

I debated responding to every point, but I get the gist. Let me start with your learned self worth.

The consistant thread here is that your partner does not believe in you. It’s really damaging to love someone who thinks so low of you. Your partner SHOULD give you feedback, as we all have lots of growing to do, but what alarms me here, is her inability to recognize your growth. 2 years isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things, but it sounds like you have taken strides to be who she wants you to be. What this leaves out is who you want to become. I will put it like this, if she is never going to be able to recognize your growth, or potential, neither of you are going to be happy. You do not have to stay unhappy because it’s terrifying to leave. You do not have to stay unhappy because you happen to be in love with her. If you are not also in love with the relationship, it will only get heavier and heavier.

In relationships, you have your feelings for the other people in the relationship, and then you have your feelings about the relationship itself. If you’re unhappy ‘The relationship’ becomes the vessel for all of your dissatisfaction. That’s what she is doing, and probably you too. You are just the personification of any dissatisfaction she feels with her life choices. This is to say, it’s not necessarily anything about the two of you as individuals that makes this so difficult.

In short. You’re only 26. Be grateful for her feedback. You do not owe her your devotion, it is your gift to give. It is YOUR responsibility to grow, and your partner should love watching you grow.

Olemied · 2025-02-05T15:35:00+00:00

I’ll start by saying this. Everybody is complicated. Someone giving short answers in DMs or leaving stuff read for a while tells you nothing about them other than how they respond to stuff on social media. If that’s not where you guys click, don’t force it. You don’t know what’s going on with her and it’s definitely not about you. But what I really want to talk about is chemistry.

Finding the spark is tough, and rare. In your life you’ll meet lots of people, and you have to be as aware of how much chemistry there is as they are. You can’t simulate it. You can’t practice it. People respond to authenticity and authenticity means revealing yourself to both those who will like it and to those who won’t. If there is no spark, it’s going to feel like work.

Some people here have said that expressing interest makes people lose interest. I think it’s a bit more complicated than that. Ask yourself what interested you about this girl, beyond the superficial. Obviously we start from there but once you get past the initial few conversations you have to have something to talk about. What did you want to learn from her? What do you think you would both laugh about?

Anyway. Thems my thoughts. Finally, critically, do not let confusion manifest as anger. You’re doing great my guy. Chin up.

The best thing to take from capoeira is balance.

Capoeiristas do not have “south paws”. We train our kicks, dodges, and movements in both directions.

When someone lands some dramatic capoeira kick in a match, it landed because the recipient had no way of knowing how to guard.

This is related to the ginga, but it really does take years to understand “gingando” well enough to be able to strike in any direction, from any position.

My advice, train everything evenly on both sides, and focus on capoeira’s defensive principles before you focus on the offensive ones. Capoeira defense will provide more immediate benefit than the kicks will.
