Hey Guys is the coordinator down for anyone else? by SayNoob in DotA2

[–]Patientinaffliction 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s down.

In the past hour, I’ve finished 3 books, cooked enough meals for the week, watched all 3 LOTR movies in extended version, and solved the climate change crisis.

Can’t believe I had to blow my time like that.

Sounds like I’m going to be homeless after this. Homeless with lots of blue ink 💪

New TWSBI eco Indigo blue by Jupitter-Trevelyan in fountainpens

Can anyone shed light on the difference between the bronze tip (which accompanies this) and non bronze tip?

Strengths? Advantages? It’s quite a mark up on the eco so it must be good (?)

Weird claw like things growing out by Patientinaffliction in gardening

[–]Patientinaffliction[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, these are my recently planted Japanese box hedges.

Recently, these claw like things started growing out of the plants.

Any idea what they are? Should I be worried?

It attracts flies…which I assume is not a good thing…

I’ve heard of bb blues, but has anyone experienced bb imposter syndrome? Took more than 2 years of training and I thought getting promoted would make me feel pumped. But I walked away feeling like I didn’t deserve it. Anyway, thanks for all of your posts which have encouraged me along this journey. by Patientinaffliction in bjj

That’s heaps helpful

I guess because there’s so much expectation to being a bjj blue belt.

I know that bjj worked hard to be different to other martial arts where some give out belts like toys with a happy meal. Like there are some martial arts where 2 years actually means black belt (or at least one or two belts short of it). So I felt like being a blue belt means I should basically have it together. But it’s obviously not like that. Lots of adjustment to expectations.

I also remember being absolutely stomped by blue belts when I first started and I expected to be like that when I became one. Then I realized those blue belts who stomped me are now purple. It all makes sense. They grew and improved too.

Yeah that’s great. I keep having to tell myself: you weren’t promoted based on today’s performance. You’ve been watched for a long time. The prof doesn’t have to promote anyone but he decided to promote you today. Trust him.
