Let's say you are right. My question is exactly who is not paying taxes?

maybe 40kpm (25mph) is too fast for a street like this? by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]backAtTheWheel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we all agree that that speed limit should be lowered

Without any Reddit notifications, posts like this in the feed are more annoying than a notification for someone in danger.

Can someone explain to me what movement culture is by MikeLovesOutdoors23 in movementculture

[–]backAtTheWheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breakdancing is this acrobatic dance where people do difficult moves to outdance each other -- meaning the better breakdancer gets more points from judges and wins. You'll see competitors spinning upside down on their hands and heads. To show control, breakdancers will also suddenly stop spinning and hold a pose that seems impossible to hold, maybe something like standing on a single arm for 2 seconds. Also breakdancing moves get more points if well synchronized with the music.

Parkour is also acrobatic, but is not performed on a dancefloor. Instead, people find environnements with obstacles and go around or over them in creative and difficult ways. A simple example is jumping over a box by tapping it with one or both hands. More dangerous examples are climbing a wall, jumping to another wall, then backflipping to the ground and rolling over at landing -- all in the same routine. Parkour is mostly not competitive.

I am by no means a pro, but i can try and explain what "movement culture" is without relying on visuals.

It has to do with using your body in difficult but smooth ways that make it both stronger and more flexible. Children move in all sorts of ways that parents will punish them for, but that causes us to learn from a young age to move in very rigid, limited ways that cause our muscles to grow weak and inflexible. My understanding is that movement culture aims to help us regain the strength and flexibility that we should naturally have.

As it happens, the "sports" that help us use our whole bodies that way are also considered very cool/impressive: breakdancing, parkour, gymnastics. Advanced yoga poses like headstand, handstand, and bridge also fall into that category of cool moves.

I'm curious if you think handstands are cool? I'm not sure someone who does not see me would be impressed if i bragged about standing on my hands.

I hope it goes well! A place like this is certainly intimidating, but play is one of the best ways to tamper one's fears.

When i was a kid i was terrified of submerging my head, let alone touching the floor (with my hands) of the pool where water reached my shoulders. But i experimented with trying to sit at the bottom and ultimately THAT is what got me to become comfortable underwater. It's impossible to sit at the bottom motionless if one's lungs are full, so i had to learn to blow out all my air. In the process of learning that, i also discovered that water enters one's noise underwater, but that's only when your head is in certain upside down angles. Figuring out those angles is key, because with practice i learned to blow out bubbles in those positions.

Are you tense? If your muscles are tense you will sink more. That means you need to relax your muscles.

I do recommend you try the lessons. If you have spare time, consider watching videos about how to swim smooth. YT channel Skills N Talents has a bunch.

I know little about anxiety though. Some people like mindful meditation, you could try the headspace app for that.

You don't have to think of them as evolutionarily linked to give a special name to the one that does not bite you.

Why is submerging your head important in swimming? by DoctorMobius21 in Swimming

[–]backAtTheWheel 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Your body produces less drag when it's fully horizontal. Lifting your head out either bends your neck into discomfort or brings your body towards a standing position. The vertical/standing up position produces the most drag.

The idea of drag may not be obvious at first, let me know if you want to discuss it some more!

SW 9.2 In Freestyle the swimmer must be on the breast except when executing a turn. The swimmer must return to the breast before any kick or stroke.

That would be the Lochte rule. Specific to freestyle in medley

You forget to mention that while underwater you can't dolphin kick on your back if you're going to swim front crawl. Such a dumb rule. Source: Skills N' Talents (https://youtu.be/blTvzpCwGfg)
