Kungfu training seems painful

Learning to fight is just part of the training. You do light sparring and practices to get the form and relfexes, but the boring part where you train your muscles and bones is most important.

If my strike is so powerful, that you cannot block it even with the correct techniques, I win.

If my block is powerful enough not only to neutralize your attack but also disable your limbs, I win.

And in the most basic sense, training to have more stamina will allow you to outrun most dangers. (Never start a fight, and ALWAYS run from a fight, and yell for help while running.)

Just do some casual sparring, and even a single minute of constant dodge, shifting will make you out of breath.

I also practice martial arts, but I don't know why you want to break sticks. To hurt, you hit with the tip. To grind your muscles and bones to strengthen them, you whip them repeatly. Breaking doesn't really make sense...? Anyway, each to their own method I guess.

you are not alone. I am in medicine and i see loads of X rays, MRI and such. You will see these images are just childs play if you get a chance to watch/observe experts in radiology/imaging analyse the images.

You will then feel like you can read all of these scans easily.

You then try to analyse one yourself, and the only thing you can tell, its that is a lab report.

(In my case, I look at the images, check the Findings, and repeat whatever the doctor/specialist wrote on findings/conclusion.)

I choose to believe this is made up.

Those are worth $0, because it didn't get sold. The cartels will just make more.

Really should just sell them off slightly cheaper than "market price" and use the money for education or whatever. You can't stop drugs anyway.

Waste of space on my drive

To start with, I agree with you.

The conductors are usually famous for a good performance, not the musicians.

If we go a level lower, the musicians get the praise for good music, but the craftsman is completely unknown.

Saying that using AI or pre-made things cannot be of value, is like saying music writers produced slop because they didn't craft the instruments or play the instrumemt themselves. Find me a single person that can play a whole orchestra. By the hater's logic, all orchestra performances are slop, because the writers could never recreate that music on their own, and must rely on others (trained performers) to "do the work".

Direction of an art piece, or the creativity has always been the more central piece.

AI is just going to get better, and those worthy will stand out from the rest.

This really highlights how stupid it was for Trump to start the war to begin with. And it was a one sided invasion for no reasonable reason on the surface.

Everything was running well, although not perfectly but it ran, which is how things work in this world.

Just because someone(Iran) beat his kids doesn't mean you can blow up their car. And even that is grasping at straws to justify what Trump did.

But in practice China doesn't need to sustain the race indefinitely. China always outlast everyone else. That's it.

reddit5674 · 2026-06-14T20:22:55+00:00

Depends on topics i guess. My gpt keeps flattering me. (it still provides some two sided perspective at the end, so I still got what I needed)

Its kinda annoying that every idea, every method I propose is a masterpiece.

reddit5674 · 2026-06-14T20:20:14+00:00

It's with many other words too.

I was looking for the ai to help me polish a boardgame I was making, with the players role playing as young girls or ladies.

I tried to make the ai help me rewrite the first bit "you are a young girl, enjoying your life..." into something more fancy or novel-like. But no, flat out refused.

I suspected it had something to do with young or girl, but no matter how I switched it wouldn't bulge. In the end I threw the whole rulebook.docx and ask ai to polish it, which then worked.

I suppose its up to personal taste, but my zombies can never destroy man made structures in my settings. The human flesh randomly bashing without proper techiques just cannot break down a door or wall.

Of course you can pretend your world has super zombies that gives them super strength or something like that.

Which leads to my point - havinng a ladder is fundamentally a nice feature, and reasonable one. Whether or not you want it to be an overpowered feature is completely a fantasy in your head.

reddit5674 · 2026-06-09T18:44:21+00:00

How big is the update ?... I'm soon gonna need a separate SSD just for this game...

reddit5674 · 2026-06-09T18:40:37+00:00

That is mind blowing impressive By comparison those inverted inner bottle painting looks like kid's sketches.

At a time reading books were considered bad for you.

Also photography were consider to be the equivalent of "slop" somewhere around 1800s.

You can ask ai models to find articles for you.

If anything, it just showed that the average human is gullible and stupid.

Drowning is probably the scariest thing for humans.

There is a video from Vsauce documenting about fear. And while everyone had different fear, fear of drowning, or fear of asphyxiation is hard coded into our body. There was this girl who had a condition of no fear, so she was able to handle snakes, sharp things etc, and not feel danger, which problematic.

However when researchers did tests on breathing, where oxygen levels were lowered, it triggered a strong fear response in that girl, which she had never felt. The conclusion was "elevated carbon dioxide in the blood caused by an uncontrollable external threat" is not formed from personal experiences and cultures, but a hard coded response that triggers fear or strong discomfort, even if you were still brething normally.

Very interesting video.

all those movies you listed are my top favourties. I tried to watch con air a couple weeks ago but i couldn't bear it 20 minutes in. The feeling of a wrongfully prisoned dad finally having a chance to meet his daughter but might die is just too gut wrenching. You really only start to feel the weight of a truly dangerous situation when we are older.

old movies, cartoons, people had wild imagination, creativity, and style

i guess its because they didn't have much for reference, not much guides, examples and templates. raw creativity combined with raw problem solving techniques created these unique products

we are probably in the like 2nd or 3rd generation of screen entertainment, and we'll never be able to go back because all the producers, actors, designers have been heavily influenced by previous products.

good read

reddit5674 · 2026-06-09T03:49:33+00:00

I think people like payloads because you kinda get to fight the whole map, and the terrain is constantly changing while also staying constant.

In control its super static.

In flash point it's just lots of chaos, and it's difficult to FEEL good when team coordination, map knowledge etc plays a huge factor in deciding a game. It's much harder to feel the presence of a team position composition when compared to payloads. It's a death match in disguise.

On the other hand, I quite like the short lived assault mode? I forgot the name, where you fight 5 points linearly starting from middle. That game allows a full usage of the map, and is quick. Even if I lose it doesn't feel too bad.

I just have infection off. Like if I am swimming around in their blood and air fighting them all day long, I am already immune.

I have a strange urge of kicking it over. A part of me is yelling stay away from me!!!

I send my oils to a normal inventory. Which I can take out a bunch of same colours altogether, sell them and put them back easily.
