While I’m not familiar with the practices of Tai Chi and its history, I am familiar with the stories and mysticism of “inner” martial arts and chi due to my cultural background. I’ve always been fascinated with martial arts and kung fu, and have recently taken up karate and its cultural histories. I also have a degree in kinesiology and will agree that the human body is such a complex and fascinating subject. The word “chi” or “ki” literally means air or in the context of martial arts, breath, and I will associate it as such. In every martial arts that I’ve seen, breathing is always a subject in the forefront. But as far as listening to tall tale stories and feats that chi can achieve, I always smile and nod but take it with a grain of salt

Since there are so many bands and music that made me cry, I’ll share a recent one that made an impression and was the album of the year 2023 on me was Blue Rev by Alvvays. Give it a shot if you love indie rock

Hmm that’s something that I might try out, as I have tinnitus for one of my ears

I know it’s all for laughs but these pandas were surviving just fine on their own. It was only because (of course) due to humans destroying their habitat that they were on the brink of extinction. And people underestimate how strong they are. They’re still bears that can easily shred you

GameCube was the Nokia of the gaming consoles. Actually, it probably still is.

Yeah it seems like he’s playing, pretending to stalk his “prey” and the bagel looks like a plush bagel

Are you really surprised by what corporations will do in the pursuit of profit?

I’ve heard of “Sleeping with the enemy” but this is ridiculous

I liked the plot, but regardless, I would say Annihilation has some of the most horrifically beautiful sci-fi imagaries on screen.

While I’m not defending those who sent these death threats or justifying these actions, I’m sure a lot work and progress will be lost for many companies because of these outrageous changes. It should be no surprise that many if not all of their clients are gonna be angry. Switching to another engine isn’t like switching from reddit to the fediverse.
