When you pick up a sword for the first time you will be slow and awkward. This is frustrating, but refuse the temptation to try and become a “faster” fencer. Chasing after speed is like trying to catch smoke. If you try and pursue speed, all you will accomplish is haste. Haste is the enemy of 1st class fencing.
Speed is a lie the untrained mind tells itself when it sees an action it cannot follow. The truth is a combination of timing, control, and fluidity. Fluid motion, even done slowly, will always arrive before a hasty strike. Control will allow you to move without wasteful motion that will slow you down. Timing will eliminate the need to move fast almost entirely. There is no need to get somewhere fast so long as you get there at the right time.

Super disgusting! People are FUCKED UP.
It’s racial discrimination to treat someone less polite than someone else would be treated in the same circumstances, because of race. We can’t ignore the case of blatant racism. We MUST draw public attention to such cases. We must ensure that racists are identified and socially discredited. There are no reasons or excuses for racism. It’s just disgusting.
youtube comment of the week
Heads up for people who need to feed themselves and their families: Tuesday, July 16, 2019, from 7am-7pm, participating IHOP restaurants will be offering 58¢ pancakes. The offer is 1) only valid at participating locations 2) limited to 1 short stack per guest. As far as I know there is not currently a list of the locations participating.
The fine print in the image reads "Dine-in only. Not valid with any other discounts or coupons. Limit 1 short stack per guest. Valid at participating restaurants only." This advertisement is via the official IHOP Facebook page
If you believe “Kill all blacks” is racist (which it is) but “Kill all whites” isn’t racist or vice versa, you just proved you hold a double standard.
If you believe “Trans people suck” is transphobic (which it is) but “Cis people suck” isn’t cisphobic or vice versa, you just proved you hold a double standard.
If you believe “men hitting women for reasons other self defense” is abuse (which it is) but believe “women beating men for reasons other than self defense” isn’t abuse or vice versa, you just proved you hold a double standard.
If you believe treating females poorly for being female is sexist (which it is) but believe treating males poorly for being male isn’t sexist or vice versa, you just proved you hold a double standard.
If you believe “Homosexuals/bisexuals are horrible people” is homophobic/biphobic (which it is) but believe “Heterosexuals are horrible people” isn’t heterophobic or vice versa, you just proved you hold a double standard.
If you believe “Muslims need to be wiped out” is Islamophobic (which it is), but think “Christians need to be wiped out” isn‘t Christianophobic or vice versa, you just proved you hold a double standard
Double Standards are NOT OKAY
TL:DR The double standard doesn’t have to be on a wide scale, it can be as simple as what people say
can yOU NOT
There is probably something that you are naturally skilled at but never realised and wasted so much potential.
this is too real
Yes
Not all character development is positive. Characters can, and in my opinion, should, develop both negative and positive traits throughout the course of their story. As the story goes, they shouldn’t be perfected, they’re people, not artpieces, and so there shouldn’t be a stage where they’ve improved/changed exclusively for the better, to the point where they have no negative traits at all.
