Reject national identities, return to soft border cultural cliques

Yea this is good partner behavior as I’ve been taught. Jumping straight to problem solving can be dismissive. It’s talking past where your partner is at rather than meeting them where they are

Actually thinking about this for a second I’m an idiot. What’s the solution stage for “my burrito exploded?” Pick it up ho?

It worked flawlessly for Hilldawg

Been getting back in the gym working on my muay thai and bjj and man it's not fun remembering why you got out of competition while you're trying to get back into competition shape. My knees fucking hurt. All these ligament tears I never properly addressed are catching up with me. I need to see a doctor for it but fuck navigating the byzantine healthcare referral system

Is this actually that common of a thing? I try to stay away from the trash side of anime, which is to say a solid majority of it nowadays and especially anything that could be described with the word harem, but I struggle to accept the apparent reality that slave romances are a common trope in the genre. Like that’s straight against the wall, do not pass go, do not collect $200 kind of behavior and to think that that has such an audience that it’s become a staple of the genre is maddening. In the lovecraftian sense

Honestly the folks at lemmy.world weren't cowards for defederating from us pre-emptively, they're cowards for not admitting they did it because we're such an active instance that we'd eat up their entire frontpage

Honestly could see the war lasting indefinitely a la Korea where a ceasefire is reached though western Ukraine will never recognize the sovereignty of eastern Ukraine under Russia and they just keep the artillery pointed at each other forever. The way the war has ground into WWI style trench fighting with heavy shelling it’s hard to believe there will be anymore major breakthroughs, or at the least it’s hard to imagine either side thinking it’s worth it to shove the amount of men and material into the grinder that would be necessary to succeed. Russia gets its buffer zone and the US gets another regional power to dump arms and troops into

Yea but multipolarity almost always guarantees global war between competing capitalist powers

Probably?

All of the talk about introducing the new libs to hexbear and the thing I’m most excited for is the return of BMF posting. Holy fuck if that crossover won’t be iconic

Lowkey kind of hating it because I made a promise to myself not to effortpost online anymore but you feel like you have to when you're actually trying to prove someone wrong. When it was just us I knew I could shitpost in peace

I'm missing sparring week in my gym because my brother exposed me to covid. Not sure I have it but would feel like a dick causing a minor outbreak just because I want to show off the cool combinations I practice in the bathroom mirror. Get question mark kicked bitch!!
