the first pokemon that pops into your mind (now) is your new forever partner, your pikachu-and-ash-level pal. your main pokemon companion who will accompany u thru everything. who is it?
every fall teenage girls are like.. “oh , im gonna enter a place of business and order a product which is offered by that place of business because i like the flavor of it” and honestly? how dare they. that’s so annoying. why can’t they buy the beverage that i, a smart man, would prefer to drink
Probably because they’re generally indifferent to the flavor of it and rather use it for in group/out group signalling like the giant basic bitch wall-decorations-from-target early childhood education/nutrition hive mind they are.
dude shut the fuck up lol
ok i spend all day with teenagers and am paid to educate them and let me tell you most of my girls may love leggings (comfy) and iced coffees (yummy) but i have never, NEVER, seen thirty of them spend a solid month all playing the same boring goddamn video game or had to pry them off their tablets and phones the day some ugly-ass overpriced sneaker drops
try and get a group of teenage boys to all stop making the same fucking meme reference all. goddamn. day. then, and ONLY then, can you talk to me about hive mind
Can you imagine being a middle or high school teacher when Pickle Rick dropped.
Wait… Am I supposed to think that it’s bad that people are overcoming major hurdles in life to be successful?
No, you’re supposed to think it’s bad that cases of underprivileged people being forced to push themselves to extremely unhealthy extents due to the constraints of this terrible society are being celebrated and used against other underprivileged people as an excuse to call them lazy.
THATS NOT EFFICIENCY THATS THE OPPOSITE
There’s a certification called “Six Sigma” that certifies you to be able to go into any field with the knowledge and ability to increase productivity and efficiency, and NO ONE LISTENS TO THEM ANYMORE
Here’s a picture of a section that blew me away as I was not expecting for this to be explicitly said:
Money is a DEMOTIVATOR! The more your workers are worried about money the less productive they are. It’s been studied for year after year. ALL of these things are obvious, but rarely implemented.
If anyone is curious as to how Motorola survived the recession that hit us after Bush?
BY NOT REDUCING PAY, AND CONTINUING TO TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES A CERTAIN WAY
Even though their financial advisors said they would lose millions of dollars for the next quarters, the CEO refused and pretty much said “I don’t care what we lose at this very second, or the next year. You’re trying to save the company 2 million dollars, and that’s nothing. We’d make that back quickly. But by continuing with the plan we’ve been doing, this company will still exist in 10 years. If not it won’t. I’m not cutting pay, or vacation time.” And it worked.
Capitalism has been fed to us for years through propaganda and misinformation and this is why we are where we are.
piranha plant is legitimately a better addition to smash than fire-fighting starter pokemon #48320
i have just been informed that incineroar, the fucking pokemon thats based on wrestlers, knows a bunch of wrestling and fighting attacks, looks like this
and is constantly seen in wrestling ring
is not fire-fighting, but fire-dark
hes dark type because hes a heel
a what
in professional wrestling a heel is a wrestler acting as the villain, being rude and underhanded
in fact incineroar is called the Heel Pokemon
badguy wrestler
think more Stone Cold or Brock Lesnar rather than John Cena
He’s meant to draw the ire of the audience
If he isn’t getting under your skin he’s doing a bad job
Dark is Evil in Japan, therefore he is a Fire Evil type.
Also you could go further into wrestling terminalogy and say that the heel usually gets the heat of the babyface and then the babyface makes a comeback.
He’s the big heel of the pokemon universe, and he’s based off of one the most popular Japanese Junior heavyweights of all time’s arch rival the Black Tiger.
this is so dumb hes still based on wrestlers
wrestling is very much not fighting tho
If you wanna go really meta, the whole pokemon community was so done with fire/fighting types, especially after getting a break in the form of Braixen, that seeing Incineroar made everybody go apeshit
And then he was revealed to be a dark type instead of fighting
He was designed to make you mad from day 1
the number one thing about incineroar that really rustles my personal jimmies, is
its evolution line,
its like they made the first two then they were like “ah shit we need a gimmick”
Yeah of course! This was one of my biggest questions before surgery because I move literally every day and the thought of taking a few months off was very daunting in my mind. I can say that it is 100% worth the wait, though. I can’t even explain how much easier and more natural my movement feels now, as compared to trying to train in a binder every day. Plus after a few months off I’m now able to re-approach everything from a new perspective and it’s a really valuable experience.
1-2 Days Post-Op
I didn’t do anything except walk to my bathroom and kitchen every few hours. Felt good to get the blood flowing but I had to stay pretty hunched over and walking was very slow and my friends called me “speed racer” and made fun of me waddling back and forth at .08 miles per hour lmfao
3-7 Days Post-Op
A few days post-op I went to the studio where I work and hung out with people for 2-3 hours, sitting most of the time but exhausted by the end of it. That first week post-op I went for a lot of drives with friends and would sit outside/at parks, walk a little bit and then when the pain started creeping back in I’d go home and lie down. Pain wasn’t sharp, but I could always tell when my body needed rest because my chest would start feeling very tight.
7-14 Days Post-Op
I was standing up straight, walking a little faster (but still slow). The first week I remember I would turn on faucets with my toes and flip light switches with my feet because it would feel really good through my hip flexors and didn’t require upper body motion at all. Around 2 weeks post-op I felt good sitting in deep squats just letting my pelvic floor muscles and hip flexors open up.
3-4 Weeks Post-Op
My semester of grad school started the third week after my surgery, and I went to one class but was exhausted and felt sore and tight after (I wasn’t prepared for things like getting in/out of the car with a backpack and opening doors). 4 weeks post-op I was feeling better and also went back to work (my university job not my circus job). I started exploring getting back into my own movement practice in small ways like doing hip/hamstring stretches at night, rolling ankles/stretching wrists/neck, etc.
6 Weeks Post-Op
Started feeling ok with my arms fully extended in downward dog; did my first headstand since surgery which was really nice; felt comfortable hinging through my hips and doing things like uttanasana, lizard pose, butterfly, etc. You’ll be able to feel it out; I felt pretty good doing anything that didn’t really involve my chest or rotating the upper body.
10 Weeks Post-Op
I got back in the gym for the first time and benched about 75-80% of what I benched before surgery.
12 Weeks Post-Op
Trained aerial silks for the first time and felt good and strong and capable.
________
I’m now 13, almost 14 weeks post-op and lifting weights is totally fine, handstands/inversions/aerial silks, general circus stuff, etc is fine. The only thing I’m still easing back into is contortion, just because of how much the skin moves when you get into extreme ranges of flexibility. You’ll be able to feel it if you start to stretch the scars, your body will give you a little warning signal and you can ease back a little. Just go slow and listen to your body and everything will be great. Congrats on your upcoming top surgery!
