Funny thing is, most trad goths will tell ya that to be goth all you gotta do is listen to the music, you don’t have to dress or act any certain way.

Not sure how to feel about this:

China is already the world’s leading power in some scientific fields of research, the United States is hurtling toward an unprecedented decline in this area, and Europe is realizing that, if it wants to continue conducting world-class research, it will have to cooperate much more with the unstoppable Asian giant, even if that means swallowing its political prejudices.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

Yawara’s one of the few anime I’ve watched all the way through more than once. (the others are: Oishinbo, and Hinomaru Zumo!)

ooh nice, I’m gonna use that when I wanna be SUPER-ironic.

but tbh honest (“to be hella honest”?) I think I’m using the MFW format too much, I gotta make more varied memes…

oh yeah I wasn’t hating, I love piefed, thanks for your hard work @rimu@piefed.social !!!

I know just enough German that I read that as “…spooky Ssats”.

Oooh… I hope they remember whatever it is they forgor…

I hope all my scheduled posts are OK!

“We were doing it for a video!”

That scene is hilarious. “I’ve sized you up! I’ve stripped you down! I don’t like what I see!” -Charlie, to a bunch of highschool kids.

Unfortunately that episode isn’t on a lot of platforms bc one of the other storylines involves blackface.

Can dogs really not jump that high? If that jester were taunting cats, he’d be fucked. (if the cats cared enough to take offense, ofc…)

My favorite take on this.

I think a lot of times that’s just lack of familiarity bc the better restaurants are newer.

There is good Latino food in the midwest and northeast now. Just look for smaller restaurants, or food trucks.

This is plainly true.

Whenever I read a statement like this, my BS detector fires up.

A 2014 study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that test subjects who showed difficulty getting up off the floor without support of hands, or an elbow, or leg (what’s called the “sitting-rising test”) resulted in a three-year-shorter life expectancy than subjects who got up with ease.

I did a bit of judo and they made us get up without support. At first it was very difficult but after a bit it was pretty easy. I encourage you to try it, it’s a good skill to have. (besides adding 3 years on your life, allegedly?)

a higher incidence of knee and osteoarthritis issues.

Anecdotes are about as reliable as gurus, but anecdotally I find that there’s bad squatting and good squatting. e.g. keeping knees and feet pointed out as in Sumo, is much easier on my knees than keeping knees and feet pointed forward as in Shotokan.
