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

Probably none of that, since a ring is made for a finger. It probably magically detects if it has made contact with one. Now, if the question was what if it was put on a severed finger, then that is something to think about

That’s a good observation. Admittedly, I thought that episode was funny and memorable but retrospectively, I do agree that he de-railed the whole interview format and that is ashame. Especially since Conan even said that Sean is a great interviewer

Oh no… HE’S HOT

He tends to do that, I would know

Ah it’s like reuniting with old friends

Feng Shui is just an ancient Chinese way of saying “A E S T H E T I C S”

Really cool to see a new IP from Capcom and it being an aesthetically pleasing defense tower game is interesting and takes me back to the Onimusha/Okami/Viewful Joe days

Probably because MMO is not the trending buzz word for execs and shareholders. Plus you got an example of a successful live service game (Helldivers 2). Doubtful that these are the type of people to be in touch with what people actually wants

I get where you’re coming from but I’ve witness toxicity regarding masculinity from both men and women. Honestly, it’s definitely possible to have healthy relationships with other dudes. All of my best friends are guys and we aren’t afraid to talk about anything, like our feelings. So it’s really the company you keep that really matters, regardless of gender imo

Thanks friend! May all us get some well deserved rest

Me but with tiredness and depression instead of bologna

I agree with you that talking is a skill that can be developed. I think it’s okay to encounter awkward situations because it’s gonna happen and it happens to everyone. Ideally, you learn how to handle or react to those situations eventually, imo. It should also be okay to be quiet too given the appropriate time. Why should there be a need for someone to talk all the time.

Ready to cry and be confused again

I mean I’m assuming a powerful enough Patron would easily be able to shapechange into whatever form they want. So if they’re offering…

PRIMORDIAL GOOD BOY

The thing about the Chiefs is, they always try an’ run it in

That’s so you, so U’Nique

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

Hey, if you are content with where you’re currently at then who’s to tell you otherwise! But if you do wonder about it, then why not give it a shot and venture out to somewhere different? It may be worse or better, but you’d never know if you don’t try
