Whirling_Ashandarei,

The Orville, of course!

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I used to think this way, till I actually learned a little bit on how to dance and then how to let go. Don’t wanna look like a fool? Learn to two step first, then pick up something simple if you can. Do the “instructions” dances like the electric slide and the hustle. Then learn to use your hips.

Learning to let go was harder, but I found it easier to embrace silliness. I decided I could look dumb on accident or on purpose, and decided on the latter, so did “sweet moves” that would make people laugh - throwing in old disco moves and such (the bus driver).

Then something happened I didn’t expect: I actually got decent at dancing. Turns out getting out of your own head is a great way to get loose, and suddenly you’re doing your thing and enjoying it, and you’re willing to try out other moves that actually do look like you might know something.

Point is, dancing is for everyone, just gotta find the right headspace (and the right music, it’s still hard for anyone to dance to music they don’t enjoy imo).

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Ok I’ll bite: what’s stopping you from learning to two step? That was the first thing I listed. You have access to the Internet, you can get really good at dancing just watching YouTube and practicing what they do. Less fun initially I’m sure, but doable.

Also my God does dancing make women more interested in you if you’re a dude. It’s not magic where they’ll suddenly flock to you but it’s a lot easier to buy a girl a drink after you’ve made her laugh or spun her on the dance floor. So, there’s some extra motivation if it applies.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Oh no? You don’t tap your foot, or bob your head to your music? Humans have been dancing for millennia, it’s in our DNA. It’s cool if it’s not your favorite thing, but unilaterally ruling it out is wild.

I got made fun of for my dancing by a pretty girl in middle school, made me keep away from the dance floor for years, and I didn’t know what I was missing out on.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I felt like an idiot for a long time when I didn’t know what I was doing. Still do, sometimes, esp if I’m fully sober (social anxiety yay). And in the beginning it wasn’t enjoyable, either, I wasn’t doing it initially to have fun, but was tired of standing on the wall or at the bar every time I went to a place or event with expected dancing (and there are LOTS of these, particularly in your 20s). It was surprising when I found myself enjoying it, now it’s surprising when I don’t.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I mean, I do think it goes along with indulging in something, bit of booze and weed, or stronger on occasion depending on the kind of party. I can do some dancing sober but it loses it’s appeal much faster.

I do know people that love dancing sober as a bird, I just don’t think that’s gonna be everybody, or even most people. It’s like any social event, a lot of people are gonna want at least one or two drinks to let the walls come down a bit.

Lot of people though that flat out won’t put themselves out there and I think that stinks for them, you never know what can come from getting outside of your comfort zone. For me, I never would’ve gotten together with my wife if I wasn’t willing to dance, and a few years before we met I was on the “I hate dancing” train for a while, so I know where some of that comes from.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone? Have you ever tried learning a new skill that you’re not a natural at? That’s life my dude.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I mean, it sounds like you tried and that’s all I’m really saying is to try. Also not necessarily referring to dancing as an actual dance floor despite the post, some of my favorite “dancing” has just been head banging with my buddies. There’s also added pressure to an actual dance floor that I’m not trying to hand waive away.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I have a hard time believing this mostly because of your attitude towards it. Is it stupid and that’s why you don’t like it? Or you don’t like it, and therefore it must be stupid? Seems like the latter. I’d also disagree that it’s not a useful skill, like any soft or social skill it has its place and it can be surprisingly useful in certain circumstances. For instance, is it useful to be able to impress your preferred gender of person? Or to make them laugh? Dancing can definitely help with that.

When I was younger I thought golf was a useless “dumb” sport, I’m now kicking myself for not picking it up a decade ago because it’s extremely useful for networking and building/maintaining relationships.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

That is fair.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

You can claim that, you may even believe it, but that’s all the first steps of dating someone really are. Maybe you don’t do it with dancing, maybe you dazzle them with your vast intellect, but it’s the same thing.

Feel free to stop whenever you’d like lol no one is going to force you to dance like no one is going to force you to reply 😉

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Shakira lol and that’s only kind of a joke, bc she’s amazing at using em. I’d suggest watching YouTube or piped videos, and just watching dancers. Latin dance in particular emphasizes it, so may want to look that direction first. The easiest Latin dance to learn is merengue as that’s just a two step with some extra hip movement that is easy to pick up by watching.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I’m not saying everyone must dance, but everyone should try dancing multiple times and at different stages of their lives, just like the rest of the items you listed. Failing at something once or not enjoying it once and then swearing it off forever is honestly just sad.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Hmmm. I blocked the yiffit instance and yet this comment is not hidden…

Also not kink shaming but it was every other goddamn post on All

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I am certainly not commenting here to save this.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

This is a good meme, particularly because of the correct your/you’re usage.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Hmmm. I’ve had rabbit prepared 5 different ways at a very expensive restaurant once (had just gotten a bonus for the first time in my life and it landed on my wife and I’s anniversary). It was fantastic, like dark meat from a turkey or chicken, but a tad gamey which I didn’t mind.

Venison is delicious, as is elk. Buffalo burgers are solid, not much different than regular. I’ve had ostrich jerky but it’s pretty much the same as most other jerkys by that point.

Had shark once, was very good and similar to swordfish.

Funnily enough all of these things I tried in the US, and none while actually traveling abroad despite adventures to most of the continents at this point.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

This is awesome, def gonna check it out. I actually ran half of wild sheep chase once, still want to finish it but idk if that group will ever get together again.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

It was a great time, we just ran out of time lol very disappointed bc it was just before the big confrontation and I was going to have a ton of fun reasoning with them as the “bad” guy.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Blocked the entire yiffit instance, instantly made all usable again bc Jesus tapdancing Christ was there a lot of furry porn.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

They aren’t changing Peter Parker, they’re just focusing on Miles. Tf are you talking about?

Whirling_Ashandarei,

$50 says he doesn’t respond to this comment where he gets absolutely fuckin owned. Was gonna also mention The Flash, Green Lantern, Aqua Man, Dr. Fate, etc etc etc. It’s reiterated so many times in comics that many of these hero names are mantles to be worn for a time and passed on.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Terrible acting

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Scrubs in addition to a bunch of the great suggestions in here.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Same, could be pretty fun

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Jfc I gotta get on this level lol you should write down some of your processes and trials/successes/failures if you haven’t!

[Witchfire Brews] Barbarian: Path of the Olympian - A homebrew subclass inspired by mythological heroes (i.imgur.com)

When a dragon looms overhead, casting its dreadful shadow upon the town, panic and chaos ensue. Peasants abandon their homes in haste, guards grasp their weapons with trembling hands, and even the most seasoned heroes of the town shiver with dread. However, the Olympian is the exception, harboring no fear within their heart....

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Very cool! I’m sending this to my DM for a possible character in my next campaign. I do wonder if the shout could also inspire allies, as that seems pretty olympian to me, but that may be brushing too close to zealot and such.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Very interesting, I see. And frightening more than the marked creature would probably be a bit OP.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

That can’t be a real hairstyle.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Super fun, minor spoiler but they are in BG3 and it was a fun encounter!

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I’ve almost never seen this in NY. It’s a jersey thing, and it’s stupid as fuck.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I’ve been around all of NY, and even right next to Jersey it’s still not common. Maybe within Manhattan or Staten Island as those are the only 2 boroughs where I’ve never gotten gas, but even places right on the border of NJ mostly don’t have it. Agreed tho, hate anywhere that does it and I’ll just leave immediately.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Likewise, but I see why my comment would make you think I was only referring to the city.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

The city is it’s own beast, but omfg do I hate the South larpers in upstate and elsewhere! They are so annoying, flying confederate flags and shit when half of em have never even been 50 miles from their home town. You’ll even see some of that shit on Long Island. City people are much more open minded in general at least, it’s just the rent and cost of living that you have to survive. The food, including Southern food when you find it, is also world class in NYC - bad restaurants can’t survive.

Nisky is a cool area, I have some friends there, tho East Nisky has some of that Southern larping as well, it’s nowhere near as bad as it gets in the Southern Tier of NY from my experience as well - the people sharing the border with PA.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

It’s definitely a turn off for most women imo, especially because of the shit with Justin Roiland (sp?) being a disgusting creep. Anyone who puts it in their profile because they love it that much is just asking to get swiped left on.

  • my wife, who does actually enjoy the show (tho really didn’t like the first season bc they had Rick burping every two seconds and it was gross)
Whirling_Ashandarei,

Fight Club is so funny to me because most of the people who “love it so fuckin much” missed the point entirely. And I love it so fuckin much, but I’m a big Chuck Palahniuk fan and actually got what the book and movie were going for.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Well this looks fun, cast looks incredible at least and not in the over-the-top way where it’s all superstar actors.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Hey ya want some more of that koolaid? Lmfao peddle this nonsense elsewhere.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Appropriate attire I think. Make sure to leave the top button undone unless you wear a tie. If you’re planning on wearing dress shoes you may want to switch to slacks over jeans (if they are jeans, if they’re just a slightly more casual pant ignore this), but don’t think that’s a hard and fast rule or anything, you can still wear dress shoes with jeans if you don’t have an in between type of shoe. Your dress socks and shoe color should match your belt, but again there are exceptions to any “rule” of fashion, just keeps it easy tho if you’re unsure.

The shirt may be a tad big on you, I’d suggest tucking it in a little tighter unless you have time to get it tailored (just go to a dry cleaner, cheap and usually a few days to turn around, shouldn’t be more than like $15ish depending on your area).

I have no idea of your hygiene but as others have said make sure you aren’t giving off anything off putting. Deodorant, brush teeth obvi, maybe a small spritz of a light cologne (one spray, no more, spray in the air in front of you and walk under it).

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Agreed, I also eat meat but I’m not going to frame it like I’m staving off some hardship lol meat is far pricier than 99% of your vegetarian/vegan options. I eat less of it now and skip the cow milk for an alternative and I also don’t feel less masculine for doing so!

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I mean, a crash is usually used and abused by the big players to gobble stuff up if they survived and didn’t go bankrupt (hell even if they do another whale usually swallows them) yet I don’t see another way for most people to afford a home. But then again, the area I’m in isn’t crashing even if the rest of the country does. If it resulted in lower rates would love to refinance tho, 5% isn’t great.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

I’d prob take one, but I’m not building a PC for another year or so, so if it won’t work by then with whatever this coming enforcement is, someone else should take it.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

No, no, day after leg day is worse. Source: me right now

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Oh plenty of things. I could teach, do some manual labor, be a peace keeper (a real one, not a pig), assist with legal matters. Hell would love to do a day of each one a week.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Y’know this is a pretty convincing argument in favor.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Dang, halfling paladin sounds pretty fun actually, should’ve done that instead of dragonborn for BG3.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

It will come, just growing pains. But yeah I’m on the equivalent of r/all a lot here just to find new stuff.

Whirling_Ashandarei,

Happy to hear it, bought it thinking it was going to be cross play on launch and was getting worried.
