That’s kind of like asking, “why do people buy ebikes?” These seem the fit the same nich but like in 1944. Obviously it’s not a perfect solution, humans and perfect solutions mix like oil and water. (Salad dressing is mostly oil and water, so I guess that’s the perfect solution)
Do languages with sylabic alphabets have this problem?
Ah, because whoever they kill is definitely an enemy. If they were already infallible why do they need AI?
Yeah the primarchs do it, and it’s kinda weird. But they are inhuman monsters that have to serve as generals and politicians, so I forgive them.
When space Marines do it the it’s kinda like how priests refer to each other as brother, but also battle brother is a rank.
I think it is also there to make things seem more theatric/dramatic. Like just how many books start with a dramatis personae? We’re not reading about people, we’re reading about characters in a space opera. No matter how you look at it, it’s still pretty silly.
Assuming it’s the US
A dovetail is a type of joint that doesn’t require fasteners and only uses the material (usually glue for wood).
There was a lot more I missed when I switched, can’t think of anything now. I was going to joke that I miss being 19. But eh, I’m doing better now than I was then.
It’s really annoying actually. Sometimes you’re asking something completely benign, and it’s likes sorry I’m an AI and I can’t do anything.
Example: I asked it what a commonplace book was. Apparently language models don’t have the capacity to help with that!
I think they’re implying that legitimate things are immediate, sad, and personal. But I think all of these options are legitimate reasons to cry.
What’s an illegitimate reason? To manipulate someone
So the question is how do I build confidence?
I think you build confidence the same way that you build skills. You build skills by trying something new and then working on it until it’s easy. You build confidence by doing something scary and succeeding.
So maybe riding by the cliffside isn’t where you need to build confidence right now. We need to build up somewhere analogous. Can you make turns on a narrow trail? Can you use the whole trail width? Try skidding so that you splash snow on the trees. Try making small turns so that you only take up a little bit of the trail.
Maybe you can then try something more difficult to build confidence. Can you go off a little jump or side hit? Learn how to manual or nose roll?
Since you have a goal you can break it down into smaller pieces. Every little piece is a success, it’s evidence that you’re good.
City folks are definitely a thing, and suburban folks ain’t much different. The US is big and has a lot of rural communities. Even the most populated states (California, Texas, New York) all have large areas of agriculture or otherwise sparse population
I mean, I guess, it depends, that being said I did work as a roofer for a while. Do you feel confident that you can stop yourself before you get to the cliff? Matching your fear to the actual danger of the situation means there may actually be very little danger in the situation if you’re good enough not to get near the edges. Like Alex honnold (free climber) is retired now and only does easy safe free climbs. But it’s relative to him, they would all be suicidal for me.
Am I making sense?
safety meeting over here
Yeah, I get you on the tiny mountains, been snowboarding in buffalo region. Pro tip to annoy your friends from buffalo, tell them it’s the Midwest.
I still believe fear is a major blocker for people to improve. Snowboarding is a sport that benefits from being relaxed and in control, being tense instead of loose makes progress much slower. Finding out how you can build your confidence is where to start. How scary are falls? Wear knee pads so you have a safe thing to fall on, and to save your knees(I’m a big fan of knee pads, I recommend g-form.) Learn how to slide and roll out of falls, I hurt myself less on the super steep trails because when I fall I slide instead of bounce off the ground.
Lots of beginners are afraid of their toe edge, this is because usually they try to balance on their toes. We shouldn’t be relying on our calf muscles for that, since they are fast and twitchy. Instead, if we let our shins rest against the tongue of the boot, our slow strong thigh muscles are much easier to balance with.
Get a lesson. Youtube videos are amazing, I learn things from them all the time. But having someone good watch you ride can solve so many issues because they can see stuff your eyes can’t.
Lastly, workout. Get in shape. You will be less likely to hurt yourself falling or getting up. You will also be able to preform snowboarding skills much easier with a well-developed body and will have a better understanding of how to feel your body position and move your body.
Sorry for that wall of text
I know a few trans or nonbinary folks. They either go by he, she, or they. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t. Then again I live in a weird progressive rural community.
But if someone asks me to refer to them a particular way, sure what not? It means more to them than it means to me.
I’ve taught snowboarding for like 12 years? The best advice it to get an understanding your fear. At some point along the line, my fear response has turned into an adrenaline response. So when I learned how to mountain bike this year, after a couple of falls I really started to make progress. The more fear becomes excitement, the faster you’re going to learn. That being said, you want your fear to meet up with the actual danger of the situation, not exceed it, that’s how you die in an avalanche. Confidence also fits in there too.
When I was training instructors last year, the clinic that seemed to help them out the most was when I filmed them riding. Get a friend to take videos of you, you’ll try your hardest, and you’ll be able to see where you need improvement (if you’re following along with YouTube tutorials.)
The aspects have a little nub at the back for them to lever over. I looked them up, it doesn’t look like they have that.
I’ve got a pair ride fuse for the front country and k2 aspect for the back country. They both use boa for tightening the liner, which I don’t hate. Can the insano take crampons? I’m not a huge fan of the aspect
I wonder if they thought picking Big E to represent trump was ironic or not. Because the emperor made a bunch of mistakes that made everything a whole lot worse for a whole bunch of people. Like this is dystopian fiction we’re talking about.
The orks are good, but only from their moral lens. Fighting=good, green=good, gits=bad, krumping gits=good. The only reason we think of them is good is because there’s a lot of information on orc psychology, whereas we see the other races as more or less human instead of the aliens that they are.
Fuck i should help make the Warhammer communities here more active
So like, what problem does immortality solve? Because when I think about, it’s just giving me more time to deal with more problems. Like how good of a person I am doesn’t change if I live longer.
How would being immortal make your life better? because I’m just not sure I get it.
