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

Thanks friend! May all us get some well deserved rest

Me but with tiredness and depression instead of bologna

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

The thing is, an environment or surrounding makes a huge amount of difference for affecting your mood. A sunny tropical beach vs a polluted urban city is quite the change

I used to when I was in my teens, when 4chan wasn’t as “well known” by so many people. It was definitely wild then. Now I don’t really have the desire to browse there or anywhere else besides Lemmy

Hmm that’s something that I might try out, as I have tinnitus for one of my ears

Even when there’s an alien invasion, people would still be slaves to their jobs 😔

As a person who’s been in a Little Caesar’s, can confirm. That’s why the pizzas are so cheap, you must escape a liminal space first

I can’t speak for where you live in, but these are still real considerations for any pet owner. Wild life still exists inside and outside of urban areas, especially suburban areas. Just because there may not be as much sightings of predators around the areas you live in doesn’t mean the same for other people who live in different areas

You also got to realize people are also putting their cats at risk by letting them go out on their own while there are wild life out. There are coyotes, predatory birds, big cats, etc. that will not hesitate in including house cats as their food. There are too many stories of cat owners losing their cats because they never came back home

Just in case people do take this seriously, birds are important. If you want to take your cats out, supervise them or put them on a leash. The environment and your cats ARE better off not mangling with each other.

Need to check in the fridge. Might be running low on pure hearts

My partner has trouble sleeping due to anxiety. She takes Melatonin at night as a sleep aid that’s not a prescription

I know it’s all for laughs but these pandas were surviving just fine on their own. It was only because (of course) due to humans destroying their habitat that they were on the brink of extinction. And people underestimate how strong they are. They’re still bears that can easily shred you

GameCube was the Nokia of the gaming consoles. Actually, it probably still is.

Yeah it seems like he’s playing, pretending to stalk his “prey” and the bagel looks like a plush bagel
