Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.
I have actually been held at gunpoint many times in a dictatorship, by the leftists dictator forces.
I have actually gone through famine for years caused by leftists, and survived to tell the tale.
I also have survived a leftist dictatorship and escaped successfully from one
Weird flex but okay
At some level extreme governments are the same, Left or Right. At that point the polarity of the government doesn’t really matter to anyone except the people looking to escape it. They’re authoritarian dictatorships, oligarchies, kleptocracies, whatever…they just pay lip service to whatever form of government they claim to run “for the people” and hoard wealth and power to the top. So it may be a “leftist” government on the surface, but it’s just an authoritarian one in all the points that matter.
I’m pretty good at… just about everything. With some rare exceptions, just about every new thing I try, I pick up really quickly, and am pretty good at it. Ice skating, volleyball, stand-up comedy, acting, dancing, singing, gymnastics, hockey, rugby, capoeira, woodworking, drawing, painting, sculpture, chemist, surgery, gardening, swimming/diving… Just a whole bunch of random stuff that I’ve had the opportunity to try and… yeah, I’m pretty good at 'em.
I’ve often thought about being the subject of some sort of “Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe” style show except they challenge me with new tasks/activities to see if they can find something I legitimately suck at.
That’s called being a Dilettante. Jack of all trades, master of none.
No offence intended, but that’s hardly uncommon enough to be show-worthy.
samesies.
I picked up some books on genetic sequencing and used it to improve my teleportation machine.
I’m about to test it myself in about an hour.
🤞Hope nothing goes wrong. I’ll come back later if anything new happens.
edit: my experiment was a failure… there was a contamination in the chamber and now I fear for the worst. I might be able to reverse this mistake, but I’m so hungry right now.
I’ve actively moderated the Zootopia subreddit almost since its inception. We did a lot of cool stuff but, uh, moderating a subreddit is not the kind of thing you brag about. Anyway, i quit this year.
Also i have every single r/place-related medal because i helped organize artworks. That’s not any better is it?
Genuinely once or twice in 8 years. People knew the rules.
But the rules around NSFW content were a point of contention, i placed the bar a lot lower than most people in the community would have it. To the point that there was huge controversy a couple times, and i realized that they saw me more as a cop than a janitor. People really wanted to see rabbit hole
Everything about me is a weird flex
- I invented two novel fire eating tricks, one of which involves my split tongue
- I can scratch the back of my skull through my nose with an icepick. I can also put a running power drill in my nose or feed a silicone tube through and out the mouth
- I often shave with a torch or lighter
That… raises some questions 😅
Can I assume that you’re some kind of performer or is this stuff you’re just doing as a hobby or when bored?
Did you mean „inside of your skull“ or actually the back of your skull? Cause if it’s the latter, I thought there would be some… err… critical components in the way of the icepick?
Was there any reason you tried these things or dis you just go „hmm, how about…?“
Also - this is the most pressing one - is there a video of you with your powerdrill?
Yeah, I’m a sideshow performer (fka a freakshow). This is my fav video of the drill because of the audience reaction
I’d love to see that but I don’t have an Instagarm account—would you happen to have it hosted anywhere else?
I didn’t realize there were fire eating tricks (other than a touch transfer or dragon’s breath), but I only dabbled in it ~20 years ago-- my main focus was with fire staff. What’s the trick that doesn’t involve your tongue?
Vapor tricks have come a very long way over the last 20 years. Look up Joseph Kerr if you wanna see insane shit. I’ve met him before, he’s super friendly.
Fire staff was my first prop :P
I don’t have insta and your account is age restricted so I can’t see it. The Joseph Kerr stuff looks cool though. Also saw some other vids of maintaining fire in the mouth for long durations-- cool stuff.
Wish there was a community near me so I could get back into fire stuff.
I tried to buy Bitcoin at 3000$ (though I was stopped due to regulations as I was a minor)
Bro same but waaaaay before then. I think it was 100 ish? My mother didn’t allow me to have a savings account and I was trying to save money without withdrawing cash. The only way I could withdraw cash was to go to a mall, and it was like having to pass a casino as a recovering gambling addict. Long story blah blah
