It makes sense now.

• tiktok being down = MILDLY infuriating (the name of this community)
• people using tiktok = MASSIVELY infuriating

I think you’re taking heat a little bit unfairly. This is, after all, the MILDLY infuriating community, and it can be a hassle when something stops working for you, even if it’s perfectly reasonable for it to happen.

No way, that’s the guy who said the industrial revolution and its consequences are a disaster for humans.

That sounds an awful lot like “don’t do anything that might upset the Christians.”

FWIW I interpreted this as unironically uplifting, along the lines of “Where the Wild Things Are”.

I don’t understand everything on this chart, but it looks like sh.itjust.works lagged a bit over the past 24 hours and is now catching up.

Well you’ve got a lot of great recommendtions in general on this post, but while we’re on the topic of war movies:

• Gettysburg (1993) has some great character studies, the book it’s based on is “The Killer Angels” and also worth reading
• Zulu (1964) is another product of its times but they did an outstanding job, and it’s a solid depiction of English defensive tactics of the late 1800s

Yah, OP seems to like war movies, so I’d add:

• A Bridge Too Far - a classic, tho kinda old-fashioned moviemaking
• Apocalypse Now - another classic, still seems fresh
• Waterloo - the only good movie about Napoleon
• 1917 - some really amazing camerawork

dunno I don’t use mobile clients for piefed… I think there’s one but don’t know much about it.

Piefed is awesome. I really like Scheduled Posts, as well as Feeds (which are collections of communities). There are only a couple reasons why keep my lemmy.world account: uploading images in comments is difficult in piefed, and I don’t think piefed supports custom preview for youtube videos yet. But I imagine those will be fixed at some point in the near future.

a classic: “Hallowed Be Thy Name” by Iron Maiden.

I still remember the first time I heard that song.

good bot.

Nah, when I was a teen I was dealing with childhood trauma but didn’t realize it til late 20s early 30s. Luckily I was then dealt a whole new unrelated trauma. So teenagehood was like 2 traumas ago.

Aw yeah, if you already know your rolls and breakfalls, Aikido is a great thing to check out. At lower levels, the “attacks” are basically two-person katas, usually involving escaping from grabs. At upper levels they do have something called randori but even then it’s all very structured. Aikido gets made fun of sometimes for not having a “live” adversary who’s actively trying to beat you. I’ve read there are some dojos that do competitive Aikido, but I think that’s rare.

In the martial arts, Tai Chi is the obvious answer.

Consider Aikido. It’s generally more like choreographed exercises. A lot of dojos are very understanding of physical constraints. Check with your doctor, it might be good way to gently test your limits. Plus, it’s important to know how to fall safely.
