I wanted to have an easier time when talking to girls and honestly I think it helped a bit
Depends, cheaper for kids, for adults usually around the price of a nicer rock climbing gym or like a premium ish gym (cheaper than someplace like equinox, pricier than somewhere like crunch)
Tournaments super pricy but optional
Equipment is dumb expensive but most places will let u rent or borrow and you need to use shitty equipment anyways till u know what u like. Then u usually get it piece by piece. But once u get it, it’ll last ur entire life unless ur like an athlete lol.
It’s solo equipment only usually so u don’t need to worry about things like organizing a pitch or getting nets and goals and whatever, everyone brings their own stuff and the gym provides whatever else would be needed
And fencing gyms are rather social environments, nothing like trying to stab someone with a blunt foil to make a friend
Fencing.
Something about being 1v1 with an opponent and facing them in the closest sport to simulated combat other than a martial art just causes me to immediately hyperfocus during a bout. Probably the only time I’ve ever felt that ADHD is a strength.
Also in fencing being skinny is a super duper great advantage.
It’s fucking exhausting tho, a 2 minute bout will absolutely wipe u out at first, both muscularly and cardiovascularly.
You’ll be incentivized to lift and do sprints to improve your technique.
Practicing parries and ripostes is also anything but boring, with each repetition you really feel the intricacy of each motion and it’s never ever boring since you can just imagine your doing it against an opponent
Moderates compromise with whoever controls the most seats in legislature
What’s to stop them from compromising with the base of the party that won and become even more auth facist as a result
My first experience was 3.5 g from the start, intense but was fun and a good way to know how it feels like while remaining mostly cognizant. I was very very open to the experience tho, if ur trepidatious, I’d suggest 2 -2.5 g first time in one dose
May we all learn from his mistakes and heed his call for better empathetic communication in our daily interactions.
Unless the worker is vastly underpaid nothing is worth that
While I agree that less mindless work is better as someone from nj, it’s quite nice not having to get out of my car to pump gas when it’s cold windy rainy or snowing or stupidly hot
They also wipe windshields and rear windows for free with the squeegee stick
Maybe in some future where we drive up to automated car chargers that can plug ur car in or auto battery swaps I’ll call gas pumpers redundant but honestly It’s not that bad a deal if it needs a person
Ehh it’s not really that bad if you’ve already met in person, more an issue if you’re trying to meet someone off tinder
