Elie Weisel, author of the legendary Holocaust autobiography, Night, once reprimanded a letter writer by saying, essentially, “ I do not give you permission to compare your suffering to mine. Our suffering is relative, and fills our own cups up equally.” Which I think is the essential lesson here. Our lives and our…

I always love this comment, usually from the musician or ‘music lover’ that is always offended, threatened by a technically skilled individual. For what reason? I’ll never know. I, for one, am always humbled to find new developing talent that at their age, are outperforming me with 10+ years on them.

I give up. This should be a THIS gif but it got kinja’d.

100% yes.

Caitlyn Jenner is a women. Referring to her as a man is insulting at best. But she is not a nice person and besides coming out, which if she wanted to live her true authentic life she had to do - so that was for herself, what has she really done for the community?

It can both be true that Caitlyn Jenner is not deserving of the Woman of the Year, and that this guy is an asshole for calling her a man.

Internet chess thumping, this guy....

I’m a drummer too...I always come in skeptical to videos like this. But I was impressed. I’m not impressed by your comment though, and I doubt you can lay down a better groove than she does. I’m sure if she decides not to go all technical it’s still groovier than you.

You must be a riot at parties.

Speedrunners do this tactic as well, like Trihex playing Yoshi’s Island, where he will continue to spam buttons while nothing is happening so the muscles in his hand stay fluid and active, so that when the game calls for rapid button inputs, his hand is ready and able.

It helps. Keeping your fingers warm and fluid and moving at a more or less constant rate the entire game keeps your hands ready to adapt to changing circumstances.

It’s basically a warm up exercise. The further you get into the game the more of those key presses are actually doing something. This early in the game a lot of the key presses are just to keep your fingers moving but it gets you ready as your base becomes larger.

I have a friend who had the jersey number of her favourite hockey player tattooed on her shoulder. That same summer I went with her to a sports expo and stood in line with her until she got to the head of the line, where she pulled down her t-shirt to show Mr Hockey Player. He looked absolutely horrified.

This is on my ass. On the way to Spring Break (1st year of law school) I told my friends if they thought of something clever enough and paid for my drinks all week I would get a tattoo. The runner up was “Mo Money Mo Problems.”

My friend is a die-hard Miami sports fan and has a tattoo of a marlin riding a dolphin on his bicep/shoulder. It reads “305 til I dye”

Right, exactly. Her mom calling her “chinita” because of her straight hair is not the same as her mom calling her hair “pelo chino”.

Definitely - but I do have a Mexican friend who kind of looks Asian and she jokingly refers to herself as “chinita” - so it could be that “chinita” is not actually referring to “pelo chino”, if that makes sense?
