Has no one read Book of Five Rings? The glaive is ass, since it is basically a spear with more downsides. If you will be fighting in long corridors or have plenty of room to maneuver, you take the spear. If you are fighting in more cramped spaces or crowded rooms or may be attacked from multiple angles, we suggest the longsword for beginners, but really any warrior worth his salt will be using a longsword and companion sword. Meditate on this.

As someone who very briefly seems to be having severe digestive issues I do not envy anyone who has to deal with this longterm. It's difficult to get into detail in any way that sounds heroic or endearing unlike say mental health issues or any other type of organ malfunction.

Many people are saying/Discursive realism

It must be frustrating…

…

Alice: People online are concerned the sky is turning green. Bob: Source? Alice: [tweet] [tweet] [tweet] Bob: This is not a valid source. I still think the sky is blue.

Alice: People are saying the sky is green. Bob: Source? Alice: [tweet] [tweet] [tweet] Bob: The plural of anecdote is not data. Alice: [link to representative survey] Bob: I looked outside, the sky is still blue.

Alice: Many people think the economy is doing worse. Bob: The economy is actually doing great! Alice: [link to survey result] Bob: These people are wrong about the economy. The economy is doing great. Alice: It doesn't matter what the "economy" is doing when people have less to eat. People need to eat. Bob: But these are connected. People should have more money to buy food. Alice: [link to study about economic perceptions and consumer behaviour]

Alice: Many people are saying Linux is hard to use. Bob: Which usability problems are troubling you? Alice: I'm not saying I have problems. I don't think Linux is hard to use. Bob: So you admit Linux is easy to use. Alice: That's not what I meant! Many people are saying that Linux is hard to use! Bob: No, admit it. You were wrong about Linux!

…

Alice: There is a cultural belief in Korea that leaving the fan running while you are sleeping can suffocate you. Bob: How does this even work? Alice: By chopping up the air into many pieces. Bob: This doesn't make any sense. Alice: I know, right?

…

Alice: That thing you just did is considered rude here. Bob: What thing? This? Alice: Yes, that. Bob: But you know I didn't meant to be rude. Alice: Just don't do it again. Bob: Why not? This rule doesn't make any sense. It's not rude at home in America. Do you know why it is considered rude here? Alice: Nobody knows. This taboo goes back to the middle ages. Bob: So if I tell people that I don't mean to be rude, they will understand? Alice: No, if you tell them you know about the taboo, and did a rude thing on purpose, they will not understand. They will consider it extra rude. Bob: This is irrational. Why are you defending this?

I went to see Notre Dame de Paris live recently and oh my god, Daniel Lavoie was performing as Frollo. I never thought I would be able to catch one of the original performers and at 75 years old he still had presence and power in his voice, amazing experience.
