In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard. “The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.”

He plots stories on 2 axes: X: Time, Y: Good fortune / ill fortune. He goes on to say, “Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.”

Point 1: Stories have defined patterns.

In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey. Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world. Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes.

Each story, he said, fit one of the 8.

Point 2: Vonnegut says, “Be a sadist.”

No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.” To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer. Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for.

Point 3: End on a high note.

Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.” The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it. It’s called recency bias. Lift people up and they will love you.

“There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.” —Kurt Vonnegut

WRITING PRO TIP: things and people in your stories can be both morally complex and still definitively good or bad

If she's not hot enough (or you just feel like it), look at porn on your phone while she sucks your dick. She's a toy for you, and her role is to make you feel as good as possible. You don't have to pay attention to her unless you're in the mood to grab her by the hair and cum down her throat. A good, obedient bitch will understand that your wishes and happiness are always paramount.

Truth Bomb #4: Sometimes doing the right thing doesn’t always feel right.

You may feel guilt even after doing something that was absolutely needed and making the correct choice.

You can’t make everyone happy and its fine. You are not responsible for anyone else’s emotions.

Doing the right thing isn’t always easy or emotionally pain-free. Doing the right thing can sometimes alienate you from others or have an impact on your wellbeing.

Some people have a fear of conflict, fear of being left out or fearing being alone; but these fears must not stop you from standing up for what you believe in. Even if you’re standing up just for yourself and no one else, you’re doing the right thing.

Everything has a limit to it or it becomes unhealthy. Even “good” things such as extending kindness, being empathetic, giving second chances, listening to someone’s problems has a limit to it. It’s OKAY to establish that limit for yourself because no one else will.

Regardless of the outcome, even if you learn the hard way that you actually did something wrong, its still a lesson learned. Either way, its a win-win. You win some and you learn some.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Everyone makes bad decisions, sometimes with the right intent.

But not everyone works on themselves, protects themselves, and learns from their wrongdoings. To take accountability is difficult, but it is the first step to actually maturing for the better.

Idk if everyone knows this, but on google maps, you can place a pin anywhere on the map and add it to a list. I usually like to do this when I park my car in a new place I'm not used to like at the massive airport parking lot or a parking garage in a new city.

All you gotta do is find where you are on the map (which on google maps is a little blue circle). You're gonna press down on the circle until a dropped pin pops up like this.

Then click the save button and a list will pop up and you can choose where to save the pin and even add a note to it.

I like to add a note that says this is where I parked near a restaurant or, if I'm parking in a multi level parking garage, what floor I parked on and if I have to pay before I go back to my car.

It's super helpful! I wanted to share it with everyone since I know it may not be super common knowledge.

Please spam this post with things that are good to know for survival etc. Stuff that can save lives. I’ll start.

If you have urges to sh, grab a pen and start tracing your veins with it. Like, draw your arms full. Keep doing that until the urges aren’t as intense. You’re doing great <333

Any game can be turn based if you make enough rules for yourself.

Among my friends, the questions asked were not the typical moralistic questions of whether or not you should punch Nazis. Apparently, they viewed this less as a moral dilemma and more as a moral imperative. Instead, the questions revolved more around how to punch a Nazi most effectively.

As a martial artist with a special interest in practical self-defense, I decided that I could help tackle some of these; to create a Nazi-punching FAQ, in other words.

Should I wait for the Nazi to punch first?

While some would advocate this as a way to avoid any criminal or civil charges, this is generally a mistake, as this will normally happen only when they outnumber you 6 to 1, because all Nazis are cowards who skulk in the dark like cockroaches.

From a self-defense perspective, it is of paramount importance to seize the initiative. If you allow your opponent to have the initiative, it puts you in a reactive state and at a severe disadvantage.

Preemption is thus greatly preferred and can be rationalized as long as you can articulate why you struck first and why this constituted legal self-defense. A sincere belief that you were under immediate risk of bodily harm normally suffices for this. Why did you feel you were in immediate danger? Because he’s a fucking Nazi, that’s why.

What’s the best way to make the punch count?

Contrary to popular belief, the most effective strikes are rarely punches. Unless you have trained in self-defense and are used to punching things (plenty of no-gloves bag-work, etc), I recommend AGAINST punching with a closed fist. While it can be a very effective strike, it also opens the striker up to injury — breaking the metatarsal bones in the hand is very common, as is damage to the wrist from poor alignment. For this very reason, most martial arts gloves also incorporate wrist-stabilization.

Instead, I would recommend open handed “power bitch-slaps” to get your point across, or better yet, go with a solid elbow. It’s the hardest point on your body so is nearly impervious to injury, and be sure to get your hips into the action for full effect.

How can I throw a punch without looking like I’m “Heil Hitler-ing”?

If you can get close enough, making it look like your “Seig Heil”-ing is an excellent way to make it look like you’re not a threat. I recommend the eyes or throat as targets while striking with a spear-hand technique.

If you’re worried about looking like a Nazi supporter to others standing nearby, make sure your punch is a left-handed one. It’s important to train the off-hand punches too, and this is a great reason why.

A left-hook cannot be confused with an alt-right.

Does the headbutt have a role here?

The head butt is an extremely effective and common technique that is best applied if you are British and/or a “soccer hooligan”.

This technique is also an excellent preemptive strike that I discourage only because it means you have to get even closer to the fucking Nazi to utilize.

What if you’re too short to headbutt the Nazi?

You can crouch slightly and explode up and into the underside of the chin, it’s a personal favorite headbutt of mine and doesn’t require being tall.

I’m short and have weak shoulders. Is it acceptable to kick a Nazi in the bollocks instead?

If you can find them, yes. Be aware that they’re likely to be tiny and withered if they have any at all.

While the groin is indeed a very tender area and a way to immediately get the full and undivided attention of any pussy-grabbing Nazi nearby, be aware that it’s also an area that all boys and men have been accustomed to guarding their entire lives (mostly from other boys and men who think it’s hilarious to hit their “friend” there when they aren’t expecting anything).

It should be viewed as a target of opportunity, but there are often easier ones presented.

How do you make it look accidental?

I recommend a trip and an “accidental” elbow. When you go to apologize and help him up, make sure to accidentally step on something. Preferably his groin, though that might look bad if on camera.

I do highly recommend, once again, to re-stomp the groin as a solid disengagement technique.

I have a multiple part question, just in case I am feeling especially giddy at the opportunity to punch a Nazi. 1) Can I punch more than once? 2) How much is too much? 3) Best technique for throwing multiple punches. 4) When I do get tired, can I rest & then resume punching?

These are all excellent questions, and require multifaceted answers. First of all, punching more than once is primarily a matter of situational awareness. Is the Nazi alone? If he has friends nearby, then the sniper method is best; hit him hard and fast, and leave quickly. See Richard Spencer’s excellent demos for examples of this. The same may apply if there is a local law enforcement presence, as they are unlikely to understand the nuance of the situation.

2) If the Nazi is alone, then punching more than once is more likely to be fully efficacious. How much is too much? Well, if he renounces his terrible worldview and makes a sincere pledge to turn his life around, you should probably stop.

3) The best techniques for throwing multiple punches? To be honest, flurries of punches are far more likely to result in abrasions, breaking your hand or damaging your wrist than a single shot would. If you can obtain a mounted position such as in MMA, you’d be advised to rain down elbows instead. If you can’t maintain a mount and still feel the need for multiple strikes, I recommend using a force multiplier. This can be any common object within easy reach. A protest sign, a rock, another Nazi… you get the idea.

4) Make sure to retain situational awareness before attempting this. It’s probably best to just go home by now, especially if there’s anyone nearby who may have misinterpreted your discussion and contacted law enforcement.

The fact that I am German makes me uniquely qualified for Nazi punching, since it potentially would confuse the to-be-punched Nazi that someone from the Vaterland would attempt to rearrange their facial structures. What’s the best way to take advantage of this?

Get close, speak German, click your heels in the Prussian manner as, with a slight bow, you bring your forehead down on the bridge of his nose. It could be an accident.

Okay, I’m done punching this Nazi. What’s the best way to disengage without risking a counterattack?

Well, if he’s still conscious, I’d utilize the advice of Master Ken, and always re-stomp the groin. If he’s unconscious, the same advice applies.

Tips for milking the most cum possible out of my cock:

Once I start cumming, don't stop making me feel good. Throwing it back? Make sure you're continuing the rhythm. Sucking my cock? Don't just let it spill in your mouth, suck out every last drop like it's a milkshake. Jerking me off? Make sure to keep playing with the glans and the frenulum until there's nothing left.

So many dumb whores just hold my cock on their tongues and let it all spill out. Nah, you need to keep up the pressure! That's the difference between one or two lame dribbles of cum and several strong ropes down your throat.

TLDR: WC are awesome to practice design cause they can be interpreted so differently! shapes are very important and while they help colors and patterns are not a must. Conveying a char.'s personality is important!

If you ever have hiccups, take a big, slow breath in and hold it for 3-5 seconds and then let it out slowly. It should work immediately, but if not, simply repeat until it does.
