Screenshot of Tweets that say: "Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up. My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people who profess to like it."

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Hey friends of Czar, I have another update. There was a small seizure but he is fine now. Will be in rehab therapy in SF (town) for 6 weeks. But it sounds like he’s making lots of big leaps forward.

So if possible, I know times are tough, please keep reposting & sharing & donating if you can, ty! 🙏

this is just good advice for every competitive field, tbh.
Chapter 5, Lesson 5 (Level 1) Don't dwell on bad luck There are times in mahjong when you can't help but think, "Why am I so unlucky?" Maybe you've had several hands in a row with nothing but dead draws. Mavbe vou've lost three consecutive head-on riichi clashes. Maybe it's been a long stretch with no top finishes at all. You'll often hear players voice these frustrations aloud Is there any actual benefit to focusing on these kinds of things? The human brain can only hold about four pieces of short-term information at once. Meanwhile, a single hand of mahjong throws an overwhelming amount of data at you: your own tile acceptance, other players* tile choices, discarded patterns, point spread, call reads, and more. Just tracking those is enough to max out your mental bandwidth. What happens when you start cluttering that space with noise like "How many turns of dead draws have I had?" That's right. You lose the capacity to process the information that actually matters. That, in turn, causes you to play worse and that spiral is one of the real causes of a cold streak. The most important skill here is to not dwell on misfortune. It's easy to feel like you're the only one getting unlucky, but it's a trick of the game's structure. Mahjong is designed in a way where you can't really see other people's bad luck. Maybe you win a 1,000-point hand, but maybe someone else was sitting on a four-dora monster that never came together. (Page 170) Maybe the opponent across from you (toimen) who folded might have been stuck in a perfect one tile awav from tenpai (kanzen iishanten) with ten straight useless draws. Maybe you have a middle wait and it turns out that all the tiles were part of someone else's hand. Bad luck happens to everyone in equal measure. The best way to deal with bad luck is by reminding yourself: "I'm not the only one who's unlucky" then mentally delete the experience. This frees up your attention and memory to play mahjong better and helps you play with a fresher overall mindset. (Page 171)

the ol' one-two is boxing jargon for a jab followed by a cross. six-seven would be mma jargon for a rear uppercut followed by a front push kick, which is... weird.

'six-seven' is actually a form of 'the old one-two,' simply adjusted for inflation. leading economists predict that if current trends continue the children of 2050 may call it 'the new nine-eleven' (no etymological relation)

Feels really strange to log in and see everyone saying stuff like “I always hated Dick” and “I’m glad Dick is gone for good” when normally everyone on this site is constantly like “I love dick” and “could really use some dick rn”
