@thundermont @SlumRNA_Dog I believe it was because they trained to optimize for the new electronic hit detectors. I never got good enough to tell the difference, but there were plenty of times you hit but slide and it isn't called, and those wouldn't of stuck with actual swords, but it does with tech.

So from what I can tell as an expert martial artist, is that the fencing Meta seems to be about wiggling your sword around at each other until one of you works up the courage to go to for a lunge

@jshardycpb @SlumRNA_Dog Your feet can't cross over each other and there's actually very few reasons to move like that. You are basically doing a lateral short hop off the back foot and if you are that confident in your space in timing you should have just poked him already.

@Gamma681 @SlumRNA_Dog Was it always done on a mat thats shaped like a hallway to remove sidestepping?

@ReivelationsYT The existence of quartering fan death threats implies the existence of quartering fans. Hmmmmm. This is a fascinating development.

@SlumRNA_Dog The thing you're looking for is sabering. It's been described as "Fencing is skill, Epée is truth, and Saber is art (larp)" and its probably the closest thing you'll get to hema without dealing with the insufferable autism of hema.

@SlumRNA_Dog Eh, it was historically to first blood so like, it's sort of like if MMA had a 1 finger death punch, they banned it, but then brought it back once it was safe, so it was 300 years of wibbly wobbly arm poking, 50 years of badassery, and right back to wibbly wobbly arm poking.

@Scareticulus @CopeAndSeetheYT You're like 3 years behind the news cycle. He's been begging for money for a coffee company that doesn't seem to exist beyond a label, and he's striking people left and right while blatantly stealing content. This video itself was made when he supposedly was already rich.

@CopeAndSeetheYT You know it would help your case if you guys brought up legitimately horrible things Quartering was doing. This video is a literal nothing burger. The guy was small time and promoting his shit at the time? What do you expect?

You mean this video, good god has The Quartering ever had any self respect? A sad, pathetic, cry for Help indeed HAHAHAHA

@muskyblacksheep @AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy "There's only one place that's 200 miles from civilization" "By that I mean 20 miles from a road" "By that I mean 200 miles from a road" "By one place I mean a 1.7 million square kilometer area larger than-"

@Gamma681 @AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy Like I said, there's only one place in the US where you're more than ~20 miles from a road. That's in Alaska, which btw, is less than 1/5 of the US, not 1/3. And even there you're at most 100mi +/- 20mi from a road. 200 miles from a road means you're on an island in the sea.

This a neutral topic of mine for quite some time. What is the actual ecological damage of ppl stacking rocks? I always thought of it as a few moments someone wasn’t on their phone but in nature doing something. Figuring out a puzzle of going higher when they can’t just ask grok how to do it.

@jaymart222 @u_m_a_m_i Lad he makes art for free. Like, he gives it away for free. People willingly pay him money. For free. He doesn't sell it. It's free. "Ahhhhh the government restricts me" yeah because the last time they didn't you were comedically evil. And I say that as a giant chud. Follow?

Clearly I’m dealing with a superior intellect. It’s like if you were making a living selling your shitty art and the government came along and said, sorry umami, people who need art must have it at a certain price even though the probably need to make a living we are going to require you sell it at a loss. Sooner or later you’d be fucked. You may find other work but the world would be deprived of your talents. Follow ?

Landlords treat real estate like a God given right profit YOY. As soon as it doesn't, they lose it. You could have bought space stocks and been up a gazillion %. Instead, your plan was to hoard a moldy shoebox & squeeze a geriatric until death. It was your choice. Live with it.

@CourtneyMeehan3 @pvtjokerus The Acadia national park literally has a list of authorized cairns and remove unauthorized cairns. I don't have to try to knock them over. There is a man payed to hike up and down the trail and knock them over. You can either be passionate or ignorant. Don't be both.

@Gamma681 @pvtjokerus Come to Acadia National Park or The White Mountains National Forest and try kicking them over.

They’re called cairns, moron. They’re purposely erected in areas where a trail is hard to find. Knocking them over could result in hikers getting lost. Some of them kids.

@muskyblacksheep @AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy It literally does lmao. Just accept it you forgot about the upper third of the US like what are you even trying to argue now? Can you even name where that is?

@Gamma681 @AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy Your map doesn't show a place that is 200 miles from civilization

@OfAthenry "What are you doing" >Cleaning "But what if I need to know I'm near a civilization" >You wont "But the Ancient Swedes say piles of waste feed the fae" >We aren't in Sweden "What if there was a historical battle here" >There wasn't "Do you even hike here?" >Yes

Protecting our ecosystem & pissing off hippies are both GREAT reasons to knock down cairns. Hippies are some of the most hypocritical people to ever walk the earth & cairns damage the environment. The video below is a dry creek bed. When the water rises again, animals will populate that water, they'll take shelter next to those rocks. When the water eventually knocks the rocks over, they crush the animals. Animals like the extremely endangered hellbender salamander. I don't think animals should die for your Instagram rock piles, not even salamanders. The difference between you and me, is that I know why I'm destroying piles of rocks, while you're simply upset because it upsets other dummies like you. If you're scared you'll get lost on a trail without piles of stones to guide you like some retarded druid, buy a map & compass.

@CourtneyMeehan3 @pvtjokerus "Not in the Geongnyam-Buldak-Guango region of South Korea". Okay? You have professionally maintained trails in New England with little shit pits. You definitely have someone knocking over cairns lmao.

@Gamma681 @pvtjokerus Not in New England

@muskyblacksheep @AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy "Like a modern Vasco De Gamma" buddy the US has dedicated regions that are free from development. You can just go there. You're allowed to just go there. There are no bathrooms. If I told you what you use instead of TP you wouldn't believe me.

@Gamma681 @AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy Bragging about going somewhere "200 miles from civilization", like some modern day Vasco de Gamma, only to go exploring someone else shit. There's only one place in the US that you're more than 20 miles from a road and you're such a tourist you're keeping close to the bathrooms.

@AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy No, you should care a lot about nature looking natural because it's the single best heuristic for if it's undergoing the tragedy of the commons. "My house is in the woods" bro I got charged by a bear here 120 miles from civilization. We are not having the same conversation.

@Gamma681 @it_a_me_knowlzy Well yeah but like, you shouldn't care about nature looking natural, you should care about the ecosystem being healthy. These stacks can be good habitats for several small animals like insects and lizards. A pile of shit rearranged to spell "I shat here" doesn't look natural to

@pvtjokerus I have hiked and worked where there are no trails. The cairns out there are not real, and are more likely to lead you off a cliff b/c someone built one where they were shitting. Someone's job is literally kicking the fake ones over where you hike btw.

Every single person you see in the comments that supports knocking over cairns has never been anywhere near the backcountry or had to navigate overgrown and rocky areas where the trail has disappeared. Complete frauds.

@Strangeland_Elf I assure you we take the field of dragonology very seriously b/c when we get the funding to play god we're gonna have to tackle the "vertebrate with 6 limbs" issue at some point and if it gets put off making scaley chickens again I'm going to be furious.

Are you people serious? Like do you hear yourself? A wyvern is a type of dragon. The distinction between them is completely modern and made up by nerds who want to “well actually” others.

@OfAthenry It's hilarious how people who have never encountered rock stackers don't realize these are 600+ strong slapshod piles made from the rivers right beside them and not some kind of historical shrine.

Kick these stupid things down every time you see them. They disrupt the ecosystem.

@AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy "But the rocks were already there" well so is cellulose and nitrogen and bear shit but when you rearrange it all into an obvious neon sign that screams "I TOOK A FAT SHIT HERE" soon all that's left is a testament to how many people are taking fat shits.

@AutisticFun01 @it_a_me_knowlzy Have you been 200 miles from civilization? The TP is discoloration in the soil from someone too proud to use rocks 10 years ago. The stacked rocks have never been in such a pile. It's a sign of mankind dragging it's uncaring fingers across the last bit of land we hold in common.
