THE BOTS ARE GETTING SMARTER

i mean this in the gentlest possible way but if 75% of what you're posting for a given fandom is fuming rage spirals then maybe just maybe it's time to take a step back and consider whether or not you're actually having any fun with this optional thing you do for fun

What’s included:

Reprogramming the subconscious:

The subconsciousness is the part of your mind that works below your consciousness. It works behind the scenes, absorbing or rejecting information based on an existing perception you have of the world around you.

The subconsciousness was programmed this way from when you were an infant to the age of 7, which was when your brain was in a theta state (hypnosis state) learning by observing everything your parents did. After the age of 7, the way you learn changes to repetition and habituation, doing something repeatedly until you're good at it.

So you've been trying to shift, but whatever you do something or the other comes up or you keep sabotaging yourself at every point? Doubts, negative thoughts, demotivation... More likely you’ve got some old programmed messages that conflict with the new conditions you want to create.

See, shifting isn't something taught to you and it contradicts a lot with what we knew to be true, but you can teach your subconsciousness that shifting is something that you can do as easily as washing the dishes or riding a bike.

You can do this by reprogramming your subconsciousness.

4 Day Approach to Reprogram Your Subconsciousness:

Mornings:

1: Wake up, and do the exercises to relax yourself and rid yourself of negative thoughts to set the tone for the day. (Check the end of this document.)

2: As you go on throughout the day, say that everything you do is actually helping you shift. For example, you're going to brush your teeth? Think to yourself, brushing my teeth is going to bring me a step closer to shifting. You're going to be productive and study for your exams? Think to yourself, doing this is actually bringing me closer to shifting.

3: Create a google doc. In the first page, write down a list of your beliefs. In the second page, write down a list of what you don't believe in. Place shifting in your list of beliefs. Read the list of beliefs out loud. Use this technique to get rid of any limiting beliefs you have about reality shifting.

4: Since the subconscious mindset can be rewritten by repetition you should write over and over again the intention as if it was already a reality, ex. "I am capable of shifting on command", this should be done on a daily basis until repetition becomes a habit.

5: Personality creates personal reality, meaning that if we can adapt ourselves to a desired outcome before it arrives our subconscious thinks of it as something that is currently happening, making it actually happen.

Nights:

1: Meditate while affirming that you believe in shifting and that shifting is real.

2: Fall asleep while listening to hypnosis videos on reprogramming the mind. (optional)

3: Layer affirmations with theta waves. (optional)

Relaxation Technique:

1: Sit in a comfortable position where you have leg room.

2: Lift up your right leg and stretch it, holding the muscles tight. Keep it that way for about 20 seconds, then relax.

3: Do the same thing next for your right leg, then your left hand and right hand. (Basically you lift up your arm, keep your hand in a tight fist, hold it for 20 seconds then release and relax)

4: Tighten your abdominal muscles for 20 seconds, relax.

5: Tighten your chest muscles, relax.

6: Same thing, but with back and neck muscles.

7: Lastly, scrunch up your face tightly but not to the point where it hurts. Then relax.

8: Do some deep breathing for a minute or two.

9: Now, tighten all the muscles of your body, legs, hands, shoulders, face, abdomen, chest. Keep it tight for a few seconds. Then close your eyes, and relax them.

10: This is the time to let go of all the tension and pressure. All the muscles are going in a deep state of relaxation. Clear your mind of all thoughts. Let your mind be completely free in a deep calm state of relaxation.

Negative Thought Removal:

1: Identify thoughts of repetitive negative nature. Bring those thoughts back to your mind. For example: "I will not be able to shift", "I'm a horrible person", "I'm good for nothing".

2: When the thought comes, clap your hands and say: "stop". And immediately go back to the state of relaxation you were in before in the relaxation exercise.

3: You'll notice the more you repeat this exercise, let the negative thoughts in, clap and then go to a state of relaxation, the more time it takes for the negative thoughts to appear again. Soon enough they won't appear at all.

Petition to bring back the boop function next year for the ides of March where instead of a paw on the screen it’s a little knife that Caesar gets stabbed with

as a marginalized person who practices karate, please for the love of whatever god(s) you believe in, PLEASE NEVER PUT YOUR THUMB INSIDE YOUR FIST, YOU WILL BREAK YOUR THUMB/OTHER FINGERS

for lack of a good diagram, i have emojis: 🤛 👊 🤜 ✊️

if you want a little bit of extra stab with your fists, try extending your index and middle finger just a little bit, keeping the fist form, but having those two fingers being slightly more forward than the others

make sure to punch forward, as opposed to swinging your arm around your body for the momentum, it will show your inexperience and will be child's play to grab and use against you

i would agree with what op said about the cheekbone and nose for a targe, but if you want an alternative/are unable to reach your opponent's face with your strikes, consider hitting them in the throat or the diaphragm (which is the area right under your ribcage

i wouldn't recommend kicking unless you know how to do it right. this isn't karate kick, the crane kick will not work. if you can sweep their legs safely, attempt that, a person on ths ground will be unable to fight you as well from below (depending on their training) and provides you an opportunity to escape

honestly, the biggest tenant in karate is defense first. if you are safe to do so, always run away from a fight. you do not want to be in a fight for any longer than absolutely necessary

If you are a visibly disenfranchised person in America (by race, gender, sexuality, physical ability, or any other definition) and are worried about violence carried out in the name of sycophants, I would strongly recommend arming yourselves.

Brass knuckles are not illegal at the federal level, although many states have their own laws. They work in two directions: the brass rings increase the injury you do onto someone else, while the palm grip redistributes the kickback so that you're less likely to break your own fingers. Kevlar gauntlets, like the ones I wear for motorcycling, help with the latter more than the former.

Switchblades are becoming increasingly legal on the state level thanks in large part to an EMT lobby -- carrying a collapsible blade is helpful when your job involves cutting people out of their seatbelts in vehicle collisions. They come in two types: side-loading and out-the-front. OTF is triggered faster in an emergency.

In both cases, remember that most things are only illegal if you get caught. The issue comes in states where the sale of brass knuckles or switchblades are illegal, which makes them harder to acquire. If you can find a way to send a care package via a reputable courier, you should have no problem transporting across state lines. (My OTF blade came to PA nestled between a pair of sneakers.)

Handguns are easy to purchase in just about any state. Check your state laws to see whether you need a permit and/or to register your firearm to conduct a sale, but unless you're a convicted felon, the process is fairly straightforward. Always hold a handgun with both hands and practice at the range until you're confident in your aim and your stance.

Long guns are not going to be particularly useful on the street. You're unlikely to get the distance from your target to maintain your accuracy. They're more useful for standing your ground on your own property.

Bows are my favorite weapon to handle, but I would not recommend them for protection. It takes years of practice to fire them accurately, and you need space both to draw back the string to your ear and to fire at a distance. Arrows need a certain amount of momentum behind them, snap shots don't really work. Entry-level bows are cheaper than entry-level guns and that's the only edge I will give them.

General advice:

Put spikes anywhere you don't want people grabbing. Wrists and shoulders are the most obvious places. Punks don't just wear them for decoration!

Slip-resistant boots help you hold your ground in a tussle, and most come with an additional benefit like a steel toe or impact-resistant material.

When aiming with brass knuckles or bare fists, aim for the nose and the cheekbone. Both break easily and cause a shockwave of immediate pain that will make your attacker retreat.

Aim for center mass when possible with any type of puncturing weapon. It's the biggest target with the most important organs.

If you are put in a headlock, the thigh has both sensitive nerves and the femoral artery, and it's probably the most available target to you.

Strangling someone might seem like the nicer option, but it's the most dangerous for you. You need at least 10 seconds to strangle to the point of unconsciousness, during which your hands are both occupied and you can't defend yourself as well. Always go for an immediate, painful injury that will disrupt your attacker's attention.

Any protection - body armor or weaponry - is better than no protection. My motorcycle armor was designed to keep me from breaking every bone in my body in a crash, but the way it redistributes bludgeoning force also helps against baseball bats and batons.

Most people are not as prepared to receive physical violence as they are to dole it out.
