YOUR MISSION:

the next time you enjoy a meal in your home, eat it viscerally and animalistically. this need not obligate eating it "viciously" or "violently", though the interpretation is left up to the agent.

if it's a sandwich, let it fall apart. if it's not a finger food, make it one. rip it apart. food sustains us. the matter you ingest becomes you, the process need not be beautiful. embrace this extant part of the universe into yourself in the way that feels most natural to you. approach the meal like you've never seen what humans eat and you werent instructed on what to do with it.

this action is worth 10 points.

What Happens at a Sportsbook When a Tennis Player Retires

What Happens at a Sportsbook When a Tennis Player Retires

Tennis is an unpredictable sport. That’s why it is an exciting and frustrating sport to wager on. For this tutorial, we will find out what happens at a sportsbook when a tennis player retires from a match. When people hear the term retire, they think of a player ending one’s career, as Roger Federer did recently. However, retiring can also mean quitting a match due to fatigue or injury. On the…

Not to get lost in the narratives and such, but I think it's a wild thing to take a young player with fire in his belly who will be the first to admit that he was never even the best player in his junior teams made it to the NHL it's because he clawed his way thru via any means necessary, and to tell him, I want you to look at this example of all things beautiful about hockey, and do everything exactly as he does it.

And how all of that, instead of breeding resentment can turn into devotion. I'm thinking of faith and how Bergy will be the first to talk about all the ways in which Marchy made his game better, of two people who pushed and balanced and completed each other, who worked so well because they were so different in so many ways, two people who would suck at being each other. And what happens when, you say now you take over. Now you lead, on your own.

And I guess I'm also thinking of that 22 year old with a chip on his shoulder who was told: you will never be the best player on ice as long as he is on the ice, so I want you to be second best.

Chief: Need I remind you, Miss Sandiego, what happens when you interfere with our operations?

Carmen: Uh. The operation succeeds?

I just had this idea of a batfam × motorsport au, i mean just imagine: Bruce Wayne is a bored millionaire with lots of money and nothing to do, so he sees Formula 1 as a chance for a big investment. he buys his own team, Wayne's Racing. at the beginning no one had faith that it would work (after all, this is not the first time that a millionaire has bought a team in motorsport and thinks it will be a success ((I'm looking at you Lawrence Stroll))) and of course it didn't work. So Bruce starts investing a LOT in this, Wayne Companies manufactures its own parts, he looks for the best engineers and system analysts in the world to work for him, and of course like any millionaire he puts his children on his team (I'll get to this about nepotism and such later, focus on the team) 2025 is when there is a change in the tide of formula 1, the regulations will change and that is great because now the teams are closer to each other Mercedes is no longer the same and is starting to show signs of weakness, Red Bull it's also not the same since Horner was arrested (bc that's something should actually happen) and Adrian Newey left the team. So now comes the chance for a new team to win. At the beginning all eyes were on Ferrari (as always) Aston Martin which has progressed a lot since the last few years and Mclaren, but then suddenly Wayne's Racing starts winning a lot of races. As the championship comes to an end, Lewis Hamilton wins his eighth title, but Wayne's Racing wins the constructors' championship, leaving everyone shocked. This new team that came out of nowhere only needed one year to become champion and now everyone is extremely curious to see what comes next

Well, other day I will talk about Bruce's kids bc Jason is definitely a motogp rider and there's a lot of drama bc he left Wayne's Racing for Al Ghul Team. and Tim oh he's not a racing drive, he never really liked racing but he likes the technical parts, the engineering, the strategies, so he became a sports journalist and lived his whole life in this environment full of racers. And there's also other characters that I've thought like kon, bart, wally, roy, kori etc

INTERVIEWER: How do you feel personally? JW: I feel fine, I slept very well, a bit like boys dormitory at school.

btw you cannot watch marco's contract extension interview from last year and convince me any of this was "mutually agreed" that man wanted to retire at this club he was proud to be a mentor for younger players at this club he always wanted to stay and try and build something with this club i cannot believe they'd betray him like that?

now that i finished the game its starting to sink in that, outside of dlc, this is probably the last time we will reasonably see this era/incarnation of link and zelda :')

Yeah, I actually spoke with my sister about this last night! She just finished the game and was going on about a third game with them (not including aoc) and I was like :/ “let’s not”

While I LOVE this era. I adore all the characters, the little snippets of details we get through npc dialogue, the map, and essentially everything else…. I’m ready to let this Zelda and Link go. Beyond another Hyrule Warriors game, I do hope that this is it.

Tears of the Kingdom gave us everything we needed. It gave Zelda and Link everything they were deprived of in Breath of the Wild.

Zelda never had a supportive father figure and someone willing to aid her own research and problems. Rauru listened, guided her to Mineru, and was more than happy to support her through all her choices. Zelda never had a teacher, someone to help her understand her powers. Sonia not only provided another motherly figure (because I’ll never ignore Urbosa’s role in Zelda’s life), but she taught Zelda and helped her understand her powers even if she still couldn’t fully control them.

Link was, beyond the partial aid of the old man and limited companions, alone. He went through this perilous journey by himself and finding his memories of a life he could not remember. And in ToTK, Link is hardly alone in those battles. He’s constantly aided by the sages and he can keep their spirits with him throughout his entire journey. He has his memories, he’s fighting to get Zelda back and bring her home.

Zelda and Link have been through a lot. Too much. To have another tragedy forced upon them… I’m okay not having another game with them. Narratively, their stories are perfectly wrapped up. All the tiny loose ends are perfect to expand upon in future games, it allows the developers a chance to create a new Zelda world with new mechanics and plot points.

And let’s all be honest here, they can’t make another came without telling us point blank that zelink is canon LOL. (They can but y’all know what I mean)

This Zelda and Link have fought their good fight. I think it’s time for a new era.

In the days before multi-million dollar contracts, retired ballplayers had to fend for themselves. Here, Grover Cleveland Alexander, former star pitcher with the Phillies and a Baseball Hall of Famer since 1938, performs at Hubert's Flea Circus on West 42nd St. in Times Square, January 19, 1939. I'm not sure exactly how he's "performing."

Tbh as a cane user it’s a little funny to me that Harry gets shot in the leg (and potentially the shoulder) and then has to just. Continue w his Jamrock shuffle. Sounds like a wheelchair situation to me, but damn, nobody had even a spare cane for the guy? Crutches, perhaps? Couldn’t even like go out and get a particularly large stick? He reopens his wound just by taking a nap and having a nightmare, and then if u try and let him catch his breath you’ll just trigger the idle animation where Cuno makes Harry give him a piggy back ride 😩 and then you can’t even do drugs about it or Jean will bully you. How about I shoot YOU in the shoulder and the thigh and see how well YOU do even trying to MOVE without fourteen different substances in you, hm?? Anyway I think there should be a cane in the game with +2 Pain Threshold (pain management) +1 Volition (soldiering on) -2 Hand/Eye Coordination (hands full) and +1 Half Light (improvised weapon)
