My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.

And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the Iliad"

#explanation: this references the scene where Hektor the prince of troy goes to his wife after a battle and leans in to kiss his son #(who is still a baby and being held in andromache's arms) #but his son cringes away in fear of his father's battle helmet #it's a gut wrenching scene about how war dehumanizes you and separates you from the people you love #this interpretation implies that being a gamer is analogous

Why not HER muscly forearms

Does she mean nothing to you people

true love is what you felt for that album you played for one month straight

Put which album in the tags

incredibly fucked up you can put off things for “tomorrow” and then. and then tomorrow comes

i’d better be seeing cousin oskaar on my dash this morning

do everything my goddamn self around here

This is so cute I love it when athletes pretend to be equally matched to a little kid

Background: this is stage fighting! No one was seriously hurt. The girls name is Hakura, a child wrestler who is now retired.

I really Appreciate the knee drop. Because it looks like he’s about to snap this girls spine but instead he stomps his foot to make a loud sound and then drops her gently on his knee. She’s fine and it’s a classic move for stage fighting. This is so well choreographed too I love it.

Then the hair grab as well. Again, it’s a simple staging technique. I learned this in high school theater, myself. It’s a gentle grab that the kiddo is leading as to not cause pain. I love it

I really appreciate how, because she's so young and he has to be careful not to hurt her, you can see it's fake. Usually the wrestlers put a lot of work into making it look as real as possible (often at great risk to their own health and safety, which obviously you can't do with a kid), but the mismatch here gives just enough space to see how it's done. It's like watching a young-but-decent magician and being able to follow the moves; you can see the performance, which you don't usually get to see in wrestling.

Detail that I think is worth talking about: this match has been used to justify death threats to Kenny Omega that continue to this day.

Wrestling fandom has an especially nasty minority of masculinity-worshiping assholes who balk at...well, a lot of things about Kenny. One of those things is that Kenny has a lot of respect for Japanese women in the industry, with badass butch goofball Ryo Mizunami being his biggest influence. The other is his interest in the artistic possibilities of wrestling, trying to expand what wrestling can be. Both of those things are on display here.

Omega himself has never expressed anything but pride in it.

americans on that aldi post its not about aldi we know you have aldi its about the decades old family feud between aldi nord and aldi süd. like literally two brothers who split the company over the sale of cigarettes in the 60s.

what does any of that mean (genuine but mostly horrified)

the german supermarket ALDI (which is short for Albrecht Diskont/discount) is a family company which the two sons of the founder inherited in 1945. In 1961 the albrecht brothers had a disagreement about whether or not ALDI should sell cigarettes so they split the company into two: aldi süd (south) and aldi nord (north), one brother took over the southern branches and the other the north branches. People in germany can get very defensive over their version of aldi and insist that their aldi is better. When they expanded internationally aldi süd got the uk and the us and I think australia, but aldi nord owns trader joes.
