No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

Here it is! The November bloomer mega! Once again for if people want to share the good things happening in their lives! It can be something big like international news that brightened your day, or something small like a cool bug you found.

Either way, if you need a place to escape the noise and boost your morale for a second, this is it!

The only rule is to keep the vibes chill!

SOOOOOOO I hear Lula won in Brazil, and that the French did some pretty fire protests (Get it? Because they set some things on fire but also I mean fire as in peak, cool, whatever the hip kids say. I am very funny.) Anyway, it's good. People are doing things. Things have been happening. Will these things amount to anything? Who knows, but at least people are getting pissed off enough to break the civility brainworms.

Anyway, relax and don't eat all my doribos or I'll kick you out. OK you can have some but don't do that thing where you lick them all so no one else can have them.

It sounds like you have a bit of wrestling influence in there which is cool. What I think you're describing is a hammer lock, which people usually associate with bouncers and police officers pre-cuffing.

I'm actually partial to tummy down progressions because I spent a little bit of time training with an MMA team. It makes my grappling unique compared to my peers. People will get lazy trying to escape from me and wind up in what is arguably the worst possible position to be in.

Hexbear is so funny because even the person I've been involved with told me that I'm "bad with gender". Told them that's why I need trans liberation so I don't need to worry about it at all. Grappling is a system of increasing control over someone. Correct genitals optional. If you're having fun and can be matched against an interesting opponent the rest can get fucked.
