Oi rapaziada, sei que isso pode parecer pura mendigagem mas estou começando um canal de audiobooks como um exercício pra aprender a editar, melhorar a minha dicção e oratória e ao mesmo tempo retomar o meu hábito de leitura, sei que audiobooks são um conforto pra muita gente, algo bem nichado e que eu ainda estou longe de ser bom mas tenho curtido bastante o processo, acabei de terminar O Príncipe, de Maquiavel na tradução do Ciro Mioranza, ainda tenho muito a melhorar mas no meio de tantos audiobooks narrados com uma voz de IA genérica vocês podem dar uma chance pra quem está tentando mesmo que seja amador?, se alguém tiver sugestões de livros, críticas ou dicas estou aberto.

Hey fellas, Someone here might have seen my first post asking for tips; I’m a beginner with cerebral palsy training archery at a Paralympic center. I’m currently shooting at a distance of 12 meters, and after hitting the bullseye for the first time, my instructor said we’d start testing out a compound bow. Man, that thing is heavy, holding it correctly and drawing it back has been a challenge, but it’s actually motivated me to workout at the gym to strengthen my arms, torso and back and practice even harder. My real question, though, is the one in the title: how’s my form? The first photo is from about 20 days ago (from 9/10), taken during my first test run with the compound. My arrow grouping isn't the best yet, but just hitting the bullseye a few times feels amazing. Am I making real progress or just kidding myself?, be honest please.

Hi folks, new guy here,I don't have many people to share the various things I have to say here with, so it will be here. I'm new to the sport, I have a lot to talk about and some frustrations, so let's go: I'm a 22-year-old Brazilian, I started practicing archery a little over two months ago, and my god, I love this sport, and I feel like I want to invest in it, like, really lock in. I'm a person with a disability ( cerebral palsy and some coordination problems that i learned how to mitigate the best I could) and I'm currently training at a Paralympic center that I've been trying to get into for over seven years, and man, it's really frustrating. Thinking that I could have started something like that even before COVID makes me angry. I hate feeling so impotent , but that's life, I guess.

For obvious reasons I needed some stuff, my instructor was kind enough to make adaptations for me, providing me with a trigger and an appropriate bow (I'm left-handed), and although my arrow grouping is poor, I feel that my execution of the movement is getting better. Here are some photos from the end of July and beginning of August. For someone who couldn't even hit the target, I consider this an improvement, In my recent sessions, my grouping and aim have also improved slightly, but unfortunately, I haven't had time to take any recent photos, my senior took them all off the target before I could record it.

So, let's get to the actual questions: I currently train at this center twice a week, but I'm too subject, for my liking to the institution's own scheduling issues and the instructor's availability; we practice in an area provided by the local fire department. If there are any Brazilians or South Americans here, what would you suggest I do to practice more frequently, even if just for one extra day?
I live in a small town. Also, I'm looking into buying my own gear, but ambidextrous or left-handed bows are hard to find and expensive. The best model I've found so far is this one, but I haven't received any feedback on whether it's too difficult or good for beginners, do you guys happen to know? or at least be a little more specific?, It's a wooden one, with a draw weight of about 25 lbs and a length of 120 centimeters.

Aside from that, I feel like I started the sport quite late, and maybe I'm not doing it with the right consistency, so does anyone have any tips for real improvement beyond just trying to practice more? I might post my progress here; I’m going back to class tomorrow, so maybe my instructor will finally get back to me. See you next time, and thanks!.

This might be an old discussion, but I want to know if anyone agrees with me, I'm reading this chapter for the first time (finally found somewhat decent website to read this thing in the right order and in my language)
. I'm already familiar with the theories that say Sae is like Itachi and is just fueling Rin's anger so that he surpasses him, so that he can fulfill the dream that sae himself no longer believes he is capable of achieving;
but I see too few people talking about a simpler interpretation, which is the impression I got by reading it: Sae is simply incredibly stressed because of years of dashed expectations + a long and unpleasant trip back home and reacting to what Rin said with twice the venom. From his expression when Rin said that "he's no longer the brother with whom he shared the dream," he seemed genuinely hurt, and he certainly wasn't having a good day and had a lot bottled up inside. In the end, they are two overly proud guys who failed to communicate.

Jogando em unova pela primeira vez em anos (da última vez eu era um moleque de 8 anos burro e perdi meu console) , esses são os três que estão vingando no meu time até agora, também tenho alguns bichos interessantes no pc mas estou na dúvida de pra onde levar esse time agora, alguém tem sugestões?, quais seriam bons Pokémon pra compensar o fato de ter dois lutadores e aonde eu posso achá-los?, estou jogando white 1 e no momento saindo de Nimbasa.

Imagem de 2022, em plena pandemia jogando legends arceus e trombo com esse Luxio Shiny e alpha ainda, talvez minha maior sorte num jogo , tenho ele até hoje.

Quick post, just a rant to express an opinion, and echoing another post that I saw recently. I know this will be unpopular and poorly received—it’s Reddit after all.

This will be more about a specific part of her fanbase than her fanbase as a whole; but there you go:

Call me insensitive, but I really don’t understand all this fuss about Azula’s “sad past” and her “redemption”and more specifically the proportion it has reached among some fans of this cartoon.

Like, from a young age she was okay with all the bad things happening around her as long as it benefited her. I know she is a teenager and all, but come on.

The comics show her repeatedly throwing away chances to start over, even after her life was spared and attempts were made to rehabilitate her more than once, despite her actions in Ba Sing Se and her suggestion of what would essentially be a second genocide, this time against earthbenders (and several civilians and Fire Nation colonists as collateral damage) to “break the spirits” of the rebels.

A somewhat recent comic even shows her saying that redemption is “for the weak,” and that her deepest desire is for approval, compliments, recognition, and even adoration; she wants to be seen and remembered as a conqueror, as exceptional, as the heiress to fire lord ozai.

Yes, that's a deep psychological layer, I’m not saying she isn’t complex or interesting; in fact, quite the opposite. She was the best antagonist in TLAB, for me, she has everything: A cool design, she's skillful, has cool bending techniques, is clever, ruthless, and never leaves a loose end a truly charismatic menace. But honestly, everything has its limits, and I think this “redemption” of her was the purest example of The writers and Avatar Studios as a whole simply giving in to the pressure of a noisy minority in the fandom (of which the only “confirmation” we have is a damn cookbook).

Let’s be honest: real-life officers and leaders have received the death penalty or life sentences for less. Many generals and kamikaze pilots of Imperial Japan were brainwashed from a young age and lived in a harsh authoritarian environment; no one suggested rehabilitating or redeeming them, most of them were simply executed or at the very least stripped of their ranks and powers (in the case of the emperor).

Yes, she is a teenager, yes, she was groomed for this by Ozai, yes she is a fictional character, no, that’s no excuse when comparing her with others, not even Zuko in his worst mental state was so cold blooded I repeat: she planned and endorsed a genocide, and took pleasure in exploitation and hurting others.

Her mental breakdown and imprisonment at the end of the original series were a fitting end for her, in my opinion, and I simply don’t buy it or understand (honestly think whatever you want about it) why so many people treat this redemption as a certainty and as the pinnacle of fiction, writing and character development.

I really don’t think she needs that or deserves that.

Acabei de Zerar fire red pela primeira aos 22 anos, tinha me imposto as condições de manter o level cap a um nível minimamente desafiador, pra falar a verdade fiquei underlevel até a victory road, e de não usar itens em batalha, sei lá talvez eu esteja meio velho pra isso , talvez o time não seja dos mais inspirados (talvez alguém que tenha visto outro post meu pedindo sugestões reconheça) , mas tá ai, Pokémon continua sendo minha franquia de jogos favorita, foi legal pra passar o tempo e realmente me ajudou a me concentrar.

Time: Gamabunta (Venosaur Lv.66), Tazz (Raichu Lv.64), Widow (Scyther Lv.61), Flambe (Flareon Lv.62), Harkonnen (Snorlax Lv.62) Kidora (Nidoking Lv.62)

Apesar de todos os defeitos de Pokémon Sword and Shield, como o fato de não ter a National Dex, de ter tido um downgrade gráfico (se é que isso era possível) e de todos os problemas que a 8ª geração enfrentou no lançamento devido a um trabalho ruim da gamefreak sobre o qual não vale me extender aqui, eu realmente gostei do fato da Liga dessa região ser um torneio regularizado, onde precisamos ser recomendados, nos inscrevemos e enfrentamos os nossos rivais e os Gym Leaders; me lembrou algumas das coisas que eu mais gostava no desenho e, sinceramente, eu acho que isso consegue ser mais interessante e até um pouco mais “realista” por assim dizer do que simplesmente entrar num lugar de difícil acesso e enfrentar a Elite 4, um atrás do outro. É um grande evento esportivo, em que cada um pode mostrar o quanto cresceu ao longo da jornada, e, no final, temos uma última batalha, transmitida pra toda Galar, em um estádio lotado, onde também descobrimos que o Leon; que é pra todos os efeitos uma lenda imbatível feita para representar os fãs mais antigos e estava nos observando desde o início, simplesmente pegou o inicial que sobrou e estava treinando ele esse tempo todo. É uma progressão bem empolgante, quando você para pra pensar, e eu acho realmente decepcionante pensar que a 8ª geração ficou mais lembrada pelos problemas e que isso provavelmente não vai voltar a ser usado… eu sou o único que pensa assim?

Run de fire red simplismente buscando uma aventura que eu consiga curtir e experienciar um pouco de tudo, mas acho que o time que eu pretendo levar pra liga ficou meio básico, o que acham?, alguma sugestão?
(Sim eu dou nome para os Pokémon)
