His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Of course, you know what they say

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

And I like the sound of being stronger than a black hole fam
yeah but first, i have to read this entry on how to properly mosh first

because it totally makes sense that you have to learn to properly thrash and stomp around and run into other people

there should totally be a correct way to do that

after all, if i get punched or ran into, and i get hurt, it's totally my fault
Of course. If you can't see that surfers aren't making it to the stage, you should know that you have some weak-ass punks around you. If dumbies are twirling their arms like they sexually identify as apache helicopters, then you should know to dance elsewhere. Reading a crowd isnt hard mang, seems like basic observational skills to me. If you can't manage that, then Darwin Award yourself.
TIL being a psychic clairvoyant who is capable of looking at every single person in a large crowded room is "basic observational skills" and i should darwin award myself if i am not that thing

TIL real life is just like dark souls--everything is your fault, even if it isn't--at all
Wait, are you not an omniscient god? LOOK AT THE PLEB AND LAUGH.
TIL random shit doesn't occur in a crowd of coked up twenty year olds
Coke up is a bit off there. Baked or drunk af twenty year olds is more accurate. Also they don't do anything but lose their shoes in the crowd and do pot zombie things like trying to engage in photosynthesis in a dimly lit stage-house.
TIL it's easy to see people in a dimly-lit stage house--especially when they're crowded with hundreds of people

mosh pits are literally more peaceful and orderly than a buddhist monk temple
You're starting to get it now! Moshing is about having fun with a community, not curb-stomping the skulls of innocents. That happens afterwards.

TIL intent is the only thing that matters--if someone gets hurt, it doesn't matter--they didn't intend it, so that makes it all okay

I really don't want to look at the 5 pages of replies

Did this degrade into another argument about drugs?
No, just a few attempts to ask Nasty questions intermingled with three pages of argument over moshing. Just ask Nasty questions, I'm trying to think of more atm.

no

people are just getting defensive over their stupid habits

it's funny how no one can just admit that what they're doing is stupid--that would be fine, i wouldn't even be really arguing, but they seem to be under the impression that it's safe, and because it's "fun", that removes the danger of it

Hey Nasty, do you plan on attending any other festivals? They tend to be a bit pricey, so I always just try to go to one a year at most.

i just can't get over that

you're supposed to be able to see people in a dimly lit house full of drunk idiots

and if you get hurt, it's your fault

that's something else--i'll have to tell that to one of my professors, i think he'd get a kick out of that

I think I got it--it's just another one of those, "the cool kids do it, so I'm gonna do it too" things.

that's the only explanation

I wasn't aware that dimly lit means pitch black. Also stage lights usually help, they pretty much light up the stage and the immediate crowd (except on camera, unfortunately) Entschuldigung, won't happen again massa.

TIL you can't complain about not being able to see shit unless it's pitch black

as long as you can see extremely vague figures, it's your fault if you get hit by something--especially from behind, too

if you don't have eyes in the back of your head, "darwin award yourself"

Well, I'd love to continue entertaining my most avid internet debate colleague, but I fear that slumber calls me into its tender embrace. Too-da-loo, or however you spell that garblejunk.

if your lights go out on the way to bed, and you trip on something, it was your fault

goodnight

I totally agree that it's dangerous. Now the willingness to participate in it can be like people getting drunk. It's not the smartest decision, probably dangerous, but they are willing to try to have a degree of fun while risking their safety.

Stupid? Yep. But that's the reasoning I suppose, people want to have fun or be included in what seems to be fun.

i'd really like to go to another festival sometime soon but, like you said, they are really pricey. And considering the fact that I'm currently unemployed l won't have much extra cash to throw at festival tickets.

It's only stupid because the answer is obviously that moshing is stupid. Like, it shouldn't have to be explained.

Just because you think it makes you "cool" or whatever doesn't make it an intelligent thing to do.
Just because you think it's "fun" doesn't make it an intelligent thing to do.

If there isn't a guaranteed safe way of performing the activity, it's absolutely and unarguably stupid.
And defending it is even stupider.

And no, getting hurt in a mosh is never your fault. That was easily the dumbest thing said in this thread last night. It's only your fault in the sense that you shouldn't have entered a moshpit in the first place, but ultimately, people should just be smart enough not to slam into each other while in a crowd. The fault is on the person who hurt you. Obviously.
