Okay this is a weird one.

There is that japanese thing when person wiggles hips from side to side while putting hands up to the head and clenching palms like if those were cat ears. I'm pretty sure this odd dance had some specific name and tune assigned to it, but maybe not.
So the question is, does that thing has a colloquial name or is it just some random japanese thing I remembered out of the blue?

Should I start a thread in Other Games about the sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare?
It's currently having an open beta and it's pretty cool from what I've seen.

There's an Asian martial art that's now used (at least in the west) primarily as a form of exercise, and the one thing I remember is the motion of moving your arms slowly in a windmill fashion which was apparently originally supposed to be you throwing dirt into the other person's face.

Can anyone remember the name of this?
Tai Chi.

I've started going to the gym because fitness is good. (I actually don't mind the exercise, most people seem to hate it.) Anyways, I want to start lifting weights but really have no idea where to start, and most of my friends do not know their way around the gym. There are a lot of beginner guides it seems like, but the fitness literature is all way crazy commercialized and I don't trust any of the sites on the internet with giant greased up men trying to tell me what I'm supposed to do. So, a couple questions:

1.) Where can I find a really good guide/book/whatever for a skinny person trying to build muscle through weight lifting and has very very little familiarity with workout routines or anything? Like, I don't really know how to properly use free weights at all lack of familiarity.
2.) I know a lot of people tend to say that the selectorized lifting machines are bad, but I don't really understand why that is? They are much easier to use, and free weights are terrifying (particularly because I don't really have a buddy to spot me or anything).

I figure this thread is more suited to it:
Why is this tweet worth being banned off twitter? I don't recognise who the guy is.
I have no idea who the guy in the picture is, or why it's offensive enough to get b&.

I have to get car insurance and its likely to cost quite a bit because of where I live + how old I am.

Any basic advice I should know about?  No one I know in person has anything useful to say.

These are pretty specific things to ask advice about, and you don't give nearly enough input. It really varies drastically based on where you live, starting with country, state/region, might even go as far as particular cities, there will be substantial differences.



Now I have an issue with Undertale functioning incorrectly. Spoilered, well, because.
