  • I had always assumed that Hunter-Gatherer societies were very loosely sex divided and strongly necessity based. Meaning, sure men could be the typical hunter and women the typical gatherer but if necessity dictates, any person would do any job, and, given the times, that was probably frequently.

    Furthermore they also likely didn’t have societal structures the way modern societies did, meaning people likely weren’t barred from any job or forced into any job, it was a community effort for survival, if you meet a criteria that can help, you do that.

    These are not factual statements, these are just my assumptions on how I figured they reasonably existed.


  • I’ve gone twice, the first time, it was awesome! I was with two friends, we roamed and checked out basically every street. I even got to put a lock on the lock bridge for my partner at the time. Everyone was friendly and 2 of us spoke French so that helped a ton.

    The second time I went was a few years after. The terrorist attacks had happened and the experience was not as great. The Eiffel tower is now gated and patrolled, you need had to get in lines and wait to get up close. They also had taken down the lock bridge (I was still with the same partner). It was still a good experience for sure, the vibe was different though.

    Paris at night is beautiful, though remember that it is still a city, so treat it as such.



  • It’s possible there is someone or a video who can show you though I came up with it myself in leu of spinning it so I don’t personally have any sources.

    I can give you a written explanation though!

    Step one: Hold the Pen as you normally would

    Step two: Get the rubber pen grip (or associated area, roughly 1/3 the length from the tip) onto the knuckle at your finger tip or just in front of it (towards the tip of your finger). This should have your finger in a C position which should put you pretty close to a flick position.

    Step 3: Put your thumb in front of the tip of your finger and apply counter pressure between your fingers (ready to flick)

    Step 4: Release your restrained middle finger causing your finger to flick and sending the pen up in a flipping motion.

    Notable: If the pen flys forward try adjusting how forward or backwards the pen sits on your knuckle (I.E. 1/3, 1/4 etc.). Same if the flip is too speedy or slow.

    Adjusting your wrist or moving your hand up to start with some momentum can be useful when learning.

    Consistency is hard but you’ll get the feel in time
