I want to stop people describing a yo-yo as being good because it is “smooth”. It is meaningless and is also old-fashioned since every yo-yo is smooth these days.
Describing a yo-yo as smooth is like saying that a drink is wet. Other than it is a liquid; this tells me nothing. If you were an alien that never drank any liquid in your life; you might describe a drink as “wet”. Similarly, if you have no experience with more than one yo-yo; you might believe that smooth was an important property that only your one yo-yo had. After buying many yo-yos you would realize all yo-yos are smooth and therefore, stop using the term to describe a yo-yo.
Pictures don’t do it justice, it was such a nice thing to come home to today. I also like that this Noctu is from the 2012ish era when they were 55mm diameter. I feel like Batman when I throw it
you misunderstand me. im well aware of what your intentions are. im saying myob. its odd that you care how ppl describe yoyos, doubly so when they aren’t talking to you in the first place

Man, the Noctu was a piece of really painful art. Playing with it felt like throwing a ninja star attached to a string, cool to watch, but painful on the return because of the edges that would bite my hand on a hard throw. Especially when I’d hit a snag trying to feed it too much string and pay the price by it slicing through the air like a pendulum blade wanting to turn me into Edgar Allan Poe’s next protagonist.
Oh, I see your hill now! Pulling everything so deep into relativism, that nothing means anything anymore. Like saying “cup” so many times, that it loses any meaning. If evrything is nothing, then you also never have to defend anything. A kind of mental minimalism. I see.
If you treat “nothing” as an entity, sure.
But nothing is also no thing, in the sense that it has never been observed in reality. There is no nothing, just like there is no infinity.
So yes, a good place to die.
