The myth that knights could barely move in their armor has finally been dispelled by Thrillist

@thecybersmith

NO

@kamiyu910 I think the better mobility might be because of the fact that the armor is a lot closer to the knight’s body, unlike the soldier that has it more concentrated on his back. Your thoughts?

I’ve watched this video, and a few others of the knight’s (Daniel Jaquet), and yeah, the concentration on the soldier’s back ends up making it not quite as even, since the knight has all his weight evenly distributed. 

I find it interesting they don’t show the firefighter in this one, because he was there too and beat them both out, and he had awkward weight on his back as well. It’s hard to say exactly what contributed to the times.

Here’s the full video:

I know the knight takes to heart the words of a 15th century knight who would climb walls in full armor and do all sorts of crazy things.

If you want to see his training regiment: 

Ughhh I’m gnc and I’ve previously only been with women so people just assumed that i’m a lesbian. So since I got a boyfriend recently they’ve been talking about how I’ve “turned” and when I try to explain that I’ve always been bi they just act like I’m “too proud to admit” that I’ve “never actually liked women” what the fuck and I feel really bad for embodying a lesbophobic stereotype

😬 I think you also need new friends anon, wow

You aren’t embodying any stereotype, these people just don’t want to see a real person in the loose aggregation of tropes they use to justify their societally-supported hatred. Even bi women who actually DID think they were lesbians until they realized they were bi aren’t doing any damage to anyone else by understanding themselves.

So can we like…start normalizing the idea that not everyone dates or has their first boyfriend/girlfriend in junior high or high school?

There are plenty of people who go into college with little to no dating experience. There are tons of people who go into college having not had their first kiss yet. It’s not wrong; everyone experiences things at a different pace, and that’s okay. Don’t feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with at the time just because you feel like you have to fill some sort of “quota.”
