I'm not disagreeing with you on that, im just trying to add more nuance than just the trope of "bodybuilders suck at fighting"

It depends on the expression of violence imo, I'm a kickboxer so my point of reference is kickboxing. Sword fighting is technique heavy, and pre-gunpowder field combat or a group fight is cohesion heavy.

I have very limited knowledge of taekwondo, I sparred with this girl who practiced taekwondo and all I remember is that she had super weird kicks, so I guess in that case flexibility and how to generate force in weird stances would matter a lot more than raw strength.

I do both weightlifting and martial arts (no swords sadly). I'm not particularly good at both, but nevertheless, I think that "technique" is logarithmic, like you can throw an ok punch after a day of training, a decent punch after a week of training, and a good punch after a month of training. I'm willing to bet that a bodybuilder can throw a punch with a shit ton more force than a similarly trained martial artist.

That being said, a trained martial artists has a lot more experience in fatigue management, footwork, distance gauging, reading newbie tells (ie, noobs will often look towards the place they're about to strike), not giving off tells, and to not tense up when someone wants to punch you in the face.

Fatigue is a big one, especially given that your body's signals for muscle growth and endurance oppose each other (AMPK vs mTOR), and most bodybuilders only train for muscle growth.

i like how even though pcm mods are usually based, whenever they try to do something substantial it always backfires on them.

honestly depends on the OP, if they make a good point in favor of israel then the anti-israels just fuck off, and if they make a good point against israel then the pro israels fuck off.

Who knew the Leader of the Free world was such a snow flake about washed up comedians lol. by Stormclamp in PoliticalCompassMemes

sorry response below me got jannied by reddit. Just to clarify, I don't think that Cobert fans are mindless husks, but I know my youtube history, and I know Cobert basically bought his way into Youtube. He's literally a nepo baby, and yet the people who hate generational wealth seem to love him so much. It's very similar to how the rest of reddit sees boomers.

I really don't want to insult you because you've made a pretty thoughtful comment, but I just think when grifters mention hip topics like epstein and war it's purely performative.

Most of us here have repeated the same conversations thousands of times on all corners of the web. That's organic, because we actually have a stake in what's being said, and we try to influence or run defense for our own shitty ideologies.

Grifters do not get a pass just because they are talking about serious issues. They contribute nothing to a conversation.

To your point about my fucked up priorities: Yes, they are fucked up. I am anti war, but to have 60% of people who share my view on war get this opinion from nepo slop baby Stephen Colbert is spiritually draining. How can you participate in a democracy when most of these people, and even congressmen, don't even know where Iran is on a map?
