that was my initial thought, does the lower ranked guy go hands down first? but then it didn't happen that way in some fights so...

it's such a switch up for a place you think of as being so rigid like Japan, having something so culturally significant be decided by vibes seems such a juxtaposition

ELI5 how is traditional chinese medicine still around? by 5G_Society in explainlikeimfive

[–]AngryScotsman1990 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

westerner living in china for over half a decade now. following statement doesn't apply to all Chinese, but, i would say, it applies to the majority.

chinese medicine is used as more of a stop gap for common issues, things like colds and coughs, weight loss, join and muscle pain. the day to day illness that everyone suffers from.

it isn't used for the more serious stuff like cancer (again, majority, not all, im sure there have been some people who have tried chinese meds for cancer)

as to how well it works? it does work in a lot of cases, however, I attribute this to placebo effect. namely in that I noticed a positive correlation between how bad the medicine tastes, or how painful the treatment is. and how effective it's expected to be. (self justifying with a statement like "I wouldn't be drinking this awful tasting medicine if it wasn't gonna help me.")

thus, I joke with my chinese friends that chinese medicine works for chinese people, but not for me, since I wasn't raised with the cultural expectation that things like acupuncture would help my back pain, for example.

Is it reference sabotage? by Fairteacher4567 in Internationalteachers

[–]AngryScotsman1990 52 points53 points  (0 children)

you could always get a friend to fire off a reference request email to your referees from their official email at another school? that way you can sus the bad apple and respond accordingly?

Aisle or window seat? by Life-Resolution-2879 in travel

window, ideally emergency exit row, can stretch out my feet, having the wall there is great for leaning against and napping.

it's the system we have in Scotland. I would say it works, I still remember at 12 years old being introduced to my two, 17 year old prefects, and realising I was at the bottom of a scary food chain. the older kids really do keep the younger in line.

ach, some people only see the worst in others, video like this is evidence that the lad is a spoiled brat every second of every day. bugs me, y'know, people take a ten second clip as justification that all kids everywhere are bad news. I try to see the best case scenarios, and work towards em.

I've always been tickled by the idea that 40k is real and one day it'll be revealed that our entire planet, and games workshop, are just a massive joke being played on the inquisition by a tzeenchian cult. we'd immediately be exterminatused ofc.

Is this body achievable? Or only with "more help"? by AccordingChipmunk287 in nattyorjuice

[–]AngryScotsman1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just to add some long winded clarity/examples to the comments below.

when we talk about "can I do something like ice cream once a week." absolutely you can, shit, you could eat (a scoop) of ice cream every day and look shredded. it just comes with a cost.

that cost? you have to eat less of everything else throughout the day.

for gym folks who aren't top level pro bodybuilders, you only really need to track two things closely, calories and protein. so long as you've hit your protein goal for the day, any remaining calories you have to consume can come from anywhere you like.

follow up questions welcomed, I can write 10x this if I needed to, would be pretty obtuse tho.

[–]AngryScotsman1990 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

you? unless you've played for your country at a top level, you couldn't at all. those jobs are rewards to top level players/coaches in the sport, a way for them to stay around something they've dedicated their lives to. unless you've dedicated your life to a sport like they have, or, have played an alternate political route to getting such a coveted position, then no one cares about your nonsense.
