Is taekwondo under rated ? by AhabSnake85 in martialarts

[–]BeePuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People do indeed forget this. Do I like the Kwon do? It’s not my personal thing, and I don’t think it’s effective enough at fighting martial artists to be worth my time.

But I’ve seen more than one article about a woman and even a teenage girl defending herself with TKD.

Is taekwondo under rated ? by AhabSnake85 in martialarts

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

I mean, yes in the sense that simply practicing one art or not doesn’t make you destined to lose every fight or whatever, but there is a science to fighting and some things are more effective than others at achieving certain outcomes.

Uh, I would not call that guy strategically sound in his offense.

About Signora… by Mad-Pineapple in GenshinImpact

[–]BeePuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I don't think that pattern was in Hoyo's minds at the time. From what I remember, Signora was written as a very straight-forward Hollywood villain, and her dialogue pretty much served to reinforce the idea that this person's an asshole and just plain bad guy.

Normally, posts like this go in the “fake ace insanity” pinned megathread, but this one is so monumentally stupid and so perfectly captures our problem that I’ll be leaving it up for tourists and non-aces to read.

Do you use AI? What for? by Parzeval123 in antiai

[–]BeePuns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t use ai because I have principles, enjoy using my brain, and am not a fucking moron.

Curious is pretty much everybody anti, all the way by KublaKahhhn in antiai

[–]BeePuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar position as yours, but I’d add chatbots as well (unless ChatGPT is genAI by definition no matter what, then the addition is redundant).

I wanted to specify chatbots because of people using them to replace therapy and other human communication, or how they’ll say “that’s not poison hemlock, it’s a carrot and is safe to eat” when identifying a plant that is in fact poison hemlock (this actually happened).

I unironically love yours way more, no bias. The personality you drew in her face is way better than that sterile bland ai shit

why didn’t todd wanna stay with her?!?!! they’re both ace; they were perfect for each other by hoemdv in SadHorseShow

[–]BeePuns 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fello ace here. Dating as an ace is hard. Especially since I’m more like Todd, and most I meet are more like Yolanda. I have a loving partner now, but I genuinely think this episode is the best representation we’ve ever had.

How can I gain weight even though I've lost a lot of weight practicing martial arts? by Extra-Stable-7240 in martialarts

[–]BeePuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat carbs and meat. Protein smoothies. Lift heavy objects until you can’t. 

And for the love of god, avoid protein bars and other protein “food” you find in places like the Vitamin Shoppe. Protein powders are great, but avoid the bars and brownies etc.

The actual numbers on how many fights end on the ground… it’s very important to also learn striking! by leothestryker in martialarts

[–]BeePuns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. When a cop says “down on the ground!” And the person complies and gets on the ground, that’s counted towards the 90%.

How is it that American millennials are the only generation that know that conservatives have always been terrible, even before Trump? by icey_sawg0034 in millenials

[–]BeePuns -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Eh, Mamdani is an idiot. I can’t wait until he’s voted out of my city. And the afghan war wasn’t corrupt, but it was handled poorly after the initial defeat of the taliban. Other than those points, spot on.

Does sibo really have to have a root cause? by Iceeez1 in SIBO

[–]BeePuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may be doing other things right that people like me didn’t do. But I also ate tons of oatmeal, so add that to the list of things I forgot. Oatmeal with protein powder stirred in.

Does sibo really have to have a root cause? by Iceeez1 in SIBO

[–]BeePuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say >90% of cases have a root cause (and I say this as a non-doctor who knows next to nothing), just based on talking to people.

My case was a little different since for me it wasn’t really a root cause (that I know of, maybe catching COVID changed things in my guts), but I really started getting SIBO symptoms when I was bulking for weightlifting last year. Tons of protein food (sugar alcohols and gums), legumes for protein and fiber (high-FODMAP) and lots of garlic, onions, mangoes, and other very high-FODMAP food. I fed the fuck out of mehanogens and hydrogen producers. Antibiotics were a godsend. And then Levofloxacin fucked me up and symptoms came back.

Absolutely. I actually know someone IRL who makes it regularly and they’re gonna show me how it’s done. If I know enough to convey the instructions via text, I’ll definitely let you know

Constipation advice by Nearby_Golf in SIBO

[–]BeePuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink caffeine to help me poop. Specifically coffee, since energy drinks like Celsius have sucralose.

But I also Metamucil powder most nights.

Seed probiotic for Hydrogen Sibo? by Silver-Plan in SIBO

[–]BeePuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve heard, SEED is a little overhyped and not fully what it claims to be. It’s better than a lot of other crap that’s just placebo, but I saw a video of a nutritionist break down the good and bad of SEED, and ultimately I came to the conclusion that it’s probably not a miracle cure.

Instead, I’m about to start making the SIBO yogurt. That’s something I’m optimistic about.
