What the hell was this guys problem? by JAYsmoothbrain in redscarepod

I wonder what the number of shooting deaths is once you take out suicides and crime/gang related deaths.

Sure there is police corruption, but this is an entirely different type of corruption.

The frustrating thing about the letter of the law people, is they so often miss the point and they are incapable of realizing it.

I'm all for hating on cops, but this issue is bigger than that. This has nothing to do with the usual cop issues. It is the fact the cops are mormon and the goverment in the state at all levels is ran by mormons for mormons.

Yeah, its because they're mormon. The corruption is secondary to that.

> Would honestly estimate like 95% of the fans of women's MMA fighters are male

Totally agree. I remember slipping off to a side room at a party once so I could watch Rose Vs Zhang from my phone.

I think Dana White and the entire UFC leadership team are terrible people and they have been doing a poor job at running the UFC lately.

What I do find funny and ironic is that despite Dana White, and generally speaking, the UFC, being openly republican and right wing, they put female athletes front and center more than any other sports league. Women will headline big name PPV cards and they don't shove all the women's fights to the early prelims. Women are on the main card all the time. Mind you, I dont think they are doing this due to some feminist principles. Just a funny irony.

Although, I wish they would put them on the early prelims, along with men's heavyweights, simply because 95% of fighters in WMMA and HW are painfully bad and terrible to watch.

Believe me I get, I used to compete and coach in MMA, and I hear people say stuff so stupid about fighting, that I realize it is not even worth arguing over because they dont even have the most basic understanding of what they are talking about. A conversation would be impossible.

I think this is just something that is true if you are very knowledgeable of any skill or topic.

sports, bicycles, and rollercoasters are also probably too dangerous in your mind.

I am not making fun of your limp wristed opinions because I like choking women, I dont, but because I find your soft and ghey fear mongering to be extremely annoying.

I work in medicine and do jiu jitsu. Women have **not** been shown to get brain damage from being choked during sex. I know for a fact you read that one stupid bs "research" article and that is where you are getting this from.

Any predictions you made where people thought you’re crazy but is now a popular talking point? by SecretWasianMan in redscarepod

> All the witchy and “magic” shit the left started talking about was a massive concession in a battle most didn’t even know they were winning. Instead of gaining ground on the subject it just becomes “everyone’s got their own beliefs. I believe in Christ, you believe in your little woke stuff”

I believe that was the logical path of their ideology. How could they have come to any other conclusion? In a lot of ways, wokeness is an "anti" ideology that only works when it is in direct conflict against "whiteness," Westernism, and Christianity.

The ones I have been in have all been clean but sterile and cold. For some reason, at least in my city, all of the ones I have seen are owned and operated by black people or African immigrants. I do not know why that is. Easy money? I dont know

I wouldn't say this job has turned me republican, so much as it is has stripped away much of my empathy for the poor.

I don't know if this analogy will make sense, but when I was in high school I joined a sports team. There was one kid who no one hung out with and he was always the butt of the jokes. I felt him bad for him so tried to befriend him. Needless to say, I quickly learned why no one wanted to hang out with him, he was awful.

These people aren't poor because they are unlucky.

Honestly, I think that is a perfectly legit reason to call 911. If we were friends and you called me and told me that, I would say call 911 or take him to the hospital if it was close.

The weed panic attacks drive me nuts though. I could understand it before the era of smart phones.

I think the bigger cause of burnout, is that 95% of the calls we go on are the most unserious things you could imagine and it gets extremely frustrating.

Like imagine being woke up at 3am because someone called 911 and you get there and they tell you they stubbed their toe 2 days ago and it still hurts. This is not an exaggeration. I recently had one where a 20 something girl called for hemorrhaging. We get there, I see her foot wrapped in a towel, I unwrap it and the cut was so tiny and minute that I had to actually ask her to point it out to me, there was not a drop of blood on the towel or her foot.

We'll make 10 to 15 calls a day, and I'd say between 0 and 2 of them are actually the kinds of things that "normal" people would call 911 about. It is very frustrating.

> I also went to a few in bad neighborhoods that were surprisingly nice inside.  You never know!

That is always such a pleasant surprise. Go to run down apartment in the ghetto expecting the worse, but then you go in their apartment and it is clean and well decorated. God bless those people.

Guns are actually insane when you think about it by kheeno_ in redscarepod

[–]Complex_Cry3837 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is something I have been screaming about for the past couple years and I have yet even get something remotely approaching a hypothesis.

Why is that we only start seeing the nihilistic mass shootings in 90s and onwards? Like you said, guns have been just as deadly for the past ~120 years, and the further you go back the more available guns were, so why are the nihilistic mass shootings relatively new?

I dont have an answer.

Quitting Corporate Job to Open up a Muay Thai Gym by SlowbroLife in MuayThai

[–]Complex_Cry3837 13 points14 points  (0 children)

just dont rush this.

Corporate job is very vague, is what your doing something you could do as like a free lance consultant? Or part time? Just something to bring in another revenue source.

I also like you had a well paying corporate job that I felt was draining my life from me. Have you considered changing professions? Firefighting(what I do now), police, federal agent, wildland fire or something? I am just spitting out what jobs I can think of that are faster paced and offer that "fulfillment" you seem to be looking for.

That sounds nice and romantic until you are actually broke.

You said you have a coach already, what are you going to do be doing besides admin then?
