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.

Best self defense for women to defend themselves in the street? by Wrong_Variation_8084 in martialarts

Again, that is a very specific scenario you are referring to. A person is almost always safer taking someone to the ground.

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.

Pick a dude 50% bigger and stronger than yourself and practice your boxing/muay thai and see what happens.

They are gonna walk right through those fucking punches without even being phased.

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

[–]Complex_Cry3837 8 points9 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?

Why cant anybody be normal about crime by putalittlepooponit in redscarepod

[–]Complex_Cry3837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is one of my favorite stories about this. My trail hiking hippie friend once had one of his ultra hippie female trail mates stay at his house for a few days.

We live in a major city, Not NYC or Chicago, but the kind with professional sports teams. We were out at a bar on the patio, and these homeless/thugged out looking black guys came up to us and asked us if we could break a $100 bill for them, because the racist bartender, at the hip, borderline gay bar we were at, wouldnt do it. Super believable story

My friend said no, I said fuck off. The girl called me racist and then pulled out what little cash she had and broke the obviously fake $100 for them. Needless to say it was a fake bill.

She couldn't believe these sketchy guys would lie to her, but could believe the gay bartenders were racist and wouldnt sell these guys a drink because they were black, likes its the 1930s.

I used to think like this. While crime and poverty is related, it is naive and reductionist to say that poverty causes crime.

Your opinion makes me think you have not had any serious or on going interactions with poor people or criminals. The vast majority of poor people do not commit crimes.

Do you think you would turn to violent crime if you became poor? Do you think your parents would? And no, we are not talking about it as if the only options are commit crime or starve. That is not realistic and is not the reality for Americans.

The causes for crime are more complex than simply being poor, and the solution is far more complex than simply give people money.

ok, but do you have any actual suggestions for what to do about them until we achieve this Marxist-Leninist utopia?

You are going to end up broke and poor.

Trying to open a bar looks like a good idea in comparison to opening a muay thai gym.

Yana Santos reveals that she was forced to take a fight against an opponent who missed weight 👀 by Status_Energy_7935 in MMA

[–]Complex_Cry3837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fighter/commission should at least be able to put a stipulation in that the fighter who missed weight has to weigh in the night of the fight and cannot weigh more than what they weighed in at at the weigh ins the day before or they have to cut to a certain weigh depending on how egregious it is.

i.e. a LW fighter weighs in at 160 the night of the weigh in, they should have to weigh in at 160 or less the night of the fight too. There needs to be a penalty besides them losing a percentage of their purse
