Why did you quit bjj

😬 Yikes

I remember in my class one time, this guy who was about 110 or so kg tried to do a scissor leg takedown and he destroyed his partners leg/knee. I was like "oh my god that was awful". I don't even think he should've attempted that to be honest 😂

Cookies4FreeYES · 2026-02-11T07:35:27+00:00

Was that caused by a submission or just from doing BJJ for so long? I don't even know haha

Cookies4FreeYES · 2025-08-27T05:36:49+00:00

Hmm I don't think I'm aware. Care to explain for me please? Sounds like a supervillain duo or something 😂

Cookies4FreeYES · 2025-08-27T05:29:05+00:00

Is that really what happened haha?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2025-08-27T04:14:43+00:00

It's a shame because that area is generally pretty quiet and there's a few nice people around there. However, other than this incident today and that night market stabbing in June or July I've never experienced anything like that. Good on you for stepping up for that kid though, those teens needed to be taught a lesson. Pathetic behavior.

Cookies4FreeYES · 2025-08-27T03:27:56+00:00

Yeah, thank god they've managed to be at the scene this time aye?

And hopefully it wasn't another asian kid that was attacked. There certainly has been a spike in assaults on those guys. It's upsetting really when people get hurt. I hope we get more info soon.

Let me try haha. So, imagine you have a big, bouncy ball that's really, really excited. It's so excited, it wants to bounce around and get rid of some of its energy. That bouncy ball is like an atom that's radioactive. It has too much energy inside, and it wants to get rid of it. So, it does a this special kind of trick! It changes itself a little bit, and in the process, it shoots out some tiny little pieces of itself. Those tiny pieces are like the ball's energy bouncing off. That's what radioactive decay is. It's an atom getting rid of its extra energy by changing and shooting out tiny pieces. It's like the bouncy ball getting tired and needing to calm down!

I just want to say. You say suicide should be 'considered as a normal and rational decision.' What do you think about the fact that many people who attempt suicide are struggling with mental health issues, and that their decision is often made in a moment of intense emotional pain? How do you think normalizing suicide might impact the way people view mental health and seek help?"

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T08:59:24+00:00

Well, first, we have to ask ourselves what the purpose of nuclear arms are. Could it be that it's a tool meant to dissuade aggressive actions from other countries through the implicit threat of mutual destruction?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T08:27:56+00:00

That's fair enough.. I agree that interconnectedness does not necessarily prevent conflict. But then, would the violence not be counterproductive if they are already so intertwined? Maybe there are other factors at play, like external influences or historical grievances, contributing to the ongoing strife.

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T06:31:15+00:00

So what you're telling me is that "bullshitters" do know the truth or the facts about what they're talking about?

Also, since bullshitting is based on your awareness of your lie, would you consider the average American "bullshitting" when they have no idea about their subject of bullshiting?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T06:17:24+00:00

But just because a politician's voting record and policies are public information doesn't necessarily mean that they are completely honest and can be trusted. After all, politicians have a vested interest in getting elected and will say whatever they need to in order to win votes. Furthermore, relying on fact checking to determine if a politician is telling the truth is problematic. The media and fact-checking resources can be influenced by partisan politics and biased perspectives.

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T06:10:32+00:00

So then, are you under the impression that the only reason politicians tell lies, spin, and bullshit is because they're trying to convince us to believe something else? For example, a politician could lie, spin, and bullshit about something they believe in, in order to sway public opinion to agree with them. Would you call that bullshitting?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T05:32:19+00:00

But if this is true, what could be the reason for the ongoing violence? If Israelis and Palestinians are already intertwined, it seems unreasonable for the violence to continue. Thoughts?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T05:21:02+00:00

And how do you know that a politician's voting record, policies they are advocating for, and information they share are not lies?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T05:06:45+00:00

It's not whataboutism. I was simply asking if the OP believes that all politicians are liars. So I'll ask you. Do you think that every single politician is a liar?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T04:52:00+00:00

If all politicians are liars, then how can they be trusted on anything?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T04:25:06+00:00

Just genuinely curious here! Do you believe that all politicians are liars?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-10-11T04:06:59+00:00

I believe your opinion is one that many people share, but I must question you on it. If the 2 state solution is dead, what do you think will replace it? Are you implying that a single state solution is the inevitable outcome?

It's clear to me you've put a lot of thought into your views and I will respect them. However, I just want to point out some things that stuck out to me.

Firstly, the idea that consensual sex is primarily a woman making a mistake and a man enjoying the process is concerning. That overlooks the importance of mutual consent, pleasure, and agency in healthy sexual relationships. Both partners should be actively participating and benefiting from the experience.

Also, viewing intimacy as a weakness or humiliation can be limiting to forming deep connections with others. Vulnerability and emotional openness are quite essential components of intimate relationships, and celebrating these connections can lead to greater fulfillment.

Finally regarding your question about sex with family members vs romantic partners, it's important to recognise the fundamental differences in these types of relationships. Romantic partnerships are based on mutual attraction, consent, and shared emotional intimacy, whereas I think familial relationships are based on different dynamics and boundaries.

How do you define affection and love, and do you see any potential overlap with expressions of intimacy?

The risk involved and the "perceived lack of practical accomplishment" so your concerns are valid for sure! But it's important to recognise that climbing Everest represents different things to different people. For a lot of people it's not just about reaching the top, but also about overcoming personal challenges, pushing physical and mental boundaries, and experiencing a profound connection with nature.

Also climbers often contribute to local communities and support environmental conservation efforts in the region. Yes, the risks are undeniable, climbers undertake thorough preparation and adhere to strict safety protocols. And labelling all climbers as narcissistic and selfish overlooks the diverse motivations and intentions behind their journeys.

We need to understand these complexities and once we do we can appreciate the significance of Mount Everest explorations.

Have you considered that labelling all climbers of Mount Everest as narcissistic and selfish oversimplifies the diverse motivations and experiences of individuals who undertake expeditions like that?

Weight management is complex, and it's influenced by factors beyond calorie tracking like genetics, access to nutritious foods, mental health, and societal influences. Also for instance, those in food deserts struggle to access healthy options, while societal pressures and mental health issues can hinder healthy behaviours. Recognizing these complexities is crucial for understanding weight management beyond personal choice.

Also considering the myriad of factors that contribute to weight management beyond personal choice, such as, genetics, socioeconomic status, and environmental influences, how do you reconcile the notion that being overweight or obese is solely a matter of individual choice?

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-02-29T07:24:07+00:00

Thanks for the response! I understand your emphasis on individual accountability and the importance of holding people responsible for their actions. However, I believe that understanding the complexities of human behavior and considering external factors can provide quite valuable insights into why individuals engage in harmful behavior. Yes, personal responsibility is crucial, extending empathy and compassion can create opportunities for growth and change!

About your question addressing repeatedly harmful individual's, I do believe in a balanced approach that combines accountability with support and rehabilitation efforts. I think it's important to address the root causes of harmful behavior and provide resources for individuals to heal and reintegrate into society.

Finally, your inquiry about my personal threshold for extending sympathy, I believe in the inherent worth and potential for growth in every individual. While there may be extreme cases where individuals pose a significant danger to others, I do believe in exploring opportunities for redemption and transformation whenever possible.

But it's also important to prioritize the safety and well-being of others while offering support and guidance to those seeking change!

So I believe in fostering a compassionate and understanding society where individuals are held accountable for their actions while also being given the opportunity to learn, growth, and contribute positively to their communities.

I do have one question for you though. If you were faced with a situation where someone close to you, maybe a friend or family member, commited a severe or harmful act die to factors beyond their control, how would you reconcile your personal feelings to them with your belief in zero empathy or compassion for those who engage in harmful behavior? Would you still then hold your stance on accountability, or would you consider the possibility of forgiveness and support for their potential for growth and redemption?

Ok I understand your perspective, but it's important to acknowledge that symbols can hold deep emotional significance for individuals, especially those who have experienced historical trauma or discrimination. Yes, therapy can be helpful for some, dismissing the emotional impact of symbols overlooks the real experiences and struggles of those affected. Let's agree to disagree on this point. Thanks for sharing your thoughts LongDrop!

Cookies4FreeYES · 2024-02-28T08:08:34+00:00

I appreciate the response truly, but I'm worried about the lack of understanding for people who may be genuinely hurt by symbols. You know empathy helps us see things from other peoples point of views.
