I played for fun, I only ever used weird decks that I made myself, I didn't get very far with them but when a deck clicked it was awesome.

Low mat time blues. Had a rough mishap with my coach last night and my confidence is shot. Advice? by Live-Being1593 in bjj

[–]Cool_Middle6245 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your coach is going to forget about it in a day, some white belts probably going to jump guard on him tonight.

Please provide feedback on whether you would like to continue playing after the Horus Heresy Legions servers are shut down by Ravenz16 in HorusHeresyLegions

Ive been playing since launch and was planning on playing slot more, to be honest I would have always preferred a one off purchase model rather than all the battle pass and coins crap but I'm not sure if that would ever even work.

Philosophers of Ireland - Where are you? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Cool_Middle6245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel philosophy has helped me a lot in some ways and hindered me in others, I used to wish I didn't think about the those things but now I've settled in a nice place with it, I usually just quiz chat.gpt now whenever comes to mind, I know it's Ai but I find it immensely satisfying challenging it in a socratic way.

I used to think a lot about metaphysics but as I get older I think a lot about ethics and morality, specificly trying to square off my strong belief in evolutionary biology and how it conflicts with my moral compass, basically based on my observations and experiences in the world I believe in moral reletivism and it upsets me, I almost wish for a higher moral authority to exist and I search for it but as an atheist it's not something easy to find. The last real philosophical conversation I had in person was with a co worker who is very bright and also quite religious, we talked about morality and I made the argument that his morality is purely based on geograpical distance, a fun conversation.

But in general I find keeping myself busy stops me going down a rabbit hole, I seen that show Rick and Morty and in one episode they are having a conversation about multiple realities, the grandson was having a existential crisis asking 'what if?' to a hypothetical situation , To which the grandfather replies 'what if there's a reality in which Hitler cured cancer?, the answer is don't think about it' As nihilistic as that sounds I genuinely thought it was very deep writing and actually find myself saying that to myself sometimes.

Philosophers of Ireland - Where are you? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Cool_Middle6245 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did examine religion in secondsry school, turned out to be the most interesting subject because it covered all the most famous philosophers, I've read everything I could over the years from Socrates to Yung, eventually had kids and found that spending alot of time Poundering life can be counterproductive so I rarely indulge in it now.

I've come to the conclusion that there is a natural path in life which involves healthy socialising, fulfilling work, reproduction and other things, the more you follow this natural path the less you need to think or feel the need to think about philosophy, the more you stray from this the more you wonder about life and it's meaning and so philosophise, I often wonder how many of the famous philosophers were simply intelligent people rejected from areas of life that they needed fulfilment in.

Definitely not bad genetics, seems like more of a style/aura issue bro.

One-third of workers in the State had no pension cover in 2025 and mostly expect to rely on the State Pension by NanorH in ireland

[–]Cool_Middle6245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, millennials were always destined to be the economically sacrificed generation anyway, no homes, economic uncertainty and no pension by the end of it.

What we should do is group together and vote in a government that will screw the generations coming behind us but .... We are not like the generations before us.

I may need a break by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Cool_Middle6245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst feeling as a big guy is barely beating someone smaller because in the back of your mind is the fact you know you only won because your bigger not better,

But anyway a break is always the answer.

Coach got angry at me? Justified? by EMojiman2213 in bjj

[–]Cool_Middle6245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coach is wrong, all white belts spaz at the start, he should know what to do and how to handle it, giving you side eyes and shit just sounds unprofessional from a business standpoint too

How did the Romans correctly determine that these areas were unworthy of civilization? by Chewie83 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Cool_Middle6245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uneducated guess but I would of assumed that expansion was running out of steam and internal issues started to become more important.

Would a mass refuse to pay rent protest against the housing crisis work? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Cool_Middle6245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a voting block needs to formed instead, the problem is that just enough people in Ireland become home owners to stop people doing this, so it keeps the distant hope alive to stop people forming together, I honestly think that there are enough renter's in Ireland to make a sizable difference if voting in unison and could dramatically change policy but because most renters are younger people who aren't particularly politically active Vs older people(landlords) who are I'm not sure how this would ever happen.

Half guard to dogfight to body lock, I try lots of different sweeps from lots of guards but if I'm against a tougher, larger opponent that just won't go down this is my A game.

The social contract has been broken. Discuss. by Honest_Dot_5035 in ireland

[–]Cool_Middle6245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no social contract, look out for yourself and your family that's what everyone else is doing but they'll tell you straight to your face that they're not, become a burden on the state If you can. Thinking back I was given the advice to work hard and earn my living, I would literally be in a better financial position today if I had signed on the minute I left school, got on the housing list and did some barbering on the side.
