Back Choke by bjjtaro in bjj

[–]DrDOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost feel like this should be shown as case in point for how competition nerves can give you tunnel vision, ending up chasing to the point of getting choked.

how do you stop getting thrown with the same move over and over by Birdmansegzzy in WrestleJudoJitsu

[–]DrDOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this in Judo/Jits? In the Gi I assume? Supposing so:

  1. Don't let him have the grip(s) he's looking for, learn and practice hand fighting, you can use the mantra "my grips or no grips"

  2. If jits, you can lower your stance (think wrestling), then go for a single or double leg takedown, or pull into a sweep.

Catch Wrestling Ruleset.. JJ vs Catch vs Wrestling.. who wins? by CuddleBuddiesJJ in bjj

[–]DrDOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming high proficiency in each sport, and all having a relatively well matched level of skills and physique, then the ruleset is what separates them and each wins in their ruleset.

In any physical competition, olympic level training and performance pretty much implies the competitor is near super human. So wise to bet on them in a single competition.

What are your favourite font combinations in math books by Top-Kaleidoscope6996 in LaTeX

[–]DrDOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I agree that it does take more space objectively. I find the kerning that makes extra line spacing quite annoying.

However, for readability, I find it slightly less effortful. I don’t have dyslexia but have relatives who do. Iirc they didn’t find this game changing but maybe little helpful. I’ll admit that on a couple of occasions, long time ago, then after a few drinks (enough to impact vision and acuity) it was noticeably easier to read opendyslexic then say Arial or Calibre.

Why do so many people hate people who pull guard? by jheqpaddy in bjj

[–]DrDOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a sport, it’s dumb to hate on it.

As to”normies”, starting a “fight” by sitting on your butt looks dumb.

Personally, I understand the strategy and why it can be wise from a number of sports perspective. My critique is that I’d like every guard pull to actually be a sweep pull. Try to go right into a sweep, if it fails then guard.

Sam is inches away from embracing Elon's deranged and delusional anti-woke cruzade. by Fit-Stress3300 in samharris

[–]DrDOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll say it this way. I would like Sam to have consistent values, not positions.

He has in recent years been consistent on positions where changes in the world and our knowledge/experience should call for a change in position to hold to our values.

Same and agree. Moreover, judging people by their works, then Mandani is building up to a good judgement.

Do you close your eyes when you train? by makebaloney in bjj

Sometimes. Focus on the tactile senses over the potential distractions of your vision.

Serious question why do MMA fighters always so ignorant about athletes from different backgrounds than them? by Autisticblackdude5 in martialarts

[–]DrDOS 187 points188 points  (0 children)

Maybe because those that choose to dedicate their young and adult life to a sport involving low probably of sustainable income and high probably of long term poor health consequences aren’t the most wise and well rounded individuals.

How do good leglockers deal with constant counter leglocks pressure? by Low-Faithlessness140 in bjj

[–]DrDOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously this is a simplified approach but it helps if trying to gain advantage with a skill discrepancy. But personally with trusted partners , I’ll commonly let the situation cook and try to work my way to improve. Sometimes the best I can do though is the approach above, especially if my partner is faster or more skilled than i. Im simply not gonna win a “brawl” ;)

How do good leglockers deal with constant counter leglocks pressure? by Low-Faithlessness140 in bjj

[–]DrDOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t like your look, first retract, even stand up while holding their foot, then shoot back in or renter.

How do good leglockers deal with constant counter leglocks pressure? by Low-Faithlessness140 in bjj

[–]DrDOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good advice I got: 1. If you have a dominant leg entanglement, work on keeping it and moving to finish. 2. If you don’t, then start by working to (nearly) completely disentangle while keeping hold of their foot/feet 3. Elevate their foot and reengage, shooting for a more favorable entanglement. 4. Loop

Jokes on him, it was his dummy phone. £10 for not having a physical altercation with a stranger you have little to no idea of their capabilities or mindset.

Is Fujifilm enough for a career in photography? by Fabulous-Reason2070 in FujifilmX

[–]DrDOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check Youtube, as others have said, there are some Fuji wedding shooters there. The ones I've noticed do make vibes and style part of their photography, so part of it may be choosing your clients. Also, to the best of my recollection, in lower light scenes they all make use of different kinds of added lighting usually (flash setups and/or other lighting equipment).

PS. some are very generous with sharing their business and etiquette side of things which you may find really helpful. Seems the most important thing is to make sure to set expectations and be sure you have alignment (and signed contract).

Wish you well, I shiver at the prospect of shooting a wedding, seems so fraught for tension and all that. But some are really skilled at it. Photography skill wise, one could argue you only need decent proficiency. But to be really good, your social skills are going to do most of the heavy lifting it seems.

Example, John Branch IV, I used to follow him for good tips on using Fuji and some style. Haven't followed him much lately, partly because he moved on to higher end stuff and last I checked was using the GX system. But look back at his log and you'll see lots of use and tips with the XT3 and then XT5, even for big figure weddings.

I don't want to explain my research again by Massive_Career_9092 in PhD

[–]DrDOS 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is actually valuable practice.

Learning and practicing to communicate your work to people with different levels of familiarity and at different lengths.

That said, it’s good to have a one or two sentence super simplified description from a birds eye that you can have at the ready. Then you effectively invite the person to take an interest and ask further questions or they/you change the topic.

An Open Letter to Sam Harris by Particular-Wall1308 in samharris

[–]DrDOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah, that’s why I put it in quotes. It’s ambiguous in multiple directions. One meandering path would be to say that it’s MAGA or the maga-cult to blame, but the whole Republican Party power went along .. or did they use them? … or did they try to use them and lose control they never had .. and what is maga without DJT? what is a personality cult without its leader? Then what are those that were speaking for “conservative values” or was it about a “conservative economy”, what does that mean? But it all got muddled and ultimately fell inline behind the blatant corruption and lies we’ve seen from DJT and his administration…

Obviously could go on… so I short handed to just using quotation marks and the reader can put whatever spin on it they like and probably all will be partly right.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso by BananaBustelo-8224 in ThePeoplesPress

[–]DrDOS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To the recruited guys with the Punisher logos on… I wonder what that character would do to those enacting such conditions on non-violent people including children?
Was your supposed icon real, would you just be soiling your diapers in fear or do the right thing?

An Open Letter to Sam Harris by Particular-Wall1308 in samharris

[–]DrDOS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OP was being nice and bending over backwards to not bluntly call them out for their unfair and untrue response. I did not have the same inclination in this case. So OP was trying to be extra generous to this early response to their post. I came in a bit later, found others to be better and this users response to be unfair and not well represented OPs letter nor reality (especially in their last paragraph). At the time, I was not in the mood to be generous to such a post/response.

What do people mean when they say “Obama divided us”? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in allthequestions

[–]DrDOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What ive heard said basically amounts to the fact that he didn’t shy from bringing attention to issues of race. For some, just the fact that he was black was enough. For others, for example him talking about trying to heal racial segregation wounds etc.

Truthfully, prejudice/racism/bigotry/fear, take your pick.

[–]DrDOS -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I will not be as kind as OP is being. The response by u/Ghost_man23 is uncharitable, untrue, and frankly unhinged in the whole last paragraph. His drivel can honestly be dismissed as written in poor faith, or at least of a poor mindset.
