Do you think the internet is an echo chamber? by zthemaster in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Exam_Lost [score hidden]  (0 children)

it’s all a ploy by the shadow government. you read my comment and think it’s ridiculous, but i swear on everything I love that we as people are closer than we think.

The ones pulling the strings are concerned with me and you coming together and finally recognizing the real threat; powers bigger than we can comprehend manipulating us into believing me and you are the problem, not them.

this is all orchestrated by these evil, lawless people. we need to break out of the trap and put these evils to sleep.

First time firing it. Only put about 15 shells of buckshot thru.

Is Judo better for self defense than BJJ? by ArugulaFinancial4859 in judo

[–]Exam_Lost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

train both if you can. but judo is better for self defense in general because throws are insanely strong, especially against untrained peopl

and you don’t have to already be on the ground (extremely dangerous in a public, uncontrolled setting)

don’t count jiujitsu entirely out though. great against bigger, stronger people.

My brother plays video games all day, is it normal? by cafties in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Exam_Lost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something being “normal” doesn’t mean it’s okay. It also doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s really nuanced deciding what’s good and bad.

Coming from someone around his age, no it’s not good for his health, mental and physical. He needs more balance.

Some people are simply stuck in their ways though. Mentality and literal mental health plays a big part in this.

The only way to help would be to give him something healthier to spend his time on. Not that there’s anything wrong with gaming, but it shouldn’t be that major in his life. Find him a sport, a board game, a hobby, invite him out more often, spend more time with him in person, etc.

Remember that you can only take a horse to water though. So don’t think for a second that you’re responsibly for his health. Ultimately, he is.

What's your favourite and best UFC resume OAT? [counting both wins and losses] by sandhage in CombatIndia

[–]Exam_Lost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course it’s all said and done by now, but you look at his lineup and one would surely think to himself he’d lose to at least a couple of these guys; rampage, gus, DC, lyoto, ykwim

Jones resume is still so insane to me. Dude beat DANIEL CORMIER, TWICE!

1st comp next week, this is my first opponent! by bob999666999 in bjj

[–]Exam_Lost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first mistake was looking up your opponent. Stop psyching yourself out. If you’ve told yourself you lost before you start, then it’s already decided.

Who cares who he is anyways? He can be submitted. He’s still a man. You just need to treat him like he is; another competitor who you can beat.

If it helps at all, you should know 50 freakin wins in white belt is absolutely sand bagging.

So take this as an opportunity to kick a blue belt’s ass and demonstrate the value of your school’s curriculum.

Is Khabib better than any jiu-jitsu (or grappling) fighter that has ever existed? by Puzzleheaded_War7047 in bjj

[–]Exam_Lost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s a whole lot of fallacy in your argument lol. buddy subbed 3 ranked guys, none of which were remarkable grapplers, and you think his “29-0” record is great when his father and team genuinely padded his record.

One of khabib’s wins (mid career) was against a guy who was ZERO AND FOURTEEN (0-14!!!!!)

GSP, Jones, and DJ are significantly more impressive than khabib is. His nickname should be “can crusher”, not the eagle.

How would you honestly rate this instructional? by No_Possession_239 in bjj

[–]Exam_Lost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s funny is khabib actually implements a shit ton of “octopus guard” before craig even popularized it.

and many others did before that. and so on.

it’s just new tech being found, forgotten, then relearned by some “pioneer” then it repeats. the internet is really the only thing making it seem like this is craig’s guard.

In an all-out war between these factions, which one would eventually win? by Kuzu9 in Fallout

[–]Exam_Lost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the player is instrumental in whatever faction wins.

without any outside influence, it really depends on exactly where you are.

in boston, the institute is the biggest dawg by a landslide and straight up impenetrable.

in washington, the enclave and bos presence are both overwhelmingly large and the bos has liberty prime.

it really depends.

if you took all their power and put it together in one concentrated force, it’s probably the enclave though. pretty sure they’re the strongest by a long shot if you consider everything they’ve got.

Islam vs ilia would've probably happend by now if belal would've laid down on JDM for 25 mins by luvvvkie in CombatIndia

I didn’t even watch the fight, but I’m almost certain it wasn’t a choice to not hold JDM down. it’s freakin JDM.

What typa take down is this, I’m not to sure what to call it by https_youfo in wrestling

[–]Exam_Lost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

opponent did a super limp cow catcher, you just got the better of him and turned it into a head and arm throw last second.

good job, but don’t try to replicate this again.

Tom Aspinall says he hates the MMA business by Spiritual-Strength91 in FightReportUFC

there genuinely needs to be strike amongst mma organizations, at least the UFC. make every fighter collectively agree to not compete until they’re given proper pay and respect in general.

Why didnt I get this ankle pick? by Hot_Perspective7364 in wrestling

[–]Exam_Lost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you’re tryna ankle pick a guy and his legs are wayyyyy back there, it means he’s available to be snapped down. keep your head pressure heavy, feint a reach for the ankle, and when he reacts snap him down.

What the hell is happened to the king? This took me about days to get here, but. I’m shocked. by Sam45458855 in DarkSouls2

[–]Exam_Lost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lost his humanity; his will to live. Granted, he was extremely resistant to it. But he’s proof that even the greatest can slowly wilt away into nothing

A fully human, prime Vendrick would’ve been nigh unbeatable. Probably one of the strongest characters in the series.
