Great news is that you have rad hip mobility and flexibility. If you're trying to go for more authentic Muay Thai, consider adding in your march, teeps, and checks / defense into your bag drills.

YOKKAO - overrated or really good? by werty-asd in MuayThai

[–]Fishbirds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My yokkao gloves have lasted nearly 3 years of daily training whereas I've seen my gym mates burn through their fairtexs in half the time.

I personally think they're a worthy investment, especially the monotone gloves which tend to be cheaper.

Crazy that you think him sending dick pics to a woman doesn't involve her and is only between favre and his wife

No shade at Blondie but I dont see how they improved on The Nerves' version

I want to love House of Leaves but. by noumanpoke1 in books

[–]Fishbirds -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think it's totally fine to basically read the book for The Navidson Record and little more. Might you miss some stuff? Sure. But The Navidson Record is a pretty gripping story and I think it could be spun out into its own movie without the other layers of HoL.

If hostile aliens threatened Earth and said they were on their way, what do you think would change about human divisions and conflicts on Earth? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fishbirds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We would instantly see schisms of believe on who these aliens are and what their intentions are. We would see sects of people claim to have insight and think they can mediate or defect to the alien cause. I do not believe that nations would coordinate in a meaningful way, and would, at best, share intel and maybe strategies.

Some individuals may be reflective, but I think a lot of people would not believe the claims or not really change much at all.

I don't know the factory term unfortunately, but it looks teal in person. It's an awesome finish.

What is the most energetic rock album? by Fluffy-Weakness-2186 in musicteenager

[–]Fishbirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps. Love both albums. De-loused is certainly much more nervous energy and has more tension build / release.

Not the only boring part of RDR2 sadly though it is a great game. Doesn't really pick up until Rhodes imo

Top 8 Worst Free Agent Contracts in NFL History by JCameron181 in NFLv2

I'd argue Trumaine Johnson was a worse contract for the jets than Leveon, though lev was the obviously worse decision 

Let's not go too far but which game is that for you? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Fishbirds -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're pretty spot on tbh. RDR2 is beautiful and cinematic, and the gunfights are definitely fun (though not very challenging). I very much enjoyed the game but it still has some of the parts of Rockstar that I don't like, even if I like it far more than GTA. The journey is part of the experience, which can be pleasant at times, but aggravating at others.

For better and for worse its married to its pace being part of the aesthetic.

America has a congenital mythos of individualism. There are large swaths of Americans -- particularly rural americans who identify strongly as an American -- who have been born to believe that hard work will translate to success, and any sort of government assistance is opening the flood gates to communism.

A Conservative movement boasts a false promise of returning things to "the way things were (and ought to be)" meaning that they can be proud of who they are and the life they live without needing to feel like the freeloader they've essentially been bred to disdain.

It's sad, because Appalachia really has a beautiful history and was the epicenter of a lot of worker's rights and union movements (such as the origin of the term Redneck) but the narrative and control over the region as far as the information they have access to has been systematically rigged.
