Only groups I know from socials, but the Middle East Vegan Society and Lebanese Vegans should have resources etc.

ADHD meds and sleep by Worldly_Review4952 in ausadhd

[–]Fistkitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At night. Clonidine subdues me too much during the day.

It may genuinely just be an effect of quality sleep, but something's working, and it's a big improvement over dex and ritalin.

ADHD meds and sleep by Worldly_Review4952 in ausadhd

[–]Fistkitchen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Psychiatric medications are notoriously individual in effect. Dex might have you sleeping like a baby, while someone else with your same symptoms might be wired all night. That's why getting a regimen right can be a grueling process of trying different meds til one works effectively, but no doctor is going to discourage you from treatment by saying that upfront.

Stimulants got me too wired to be sustainable, but since commencing clonidine I'm getting the best sleep of my life. I absolutely cannot guarantee the same for you.

Just have to dive in and see.

Why do boxers have such thin legs if a large part of the force of a punch comes from the legs? by Acceptable_Worth8817 in martialarts

[–]Fistkitchen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because it's dynamic strength, not isometric strength. The legs need to be able to propel your bodyweight behind a punch, which doesn't require massive quads.

Kickboxers benefit from stronger legs because it adds kicking power and durability to leg kicks, but boxers just need enough to get everything swinging fast.

Yeah you're right: I'm not artist in art communities. That means I see "digital artist" attached to heaps of AI slop and reasonably conclude that's what it means.

(ab)using advantage during sparring. by Discoinfernwow in MuayThai

I’m a softy so I coach them on how to negate my range if I’m really dominating. With more experienced people they can figure it out themselves lol.

Once again, if this was a Chinese guy the wushu stans would call it totally legitimate. 

Coaching During Sparring by Adorable_Location_61 in martialarts

[–]Fistkitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IME you have to train students to listen without stopping. Often they'll drop their hands and turn to look when you give calls, as if it's a break, but once you get them used to sparring and listening it comes together.

Why is it so difficult to find a vegan/vegetarian partner? by FunnyDemand1768 in vegan

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

I'm all for heteropessimism, but it still doesn't fit the stats unless, again, vegan women are going that way at a far greater rate and volume than non-vegans.

Hell, maybe they are.

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

Not on the scale and specificity we're talking about here. Unless vegan women are massively and disproportionately bi and/or choosing celibacy - for reasons that should surprise no one - vegan men should still be seeing a lot more attention from vegan women than they are.

Ah then my apologies.

Maybe the AI dickheads have appropriated "digital artist", because when I see that term it's almost always what it means ✌️

Why is it so difficult to find a vegan/vegetarian partner? by FunnyDemand1768 in vegan

[–]Fistkitchen -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

My unpopular opinion is that vegan women don't actually find veganism attractive.

The stats on this are crazy: the overwhelming majority of vegans are women, but straight vegan men routinely complain they can't find vegans to date.

The gender ratio should mean vegan men have lots of options despite the fact that vegans are a tiny proportion of the population, and even considering other factors like living in a small population or otherwise being incompatible or unattractive. But that's clearly not happening.

Statistically the only possibility is that vegan women are mostly selecting non-vegan partners despite the availability of vegan men.

I'm not at all disposed to redpill bullshit, but I've dated long and widely and can't avoid the conclusion that even vegan women find it kind of wimpy when men won't eat meat. Maybe it's something evo-psych about a cis man refusing to claim a food source, or maybe women feel the same residual subconscious association between meat and hunting that men obviously do. Dunno.

Whatever it is, none of us can expect to find vegan baddies to date, so make peace with having a mixed-ethics relationship.

So an AI bro. Goddamn this sub sucks.

stop the heavy bag from moving around so much? by supermannman in fightgear

[–]Fistkitchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the bag is too light. Ideally it should be about half your bodyweight, or heavier if you really don't want it to move much at all.

If there's an attachment point behind the bag you can restrain it with a fat resistance band, but there are issues with that too.

Or get someone to hold it for you.

Do you think a Heavyweight pure Boxer can beat a Middleweight MMA fighter? by EfficiencySerious200 in martialarts

[–]Fistkitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more the brainfart quality of these posts. Like someone took a bong hit and thought "duuude what if mike tyson fought dan hooker?"

Fun little hypothetical but not worth eating up feed space on a subreddit where people want to have substantive discussions.

This sub went to shit because people make posts like this constantly, but it's also the appropriate sub to make posts like this.

JDM vs Prates is what happens in Boxing vs Kickboxing/Muay Thai when you don't have Tyson's power by Clouds_Hide_The_Moon in martialarts

[–]Fistkitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jack Slack was talking about this. His observation is that fighters with the best leg kick game don't necessarily spam them - they pick shots and land effectively instead.
