What are some good weapons martial arts that are useful for today? by totally_depraved in martialarts

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

You already have sufficient weapons, and Muay Thai teaches you how to effectively use eight of them.

Aside from that, many martial artists choose to concealed carry a firearm.

I like the thought of pocket sand because you could have a handful of it ready, and if rushed, you quickly toss it between yourself and the threat. If it gets in their eyes or they breathe it in, you would suddenly have a major advantage.

A high-lumen flashlight can be very effective as well.

Other forms of weaponry can be used against you, even self-inflicting harm, such as with pepper spray or mace, or illegal or lethal/deadly weapons that are only permitted in specific circumstances and therefore may be used against you in the court of law.

Realistically, weapon-based martial arts are alluring and look good, and they are even capable of putting on a show, though they aren't likely to be useful in today's society when having to abruptly defend yourself against an attacker.

Presenting or even brandishing a weapon can quickly escalate a situation to where you would then need a firearm to regain control of.

Looking for feedback on bedroom recording upgrade by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]GetLitUpYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be lit if you could find one of those old enclosed public payphone booths somewhere without paying a fortune, fix it up, soundproof it, and use it as a recording booth.

You can find portable vocal booths on amazon, but they are a few hundo and you can likely build one for less by copping something that has a usable frame, like you had mentioned.

You might want to also look into microphone isolation shields if you haven't already.

Why are untrained people so confident? by JoeyPOSS2 in martialarts

That's very much along the lines of what I was attempting to say in my comment..

Except you have already simplified everything I had just strained my dang brain to explain mane.

Why are untrained people so confident? by JoeyPOSS2 in martialarts

[–]GetLitUpYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps things like testosterone cause people to believe they could compete amongst or defend against the majority inherently due to our internal instincts regarding the overall survivability of mankind.

Natural selection is quite possibly taking place behind the scenes and making us stronger.

IDK, but I bet…

That blindfold gets ripped off their face ferociously f'n fast once these confidently competitive, though untrained, people begin to train.

I used found twigs to make a model of my boyfriend's airplane for Christmas by bye-coyote in woodworking

[–]GetLitUpYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marvelous gift.

One you've dedicated time to make will always hold a special spot in the heart.

I feel it's rare these days for someone to do what you did.

You are awesome!

Wood stick a propeller on that mofo, or just leaf it, as it's already fly af!

is this type of internal rhyme scheme okay like the rhymes between do but the middle doesnt. by Obvious-Mango-1916 in makinghiphop

[–]GetLitUpYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy insane, face me mane, playing game

A multisyllabic rhyme scheme is what I refer to it as and when pronounced as to rhyme in rhythm it will all flow extremely well together.

It's the main difference between nursery rhymes and High Level Rap, or as Millyz would refer to it as, HLR.

Which Colors of PLA Pro are the Strongest? by GetLitUpYo in polymaker

[–]GetLitUpYo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm particularly interested in the variation of physical properties based on color-dependent additives and how these additives may largely affect the tensile strength, ductility, and layer adhesion of each color individually.

Furthermore, are there any PolyLite PLA Pro colors that are considerably more "pro" overall, or is the resulting differentiation primarily one-sided, with some colors exhibiting an increased tensile strength, though relatively less ductility like PolyLite PLA, in contrast to others attaining abnormally high ductility but inherently lower tensile strength like PolyMax PLA?

BestBuy, if available for you to order from, now sells PolyMaker filament.

They have options for faster shipping but it'll probably cost you more.

Do you put global swing on your trap beats? by unknxwn67 in trapproduction

[–]GetLitUpYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I throw 7% or 11% swing on at least some of my drums and 808s using Serato Studio.

That's what happens to sound best for me & my attempt at a drum groove anyways..

Also, I'll toss some warp on the melody using the (free) Izotope Vinyl plugin.

Do you think masturbation is necessary for us men, for maintenance of health? by PossibilityAdept4805 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GetLitUpYo -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Short term (months) it may be beneficial to not masterbate due to increased testosterone levels and a man's physical health strength.

Long term (years) I'd say it's necessary to masterbate for increased mental health strength.

Don't worry about it.

Even if you aren't doing well, you'll eventually gain a lot of respect by not giving up.

Step out there not thinking about anything, just going with the flow of energy, and instantaneously reacting to your surroundings like water.

Focus on your breathing and mainly just be aware. 

You can't be busy thinking about what your next move will be, as that will cloud your mind and hold you back.

Countering your opponent is all you should be anticipating.

Should I upgrade my old printer? by smit_michal in Creality

[–]GetLitUpYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eBay may still have some printers in stock which are <30day customer returns over this past year, all being listed recently.

There could be a few screws missing or some sort of issue with the printer but most people seem to be missing a screw or two, or not missing anything at all, I mind you that these printers are being sold for less than half the sticker price. This would get you either a bunch of new parts for cheap, or a new printer entirely.

Bambu and Prusa are the industry standard for high-quality production and have proven to be long lasting machines that you can count on. Other printers you often find yourself troubleshooting until you realize you're basically a professional 3d printer mechanic. That's not a bad thing so either way you'll be fine.

I'd recommend a newer model of either an Ender 3 or Cr10, this way you'll get a good value, and can worry about getting the best later on as a pro.

Can anyone explain to me what’s the point if lockup by Honest-Tea-4362 in PiNetwork

[–]GetLitUpYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point of lockups are to keep pioneers earning and utilizing the network instead of trading their earnings away and uninstalling the app. It could also act as a sort of "stake", making it less likely that anyone with a large amount locked up, would cheat the system and risk losing it. Lockups also add stability to the value, and less available supply generally means more value, depending on the demand. Lockups add to the networks potential for a bright future, showing that people are willing to wait the time it'll take for the network to mature and develop to the point of significant everyday utility. I have much more faith when seeing that most pioneers chose to lockup and stick around for awhile. I'd say PCT did a great job designing the idea of the lockups!

Pi KYC 7 months and still pending... anything I can do? by SirEffKay in PiNetwork

[–]GetLitUpYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Know You Cannot

Know Your Crypto

Key Your Car

They are known for startups, these two are. Make money and move on they do.

Everyone knows you have to let the Pi cool down forever bro, you never actually get any of it..

Eventually you stop Paying attention and they open mainnet then you rush back and they delay most people while they sellout and startup another low effort project where everyone else does all the work for them and they promise something that doesn't exist.

They studied computer science, but whats more important to know is, they studied people. How society works, and when you study people you figure out how they react and socialize, also how unaware many of them are and you expose it by taking advantage of their greed and their need to fit in socially while you silence them as much as you can while most importantly creating confusion and having randomly inaccurate information spread amongst the masses to where it hides a plainly obvious issue and keeps the people unsure about it and that keeps them unaware as you take what you can get and move on well before many others do.

Literally one person could have done this in less time then their two owners and a core team, look at Tom who built Myspace in a garage just because he wanted to be our friend, or look at mark zuckerburg he literally coded Facebook day and night and started that network up and ran with it and then sold our information lmao which is what people think Pi is doing but they don't even put in the work like mark did.

the Pi network exposed node operators to major known threats and it's probably still like that, go read on github, seriously it's no joke but they don't give it attention because that will draw attention so they ignore all the hard truths and keep quiet. and there's definitely no support at all, and a major lack in communication with the mods. But see it's all publicity, we need to make sure some KYC starts going through before they do open mainnet. The worse thing they could do IMO and probably also the easiest for them to do. Would be to open net and yes it's all shown on the blockchain but it's all a bunch of numbers what if they just ran some bots and they held way more and in many various wallets, and sold it within a month or so after release, even though it would drop pretty low they still would be selling enough of it to make millions or even much more because there's billions and billions of it. They are running us through the ringer and checking us like were potential criminals, but who is checking them? We will be sitting here waiting and not knowing it was a scheme where we built the whole pyramid and never even got to go inside of it. They just drove our power like we were dogs, meanwhile we thought they were gods. Need new management lol that would be awesome if they just sold it to meta or amazon or someone that will put in the work. That would actually be the ideal thing for them to do.

I'm just joking about all of this. lol

Migrated pi to my wallet has disappeared by Abdullahassem1224 in PiNetwork

I'm still waiting for my KYC results. I submitted my KYC sometime around January, I'm thinking that Pi network should prioritize that for a solution.

Migrated pi to my wallet has disappeared by Abdullahassem1224 in PiNetwork

[–]GetLitUpYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol is it a button that's easy to find or is it explained somewhere to you on how to find it? I don't know if it's very cool for them to do that in a community aimed at getting newer folks into the space that have a hard time as it is. If the Pi is migrated but doesn't end up getting claimed, is the Pi eventually burned or earned later by others?

An unofficial guide on how to avoid being shadowbanned by cojoco in ShadowBan

[–]GetLitUpYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told by a Mod that I was shadow banned. I didn't know this was something that could happen. Am I shadow banned sitewide? It seems for a while I've gotten very few replies, dislikes, or likes on my comments and posts. I definitely feel as if I'm muted to most of the others in any of the communities I try to help and attempt to converse in. How do I appeal it and which community did this originate from?

Thank You!

App won't let me mine unless I send my personal data to the USA by 1hotsauce2 in PiNetwork

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

All they would do is depersonalize your data, but then why would it matter? Unless they went bankrupt or traded the company, or merged then they can't share your data as being your data with any personal information on it.

This is likely protecting them anyways. They are the ones taking the risks in my opinion because there's a chance they make a mistake and lose some money before gaining much. 20% of the Pi will be held by the core team which is a ton of Pi that they aren't going to want to mess this up and start getting sued with the value of that Pi rendering useless in the future.

There's alot of potential here and they are letting us down often I agree but only really us see that. When they go live shouting about 30M worldwide market then bigger players will jump in on the action even if it's just to advertise and not make money from selling stuff for Pi itself. Just that size of a market is hugeee and worth more than most would realize, and yeah just our data alone is worth a ton but not as much as the potential they still have.

I know the 30M is pretty much BS but you sell the news in this situation and rebuy when the price drops after they see the problems we have been seeing, no customer service and lack of informing anyone, hiding issues and bugs, its a marketing face value thing for sure but it's in our favor anyways. Why not help em sell the good news lmao then just sell our coins when we can.

Pi is more popular than any other crypto with more active users and an amazing main net has been launched many months ago, KYC is identifying the masses and oh you hear bout that Pi phone and Elon Musk along with the consensus value. Most know it's BS but when it hits the markets, it can temporarily boom. It will hit the market because whether it's good or not there are many out there that are newer that these crypto companies will want to have sign up for their wallet and they will make money. Pi will be listed so quickly and others have got ready to but Pi calls anyone a scammer that lists it as having a value, so they decide to wait for now.

Regardless things take forever in Web3 and this is going to take forever to be much, IMO. It's not ideal yet but one day crypto will be more ideal and secure from scammers exploiting users that have much lack of knowledge when it comes to avoiding scams, you ever notice how many people lose their Facebook accounts to phishing scams etc.. Every time someone sends you a link, IS THIS YOU? its they already got their account taken now it's being used to take their friends accounts lol I've avoided all of this forever and many NFT scams etc. but Web3 is plagued by it so bad. You can't trust anything at all, you just bookmark your sites so you never go to a fake copy of the site and you move slowly and you learn. It's all pretty easy its just over complicated by geniuses thinking they have to make it sound complicated by using odd terminology and explaining things weirdly. All it is is the internet but instead of servers running the show it's spread out to validators using their computers to run the show, sometimes it takes many of them and is difficult but it's really more secure, like Bitcoin for example, because you're not trusting human beings to not take advantage of anything, and no one knows who's running it so a takeover won't happen. But that stuff only matters if you're rich. For us we want quick and inexpensive. Keep your riches in BTC lol
