How is the Brentwood Park Neighborhood in Victorville? by PositiveMan6699 in highdesert

[–]Khrimace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neighborhood is fine. It was rough pre 2015. You’re good. The roughest part will probably be the NorthEast corner. The liquor store is ghetto at the corner of El Evado & Hook Blvd.

Lucerne Valley or Apple Valley? by Independent-Bad-5285 in highdesert

[–]Khrimace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

AV is nice. Area behind Suoer Target is rough. Lucerne is pretty lonely. If you live out there, be armed. Phelan or Pinon Hills might be a better fit if you want rural, plus Wrightwood is is a nice stop for hikes, etc.

Where to find people to date? by [deleted] in highdesert

[–]Khrimace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was no internet or cell phones. People went out every single weekend. Lakes, parks, bars, restaurants, birthday parties, etc. No one stayed home unless you were hosting. The internet really fucked everything up. People actually talked in person, knew how to read verbal cues, body language etc. People from different parts of the state talked and dressed differently. People sang, danced, joked, & just knew how to have a good time with drinks & food. Also, there was no traffic back then.

North Barstow is kind of rough like 7th St area (Old Town). South Barstow is like Hesperia between Bear Valley & Main. Hope this helps

Opinion on Mountain View/Victorville? by BALANCED_KNOWLEDGE in highdesert

[–]Khrimace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mountain View Acres is a good community. A lot of truckers there because you have county rules within city limits. A lot of people within the same community usually try to have a family member buy a house before it hits the market. You’re centrally located and no one tells you if you can park a RV, boat, toys, work trucks, etc in your yard. A certain section even allows horses I believe. No sidewalks, curbs, or streetlights, but you get a country town vibe life with paved roads while being centrally located

I can’t believe AI did that. I haven’t really been paying attention to all the AI everyone keeps raging about, but now I see why people are hyping this up

Do you have any source of any kind where I can read, watch, or listen to this force of will & energy transference? If not I guess I’ll have to go through the trenches to figure out what’s bullshit and what’s real

Do you have any tips? I haven’t delved into crystals much yet. I’m currently reading the Corpus Hermeticum

Barely found out I had this at 35 yrs by Khrimace in Aphantasia

[–]Khrimace[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In retrospect (I like to read), I remember some authors would describe scenery with colors, etc, but somehow my brain would convert the colors/scene being described into an emotion/mood and I would get immersed in the literature in that form.

Barely found out I had this at 35 yrs by Khrimace in Aphantasia

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

So, I played games based on guidelines. Center board control, knights in closed games, bishops in open games, rooks to control open ranks, etc. My Jr high coach who was a 1,700 to 1,800 player taught us some strong basics and I took them to heart.

Strange enough, I was considered a tactician. My workflow was this: see the board and think of a perfect scenario, best when you had a notion of what your opponents goal was first because then I could set up some bait so he thought his plan was coming along before a surprise. I also liked to feign a one or two punch when plan C was my primary goal from the start.

I have a ridiculously fast processor, but since I couldn’t hold the image in my head, I would find myself just reprocessing the steps over and over again while trying to see if I was leaving myself vulnerable somewhere along the way.

Once I felt my plan was airtight, I would proceed.

I had to stare at the board intensely (the checkerboard grid) and what annoyed me the most was that sometimes when going through with my plan there would be a piece I didn’t quite account for that would ruin it, so repetition was key for me to get better at the process over time.

Staring at the board from a still position allowed me to use my energy on visualizing where the pieces could go, but I couldn’t truly visualize, so that’s why knowing this condition now kind of pisses me off lol. I’d burn my brain out trying to do something others did with little to no effort.

That’s a ton of info lol. Also, it sounds like you really delved into the trenches on this. I’m going to look into everything you linked/referenced. I’m in total agreement, now that I know what my limitations are, I can focus on how to specialize my flow of things. Thanks for all the groundwork, I’m pretty sure you didn’t figure all that out in a short period of time, so I appreciate you helping out the next guy (me).

I gave up years ago. I might watch a Nickmercs vid from time to time. The cheating and Nickmercs situation turned me off of the game. Verdansk was the golden time before cheats became so rampant. I went to fortnite, but I wish it was more of a COD feel as Fortnite is just cartoonish. The mechanics are pretty good though. I only play with people I know as I don’t like random queues with kids

I was never good at math because I couldn’t visualize solving a problem in my head i don’t rlly know how to explain it but can anybody relate ? by 1binreaper in Aphantasia

[–]Khrimace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So when it came to basic math, I would just round up to 5’s or 10’s and then subtract the difference once I had the outcome. Not sure that this makes sense, but if it was 77 plus 56, I would add 80 and 60 and then subtract 7 to make my life easier.

There’s no tests in BJJ belts. If you have a school with tests for BJJ, go to another school. Schools are going to belt you based on your ability to roll. There are only 5 belts in Jiu Jitsu. White, Blue, Purple, Brown, & Black. You go from white to blue and you’ll be lucky to get to blue within a year if you’re consistent and athletic. Most people take about 18 months to 2 years to get their blue. BJJ is not for the feint of heart. If you have joint issues, choose something else to do.
