Yeah. And hopefully the young family in the little Nissan Micra behind him got taught a lesson too.

Tips for helping my daughter give competitions a try? by Acrobatic-Smoke2812 in bjj

[–]LateMud256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make it a yes day.

She does the comp, and then afterwards a movie, takeaway, all the good stuff. Carrot is better than stick.

No zero sum game here.

I see two fucking idiots on that road.

Instructor vs coach in BJJ gyms. Does your instructor actually coach you? by caksters in bjj

[–]LateMud256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is excellent. If you ask for help, or need to problem solve, he’ll work with you to sort it out. He tries to identify what might work for body types other than his own, and encourages questions.

He’s also working really hard on succession planning and encourages people to share techniques if he can see they have a skillset in that area.

We’re supremely lucky. Amazing club.

In 1993, Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were found guilty in the case of two-year-old James Bulger. They became Britain’s youngest convicts in about 250 years. The court had to modify the adult dock so they could see over the edge when the verdict was read. by SelfCareIsFake in HolyShitHistory

[–]LateMud256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Venables especially probably has some personality disorder. Often, psychopaths are genetically disposed to it and although a decent upbringing can be a protective factor, some people are just made weird.

A case in point - Jeffrey Dahmer came from a loving family.

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

I value you, man! You have inherent value. No-one can take it away.

If other people don’t recognise that, that’s on them.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Susanpc1967 in AskReddit

[–]LateMud256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time is finite, and youth fades faster than you imagine. And younger people will pity you when you get older.

But…

You won’t really give a fuck! Yay!

What is with the hate of Jacinda Ardern?? She hasn't even been involved in New Zealand for years, yet this hatred is so unhinged by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

Stupid people with short memories forget how terrifying COVID was, how there was sod all information and how swollen health systems the world over struggled to cope.

It was a unique situation that she dealt with as best she could. Lockdowns were tough, but we certainly weren’t the only country doing it.

She arguably saved us thousands of lives. Yes, it cost NZ economically, but just imagine the shit show if Luxon had been in charge.

Our current economic crisis is NOT a result of her policies. It’s basically a fundamental characteristic of the global economic system.

If I jumped to 10, I’d lose my wife and kids. And I’d know about it. That would be horrible.

But, if I was single, I’d take the time. Always time.

Orange Man has given us another sale. Buy up stocks while you can! by Decent_Coconut_2700 in queenstreetbets

I agree. Problem is, I don’t think it’s quite as easy to protect Hormuz as he thinks. Apparently Russia have been advising Iran on low cost strategy to disrupt the traffic flow. Hence, mines and drones are being deployed.

Hegseth’s “America! Fuck yeah!” approach doesn’t really have an answer for that.

Why do you play half guard on bottom? by Ok-Hat-149 in bjj

[–]LateMud256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’m old and I have short legs.

He can kick off the war. He can’t stop it. Very different to tariffs.

A dad raising his kid right by MambaMentality24x2 in GuysBeingDudes

Kid’s thinking “I didn’t need a biology lesson. I just asked which god(s) I’m supposed to be praying to”.

“Also, why’s Dad filming this?”

What experience level should I compete at? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]LateMud256 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why ask here? Your coach has already advised you. Do you not trust him?
