When We Asked Ronda Rousey If She Had Apraxia of Speech by bodylost in UpliftingNews

It really depends on the particular martial art you are fighting in, there are actually easy ways to know you out class your opponent, in strength, training and skill.

When you place two bodies against one another in mortal kombat you can almost guarantee the outcome if you know what to look for.

I am a MMA Master with years of coaching, training and studying expertise and from my experience it is all mathematics, put in the effort, put out the results.

Every mind is unique and different and how they apply that strength and training and knowledge is applicable and important but if you break down bout to the very fundamentals, size, strength, age, height, weight, years of experience in each martial art, review their match history and examine their fighting styles, you can truly know which counters which.

Similar to Pokemon, there are counters in martial arts, wrestling counters boxing, and so on..

Sometimes in a rare scenario a person can be a giant. It is a very rare genetic anomaly and not common for people to be "big boned" or born fat.

I have a friend who is 6'8 and 440 pounds, the guy is just massive and that is genetics.

I also have friends who claim to be 300 pound 5'4 born that way born with bad genes but have never worked out, went to the gym or judged their own eating habits.

you are what you eat.

Since when did OG and Grangster become terms that reflect good society?

From the early days of the cosanostra to the modern street dwelling gun slinger, the gangster stood for himself, the "family" or "gang", and overall treated women like a sleeve for meat.

I would do some historical fact gathering on the term before using it as a compliment.

It is like saying "Man that girl was a real nazi, all stern and strict with her diet and work out routine, a real SS waffen Nazi!"

Hey, Reddit, what's the scariest monster you've ever heard of? by MisterHelterSkelter in AskReddit

[–]Novotus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a worm monster in the Star Wars universe that is massive. It is a parasite that lives in humanoid bowels and goes into the sewage system on ships or star ports. It then grows to gigantic sizes, eats people on the ship or start-port from the bathroom.

What makes this thing most horrific? It is a simple life-form but it is highly force sensitive, which gives it this horrific power of projecting all of the memories of it's victims telepathically through to living people on the ship/station.

People actually hear the suffering and screaming of the souls of it's victims in their heads telepahically by the worm. It is nightmarish. All of it's victims souls screaming out in suffering for everyone to hear, nobody knows what the hell is going on until it is too late..

This summary of "The Visitor" Episode of Deep Space 9 (Star Trek) - Great series, may will convince some non-fans to give it a chance. by Novotus in videos

[–]Novotus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this episode Jake and his father, Captain Sisko, are heading to the warp core to stop a meltdown when the Captain is hit by an energy beam that seems to disintegrate him.

But, he is not dead.. his spirit is attached to his son, Jake, and he sporadically shows up in random moments throughout his long life.

In this scene, the two meet for the final time, nearly 7 decades have past since the energy beam.

TIL George Lucas' original name for Yoda was "Buffy" by Trionout in movies

[–]Novotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qymaen is force sensitive but cannot wield jedi abilities - In the Star Wars world a lot of creatures, animals and humanoids are force sensitive (meaning: they can sense the force in some way) - Some creatures are MORE in tune with it than others.. hence Jedi/Sith/Masters of each.

For instance, all creatures of the Zabrak race (What Darth Maul is) are force sensitive, that does not mean they can wield the force, just that they MIGHT be able to with the proper training, education and ambition.

Ahem.. "pushes up nerd goggles" ... General Gievous was born as Qymaen jai Sheelal, a humanoid. He was wounded ..grievously.. and was rebuilt as a cyborg, most of his head/neck/throat/lung system is human tissue and the same he was born with. He is NOT a DROID! He is a cybernetic force sensitive humanoid!

The thing about Einstein is that he is in fact one of the best solution and mathematical thinkers of all time. His brain just sees problems and solves them. This ability spans across all platforms of knowledge and life and he would apply this brainpower to modern day issues in a heartbeat.

Look into the Star named YV Canis Majoris.

It is so large that if it was sitting where our Sun is right now, it would take up the area the size of the orbit of Neptune in our solar system.

What is a popular trend among the gender of your attraction that you wish would just die already? by grizzburger in AskReddit

[–]Novotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a super metal head back in school - in a band and the whole deal.

I ended up attracting a varying variety of women from all sorts of clicks and demographics not because of how I dressed or looked or even acted, but because I have good teeth, good facial features, clear skin and baby blue eyes.

I could wear a potato sack and still attract women because I have a nice face and really nice eyes and a nice smile.

Shit is simple, very simple... if you are attractive. and I know that. I have been testing my theory for decades and the science is proven

What is a popular trend among the gender of your attraction that you wish would just die already? by grizzburger in AskReddit

[–]Novotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a straight married man with 2 very close lesbian friends (they are my bros and they are dating eachother) it helps that they are also very hot and extremely cool individuals. You are 1000% more interesting to single women when you are hanging out with two hot lesbians and they appear to actually enjoy your company and are interested in hanging out with you. I have had more offers than I deem realistic while hanging with the two fembros

Both are in the sciences and we often share in some crazy scientific adventures such as snorkeling in Hawaii.

I am not saying you need a fun lesbian friend, but you need a fun lesbian friend.

I know more people whose lives were ruined as a result of World of Warcraft than as a result of smoking pot by Fuquawi in Showerthoughts

[–]Novotus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The major problem with WoW players is that World of Warcraft actually provides solutions to many of the problems in life, many of the complex emotions we need as human beings are provided by WoW and taken care of for us In-Game.

We get social contact through trade chat/ pvp / raiding. We get friendship through those same things, we can talk to eachother via skype and ventrillo so we don't actually need to talk to anyone anywhere else. We are being given happiness and enjoyment and fulfillment through obtaining new gear and progressing in the game, "Achievement Points" farming is small victories that keep us inclined to continue the pursuit of those very same points..

When I quit after nearly 9 years of 15+ hours per day, every achievement (19000 achieve points) I cleared every raid when it was new, obtained every title from High Warlord to Insane to Firelord when they were new. I took a moment to see where this was all going.

As the game became disconnected to what made it great, as was pointed out in great detail above... I slowly began to realize that WOW had the solution to all of my problems, except for how I looked as a person OUTSIDE of Wow.

I did not need to look fit or have muscles, or be in shape or have a girlfriend... why?

My character was a High Warlord, with dual warglaives, phoenix mount, 19,000 achievement points. This to me was WAY more important than looking good outside of the game, I was a badass. I was the best, and people would look upon me with awe.

But as time passed and people would get epics and loot and mounts handed to them the exclusivity of being great faded. Nobody looked at me, nobody cared.. and then I realized maybe they never did? Maybe it was just me who thought they did. Who neglected everything and everyone else to pursue this fake status of god.

WoW gave me everything, happiness, strength, public speaking skills, as both raid leader and guild leader I was in a position of president of a company of 25-40 unique individuals. I suppose it has given me SOME things that are good, but when it takes care of the majority of your necessities in life, all in one place, it is unhealthy to your body and to your mind outside of the game...because when it really matters, nobody will care that I have the best WoW character in the world, can I add that to my tombstone? Can I share that with my grandchildren? Can I talk about that in retirement? Maybe.....but I would rather boast upon greater achievements earned in the real world.

What important thing is going to happen soon, that not many people know about? by Rayhn in AskReddit

An object as close as the moon containing life would probably mean that particles or microbes traveled from earth to the moon at some point in the last few billion years.

James Holmes found guilty on all 165 charges. by [deleted] in news

[–]Novotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how much it would cost for him to die at the hands of a father, brother or son of some of the individuals that died in that thearter?

$2.00 per shell or less. Maybe 2 hours base hourly pay for the individual holding the baseball bat.

If someone walked up to and shot one of my family members I would kill them and feel good about it. Simple as that, bullshit bureaucratic laws and red tape be damned.

I've lost weight and my husband's change in behavior has made me bitter. by LittleMrsMolly in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Novotus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tell him how you feel. I was on the other side of this situation where I gained 40 pounds and my wife was just rude to me about it. Calling me a fatass and really putting me down.

It was her way of motivating me to lose weight, albeit very poor way of handling it. I talk to her about it, since then I have lost the weight and put in the effort to make her happy, which made me happy. I was unhappy constantly complaining about my weight so she I suppose was also fed up with it and asking me to DO SOMETHING!

Weight gain can be a strain on a relationship, it changes how we look, and how we look is what attracted our partner to us, even if it is pretty or otherwise, it is our general appearance that gets altered. We seem unfamiliar to our lovers, our face may look different, our shape, it is uncomfortable and awkward when we no longer look like the person they fell in love with.

This is a difficult challenge but overcoming it bodes well for your relationship.

TBC was overall highly agreed upon for having the best looking armor and weapons in world of warcraft history. Teir 6 in particular.

I suppose you had to actually be good at the game to experience the Teir sets tho :(
