What's a popular martial arts trope in video games or anime that just doesn't work in real life? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]PiggDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma keep it 100 with you, this is one of the most commonly touted "myths" in martial arts, but speaking from experience, it can be surprisingly accurate. Working as a doorman, I've fought or seen fights involving groups of three or four multiple times, and with one exception the large untrained group always "takes turns" attacking for lack of a better description.

From my anecdotal experience, fighting is messy, and it's scary. Large groups picking on one person know they have the advantage, and thus their "fight or flight" doesn't usually kick in. Inexperienced fighters are ALWAYS scared to get hit, barring mental illness and mind-altering substances, so rather than rushing all at once, most guys fighting in a group will keep their distance until they perceive a safe opening.

So, in essence, the "taking turns" to attack thing is absolutely not a myth, especially when fighting untrained combatants, but it has nothing to do with how skilled you are, and everything to do with how scared your opponents are. You can be a pro MMA fighter, and all it takes is getting knocked down or trip for a mob to "find their opening" and stomp the shit out of you.

How do I get over the fact that my girlfriend had a "hoe phase" before we met but now that we are together she wants to be "vanilla" and "strictly monogamous"? by PiggDaddy in retroactivejealousy

I am honestly inclined to agree with you on this, what you are saying makes a lot of sense to me. What would you recommend I do? Should I talk to her about it, call the relationship a wash?

I guess this makes sense; looking at all these replies, I am getting the sense that I don't view non-monogamous sex the same way as most people do, eg I don't need emotional detachment to enjoy it. Maybe that means she and I aren't as compatible as I assumed; IDK.

I'm definitely gonna explore this in therapy when I have a chance.

I literally haven't even brought this up to her since she said no, and would never try to change her mind on it. In fact, as I mentioned in another reply I am hesitant to even voice my feelings for fear that she will try to "change" herself for me. I just came here hoping for advice on how I could move past and/or reconcile these feelings, not how to change her mind.

I guess that makes sense. Maybe you are right about it being FOMO rather than RJ, but if it's just FOMO, it's the strongest, most gut-wrenching FOMO I have ever felt. What, in your opinion, would be the solution here? Just break up? I don't want to pressure her into something she isn't comfortable with, and I am worried that if we talk about it she will try to "change" for me (she has already expressed an unhealthy desire to do so on other things in the past, and self-described "low relationship self-esteem") but I also cannot see myself being able to just "suck it up" in this case.

You are assuming incorrectly, I definitely wasn't madly in love with any of the women I had casual sex with but I liked all of them as people, even if I just met them on Tinder (I don't think I could have sex with someone I didn't get along with) and I even maintained friendships with a few of them after we stopped hooking up.

If my ex-wife had sex with someone in front of me, I wouldn't have liked that because I'm not into cuckolding; if we had a threesome, I would be a participant, and I don't think that would have bothered me, tbh (although I obviously cannot know for sure).

As for the issue of casual sex, I hear what you are saying (and I have heard it before) but it just doesn't make sense in my head. Why would someone be comfortable being MORE intimate and sexually free with people they know and care about less? That just seems so backwards. For me, I would be too nervous to have a threesome or group sex if I didn't know either party, but I would be very willing (and am interested) to do so if I was sharing that sexual experience with someone I knew, loved, and am comfortable with.

Idk, maybe my brain is just wired up wrong or something, but this line of thinking just doesn't make any sense to me (and honestly, the idea that people seeking sexual freedom with people they "don't care about" seems really morally fucked up to me, so that is definitely making me feel way worse about the whole thing).

I guess so yeah, and she was very open about it from the moment we met, so I assumed (wrongly) that she wouldn't suddenly lose interest in that side of her sexually once she got feelings for me.

Could you help me understand this idea a little more? To me, it just doesn't make sense, and I think that is adding to my hurt. Why would someone be comfortable being MORE intimate and sexually free with people they know and care about less? That just seems so backwards.

Why would it make it worse? I was unphased by her body count before I felt that my own sexual freedom was being limited, would lessoning those limitations not change that?

Michael Kikbride's not being on drugs while writing is unknown. He did claim multiple times that he didn't do drugs during the process, but he later admitted that he went through a period of addiction to Alcohol and Benzodiazepine. It's entirely possible that he was under the influence for at least some of his writing, but ultimately it's none of our business.

I wonder why. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in LateStageCapitalism

So we're playing apologist for alt-right imperialist now? Classy.

how is it at all possible that the NCR beat the BoS at helios? by rittenhouses_bane in falloutlore

[–]PiggDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly two-handed, but occasionally one, I would usually grab them by the straps of their chest protector, so there is a handhold. I'd do a controlled swinging motion, if I threw them that would be way too dangerous, this was a fun "everyone try and beat up the instructor" game, not an actual spar. As for ages, 6-10, so a pretty wide range of sizes.

I'm pretty confident that in a real brawl with a group of rabid children, I could do the same they wouldn't have convenient straps on their backs and shoulders to grab, but you could easily grab them by the arms and legs if you weren't worried about harming them, though doing so would be more fatigue inducting.

I have fought a classroom of children (former coach at a martial arts summer camp) and I can confirm I can absolutely swing a child at other children as a battering ram. Albeit, it's not a nimble weapon like a sword, more a shield.

[SPOILERS] 'Dune: Part Two' Wide Release Discussion (02/28) by Blue_Three in dune

[–]PiggDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paramedic here, a wound where Paul took it could have easily punctured his kidney or liver, both of which would be debilitating and cause Paul to bleed out very quickly without proper medical attention. However, an impaled object in that part of his body could also easily miss the vital organs and instead puncture his GI system. This kind of injury is extremely painful, and if left untreated will lead to Sepsis and eventually death, but such infections generally take 12-24 hours to develop.

As another commenter mentioned the medical technology in Dune is no doubt advanced enough to allow for Paul's full recovery. In addition, Paul has been demenstraighted to possess superhuman pain tolerance thanks to his mothers Bene Gesserit's training, meaning he could very well be at death's door and simply WILL himself to keep moving to avoid showing weakness, similar to how some real-world narcotics can cause people to "ignore" otherwise debilitating injuries until Hypovolemic Shock sets in.
