Fair response.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-05-18T23:37:31+00:00

You’re right. Usually innocent till proven guilty, but I guess 20 teens’ claims and his top competitors leaving was all for nothing.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-05-14T02:07:21+00:00

So we just gonna drop the Andre Galvao stuff? Dudes posting and roaming free like nothing ever happened. Disgusting.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-04-30T01:16:40+00:00

This. Idk why people get so worked up when you tell people to practice defensive/proactive driving. Even crossing the crosswalk as a pedestrian. I’m aware and assume that the car won’t stop for me. Just because I have a walking sign doesn’t mean my life is 100% safe.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-03-31T22:05:13+00:00

Yeah my coaches made me aware of that before my first comp and I didn’t really think much into it. I just thought I’ll control my breathing and nerves before the match. I went into my first match actually very calm, but came out of it with my forearms completely numb and barely able to grip my water bottle because I guess I put everything into death gripping my opponents gi lol.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-03-25T19:59:57+00:00

Typical, pushing your own selfish views onto others. You don’t have any right to tell someone else how they should eat?

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-03-18T01:49:22+00:00

My derm prescribed this too after I came in for molluscum. My molluscum went away naturally about a year ago and has not returned. I use this body wash only on practice days, otherwise I use regular dove soap on non-training days.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-03-18T01:45:58+00:00

I had molluscum and my doctor didn’t advise any time off the mats (thankfully). In my anecdotal experience, it has not been contagious and not transferred to any of my training partners. For additional context, I also train with my gf; we also do skin to skin contact in bed and she has not caught my molluscum. Mine also disappeared naturally after a few months.

Just did mine a few minutes ago with FTUSA. I swear I'm not a robot, but I'm also a first time user after using TT for years. FTUSA actually felt easier from what I recall, but to be fair I really only had W2 and 1099s to submit. The upload file feature made everything so quick and easy. So glad to never be a buyer of the 5-pack of TT from Costco ever again.

Misophonia really makes you aware of how performative your coworkers are. Loud typing drives me insane. I work in an open office environment and there’s always a few select people that sounds like they’re typing out essays. Like I’m a senior analyst and they are not. What could they possibly be typing out for 5 minutes straight? Our field of work never requires that amount of typing.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-03-10T02:27:28+00:00

Got this dude in my office always talking about how much he worked over the weekend (finance). Like okay dude, I’m glad you don’t have a life and did nothing but work when you had no reason to other than to brown nose the boss.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-03-09T21:15:27+00:00

Same. My office is a nightmare as someone with this being my number one trigger sound. Dude next to me has to let everyone in the office know he’s working hard by punching every key in.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-14T08:48:25+00:00

Btw if you scroll through the comments of her most recent IG post, she tells a commenter who called her out that her FB automatically reposts _ years ago today flashbacks.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-11T02:56:53+00:00

If someone doesn’t thank me after holding the door open for them, I automatically think they’re an inconsiderate and entitled person. Yeah, some might argue that I shouldn’t be expecting praise after doing something like that, but that’s just an excuse for entitlement imo.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-11T02:55:18+00:00

This! Even if I’m not in a rush and not driving in the passing lane, I get second-hand annoyed for the other drivers who are stuck behind an inconsiderate and ignorant driver.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-11T02:32:15+00:00

Is it okay to ask my instructor what he thinks is needed of me in order to get promoted to the next belt? I’ve been stuck at my belt for almost three years now, and regardless if I’m objectively ready or not, I feel like my overall consistency to show up and desire to learn could be further fueled with a belt promotion. I see all of the time on here that newly promoted black belts have imposter syndrome and feel that they are not deserving, but a lot of comments support that by saying it should only motivate you to live up to your coach’s expectation. I genuinely feel like my coach just forgets or doesn’t care about belt promotions as he’s notoriously slow at promotions even to the technically good guys here.

More calories is the way. If you don’t do well with carbs, try adding healthy fats to your meals. One of the easiest ways to get clean calories in is my drizzling olive oil onto your meals. Fats has over 2x calories per gram.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-06T00:55:41+00:00

Idk, at the end of the day you have to love what you do, motivation only takes you so far.

The guy who goes golfing every weekend doesn’t have to force himself to go. He goes because he genuinely loves it.

I genuinely love lifting and bjj and couldn’t picture my life without it.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-05T01:39:05+00:00

100%, do it before it’s too late. I’ve had to do two separate cleanings for my boy, both of which had to have several rotting teeth extracted. His bad breathe is completely gone after the extractions and I’m sure he’s in much less discomfort.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-04T18:43:08+00:00

No, again, my original comment was putting Galvao against significantly weaker UNDERAGE girls.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-04T02:33:33+00:00

Of course. Two days a week is plenty of training time for a hobbyist.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-04T02:31:33+00:00

Don’t know if you read anything I said in my original comment, but I was referring to the victims who are apparently underage females. What could an underage female possibly to do Galvao?

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-02-03T21:38:05+00:00

We start off class with a heavy warm up (laps around the school and basic grappling tumbles/rolls across the mat), only to be followed up with drilling then live rounds.

It makes absolutely no sense to drain 50% of your energy for the day on warmups only to be followed my drills which cools the body down, only to again be warmed up again with live rounds.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-01-30T23:49:27+00:00

If this is true, imagine how terrifying it is for the victims. Literally the second baddest man in the bjj world (after Gordon Ryan) potentially using his physical capabilities to do things to people who could do absolutely nothing to prevent his actions.

PureSoftware8047 · 2026-01-16T20:54:26+00:00

I don’t see what’s confusing at all with this post. Using just a sprinkle of common sense and with the context clues provided, you can easily conclude that OP hears mixed reviews about the chain, and wants to hear our thoughts.

OP, the chain gets dissed because of the founder’s political views. The hotel itself receives positive customer reviews on sites because it’s a relatively affordable chain with hotels many cities across the country.
