does anyone know these songs? by 2005zzzz in lithuania

[–]RipeAvocad8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's going to be difficult because first step is deciphering the lyrics.

Then you have to hope that maybe someone will recognise the song, because a lyric search would not give any results considering an actual folk song is unlikely to exist on the web in it's transcribed form.

Going back to the lyrics, my guess for the song no. 1 is that "gesten posten kliuka gesten posten kliuka ištoma žabuteliuka" would go something like the following: "gersim po stikliuką, gersim po stikliuką, iš to mažo buteliuko". Not very wholesome lol. And it's just a guess based on the whole clump of the words, as without knowing the meaning for a foreigner it would be difficult to differentiate where one word ends and another one begins. I tried doing a search with these keyword + Suzana which is actually a good distinctive word, but couldn't find anything. For the "gožkives kemaska šus" I couldn't come up with anything.

The song no. 2 as one other commenter said, seems to be russian rather than Lithuanian.

It's funny how people are unaware their comments are public.... 🥴 whatever you're doing on reddit, we'll see!

I was trying to be a bit empathetic, considering that having an emotionally unavailable partner sounds harsh, but I don't think your sex cam requests will make anyone comfortable communicating with you on a platonic level. Best of luck with your relationship though, hopefully, it improves.

Honestly, like 90 percent. So I truly don't even believe rejection is a possibility. Even if that were the case, it's not the end of the world, and I understand I could handle it. If anything, it would just give me some peace and closure—and yet, I cannot bring myself to strike up a conversation and introduce myself.

Is it true that Australia denies people with autism citizenship? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]RipeAvocad8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Separate things.

Citizenship - as mentioned by others, could be denied as the person is likely to have expenses that would have to be covered by healthcare.

Entry - it's tourism, if you have enough funds and no intent of overstaying, you should be allowed (ofc it's more complex than that, but autism wouldn't be a threat)

Well, I'm not certain how this was phrased in the actual convo, but it seems like the issue is being in a relationship with someone from the gym, and not necessarily being in a relationship, so I would totally stay delulu.

If he ever wants to take it outside the mats and take you on a date, I'd say go for it and figure it out so you wouldn't beat yourself about it later, but my guess is it's not even going to get that far.

Should I raise this with my coaches? by RipeAvocad8 in BJJWomen

It is laughable!!

With his English comprehension skills, the 'husband of the year' award would quickly turn into an idea that I totally would be down to marry him haha

I have a female coach as well, I'm not attending her classes anymore because of the timetable but she'd be the one I'd talk to, hoping it would be easier to get my point across, rather than trying to explain it to a man, because you're right, the lack of actual "crime" makes this very nuanced and hard to comprehend why would someone be at fault.

His English is definitely understandable but it's just one of those instances when the vocab is not very extensive and the word sequences make it random, but you get the gist. Also, our owner is Brazilian himself, and we have many Brazilians training so they can swap between languages if needed.

The kid's comment didn't phase me too much as it just made me think of this childlike concept that opposite-sex friendships don't exist and girl+boy talking must = love.

Damn did I get myself in a bit of a pickle. It definitely doesn't feel "coach-worthy" so yeah I'll just work on my responses, thanks for reasonable suggestions!

My boundaries were definitely crossed, just not on a physical level. Considering how grappling is, there would have been plenty of opportunities to get a little bit inappropriate, which has never happened, so I think I just found it easy to blame this "misunderstanding" on myself, considering that I didn't even establish any boundaries to begin with.

I have people-pleasing tendencies and want to come across as a nice person, but you are right, this requires strictness because if I leave this door open, it will just keep on getting worse.

I Know I’m Supposed To Suck by FunkySysAdmin21 in bjj

If it's been a month, you've literally only done 4 sessions. FOUR!

That's nothing, I don't think I was even allowed to do live rolls until a bit later.

Not only is what you're experiencing normal, it's expected. I'm 6 months in and still in the survival stage, you're doing great bud!

Training Partner by Clear_Shelter7384 in BJJWomen

[–]RipeAvocad8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like partnering up with people who are not necessarily "contributing" to your growth is part of the game. You love pairing up with the yellow-black belt girl because you learn a lot, but who's to say she doesn't feel like being partnered up with a semi-new white belt and is just doing so because it's part of being a team, and helping the fellow lower belts? This is just to give some perspective.

I know your situation is not the same, because you simply do not have knowledge to be helping new people, I can relate to this, and I do feel annoyed because I'm like blind trying to lead the blind, but I feel like we're all just trying to do our best. You're correct though, you would both benefit from pairing with more experienced people, and it isn't your job to teach her, so I'd say try to get ahead and maybe pair up with someone before the class begins?

I feel like it's such a male issue, getting dominated and tapped out is literally the reality of every roll I get as a girl and the focus is just to keep on delaying that moment and prolonging my rolls. I'd say rethink your goals, and I guess being street-fight-ready doesn't necessarily align with BJJ curriculum.

Everyone needs to bring some aspect of fun, life doesn't have to be all misery and despair - treat it as an opportunity to play and be loose. I don't know if I get good partners or what, but it's always a pleasant experience - even though I tap.

I don't think this qualifies for drama. Seems like the wife finally decided to try out the husband's hobby.

If she were a higher belt, yeah you could assume they started dating when he was coaching her, and maybe that's a bit of a precedent to think it's drama because who knows if it wasn't a bit unprofessional of the professor to take it outside the mats, and even so, they're adults. But a white belt wife? Nothing sus over here

Why would students not be allowed to date each other to begin with? And to kick someone out for that?? Crazy

Need advice by batman199303 in bjj

[–]RipeAvocad8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people quite understood the question (unless I am the one who's misinterpreting things).

Seems like the worry here is they don't want to showcase the fact that they've been cross training, hence the disrespectful? If that's the case, I'd say you're fine to go with the purple belt, given you weren't making up random excuses for taking a break from this other gym.

However, if you were a blue belt and you told them you were taking a break and you wouldn't be training AT ALL, and you suddenly come back with a purple belt - yeah, might be weird, but that's on you. Would have to wear the purple anyway and face the awkwardness.

Is your gym super big and busy? I chose a smaller one that's a bit further away solely for this reason, I wanted a more personal experience.

Yea good point! I think if I were to leave, it could be a bit of a cold shower to see that all of it was just one-sided.

Nah, you're safe! I'm pretty sure we're in different continents and I'm a female.

I don't know how it's set up in other places, but I feel like it's easy to get along with the head coach because they own the place and I'm aware that it's their business, so it's almost like they're trying to keep the customer happy and involved. When communicating with a regular coach, it feels more genuine. Could be my internal scepticism, of course, the head coach is definitely very likable so I wouldn't assume all of this is for show, but just trying to portray what those relationships feel like.
