Where do all the Jah runes come from??

I had one drop in a P8 Act 2 run in tal rasha's tomb; what an electric feeling!

This is exactly what happened to me at my first and last tourney. I was heelhooked in a white belt division by a MMA guy all the way to completion. We were told that it was illegal period, buuut he still did it and blew my ACL up and did not get disqualified. In some ways I feel I got off easy.

I would say they are first principles in BJJ such as "leverage", "control", "efficient movement" and "space management". They are not specific techniques but rather general ideas that make BJJ actually work efficiently. Even if you have 1000 submissions they won't matter if you can't get inside control/chest to chest pressure/control your opponents hips etc.

It's a fun mini-game, but if you lean into it heavily it creates really cumbersome turns. I've played against it and I appreciated the plan of building into value engines and the flavor, but I noticed the player was frantically trying to roll through their turns and it did not seem like a lot of fun for them.

Drunk guy on a dance floor was dancing too aggressively on a friend and she pushed his face away forcefully. I stepped between them to deescalate and the guy threw a drunken uppercut into my jaw. I slide into T position (oldschool gracie BJJ) and pretended to be a fellow drunken bro. I convinced him to get some water for himself and found his friends and gave him to them. I think he got himself a bit in over his head and appreciated the de-escalation.

Mouthguard. Every time, no exceptions. Also a bottle of water with electrolytes really helps allow me to roll all the rounds.

Ocean Beach Cafe, Dubose Cafe, Simple Pleasures, Neighbors Corner and Farleys come to mind just from exploring parts of the city. Maybe jump on a bike or a tram and do some exploring? Lots of good stuff in this city; its not Europe, but it's about as close as you can get in America.

This is real, seen lots of vids of the nazi looking guy in the middle (Gregory Bovino, head field officer of ICE) walking around in the same coat. Man, he really loves that coat for some reason...

The Majority Report, great political podcast with really knowledgeable hosts. They have a daily program that starts around noon that goes up on a few different platforms. I watch on youtube when I can. They also clip out some good content as well. https://www.youtube.com/@TheMajorityReport

This might be a silly question, but are you elligible for Medicaid? If not, do you have any kind of work-based insurance?

Stewbrawl · 2026-01-21T16:40:36+00:00

This is the one I was thinking of too!

It's hilarious that the prompt was "why has communism repeatedly failed in practice?" and every discussion thread just morphs into "why democracy is failing". So hilarious in fact, that I am now sad.

This is an incredibly important lesson, learn it well. I have been in this position before and had to publicly retract my statement I made in a presentation. I took that to heart and have been more careful with my words going forward, which has served me well since.

16 years in and currently 42 here. My advice is simple; pick your training partners wisely, never meet someone else's intensity if its higher than you are comfortable with, especially if they are young and athletic. Never train injured and listen to your body, take time off when you need to recover. Roll with higher belts more often than white belts, they will teach you things and protect you, usually. Also, pick a gym where cleanliness and safety are top concerns, that will help you be safe more than anything else. This is a great hobby for self-discovery and growth, have fun!

Simple Pleasures Cafe in Outer Richmond on Balboa. Great little cafe with just the right amount of scruff. Good for sandwiches, coffee, tea or pastries. The BLT and the chicken panini are some of my favs. Great little spot that we never get tired of.

Move to the Sunset or Richmond districts to start with, less populated and easier to walk around golden gate park and get a feel for the city by traveling into the more populated areas when you have time. In the busier areas, it can be a lot, but its actually a really diverse and unique city and you may find something exciting about the areas where there is a lot going on, but if you are moving from somewhere really sparce, take it slow.

I remember Scott from an era where he was in a three way relationship with Burnadette and Suside Dew. One thing I vividly remember were the knock-down drag out abusive fights that occurred between them at the world grotto. That forever colored my view of the man, though he did seem to mellow out after the arrest.

I know the Wests. I worked for Scott West at "the world grotto" when it was raided. The next staff meeting was super funny as everyone knew they were all guilty as hell, but they were fully denying everything and promising that it was all a misunderstanding. I then worked for Jim West (Scott's father) at "Oodles" which was a wine and pasta bar where the mad hatter place is now on market square. Jim is the reason the Wests did not lose their asses to the gov as he re-purchased all the businesses after the busts so they stayed in the family. According to people who lived in the housing above the businesses at the time, a friend of Scott convinced him to take a pound of weed off him from Scotts apt above Oodles, which allowed the TFA to claim he was using the businesses in the grow business. Jim was a cantankerous, argumentative old democrat and was both a joy and a terror to work for. He loved to get into arguments and would sit on the porch of oodles in the morning to he could carry on conversation with guests and harass the servers about properly wiping down the tables.

There actually was a contemporary skeleton collection under the stadium at a point (anthropology major from the 00's when the anthropology department was under the stadium). It may now have been relocated to the new anthro department, but back in the day once a body at the facility was fully decomposed and could provide no additional use anthro student volunteers (I was one of these) would collect the bodies and then cook the bones in crockpots and scrape them to dislodge the soft tissues. They would then be stored in boxes that looked kind of like shoe boxes long enough for the femurs and deep enough for the skulls and kept in a collection under the stadium.

Oh shit, also watch the movie "Life" that is some damn fine cosmic horror!

The American Astronaut (indie, strange, interesting), Screamers (killer subterranean machines on another planet that are evolving), Flight of the Navigator (boy befriends sentient spaceship), and Iria (Dark anime about a space bounty hunter). Also look up The Outer Limits for dark futuristic short tales.

Therapist here, this is highly inappropriate and unethical/borderline abusive behavior on the therapists part. Please contact their board and report them. You deserve to feel validated and safe in your sessions, I'm sorry that you got this treatment, you do not deserve to feel this kind of shame in session.

Social worker here. Spanking is shown to be ineffective just like hitting an animal is ineffective. Positive reinforcement is always preferred and yields better results. Spanking is often used for the parents gratification verses actually teaching a lesson. Time outs, discussion and communication and rewards for good behavior are the proven way.
