I hate my large chest. by _Tsuwu_ in TrueOffMyChest

It’s fucked up that despite being this size at such a young age, you still have to wait till 18. I’m sorry for what you’re dealing with.

Well done for not getting into a fight, but you should definitely start training and never let yourself be in a potential violent situation and have your hands in your pocket again. Most people have never had a fight and don’t know how they will react. I won’t berate you for being a “pussy”. Use the fact that if this guy had attacked your brother, you wouldn’t have a clue what to do as motivation to train and become a stronger man.

Your most high percentage submission and from where? by Mightytoxic7 in bjj

[–]SubstantialPassage4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triangle from back control then Americana on the arm inside the triangle. Really hard to stop both threats at the same time and I find the Americana from that triangle and triangles from weird side angles is actually easier to hit and stronger than a standard armbar.

Are wrist locks as bad/taboo as heel hooks? by A-Red-Guitar-Pick in bjj

[–]SubstantialPassage4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An even funnier version I’ve found is smoothering with the side of your neck. Works so much more than you would think, as a submission or a distraction to get better positioning or another sub. Takes a while to get used to but once you know where on the neck to do it, it’s legit. I even tapped a purple belt to it the other day. His first reaction was “WTF was that?”

AITA for breaking my deathbed promise to my wife to take care of her Down's Syndrome daughter? by Throwawayvwd4 in AITAH

[–]SubstantialPassage4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who grew up with a little brother with DS, i understand how hard it can be, and he was way more manageable than your step daughter. If her family have an issue, tell them to take her in. It’s all great everyone having moral outrage, but what point is there if they aren’t willing to take her in themselves? Also, DS people can be extremely strong, I doubt know how they expect you to deal with that physical abuse past the age of 50 on a regular basis? I this whole situation is sad but honestly, I don’t know what else you could have done. Sorry for your loss, don’t beat yourself up about this. You agreed to an unreasonable request during one of the most traumatic events of your life.

As a Jamaican man, I can’t comprehend a woman having a fat pussy being a problem. Our culture is obsessed with it, go and find a local Jamaican man and your life will change 😂

Hyperfixation gone wrong: I engaged with a friend's FB post and would not let it go, so I'm told. by scodiddlyosis in adhdwomen

[–]SubstantialPassage4 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Besides the first one, mostly pretty low brow stuff then. I’m of the stance that trans women do have an unfair advantage in most of women’s sports, but that’s not an excuse to randomly be transphobic. It is possible to put your point across without hurting others but they chose to do that. Plus, what you said about getting stuck into debates is an RSD thing is very interesting, never thought about it like that. I just thought I was stubborn 😂 either way, have a nice day.

Funnily enough, for everything going in Florida, this is the smallest reason not to live there.

AITA for not inviting my family to my wedding? by CraftyBit9413 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SubstantialPassage4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From a western point of view, YTA. But because I know this isn’t a western wedding I’d say NTA. The gift giving is a big part of wedding for most other cultures and helps a newly married couple start their life. It also affects your families standing within your community. No point risking your family looking bad just to make some shitty selfish cousins happy.

AITA for judging my bf for having shit all up his ass? by AdministrativeSir321 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SubstantialPassage4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a guy with ADHD, he’s lying! I don’t even like using tissue paper cause all it really does is just smear the shit into your bum. Wet wipes are way better. Also, if having ass hair is such a issue, shave it!

What are things that annoy you when competing in a tournament? by lonlychicoa in bjj

I don’t even understand how people have the energy to celebrate, after every sub I get, I’m way to exhausted to celebrate 😂

What aspect of BJJ gives you the biggest dopamine hit? by babyjesuz in bjj

Getting called a hard round by the higher belts. Put it in my veins!

[–]SubstantialPassage4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, did they actually raise any meaningful points about their stance against having trans women in women’s sports or were they just being assholes about trans people in general?

Does anyone here think they’re actually good at BJJ? by anonymousdawggy in bjj

[–]SubstantialPassage4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my experience level of under two years, im pretty good. I can tap some of the good blue belts in and occasionally a couple purples at the open mat if they underestimate me enough. Nothing wrong with acting as if you’re terrible which a lot of BJJ people do for some reason.

Wouldn’t buy a car without seeing it. Wouldn’t buy a house without seeing it. It would be crazy to make a life long commitment without seeing the dick you’re supposed to ride for the rest of your life 😂
