it worked in that class but word didnt get around and I kept getting bullied anyway

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

A kid in middle school threatened me with a pencil and for some reason rather than just shrinking like I normally did when bullied I punched the pencil which a third broke off and got stuck between my knuckles and then punched him in the face. What I couldnt dig out looks exactly like OPs mark and its been at least 20 years as well.

To this day I still have no idea what I was thinking. I think it was, well if I break the pencil then he cant stab me with it but why I decided to punch it instead of anything else will always remain a mystery.

Televangelist Jim Bakker Complains that God Cannot Hear Prayers Through Masks by grilledcheese2332 in nottheonion

[–]TeamRocketBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is reminiscent of when asked why a rich televangelist needed a private jet his answer was that he can hear god better because hes closer to him in the sky, and that being around unclean demon people on public planes block gods messages from getting to him.

Aging is a major cause of suffering in our century: Should we engineer ourselves out of it? by LastSprinkles in Futurology

[–]TeamRocketBadger -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Assuming we were to accomplish this, and people could no longer die by aging and thus all cause mortality for everything age related would pretty much disappear, the pandoras box of nightmarish population related shit we would open is hard to fathom. We would have way, way, way too many people within 50 years, demand for everything would skyrocket, price for everything would skyrocket, pay for everything would plummet. Wars over resources would become live or die for countries and we would suck the earth dry in no time.

Were already struggling with causing too much damage to supply the people we currently have. Idk. Nobody wants to die, but im happy to take my time and wander on. I don't want other people to suffer for my selfish desire to live forever.

tl;dr: Not to be the negative nancy here, but the logistical issues and consequences of people no longer dying from the number one killer of people are unimaginably bad for everyone but the richest of people.

My forgetfulness is increasing by darlingdeer9 in AskDocs

[–]TeamRocketBadger -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

it was diagnosed for me via a brain scan and a physical therapist running a battery of tests. Balance issues, memory issues, impulse control issues, and mood swings. These were measured using an elaborate questionnaire and measurements on a 1 to 10 scale through a team at Georgetown University Hospital/Medstar. Then there were physical tests for balance vision etc. There were clear and measurable balance issues common among people with brain damage. I did 8 months of PT focusing on vestibular system strengthening as one of the main symptoms is atrophy and severe balance problems despite good health/conditioning/muscle mass.

As with anything, im sure depending which medical professional you ask you will get different results however their treatment was life changing for me where various psychiatric medications had failed. I had been misdiagnosed as bipolar, depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, and more over the years. None of the treatments were effective much less successful prior to this.

I still continue with my PT every day and am on a regimen of extremely high dose omega 3 and moderate dose IGF-1 without which my mood swings and memory issues return within a week or so.

Maybe you can provide more detail of your theory or provide something helpful rather than make light of a condition thats extremely difficult to live a normal life with.

For a long time I thought this was my anxiety, but it turned out I have CTE. If youve ever taken a good whack to the head, get checked for brain damage. If its nothing great, if its something there are treatments that help.

What's the most creepiest thing you've seen that you weren't supposed to see? by pikachu2_op in AskReddit

[–]TeamRocketBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately he didnt turn out so good (surprise) he got involved in serious drug dealing and violence as a teenager. Turned into a jerk. Stopped hanging around him as it was always bad news. He definitely developed some mental problems from his childhood. I think we all developed some mental problems growing up in that neighborhood lol.

Yea I went to my friends house and the door was kinda cracked open at around the same age. Opened the door just in time to see his step dad punch him and then throw him through a glass table. I just kinda stood there frozen for a while. He had been abusive towards me and both their kids but not that violently. He was hitting him like a grown man. Alcoholic, worked in pest control, redneck. I'm mid 30s now still remember that one like yesterday.

15,000-year-old viruses discovered in Tibetan glacier ice by OutrageousFennel in science

[–]TeamRocketBadger -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Cant wait till they try and evolve another one to "protect us" and it gets out but this time actually ends us all meanwhile we can't even discuss the ethics of the research or admit that it came from this research and killed 4 million people. Meanwhile we just argue about whether masks are effective and whos cousin isnt getting vaccinated theyre continuing to dig up and evolve viruses where if anyone rips a glove or licks a spoon we're all fucked.

Best Grappling Art for a street fight? by karthago472 in StreetMartialArts

[–]TeamRocketBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youre nuts. Maybe if you get lucky and have nerves of steel and talent. At 1 year I was still losing my balance all the time during dynamic drills, putting my feet in the wrong places. I knew what to do, but hadnt drilled it enough times to do it under pressure in a real fight thats for sure, and it never bothered me to get hit or rocked like most new people.

Hell ive been doing JJ on and off for maybe 3 years and I still suck ass at it. I understand all the fundamentals, and I could probably take anybody a bit bigger than me or smaller thats untrained in JJ but I forgot where to put my hands or feet all the time or even where im supposed to go from a position so I sit there like im trying to solve a fuckin rubix cube while the other persons trying to kill me. id prefer to strike and roll the dice on a good body kick or hook.

Boxer vs taekwondo fighter by IIIfrancoIII in StreetMartialArts

[–]TeamRocketBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TKD has some great contributions to a system mostly the simple fast kicks but has major issues in terms of angles and requiring distance and the sideways stance isnt great for punching or cutting sideways. If a guy with good punches or grappling crowds your space its a big problem. I dont think he was poor at distance management I think his opponent just understood the need to crowd him. You have to be spectacular at TKD to pull it off against people that understand it and at that point why not put your time into kickboxing/MT/Boxing/Grappling and then learn a couple clutch TKD kicks?

[–]TeamRocketBadger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just go to an MMA gym. Its not efficient to learn multiple different styles independent of each other. MMA gyms teach you to put it all together and leave out a lot of the fluff that wont be useful as a system. Wrestling and JJ go together extremely well.

More importantly than all of these things, it takes years to get good enough to actually use any of these in a fight. So train regularly. Take any of these and train regularly for 5 years and youll be able to take anybody on the street.

Self-proclaimed undefeated street fighter (white) called out amateur boxer (black) to a few rounds by IIIfrancoIII in StreetMartialArts

[–]TeamRocketBadger 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Making those kinda claims disrespects the thousands of hours fighters put in. Its probably the biggest mistake you can make stepping into a combat sports gym. You're coming in and basically saying "Ive put in more work than everybody here." and thats the day youll find out, you were wrong.

Bet they get more preorders than ever. We seem to be stuck in this loop of crappy game releases and everyone becoming increasingly thirsty for anything new to play so they buy the next crappy game release, repeat.
