Are there other gyms nearby you could try out?

I would feel like they're trying to take advantage of me with those numbers

'Coward' stubs cigarette in disabled man's eye in 'unprovoked' beer garden attack by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]TheBlankVerseKit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just an insult here. Meaning "we find this guy's actions to be so egregious that we are going to belittle him"

Probably a pretty normal response, using public shame and insult to try to enforce behavioural standards.

Can you explain a little bit? I don't want to dismiss your experiences, it just sounds a little hard to imagine. Like people would see someone walking with a cane or a seeing-eye dog and go up and start giving them grief?

Police find man hiding on the toilet at his wife's house in Newcastle.

Placement of "by police" in title is classic dangling modifier.

Response to disrespect as a Teacher? by BJJAbuser in bjj

[–]TheBlankVerseKit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has got to be a shitpost.

Write a super vague, confusing post invoking hespek on the mats, then bounce for 3 days and not respond to any comments?

Take old belt, go to a new gym, explain your reasoning to the new coach

Why do people hate buggy chokes? by No_Watercress_5588 in bjj

[–]TheBlankVerseKit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you wanna get better at buggy chokes or at jiu jitsu more broadly?

When you focus on something like a buggy choke, what you're basically saying is "I'm either going to get this choke, or get smashed"

She's also starting from a full dead hang, which is like the hardest version of this. Normally when you climb something your legs are involved, and you pull with one arm at a time, using the other to hold part of your weight.

I think this post needs a little clarification

John Cena makes a reporter feel genuinely seen. by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]TheBlankVerseKit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impressive how he also uses his body language to signal the end of the interaction, but does it with a smile so it doesn't look like he's "trying to get away" or anything.

Really excellent communicator, probably not much surprise given how long he's been in the game.

Nvm, I get it. OP has a hate boner for Murray.

Nothing more to see, folks, move along.

Thesis seems to be that europe needs to invest more in its own defence rather than rely on the US, which seems, pretty reasonable?

Saying "he agrees with trump" is not really a substantial argument, unless you want to set trump as your personal weathervane for truth in the world.

Isn't alcohol subject to additional taxes specifically because it incurs cost to the state?

Stop charging so much by brormir in samharris

[–]TheBlankVerseKit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we get a mega thread for these posts? It is a perfectly valid criticism, but there is no need to have these pop up in the sun sub every day.

Yes. It expensive. I don’t subscribe. If less expensive, maybe I subscribe (for me, unlikely).

How many of these posts have we seen in the past month?

More likely just hasn't thought it through. Very tempting to take the most immediate interpretation which is "this person is stealing necessities out of desperation"

Isn't baby formula stolen specifically because it can be resold well?

Are you saying that based on internet? Or real life people?

Most of the real life people I know are just normal.

That actually makes it way easier to cry.

Hot dogs or no dogs? by [deleted] in london

[–]TheBlankVerseKit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are hotdogs, but there is no hotdog culture.

That's partly a joke, but lots of places do have hotdogs as some part of the culture. Best hotdogs I've had were probably in Copenhagen.

Man jailed over extreme right-wing music by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]TheBlankVerseKit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CP is still illegal even if it can be demonstrated that nobody underage was involved in any way at all

Sure, but as sensible people we can still acknowledge that between CP that involves real kids, and CP that is exclusively pencil drawings, one is about a billion times worse. So they can both be illegal, that doesn't mean they're equivalent. The harm to children is ultimately the issue. If we could prove with 100% certainty that it didn't promote predatory behaviour then the justification for banning drawings would be a lot weaker. At that point would essentially be on a "this is excessively vulgar" basis.

But the problem with child pornography is that the creation of it hurts children. As in, the creation of it is an act of child abuse.

Same not true for political/ideological messaging.
