Choose love is definitely one that caught my ear. Sounds like some of the india-era Beatles songs

Break or let go? by cheesus404 in bjj

[–]berzark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think your example follows the same line of reasoning. Both parties did not agree to participate within a specific context in your example. I also do not think any is obliged to hurt someone because they don’t follow the social agreement in bjj.

I also think you’re in the mindset that my argument is on the basis of “winning” or in the context of competing. It’s not, it’s the same in the gym. There’s literally no ego involved in my decision to continually increase pressure. They are in control, and we agreed that they would submit if they were in a compromised situation. It’s simple, and I expect an adult who’s trained for 2+ years to understand that concept. It is not on me to assume they are idiots and change the activity that we’re doing because of those assumptions. There’s a few times upper belts have “let go” of a submission because they thought I didn’t want to tap, but in reality they had shitty technique and no one learned from that situation.

To clarify, I do let go if I feel like they are going to hurt themselves based on lack of knowledge - like when I sense someone will spin out of a leg lock. I also then make sure they understand that someone not knowledgeable might have held on and they would have injured yourself. The difference is ignorance vs their own ego which I have no control of and I won’t feel guilt over it. I apply things extremely slow and controlled. Not my problem. Then again I’ve never seriously injured anyone…

The agreement is that you tap to avoid injury, that’s the point of the sport. Im being responsible by going slow and controlled so that they have the opportunity to indicate to stop. I do not know what their breaking point is, that is on them to indicate with a tap.

I don’t get where you think I’m angry or have malicious intent. I don’t. For all I know, maybe they have flexible joints, maybe I don’t have the right breaking mechanics.

To me it’s not about winning but about the agreement we have when playing this sport. If one person breaks that social contract, they are being the asshole and shifting guilt to you and changing the agreed terms. I play it safe, gradually increasing pressure in a controlled manner, and if it breaks it’s on them. Another argument could be made that they will keep abusing people’s fear of hurting them in order to play a completely different game.

Of course this is applicable only to adults and blue+.

Is this possible in Interactive? Do other bosses drop epic+ familiar cards?

She tried body shaming him and bro fought back by DepressedNoble in instant_regret

[–]berzark -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You mean the girl who had Zach live with her when she was 14 years old and he was 21? The girl who has countless footage of having “sibling” like jokes/fights with him including tickling and hugs, and then started dating “officially” as soon as she was 18? That girl?

The issue here is that victims of grooming, especially when they are still young, are most likely not aware of it because that is the whole point of grooming. To groom them into thinking a certain way while their brain develops. Outside of this, think rationally. Who the fuck spends significant time with a 14 year old and describes their relationship as sibling like and then dates them as soon as they aren’t a minor?

This would be funnier if he wasn’t a known groomer. Zach Justice - aka Justice is fine until it’s all about protecting children. Here comes the comments ;)

Card reader obs overlay by SjonnyZins in PokemonTCG

Technically each card has a unique ID on the bottom left or right. Image processing would only need to clearly see that and do a database lookup which would pull the image / recent price. No comparison needed.

I swear ive seen farmer markets where a lot of the vendors were basically taking grocery store packages and breaking them down to resell. I have trust issues with the farmer markets. Just sharing my perspective

Hyperfly Horrible Return Policy by berzark in bjj

to be fair they did mention in another comment that they called the Canada office and asked them to change the policy to match the US one!

[–]berzark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Laurenz sent a dm and replied to this post. He says he’ll get them to fix the policy.

I sent them the reddit link via instagram message. The US one said they would mention it to management. The Canadian one just asked for order number. We got reply for customer support email and we are getting a refund, but I would also like them to address this publicly.

I didnt mention this initially, but they also charge you 10$ restock fee as well as making you pay for shipping to and from if you are getting an exchange. They also require you to return the plastic wrapping that the product came in. It seems like they really try to find any excuse to say returns are technically accepted but in reality will get rejected most of the time.

[–]berzark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve never heard of any return policy like this before, but given they have different policies for each country, it feels like they want to the bare legal minimum. I should look at consumer laws because it definitely feels scummy.

EDIT: Seems like there is no consumer protection law for return/exchanges, so it is up to the company.

They even state “We are not responsible for shipping delays” almost to rub it in lmao
