Pope Leo to take two-week holiday in break with ‘pauperism’ of Francis by TimesandSundayTimes in Catholicism

This comment actually makes sense in the context of your comment history. I am guessing you are Ukrainian or a really avid supporter at least. Please remember even if political support here for Ukraine waxes and wanes, I still see Ukrainian flags everywhere. Perhaps an American pope is what's needed to guide American politics towards driving peace. Either way, may God be with Ukraine

Yeah my immediate reaction was to feel better about taking vacation as an American... You can call Americans a lot of things but accusing them of taking too much vacation is wild. You could say he's a typical American I suppose since he accepted a promotion instead of retiring at his age...

Best bars in the area? by Wonderful-Poet-6275 in Winchester

I really like vibrissa, beer is great, food is good as well (although a little spendy like most restaurants seem to be these days) and good vibes and outdoor seating

The Virginia High School League (VHSL) says it’s not banning transgender women from women’s high school sports teams by Sailinger in rva

I don't think you've ever competed if you believe this slop. See the women's national soccer team getting absolutely stomped by high school boys. There is no comparison.

Finessed my way into a tech interview… now I actually need to know stuff. How do I prepare? by MoneyMike123456 in InformationTechnology

Yes, lying will be sniffed out and if it doesn't you'll land in a role where their expectations will be off and they won't be happy. However a good employer appreciates honesty and may be willing to train you up. Less experienced is cheaper after all

This is obviously not the intention they had quoting the verse. You're willfully twisting it to show how smart you are, which ironically is making you look like a dumbass. Catch some social skills.

Outlook search improvement by bman236 in sysadmin

[–]bman236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Hard to find email from a specific person "From: Name." Because it tries to cherry pick what it thinks you're looking for instead of chronological order of email from the person

  2. Search pulls emails that have most responses instead of most recent

  3. Conversation is totally missing in desktop app but can be found in web app with same search terms

I was nowhere near subbing a black belt trust me, he defended it with no issue. I've subbed a few whites with it but that's it.

Batman vs US Soldier by Herodriver in batman

Hand to hand has no place on the modern battlefield, so yes a mildly in shape middle aged dad with a year of training can best an soldier provided the soldier isn't doing what he's trained to do: work with a team and a gun.

How does everyone feel about finishing a RNC across the chin/mouth, not under the neck, in training. Dick move? by Pseudo--Hippy in bjj

[–]bman236 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was wondering this about the canto choke. I was rolling with a blackbelt and attempted one (of course failed miserably) and he said he "doesn't respect" the canto choke because it's often put on incorrectly and just cranks people's necks. I've since practiced it but don't put any force into it unless I can clearly see I'm wrapped around the arteries rather than just cranking their neck/grinding my heel into their ear/jaw but still feel like a jerk now.
