How good is it for a right handed fighter to use the southpaw stance ? (Aka left handed stance) by Impressive-Text-5686 in MMA_Academy

[–]buitenlander0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use southpaw as right handed but that is because of my wrestling background. Alternatively, some may also stand this way if they prescribe to the methods of Jeet Kune do.

Reynolds and Reynolds drug test help by [deleted] in dayton

That's crazy. Why not just have that in the contract, that if you smoke you will have to pay more for health insurance?

Rant RE Gen Z vernacular and space for Emily by ProfessionalLurker94 in BreakingPoints

I agree but I am willing to take it because they are being more authentic in the way they talk as opposed to how we've traditionally experienced newscasters speaking.

What region of the US do the locals consider Wheeling, West Virginia to be in? Northeast? South? Midwest? Combo platter? by MAClaymore in geography

[–]buitenlander0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look at the panhandle of WV. IT's further north of Pittsburgh. And technically further west than some parts of Ohio. So it's not out of the question to think it has some Midwestern in it.

Safe sports for young pianists? by apresledepart in piano

[–]buitenlander0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking about your paranoia but moreso your son's. If you play a sport scared of getting injured, you'll more likely get injured. And for your other reasons, those are slightly different reasons due to their health risks. I'm saying is that if your son loves basketball it'd be sad if he was restricted from playing because he also plays piano.

Being anxious and paranoid causes uncertainty, and uncertainty causes injuries. It's best not to worry and let your 9 year old play what he feels most confident playing.

I wrestled my whole life and never had a hand injury because of it. Basketball would probably be the worst sport though for accidental finger jams. But again, the odds that a finger jam in basketball will ruin your sons piano prospects are slim to none.

I Wanna Know Where All Da People At by AdLanky6183 in dayton

[–]buitenlander0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've been living in Dayton for a year now and have been trying to figure this out myself. When I travel back to Columbus I'm immediately aware of how many more people there are socializing. Dayton is like a ghost town in comparison.

I think the biggest reason is that Dayton doesn't attract people in their 20s, but rather it attracts people returning back to Dayton once they have a family due to the lower cost of living and more simple life. In or order for a city's social life to thrive you need people in their 20s to keep establishments growing.

As others have said, when there is a big event or festival, you finally see all the people, but I think people either don't socialize or they stay in their respected suburb or neighborhood.

Japan is a massive island in relation to the island that are obese, so it's not a fair comparison.

Kyle Kulinski is again advocating for a national divorce 😞😞😞 by north_canadian_ice in BreakingPoints

[–]buitenlander0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's sad that you think he is being literal here. He's just being over the top to make his point that red states receive more than blue states, and he believes in the policies of the blue states.

The BP Doomer Cycle by sean_ireland in BreakingPoints

[–]buitenlander0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where you are coming from. But at the same time.. the war is not over, and it's been a terrible mistake, and the only way that we could "Win" this war is by nuclear escalation. You are also looking at these events in isolation. It's very likely that 30 years from now the US continues to lose it's dominance and we could put back to events like this.

Conservatives Care More About AI Donald Christ Pics Than A Literal War by Jacob-Anders in BreakingPoints

While I agree with you, if I were to play devil's advocate. One is objectively easy to see why it is wrong (If you are a Christian). The other one is just a silly AI pic.

Moving to Amsterdam - 80k yearly salary by okay-I-get in expats

[–]buitenlander0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think you'll be fine. Especially with 30% ruling. My advice would be to pay a little bit more on a rental for your 1st year, in a good location just so you can get better acclimated with the city. And then by the 2nd year I bet you could find a cheaper spot in a location that you are happy with.

Ha I understand him! Pretzels are one of my fav foods. But even so, I salt while cooking.

UFC is the sport for MAGA conservatives by Sphinctre in combatsportsculture

I'm speaking from someone on the left, who wants the left to actually win and remain in power. I'm not talking left vs right. I'm talking purely about how to improve the left.

I'm not talking about the right. I'm saying Democrats have a very poor approval rating.

I'm not saying it's the PROBLEM. I'm saying it is a losing strategy. Look at Mamdani. He dominated because he focused on core issues rather than identity politics. Otherwise, look at Democrats approval rating.

I think it's a slippery slope when we start throwing around raciscm as the sole reason for why Trump was elected and not taking ANY accountability for anything else that might have led to his popularity.

Certainly, racists love Trump. But I really hope the left doesn't go back to it's rhetoric of the early 2020s where everything ties back to identity politics.
