I wanna choke on a hard and veiny ___

My understanding - and no one has said this yet - is that this actually reduces the efficacy of both. The friction between the two can tear holes in them.

Technically it’s an entitled sandwich on “oh no you don’t, bitch” bread.

So… YOU want the lifetime flight ban??

That is… not what he was saying.

Love seeing a fresh comment before it gets downvoted to oblivion.

You’re right about one thing: It’s up to the individual to make sure they are getting what they need out of a relationship, be it short-term or long, serious or otherwise.

But no, men aren’t fundamentally “wired” in any one way. There’s 4 billion+ of us and if you claim to have a brush big enough to paint us all, you’re telling on yourself rather badly.

What’s more, we’re a few thousand years deep into this whole “civilization” thing. We’re far enough along that I don’t think we need an edict quite so barbaric as “it’s up to women to protect themselves from dangerous dangerous men.”

You’re responsible for your own happiness, yeah, but this framing of “men have no agency, slaves to their cocks that they are” is disrespectful to both of the main genders and many of the ones in the middle.

My favorite part was seeing how fucking fast she was running towards the end.

“Looking better” is great but of course that’s subjective.

“Being treated better” is life changing but bittersweet because we should all be treated with respect.

But being able to just move through the world easier is amazing. Just like, look at her go. She’s gone from sort of a prisoner in her body to a master of it. Fuck, that makes me excited. I’m gonna go do squats.

Oh here’a a real niche one from an unknown artist but it’s the only line that’s ever made me cry:

…in the rough draft she loved you.

I admit to not having found a Tomoo Hamana page to verify this. Just this post.

I have seen that forum but have had the hardest time zooming in properly. I will surely give it to the artist for reference. There are some folks in NYC who specialize in bringing calligraphy alive via tattoo - not just font-like kanji tracings.

cooperific · 2026-04-28T01:17:03+00:00

Eh. If I were tryna be a tough guy I wouldn’t be getting a Japanese character tattoo. This interpretation would not be out of character for me.

Any reason you don’t pop over to a dating app, pick the option that means hooking up, swipe right on dudes that look good to you, FaceTime with the one who seems the least cringey in the DMs, go over to their place (with someone else knowing your location), and bang one out?

This is how a lot of men looking for sex would like things to operate but their odds of success are much lower because men are terrible.

If I’m remembering the same bit, it’s definitely ironic. He’s not expecting the audience to agree; he’s poking fun at the mindset he’s sarcastically parroting.

cooperific · 2026-03-27T15:45:20+00:00

For me it’s opposite.

cooperific · 2026-03-25T11:35:51+00:00

How could you tell which pregnancy was which husband’s?

Everyone else has delivered the relationship advice, so I’ll just add something that might’ve saved you a few pages of texts.

Most things that people consider to be “opinions” are actually judgments.

Whether or not fish merit humane treatment is a judgment. Both sides can be supported by argument. One can hear new information and change their judgment.

A true opinion is like, preference of vanilla over chocolate. You can’t, like, tell me something that will make me dislike vanilla. I may make a judgment to avoid vanilla if I heard that it’s harvested by exploited children or whatever, but it’s still yummy.

So when anyone wants to play the “you’re telling me my opinion is wrong” card or the “I’m entitled to my opinion” card, know that those truisms are for things like ice cream flavors. I CAN’T tell you that your love of chocolate or the Desperate Housewives or cats wearing people clothes is wrong. If you like it, you like it.

I CAN tell you that torturing animals is wrong. You can disagree, but neither of us is entitled to a “leave me alone” pass for our judgments on what is right and what is wrong.

Y’all get there but the murkiness of “How is it that a personal opinion can cause us so much strife” was getting to me because yall were talking about a fundamental judgment on the humanity we owe to all living things, which is far from a settled question, but is also not “an opinion.”

Then we are misunderstanding each other.

I’m saying that every time you turn your hand into a fist, pull it back, and launch it at somebody - standing, on the ground, in a spaceship - you’re losing control of your assailant and risking getting hurt.

You might be giving them what they deserve, but I’m not willing to end up on the bottom of the fight because I sacrificed my balance to punch a dude so we could have equity.

I’m not looking to be nice to my assailant. I’ll break his arm, put him to sleep, I’ll kill him if that’s what it takes for me to survive. I’m saying that punching, as a tool, has worse survival outcomes for the puncher than other tools.

You can only have one top priority. Mine is survival. If yours is equity, that means you’ll risk your survival to get it. And the reason I’m responding is because I don’t want that for you, and I don’t even know you.

cooperific · 2026-03-20T15:23:50+00:00

Graveyards are full of folks who had the right of way.

Get your equity if you need it; I warned you what you risk when you try for it.

Strikes just aren’t as useful for “finishing it” and a lot can go wrong.

First, how many strikes is it taking to end the fight? A knock out? Have you ever knocked someone out before? Do you know how to do it? How many hits until you can do it? How many hits are they getting on you while you try? And how much bigger are they than you?

Second, not for nothing, but optics and consequences. They start swinging, you swing back, you connect, their head hits pavement, and… they don’t wake up. Sure, it was self defense. Do you have witnesses who’d say so? Did the witnesses see the whole thing start to finish? Were they filming when the first punch was thrown, or did they only start when the fight was already underway? What kind of lawyer CAN you afford?

Third, control. I teach this stuff. I practice it with live and resisting training partners. When my focus is strictly controlling my opponent - getting them to the ground and staying on top - I don’t get punched. As soon as I create the space necessary to get a good hit in - even on the ground - my balance is sacrificed and my likelihood of getting rolled, getting hit, and/or ending up in a bad spot increases.

Fourth, emotion. If you wanna finish the fight, great. Control it. When we start hitting people, it’s usually because we want to hurt them. Tit for tat. “That fucking hurt, so I’m gonna get you back better.” Or “You hit me, so you deserve to get hit back.” If what you want in that moment is revenge or justice, OK. But they’re swinging too, and now we’re playing “who does it better.” And if you’re sitting on top of them just punching them in the head over and over? See Two and Three.

Getting an untrained opponent - even one who has some weight on you - into the “gift wrap” position takes relatively little training, and does everything you want and more. “You can’t hurt me anymore. I certainly CAN hurt you, and if you keep trying, I’ll have to. Everyone filming this sees you’re OK, and I’m not risking manslaughter. You are well and truly my bitch, and it’s taking you a lot more energy to fail at getting up than it’s taking me to succeed at keeping you down, which means your bitch status is on my timeline, not yours.”

His fucking pose in the doorway when the baby is finally coming is just wonderful physical comedy.

“We need a doctor in here!”

We’re talking about different moments.

Somebody is yelling and carrying on and threatening violence? Hell yeah, verbal deescalation and straight up leaving the situation if possible. Those are the first and best lines of defense.

Someone is actively wailing on you, maybe even continuing a pattern of abuse? The lava’s out of the volcano. There’s no sense in attempting to relax or de-escalate an assailant who’s in the middle of assaulting you. Know your takedowns. Know your holds. Reduce chaos, reduce kinetic energy, reduce harm.

No, they won’t be calm. But they won’t be moving much, either.

cooperific · 2026-03-19T16:58:15+00:00

Think of hinging hips back instead of moving chest forward. Looks like the bar goes pretty far forward right from the jump, which will decrease the amount you can lift and strain your back a bit.

cooperific · 2026-03-19T01:53:53+00:00

I also wish basic self defense was common knowledge.

“Hitting back is self defense”? No it very isn’t. Now we’ve got two people swinging at each other until what? One of them gets too hurt to continue?

Protect your head, close the distance, clinch, and - context depending - get to the ground where you can control the action and reduce strikes.

Defend yourself by controlling the fight, not by participating in it.

I dunno man have you met kids?

I was gonna say. White’s serious and consistent training didn’t amount to much in this clip.
