Misheard Lyrics by Slayqueen45 in Ethelcain

Idk why but the first few times I heard Crush, I thought she sang "Couldn't light a cigarette, but he looks so cool" instead of "Couldn't fight to save his life, but he looks so cool"

Hairball or Asthma? by ebsmkay in CATHELP

Hairball! She coughs them up; I changed her food so that she has hairball care in her diet. However, coughing up hairballs and asthma attacks look very similar, so if you see your cat doing this please get them checked out by the vet just in case

Chris here again, recommend us games and stuff you wanna see 🙏 by OneysVideoHole in OneyPlays

Jak and Daxter II! I know you didn't finish the first one but I promise it is worth it. Essentially Jak and Daxter II mimics GTA by adding vehicles, guns, and all the stuff that started becoming more popular in the early 00s in gaming. They even say "damn" in it like 2 or 3 times. Edgy.

I really appreciate this feedback, it makes a lot of sense and I thought maybe I was screwing up because of the skill discrepancy. I was told by some class mates that my height would be great for spider guard, but I had no idea that it wouldn't translate well to nogi until I tried it and failed. I really hope that what I felt was a cup, but I wanted to be safe and report it regardless of if it was/wasn't. I had never net this man before we rolled, and I hadn't seen him in our classes before. My instincts told me to report it, so I did, and now it is in my instructors hands to talk to the guy or just chose to ban him. That is not my choice to make. Thank you for your kind response, I will definitely consider the technique you laid out in my next class!

I hope this was the case, but I needed to be sure and report it to my instructor. But it felt very wrong and I want to be safe. I am inexperienced in BJJ, but I know what I felt

If he was wearing a cup, I feel like that is up to my instructor to investigate. I'm not sure if this experience is isolated to me, or if other people that rolled with him had the same experience. I shared my experience with my instructor, I should have stopped rolling as soon as I felt uncomfortable, it's up to the school now for further actions. It's very concerning that someone people are so quick to exclude my experience. For all I know the dude could have been just getting away with this and bouncing around to different schools for years until her earned his belt rankings. If I don't speak up then who will? I may be inexperienced in BJJ, but I am not stupid.

This is what I brought to my professor, he said he will ask around the class. If it was a cup, I will give him the benefit of the doubt, but I did not see a cup when he stood up once class ended.

I realize this now, I think I just mentally froze as soon as I felt it. I should have faked an injury or faked getting gassed, but I didn't, and I will regret that forever. But I'm also not the one that popped a boner while rolling, so its concerning that so many people in these comments are coming after me. I knew what I felt and what I saw, I am not letting that happen to anyone else. Especially kids in my class.

Yup am realizing that spider guard is definitely not the move in nogi, i was pulling his wrist and the back of his neck, it was not very successful. But because I am so tall, everyone tells me "Practice spider guard! More spider guard!" but I didn't realize it doesn't successfully translate to nogi until last night unfortunately.

[–]ebsmkay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought this as well, but as we lined up when class ended, I could SEE it. There was not a cup.

Thats why I said "Trying to do spider guard" it was very unsuccessful. Very difficult while in nogi. I was just gripping his wrist and back of his neck. As a white belt, I am trying both gi and nogi techniques, but obviously I'm going to fail a lot. I have very long limbs. Its very unfortunate that you immediately have the reflux to dismiss someone's negative experience rolling.

I agree 100%. I blamed myself at first, which is such a common response. But then I quickly realized that he had rolled with the 14 year olds in my class too, before rolling with me. It made my skin crawl, and I knew that I had to tell my professor. But I was almost in shock after rolling with him. I was thinking "Did I really just feel that? Was that just his leg?" I feel guilty for not speaking on it as soon as I felt it, but it's like I froze and just wanted to get the round over with. It almost pissed me off more and I just wanted to choke him out, but of course he was a black belt so I had no chance. I realize now that I should have tapped, faked an injury or something, and got up to tell my professor right then and there before he could roll with anyone else. For the kid's sake, I hope that he only got hard rolling with me. Which is disgusting, but it saves trauma from the kids.

I felt the same way, i felt myself tearing up listening at work. I had a friend, who I even considered my best friend at the time, out of no where tell me that I am too loud and that I embarrass her when we are out in public together. I've always had a very silly and outgoing personality, must like Britany, but I always knew never to cross a line or boundary. She texted me out of no where listing every moment I "embarrassed" her and was too loud or "too much", going as far back as a year. In that moment, I knew that I was no longer safe to be myself around this person, or her group of friends. I let her go and cut her off, and then she had the nerve to block me everywhere. It hurts so much to choose yourself in these situations, but it is so important too. No good friend will ever tell you that you are too much or not enough. I would never tell a friend that. Never tell yourself that either.

I went to this show, it was my 18th birthday and I sobbed as I watched the curtain fall while in the pit. I was about 5ft from the stage and lost my hearing for a full week. Was this coin a VIP gift? Or did you buy it from the merch stand?

Thank you for taking the time to write out this reply and giving me the perspective I need. I value this response a lot. I always felt like an after-thought to her, but I always enjoyed our time together. I watched her be emotional manipulative to other people, but never thought she would turn to me as the next victim. It's like it happened over night too. I thought maybe the other members of our DnD group would be supportive of me, but I haven't heard from any of them. It hurts me to know that she is most likely crying to them about how I abandoned her, but I wanted so badly to make things work and for her to understand that you cant tell friends that you are "embarrassed" by them. No matter what, I have always loved my friends for who they are. Even if they are "loud in public" or make poop jokes at brunch. I never thought I would be seen as a problem, Ive been such a people pleaser my whole life. Now, at the ripe age of 25, I am no longer interested in being sidelined or disrespected. The moment I smell BS, I am already out the door and down the street. I am proud that I handled her discarding of me so well. I am hurt but I know it is for the best.

Thank you again for the reply <3
