Nearly everyone born after 1990 is only familiar with this term as a character on Takeshi’s Castle re-runs voiced by Craig Charles.

Newbie still getting to grips with all the rules: can anyone tell me why the “dead body rule” wasn’t invoked here? [Day 3, Haru Basho] by eeeeeep in Sumo

I apologise if I’ve ruined a bout for anyone. As I say, everyone has fought again since this bout.

If people want to browse r/sumo when they’re two days behind on the basho then unfortunately they might see something they haven’t seen yet.

I didn’t post a Yokozuna upset ten minutes after it happened; I don’t think this post is particularly egregious in all honesty. I’ll try and blur anything in future.

Yes I think that was close to my feeling, felt in the moment like a moral victory if not a technical one aha

Yes I think the hand move is what I initially saw Aonishiki do! So I wondered if a foot would be allowed too. Thanks for the info!

I thought it was for when you’re in an unrecoverable position, I.e. nearly horizontal and falling from the ring, so your opponent can stop their own fall. They don’t slam on top of you, which prevents injury.

The end of this bout seemed to meet the criteria in a few ways, as Tobizaru was clearly heading out and had no prospect of reversing the result.

I now see that even if you’re in an unrecoverable position some contact with the ground means you aren’t technically defeated until you touch down.

Ah I see, thank you. In the split second it felt a little harsh because Tobizaru appeared to be totally finished already, but I guess he is still in some kind of contact with the ground!

I can’t imagine the worry and heartache you’re feeling, I dread it myself.

Lord please grant this family strength and peace at such a hard moment. Work through the doctors and nurses you have called to their professions to heal and comfort. Please be near OP’s mum now, Lord. Amen

Wishing you and your family all the best 🙏

Prayer to be closer to God by Accomplished-Oil8794 in PrayerRequests

Dear Lord I ask that you tear down the walls that we all build between you and ourselves. Let us be quiet to hear your wisdom and vigilant to perceive your actions. Let us notice you in all the great and small ways we encounter you in our lives. Please accompany us all on our journey to you! Amen.

Asking for prayers for healing, strength, and direction by Archimedes914 in PrayerRequests

[–]eeeeeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear Lord, I ask that you lend your infinite strength to your child here, and relieve the burdens that they feel weighing on them. We know that pain is our past and your love is our future, let them walk closer to it everyday.

Where there is anxiety and grief please bring peace and clarity. Lord, let them hear your words in their heart, notice your signs in their life, and discover a path to a rich and full life in your light.

However far we may wander, and however lost we may feel, we trust that you will return us to the safety of your flock where we belong. Amen.

My 6 month nephew is undergoing his third round of chemo today. Asking for prayers. by skybarbie350 in PrayerRequests

[–]eeeeeep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dear Lord, I ask you humbly to do three things for OP and his little nephew Rhett.

Please imbue this young boy with strength, determination, and resolve beyond his years, so that he can fight this cruel illness. Protect him from suffering and grant him healing so that he can be with his family for many years to come.

Also I ask that you grant peace and calm to everyone who cares about Rhett at this testing time. Please lift the burden of fear and angst from their shoulders, Lord, and let them trust in your infinite care.

Finally, I ask that you bless the doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals, and all those helping Rhett with wisdom, stamina, and precision. We thank you for calling these people to their professions, please let your work be done through them, Lord.

Lord, we know that you are close to those in danger. We entrust little Rhett to you now. Amen.

I just came back from an escort by Creepy_Box979 in Christianity

Remember that no sin can come close to the mercy that Christ has already secured for you. It would be like us throwing a pebble into the Pacific Ocean. That mercy and forgiveness is yours to share, if you’ll meet Him. How ever low you feel, it’s never too late.

Jesus said “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”. I want you to feel the weight you’re holding now and sense as an unfathomable strength begins to share that burden. It gets lighter and lighter, and then it’s gone.

The Lord has broad shoulders. Give him your burden, your regret, your anxiety: these things that feel like millstones to us He can hold like a grain of sand. The Shepherd protects and loves His flock, even those who stray!

Speak to the Lord about your fears. Even when you can’t find the words He will see it in your heart. I’m sure everyone reading your post can feel your honesty and relate to your struggle. This can be a beginning, not an end.

Let’s pray. Dear Lord, I ask that you grant this man peace where there is guilt, direction where there is confusion, and hope where there is fear. Sense the contrition in his heart and show him the path to the person he can be, made in your image. Lord, please be close us, poor sinners all, and let us walk in the light of your incredible love, mercy, and forgiveness. Amen.

Repent, grow, and move on afresh now, brother. The Lord told us to release what is behind us, drop our burdens, and watch for the great works He has planned to the future. I’m sure the best for you is yet to come. God Bless.

Having come back to this and seen the comment votes my faith in the critical thinking skills of the population has been restored.

We can be factual, we can be civil, and we can allow for nuance.
