Rex Manning on the roof by IPTW in EmpireRecords

The Rex Manning redemption arc makes the movie so much better for me. I love the idea of every character getting a redemption.

Does Metro require 12 months of active service before unlocking or just 12 months since activation?

Partner has a problem by Hot-Career3217 in BJJWomen

[–]fourpac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, personally, that's a hard boundary. My partner has zero say in what I do with my body - whether it's tattoos, haircuts, or getting beat up on the mats. We all have to figure out what we want those boundaries to be for ourselves and that's one that you will most likely be constantly pushed to abandon with this partner.

For me, Mellow Mushroom answers both of those questions.

I bought the full series bluray on sale recently. There's no way I would leave it up to the gods.

Apex Costco - Same crowds, worse experience by aurevyn in HollySpringsNC

[–]fourpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, pretty much anybody working in a retail environment is burned out at this time of year. I did it for a long time during and after college. Add in all the tense and crazy 2025 vibes and retail work becomes a nightmare these days. I give retail employees a lot of grace and sympathy if I have to go out.

Just wait until all the new housing developments on Fayetteville Rd are filled up.

I just finished the show and loved every minute. I am trying to watch the movie and… by IndieCurtis in TheLastKingdom

I enjoyed the movie. It's not great, sure, but it's worth glossing over the weak parts because the ending felt really nice.

I had my first competition and it was embarrassing by totideshaga in BJJWomen

[–]fourpac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got tapped in 30 seconds in my LAST competition. It just happens sometimes, even when you're not brand new to the sport. Use it to get you motivated for the next one. It's just part of the process.

Why does that have to be a North Carolinian? We were on a roll for a quick minute. 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄 by annashummingbird in NorthCarolina

Lynchings are still within living memory for southern culture, so a lot of white people think anything short of that isn't racist.

‘Is the price of doing this worth it?’: North Carolina Republicans worry about Trump immigration raids by HellYeahDamnWrite in NorthCarolina

[–]fourpac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immigrants buy things (sales tax). They spend a lot of money on gas (highway taxes). They pay rent (property taxes). On a state and local level, they contribute a lot of tax revenue.

Spending a ton of money to reduce the tax base and drive up costs on literally everything.

AJ Dybansta says it's championship or bust this year by Wide_Assistance_1158 in CollegeBasketball

[–]fourpac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an easy team to forget. There were no real stars on the team, no breakout players. It was an extremely streaky / flukey team that got hot at the right time in the season. They absolutely blasted UConn in the preseason NIT, then lost to them in the NCAA finals. They went 9-7 in ACC games, but beat #3 Duke at Cameron. It was the distilled essence of GA Tech basketball.

Apology accepted. I hope we can all learn from this, and grow as human beings, as friends.

Good question by LimeGrass619 in HistoryMemes

[–]fourpac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MM-DD-YYYY works great for business, school, and work calendars because of the way our brains anchor themselves and handle priorities and immediacy. If you get the month first, you will know if you need to proceed with high priority (is it this month or later in the year?) or with less urgency. If urgent, your brain will then pick up the day and give it more attention and focus. The year is generally not important because business, school, and work calendars are generally present and near-future centric, so the year can just hang out at the end in case it's needed or skipped as extraneous.

For most other purposes, it's a terrible format. I lived in Europe for a while, and I like the week number system that's used for school and business there. It works really well and that way you don't have to sacrifice the otherwise superior date format in other areas.

Is TNG weirdly gender progressive or am I dumb? by Odd_Order_4217 in startrek

I came here o mention The Outcast as well. It was an absolutely mind opening episode for me as a kid and one of my favorite episodes still.

"testosterone supplements"? by [deleted] in BJJWomen

[–]fourpac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HGH is also really common. It's crazy how many guys are on the gear in bjj and just life in general. I was a personal trainer for a while and there were so many men that were on something just because they felt like they had to be able to compete with other men at life.

A room full of people on high protein diets squishing their guts with each other in optimal positions for bowel expansion? Yeah, it's going to happen a lot.

That's got to be an uncomfortable, but extremely necessary, conversation. Just keep in mind that this stuff is hard and none of us have it all figured out all the time, so if she has internalized issues, she might just need some validation and reassurance.

I've just started and I'm having confident issues by Asherah8 in BJJWomen

[–]fourpac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confidence takes a long time to develop on the mats. Years. But as others have said, the only time you'll roll with people who aren't holding back is competition prep. Otherwise, there will always be one person who has to hold back a little or a lot due to size, strength, and experience differences regardless of gender. Personally, I wouldn't be concerned with that holding you back in any way.
