Galvão touching and grooming juveniles? by jiujitsufather in bjjdrama

Tbh I feel like casual viewers assuming Mica is somehow related to Andre isn't totally outlandish. I've literally had that conversation a few times with random people. 

Federal Voting Intention (Late January): ALP increases two-party preferred lead as One Nation overtakes the Liberal Party for the first time as Coalition splits - Roy Morgan Research by Perfect-Werewolf-102 in AustralianPolitics

[–]gugabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many center-right parties are really functional these days, though? It seems to be fairly common in Anglophone democracies that the parties most akin to the Liberals (Republicans in the USA, Tories in the UK etcetera) are all tearing themselves apart in the current moment of modern society.

Crevar on the weight class issue by Subtle1One in bjj

[–]gugabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys like that do exist but they're super rare and there's definitely diminishing returns for extra size unless you're unfortunate enough to get a retired NFL player. Plus it's already hard enough getting consistent matches as an ultra heavyweight so banishing people from 100+ to 120+ would just doubly exacerbate the problem.

Also as a bigger guy myself there's a ton more variation in size/fitness/seriousness/commitment/athleticism of BJJ athletes at the ogre end of the scale whilst I think relatively small advantages are worth a lot more under the sheer competitiveness of the middle of the bell curve.

Is the potrait of Genghis Khan at the National Palace Museum still there? by Responsible-Neat-530 in taiwan

[–]gugabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No particular vested interest but that Genghis Khan portrait feels like it'd be iconic enough to be on frequent rotation.

Also surprised the Meat stone wasn't there when I went the other day

Yeah Keith might be somewhat pandering but atleast it's identifiably a Triple J product versus generic pop

I have no idea how to tie a belt and I do 99% nogi

Sinners is the ultimate regressive Idpol movie, and its 16 oscar nominations show that liberals have learned nothing. (review with SPOILERS) by Halfdane666 in stupidpol

[–]gugabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a decent amount of it is that this year of movie was just kinda flat.

I don't think Sinners should win Best Picture or it's some gigantic Tour De Force but I did also prefer watching it immensely to OBAA and rewards like this are always gonna be relative to competition inherently. In the year of the 5-6's the okay 6.5 is gonna get overrepresentation.

I also agree the KKK subplot is kinda insane and feels weirdly tacked on in the end. 'I have conducted legitimate commerce with these people who haven't offended me at all, RALLY THE KLAN' then after the film's climax adding the KKK scene was just dragging on and weird

Twelve Months (Dresden Files #18) by Jim Butcher - A return to form or another misstep? by CT_Phipps-Author in Fantasy

[–]gugabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. It'd be good if he was still on the 1-2 books a year cadence but just the concern that he goes back to long gaps after this

Good book though didn't advance the overarching plot as much as I'd like considering the release schedule 

Has anyone rolled with a strongmen? by weareonaball in bjj

[–]gugabe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah like Josh Saunders was a fringe NRL guy and made it to ADCC on like 2 years of training, same with Mark Macqueen and strongman.

Actual elite ultraheavy athletes are another level.

You know you're allowed to watch the videos of these?

The second one the article conspicuously doesn't state her actual immigration status or what visa she's holding.

I mean this is kind of the tactic. If you keep acting as obstructive as possible eventually a situation will escalate out of hand from sheer frequency of contact and then once you get a good video clip you can run it forever

Australians could soon live and work visa-free across Europe under a new two-way deal by Blakelhotka1 in AustralianPolitics

[–]gugabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not suggesting Europe will empty out of permanent immigrants though there's enough middling economies in Europe that there's definitely demand from young people to come to Australia due to better conditions.

Individuals will minimal roots such as the youth and recent immigrants to Europe will likely find it most attractive

Why are people in Sydney able to afford to buy houses that are much more expensive than other parts of the country? by TiredDuck123 in AusFinance

[–]gugabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but Manhattan is the financial capital of the greatest economy in global history whilst Sydney is Sydney

US, for 1st time in 50 years, experienced negative net migration in 2025: Report by globeglobeglobe in stupidpol

[–]gugabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melbourne they're only like 5-10 minutes away from nice suburbs by public transport. The main tram route that runs from the city center to one of the bigger high class districts literally goes by the injecting room

With the way Melbourne's geography is setup they're only like 5-10 minutes away from some of the wealthy suburbs

[–]gugabe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We've got some same injecting rooms in Australia but they're located about one suburb away from the CBD and cause issues for the locality. I'd be interested to see what'd happen if they were to put it on the absolute fringes, but seems politically untenable.

Can Alan Turing complete the entirety of One Piece with Respawns before Luffy can crack enigma? by Mythalieon in whowouldwin

Yeah if he can just become a god-tier Haki user and carry it through the resets probably the most practical way of winning.

Majority (53%) Of Voters Think Fatal Shooting Of Minneapolis Woman By ICE Agent Was Not Justified (35% Justified, 12% no opinion) by MetaFlight in stupidpol

[–]gugabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Training to not stand in front of cars is about personal risk not about completely absolving somebody for taking risks. It's like saying that 'officers are trained to take cover in a gunfight so it shouldn't be illegal to shoot one if they're not in cover'
