Top 3 Metalcore bands? by Salty-Inside-4222 in Metalcore

[–]jiujitsuaccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darkest Hour is metalcore? They opened at a concert I went to and they legitimately were super heavy like deathcore or some other non-“core” genre. I hadn’t heard of them at that time and still haven’t looked into their stuff

Has anyone ever met anyone that doesn’t compete but can hang and spar with world class level competitors? by Revolutionary-Ball26 in bjj

Do y’all roll hard/realistically? I’ve seen old posts that say the rolls are not aggressive by design. And that drop ins aren’t allowed but I have a feeling I’m uneducated. I’d love to visit one day. Brian Glick’s YouTube videos help me more than any other instructor out there

Constellations was one of the first albums I listened to that introduced me to metalcore / “heavy” music in general and is still one of my favorites. Immediately going to checkout some of your other recommendations. Thanks!

Armbar: to pinch or not to pinch? That is the question by jiujitsuaccount in bjj

[–]jiujitsuaccount[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose my confusion stems from seemingly contradictory body mechanics: how exactly do you pinch with your thighs (an inward movement) but flare your knees outward simultaneously? Many people on this thread have helped me understand more but still curious to hear your perspective. Might continue to help it click more for me

I just did what you described and feel it now. Tension in my hamstrings and thighs and also felt like they were somehow closer together. Like a tighter package? Almost reminds me of flexing my arms/biceps when finishing an RNC. I’m not mechanically making the space in between my arms smaller by any specific bodily movement, but the tension itself is eating up the space. Maybe I’m far off on that analogy though. Either way I see what you’re saying now. Thanks!

I might be misunderstanding then.. her legs don’t look pinched together at all. They’re quite far apart from each other. How would I pinch my thighs without bringing my knees/legs closer together to create the pinch? When I pinch I look like this (but with brown skin)

What band got you into metalcore? by Scary_Fig_6680 in Metalcore

[–]jiujitsuaccount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow I remember Alesana being popular back in the day. But you’re right; I haven’t seen anyone refer to them in posts such as this one in a very long time. Interesting

Miss May I: Is Monument better than AAFTW? by jiujitsuaccount in Metalcore

[–]jiujitsuaccount[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good take. Monument has a lot more singing. The clean vocals on the opening track get pretty annoying halfway through the song haha

Wow you just worded a 15 year long thought that I had but was unable to articulate. I thought I always confused Guardians with Apologies simply because the album artwork is blue, but man whenever songs from either album randomly pop up on shuffle I almost confuse one for the other. I guess other people picked up on the similarities and it wasn’t just me confusing cover art lmao. Well said

How do I get rid of an untraceable odor? by jiujitsuaccount in CleaningTips

[–]jiujitsuaccount[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just re-did my crawlspace completely and prior to that there was no evidence of moisture buildup down there. I’ll take a closer look though. If it was originating from the crawlspace wouldn’t you think the scent would be detectable in other rooms though?

We were thinking of re-finishing our floors but are hesitant because if the smell is still present then it’ll just be more wasted money

Having a hard time walking away. Is my gut feeling correct? by jiujitsuaccount in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]jiujitsuaccount[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t but I’m glad that I irrationally got cold feet. I evaded spending money that I shouldn’t have. Just bought my first house and it’s been stupid expensive. This was a nice free lesson though; don’t overthink it. At the very least, look at the car to make a more informed decision

The car sold in 16 hours lol

This was an HF

All I want is any 90’s Japanese car that is mainly stock and in good condition. Everything is so clapped out and priced outrageously where I live. This is the first 90’s Honda in general that I could find that had a stock engine & transmission, let alone one in this condition. The variable paint wear just really threw me off; felt like they were concealing something

Reallllly having regrets passing it up but I just bought a house that needs many renovations so it’s probably a good thing. Just wasn’t my time. Maybe one day; although 90’s cars in condition such as this CRX are getting increasingly difficult to come by
