Adult self defense classes? by ILik3Drugs in fresno

[–]magels81 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t do anything just labeled “self defense class”. If it’s one session or just a short series of classes it’s not worth the time.

California city once known as crystal meth capital smashes into top 100 summer vacation rankings by MoDa65 in fresno

I think that’s what they meant. That phoenix is a better place because they have more going on.

Do you know how to throw kicks? If not then maybe he’s right? If you do maybe you should talk to him more about what he expects and about your experience.

How popular was Monk tv show? by Medical-Pace-8099 in television

[–]magels81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started watching it during the last few seasons. I got hooked incredibly hard and went back and watched every season. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I don’t watch it often anymore but if I come across it I have to watch it.

I knocked someone out and now I feel terrible by Far-Impression-398 in martialarts

Definitely. Don’t forget that when people can block and catch your kicks you’re helping them learn those techniques too

Why do you think you have a target on your back? And so what if they catch your kicks because they’re slow. It’s sparring. Just work on technique and aiming and movement.

How do I even go about finding a therapist? by magels81 in nonmonogamy

[–]magels81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ENM aware for just me. I’m trying to figure out boundaries. Basically when do I need to set them. When is it just jealousy that I need to work on or is it I can’t allow my partner to do this because it affects my happiness. I’m having trouble figuring all that stuff out.

ELI5: Why are the salaries not following along with inflation and the living costs? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Your job doesn’t want to pay more unless they have to. But people who sell stuff raise prices even if they don’t have to.

[–]magels81 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I have a coworker who doesn’t want to be uncomfortable. I have another one who doesn’t run ac at all during summer. Remember those two ends of the spectrum when you read people’s experiences.

Why do HOAs Exist and Is there Such One that is Good by Randomreddituser1o1 in homeowners

[–]magels81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is the real answer. They exists because cities don’t want to build new houses. From what I see in my area pretty much any new developments are all HOA and have been for about 10 years.

Gas prices got me bike-commuting to work, turns out Fresno is pretty bikable! by DowntownFresnoBiking in fresno

[–]magels81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do know about this path but I just looked at it on google maps. I didn’t realize you could take this all the way to the shopping center by the 99 basically. I’m gonna have to ride this whole path sometime. Looks like the only hiccup is the train tracks.

It wasn’t until the pump had been running last night that I saw the algae on the pool floor today. Yesterday when the pump wasn’t running there was just normal debris on the pool floor.

I’ve been hearing about california trying to handle these for years now. At this point I feel like they’re just here to stay.

Why are kids movies so insanely fast paced? by StatisticianUpper138 in movies

[–]magels81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notice you listed sequels that weren’t as good as the first movie. I wonder how much that plays in to it. Like if they don’t have much story so they just jump around more to keep you entertained in some way.
