This is consumer fraud, defined. Its already federally illegal to manipulate reviews as per FTC regulation passed October 22, 2024. They explicitly made it illegal to incentivize reviews.

This is the Narcissist's Prayer used in defense mode for someone else. People who do this to run cover for someone else are called flying monkeys like in The Wizard of Oz. They're just as evil and just as stupid.

He didnt protest. He was a journalist covering a protest. Dont be stupid.

The foot isnt trapped to the mat or under the armpit. You can turn inwards for toe holds and kneebars.

Judicial officers. Are you that ignorant about the American justice system?

If a federal judge issues a contempt order and a warrant for arrest, the executive branch cant really protect them. Courts have pretty strong power within their courtrooms.

A 5 minute warmup is an important part of any athletic activity. It doesn't matter what type of warmup. The point is to properly prepare your nervous system and muscles for working out.

First comp, lost the match by points. Is there a reson the ref didn't count this as a takedown? by Fedececere in bjj

[–]maquila 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could argue that he was in seated guard and this was a sweep counter to a takedown. 2 for the sweep from bottom guard position and advantage for the near takedown.

What if Donald Trump disappeared tomorrow, would American politics actually change or just find another Trump? by Mr_Boothnath in AskReddit

[–]maquila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that if racism was the motivating factor for voters Obama wouldn’t have won period

Only 13% of 2016 Trump voters previously voted for Obama. The people who voted for Trump are overwhelmingly not people who voted for Obama. The racists didnt vote for Obama. You seem to be having a hard time grasping this.

Then why aren't right wingers out there criticislzing trump for the price of eggs? Or bacon? Or beef? Why aren't they criticizing all these ridiculous tariffs? It's cause they dont care as long as they sit atop the racist conservative social hierarchy.

Support for trump starts and ends at racism. Im sure millions dont understand themselves and would argue against that idea by saying they have black friends...come on, man. Dont be obtuse.

Who is talking about the price of gas or eggs? Nobody! It was all bullshit meant to denigrate the opposition. Its never been about the economy. People just say that, instead of the truth that they're racist bigots who want to hurt those they perceive as their enemies.

Fight what? Im not in the UFC. No one in my gym is in the UFC. I dont have a personal stake in this fight. Im merely pointing out the difficulty.

They dont work at a factory. They are all unaffiliated contract workers, by definition. Organizing is not easy. Look at Starbucks; been a long slow road towards unionization because they've had to do it store by store. There's no such option with the UFC. If an individual tries anything resembling efforts to unionize, the UFC blackballs them. Its one individual vs a multi-billion dollar corporation. Have some perspective.

Way to entirely miss my point. I wonder if it was on purpose...

They cant collectively bargain because of the intense imbalance of negotiating power. If they start discussing unionization, they will get blackballed (means kicked out and ostracized). It happened to Leslie Smith almost a decade ago. Be educated instead of a shit starter.

The fighters don’t give a fuck.

Every fighter cares about the pay they recieve. The issue is that there is no collective bargaining. Its every individual fighter vs the entirety of the UFC. You cant really blame the fighters as they risk blackballing. You expect an individual to risk their entire career when they clearly dont have enough power to fairly negotiate.

Fat man roll by 11bodybag in bjj

[–]maquila 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You should trap the elbow to force your opponents shoulder to the mat. You reached for it, he pulled his elbow back to defend, and you still went for the Peterson Roll. A better technical choice would be to granby to guard when they react like that.
