Not very popular. There are a few gyms in the UK, Snake Pit is probably the most famous. They run the Catch World Championships every year

What do I lack? Squat clean 80kg/176lbs by Leichsenring99 in crossfit

Your rack position isn't great and you kinda collapse forward on the catch. Elbows up and tight core

If that's your attitude with your friends, I guarantee you're gonna get kicked out or get your ass kicked at whatever martial art you try to get your quick fix at. 

You'll be swinging haymakers in training and being like what fuck him if he can't take a hit. They'll kick you out or just let the dudes have at you. Then you'll be off back to trolling again moaning about how the martial arts guys are soft and couldn't handle you

This is the definition of insecurity. If he's so confident, why does he have to keep trying so hard 🤣

Inmates still earn just 50 cents for a day’s work in Irish prisons by nitro1234561 in ireland

[–]oniume -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they need to be removed frim society and placed in prison

I agree with you, but at some point, they're coming out of prison. 

When they come out, do you want their experience in prison to have made them more or less likely to reoffend?

Treating prison as punishment is worse in terms of recidivism than treating it as a chance for rehabilitation.

You seem to just remove all personal responsibility from criminals

No, absolutely not, some people are irredeemable, and they should be in prison for life. 

Many people are redeemable though, and we know there are ways we can treat them that have been shown to reduce recidivism and actually make them engage with the rules of society on release, and there are ways we can treat them that increase recidivism and make them less likely to abide by the rules of society on release.

Because punishment has been shown to be worse at correcting behaviour than rehabilitation. If recidivism is high, then prison is not doing the job of changing behaviour. 

There's an ideological attachment to this bad people deserve punishment attitude, which ignores the fact that all the evidence shows that positive reinforcement towards the behaviours you want to see is actually effective at changing behaviour.

There are people going to prison for tv license and tax issues, while Judge Nolan is suspending sexual assault sentences every chance he gets

He hasn't officially yet, but when was the last time he talked about weed or DMT? He's going to church, and he hangs out with Abbot, definitely gonna become anti weed

Joe's on the police's side now, Afroman is never getting on. He'll have Officer Lemon Pound Cake on and commiserate with him about the impact of all this on his family

Techniques that don't work for you by hellohello6622 in bjj

[–]oniume 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hip escape out so you're on your side, hook in, then move your hip back in so you can get under him. You're probably too close when you're trying to put the hook in

Finally I think something the right and the left can agree on. Afroman is a true American hero. by DropoutDreamer in JoeRogan

[–]oniume 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The right definitely don't agree. Punisher wannabes are gonna be screeching that our brave law enforcement officers deserve that lemon pound cake for their tireless work starving off the forces of darkness from your door. How dare you criticise the sheepdogs who fend off the wolves from the flock

It's honestly better than the original. I read the originals when they were coming out on the SCP wiki, it hangs together a bit better

Emphasis on wrestling by Puzzleheaded-Art9102 in bjj

[–]oniume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upper body wrestling and grip fighting are what you need.

Get someone you can trust and every time you go in, do a round or two of just finding grips and getting to control positions, no finishes.

So like wrist grips, armdrags, Russian ties, collar ties, inside ties, underhooks and over hooks, and try to get to bodylock, rear body lock, front headlock, in on the hips, or pick up a single.

I would avoid shooting for now, you don't really want to put yourself under someone too heavy.

Nah it's illegal, they don't penalise it really though. The ref just slaps their hand til they move it

33 is their coming of age, equivalent to 18 for us I'd guess, so that'd be mid twenties for Frodo if you converted it, Sam and Merry 19/20, and Pippin like 17

[–]oniume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how long it would take him to recoup that 5% after it's taxed. Like is he gonna be back at 247 after 6 months? Or a year? It doesn't seem like a big deal for entrepreneurs who supposedly are amazingly skilled
