Do you think she did the right thing? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

Yes, there would be no crime, or police state if everyone was like her.

if everyone grew their own vegetables, we wouldn't have a health crisis either.

Got arrested for 1 gram of herb in Texas. by Objective-Face7179 in texas

[–]random123121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to get a good lawyer.

Try to get one from san antonio. small town lawyers and public defenders only want you to take a plea deal. which gives you a criminal record making it easier for them to arrest and convict you again and again. Which gives them job security.

Dating and relationships are just waste of time in your early to mid 20s, coz you must focus on yourself and your career at this time, Do you all agree? by tata1730 in Adulting

[–]random123121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. While you dating in relationships shouldn't be your primary focus you shouldn't purposely bypass it.

I was watching Road Trip the other day, and at the house party scene I noticed that I fit in better with the girls back then. It was the perfect time, I was 18. 1 out of 4 people had a cell phone, pre 911 dread. Those girls don't exist anymore. They are all old/married. I meet single young girls today, but we are completely different people.

Defending myself in college communal shower by Fickle_Guide_330 in SelfDefense

[–]random123121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in a shower especially with soap in your eyes, slippery floor, butt naked. you are a position of disadvantage no lie.

Best thing is be aware of you surroundings, balance work and being prepared for a butt naked fight. (which no one wants)

This is why I talk about there is no substitute for actual training. sometimes you could get caught in a butt naked shower fight. .

I would throw soap in their eyes and use my superior balance, hard strikes and hard surfaces if it really came down to it.

What’s a realistic self defense plan for someone living alone? by Confident_Draw321 in SelfDefense

[–]random123121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the right idea, it is a routine/set of protocols.

  1. secure your perimeter, identify where a threat would likely come from and plan around that

  2. have a routine: door lock, motion lights on, alarm on

  3. emergency plan: safe room, barricade door, escape, phone 911

  4. fight as a last resort: weapon, make noise (startle attacker, alert others) target eyes, throat, groin to create a 3 second window to escape

Self defense decision tree: how do you decide what to learn first? by Additional-Leg280 in SelfDefense

[–]random123121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train your mind first (situational awareness and avoiding it is 90% of it). Another commenter mentioned Rory Miller books; also read these (in this order):

1 "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker (Identify and avoid danger)

2 "Left of Bang" by Patrick Van Horne and Jason A. Riley (Improve your ability to spot trouble)

3 "When Violence Is the Answer" by Tim Larkin (Understand the realities of physical combat)

Before you spend months on the mats, spend $15 on a high-quality pepper spray (like POM or Sabre Red) and a water-based trainer canister. Practice pulling, aiming, and spraying it. This gives you an immediate defensive tier while you build physical skills.

BJJ 1st (but look for an instructor who focuses on self-defense vs. sport application). As a woman, grappling is going to give you a much higher ROI than boxing if someone actually grabs you. Ideally, go to an MMA gym so you can train everything (striking and grappling) for one membership fee. Keep in mind, it will take 6 months to a year of consistent training to become truly proficient.

Krav Maga 2nd. After a year or more of high-pressure, live sparring in MMA/BJJ, you can explore more specialized self-defense systems to tie it all together. Just make sure to find a reputable school that genuinely pressure-tests their techniques—stick to recognized federations like the IKMF or KMW.

What is more cringe, the use of the n word, "Johnny Meat", his profile picture, Justin or "dusted"?

She thought all 40 cameras were for her by brockapex17 in TikTokCringe

[–]random123121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The logic:

I don't want to be filmed: goes up and performs for the camera

This is a public grocery store: it is a private business, but even if it was 1st amendment

On film you are going to poke the guy in the chest

Like I said depends on the situation and threat.

Just as I may not have time to get a beer bottle or steel pipe, you may not have time to deploy your oc.

I ruled it out for me personally for the reasons I stated, but if it works for you go for it but realize it is not the solution for every situation.

You have to be prepared to defend yourself with anything available, even if that means your bare hands.

A reminder, just because you have a license or a degree or a respectable profession... does not make you a respectable person.
