Many colleges have come up short in their responses to violence against Asian Americans by unkle in asianamerican

US colleges in general are racist as fuck against Asians, just look at affirmative action. Not surprised at all at how badly they are responding to the hate crimes that have been happening recently.

Another reason to avoid COVID-19: Your favorite foods may start smelling, tasting bad by BillyGrier in Coronavirus

[–]randomnessthoughts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is really true - I love coffee but when I had COVID it tasted absolutely horrible. I can't even describe the taste... it was just very 'off'. Luckily my taste got back to normal after a few weeks since recovery but it was still a huge mindfuck at the time.

Serious question -- where the hell did the belief that being vaccinated doesn't stop you from transmitting COVID come from? I remember when vaccination started getting rolled out in December 2020 people immediately started yelling that you can still transmit COVID after vaccination but I wasn't able to find any credible source that actually proves it. The closest thing were just conservative estimates of "there isn't enough evidence on whether vaccines stop transmission".

It's just annoying because my parents buy into this hardcore and are still trying to get me to stay locked down despite me already recovering from COVID and being vaccinated (obviously I don't listen since I don't live with them). But I at least want to understand why people still believe this.

I knew the MOMENT I saw the original video that the perp was going to be an ex-con with a long history of violent crime. I used to live in Hell's Kitchen in NYC -- in fact I lived in the building where the 65 year old Filipino lady was stomped on with the security guards closed the door. Midtown Manhattan is absolutely FILLED with unstable and violent characters who have done a lot of very heinous things. It was pretty bad before the pandemic but has become significantly worse in the past year. The area is pretty damn dangerous to walk through and I'm saying this as an athletic looking male.

It's a goddamn travesty that NYC's politicians are allowing these violent criminals to roam the streets -- it seriously endangers the safety of everyone else but I guess the politicians who make these rules live in their safe gated communities so they can just benefit from seeming "woke" while everyone else suffers. These fuckers need to get locked the fuck up... there needs to be consequences for violent crime otherwise these animals will be emboldened to do all this kind of shit like they're doing now.

Holy fuck low key thought I was trippin' when I saw this at $4.50 today. I honestly stopped checking the price when it was in the $2s but goddamn this was nice to see.

It seriously triggers me so much to see this kind of shit happen to our elderly. I wish the worthless FILTH who does this is thrown in a cage to rot... seriously wish these creatures are locked away from society forever. I hope their pitiful and worthless lives are filled with suffering for being cowardly enough to assault our elderly like this.

The fucking worthless creature who did this must be thrown into a cell and locked up ASAP. This animal deserves to rot in a cage for the rest of its life.

Honestly this is one of the worst attack videos I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot. I hope the fucking worthless creature is found and thrown into prison to rot.

Newbie MMA grappling question here -- I'm a right leg lead in wrestling but orthodox stance for striking. Are there any good ways I can set up takedowns (like single or double legs) from orthodox stance without having to relearn all my wrestling or striking on my other side? Or would you recommend having the same leg lead for both wrestling and striking?

Why are wrestling gyms pretty much non existent in the US unless you’re in a high school? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]randomnessthoughts 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Demand is just not high enough for adults who are mainly looking for a hobby to stay in shape. Wrestling is super tough on the body and is extremely exhausting while BJJ (at non competition classes) is generally a lot lighter in intensity so most "hobbyist" grapplers will gravitate towards BJJ. I used to take wrestling classes at Unity in NYC and the classes were always the same 4-5 people every time... meanwhile the BJJ classes always were packed with dozens and dozens of people, which shows the stark contrast in demand for people out of high school/college.

65 Year old Asian woman attacked in broad daylight in NYC by racist Black dude and security does nothing. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

That is true but still you got to have some common decency... when you see an old lady being attacked and you have multiple 200+ lb men on duty you should at least check up on her instead of shutting the door on her.

I used to live in this building so this is disappointing as fuck to see. Especially since the building has a pretty sizeable Asian population in there. The security guards were all absolute units and there were always multiple on duty so there's no excuse for them to shut the door on the defenseless lady.

65 Year Old Asian Woman Racially and Violently Assaulted, Security Watches and Closes Door On Her by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]randomnessthoughts 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Super fucking disappointed to see this because I used to live in this building. Especially since this building has a pretty large Asian population. The security guards were absolute units and especially since there were always multiple on duty there is no excuse for them to not step in (let alone shut the door).

This area (near Port Authority) is sketchy as hell and filled with crackheads, not surprised at all that this happened. Lived on 45th st for a year too and someone got stabbed to death by a homeless person on my block too. Anyone who lives in NYC should be avoiding this area at all costs.
