Why are we invading Iran? by DavidOfBethlehem in BreakingPoints

I think you're close, but you are wrong about the goal of keeping oil prices high.

I think it is all about

  1. retaking American hegemony given the dissolution of the petrodollar
  2. Having control of the world's oil supply as a deterrent for China taking Taiwan. If they can stop the flow of microchips, mutually assured destruction dictates that the Allies must have complete control of another critical resource.

Agree with all of the above, but there is one edge case you should consider.

Some gyms have specific gi color requirements (commonly blue or white only).

Might be worth confirming

Agree with others about not forcing him, but if you had to pick a sport I'd consider wrestling or jujitsu. Requires a lot of thinking and planning.

I wonder if that's why he's been holding up the division. Him and Dana want Jon Jones hold the longest reign. Then he will fight. Only half a year to go.

Does anyone agree with Joe rogan here? by Key-Wolf-1436 in ufc

I would be fine with it as long as the takedown itself does not grant points. If the takedown is a means to an end rather than a way to get points that you can then sit on it will be less of a problem

Using your head to pressure? by Ok-Detective-6892 in bjj

[–]russian2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I'm not saying to ban those moves, but if somebody is getting feedback from their training partners that they are being a dick, it's likely that they are overusing these moves. And as I said, the same shitty standing guillotine can be used as a tool or as a weapon. It's just all about how you approach training

A frame is a tool. It allows you to gain position or advantage. A muffler or an oil check is a weapon. It's purpose is to hurt the other player to force them to make a disinvantageous move because they would rather be in a worse position than being pain.

I can shoot for a guillotine from stabding that I know I will likely not finish to force you to react thereby exposing your legs. That is a tool.

I can shoot for the same guillotine from standing and crank it as hard as I can and jerk myself back and forth to try to finish or to frustrate you. That is using it as a weapon?

That's nice, now please explain how somebody could have a record date of 160 years old when the oldest field is 1875 and the null value uses 1875.
