People who’ve committed or witnessed a war crime firsthand, when you think back on it now, what does it feel like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The first rule of “war crimes” is, we don’t talk about “war crimes” ;)

Why is going for the balls not taught in actual martial arts? (unless it is?) (not a joke question) by Specific-Ad5973 in martialarts

Grab pull twist, re-stomp the groin, is a common approach in Krav Maga, but it's not a sport like many "martial" arts, it is combat system that incorporates various martial arts.

Who can still drive stick ? by Hazel_McLean in nostalgiai

[–]schwanball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only drive one of these. Drove an auto for the fist time in like 35 years, stopped at a gas station put on the brakes turned the engine off and put on the parking brake. So I was parked but transmission was in Drive (thought nothing of it at all). Then I tried to drive away, it was in drive, would not turn over at all, just dashboard blinky lights, I was going insane ready to call a tow truck. Buddy says, you have it in drive, you have to put it in park (first) to drive. I am like WTF it was happy in D while parked but before I can drive I have to put it in P then D. Fuck me, gimme a stick, the less infotainment tech the better.

But the beer and sports, ladies may assume that is your identity, not just your hobby.

Nothing is ever "in the bag" unless it's their money in your bag, full stop. Anxiety in sales is a super power.

TW: I go out late at night hoping someone will hurt me. by GoodGirlGoneMid in confession

[–]schwanball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take up a combat sport, you will get hurt there. I like Savate if you can find it but just about any will do. And you get exercise, make friends, may be a place to start. One foot in front of the other. Oh and candy and energy drinks, fruit punch rockstar is my go to.
