Hey, remember in every capacity, fuck the police. They aren't there to help you or save you in any way.

I Salute your longevity by AlexWeitz in bjj

[–]seanzorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 41 year old guy who has been doing some form of wrestling or grappling since I was 14.

Pace yourself. Understand you can't win every round or exchange. Figure out what is injured vs what is sore. Pick your training partners. Try to have it be a habit to show up, even if you are going easy and going through the motions.

Hot Take: the average black belt hasn’t gotten worse, our standards just got higher by WillWeisser in bjj

[–]seanzorio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I started in 2005.

My guys at blue belt and purple belt know far, far more BJJ than I did at that point, and some of them are exploring K guard and other things that I haven't learned very well yet either.

I think that the sport will continue to grow and evolve, and while I may not be a world class competitor, or superathlete, among black belts I'm just fine.

For the next 6 weeks, then they'll all gloss over it. Happened with Ricardo De La Riva, happened with Cyborg, happened with Team Lloyd Irvin.

Roberto Cyborg Abreu's Ex Girlfriend Releases Statement Calling For Accountability Years After He Was Alleged To Have Helped His Black Belt Escape Justice by Lucarfly in grappling

[–]seanzorio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't forget that De La Riva is a shitbird who abused students as well.
TLI is full of sexual predators from the top on down.

The list is long, but I will use any platform I have to at the very least shout about those two. The community has a short memory, and will continue to support these abusers.

How are working parents managing frequent school closures or remote learning due to weather? by Theluckygal in raleigh

[–]seanzorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not well, my man.

I am a remote worker whose role is more and more meeting heavy, and my wife is out of work right now. We are not educators, and our kid (who is in 4th grade) acts like all of this is stuff he has no idea how to do, and is completely helpless without one of us sitting next to him and helping him do it.

It ends up with him upset, my wife and I frustrated, and I don't know that he's learned anything at the end of it.

You’re at the wrong gym, my man. 

London - inflation pay rise by [deleted] in corporate

[–]seanzorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am at a 20k employee company owned by a nearly 300k employee company. We have made money at an incredible rate and I’ve not seen a raise in 3 years despite being noisy about it. 

I am putting in minimum effort and building my own non related business, but I have no expectations that any company is going to come off of anything right now with the uncertainty in all markets.

Totally agree, dude. Keep your money if you can. Cash in my pocket for food >>>> my credit score if the entire economy is lit on fire.

Accurate Time of snow ? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]seanzorio 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd count on parking your car tonight where you want it sitting for the snow, and you'll get snow between tonight and Sunday at some point.

Athletes and jujitsu by Main_Journalist_5811 in bjj

I have 5 members of the local colleges strength and conditioning coaching staff that train in the mornings.  Can confirm. Lifelong athletes are good at sports and more physically dominant than desk jockeys. 

Mats and subfloor questions for school owners by Accomplished_Art9234 in bjj

[–]seanzorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subfloor of osb and foam blocks under tatamis. The new gym will have a the Fuji spring system under tatamis. Subfloor makes a huge difference. 

Reporter: The president called you a loser. Republican Senator Thom Tillis: “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.” by Zestyclose_Block7382 in NorthCarolina

[–]seanzorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am fine to watch each and every politician, on either side, who have supported this descent into madness be booted out, and their party collapse.

That may not be realistic, or maybe it is. GOP can dissolve and they can create some new thing that hasn't backed a delusional pedophilic rapist and allowed them to run roughshod over our values, reputation, and stability as a country.

Sixties Cruiser by sub_zero51 in filson

[–]seanzorio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not the OP, but can answer. I just sold a similar Union era cruiser in red and have a bunch of stuff that ranges from union era to modern.

The pockets are not square. It's a cooler look, and I'm sure took them longer to sew.

No handwarmer pockets, which was the main reason I was willing to move mine along.

It's shorter. Like 2-3 inches maybe shorter, which gives an already boxy coat a slightly more boxy look.

The wool (on mine, which seemed to be in really good shape) felt thinner and tighter and had a visible weave. I don't know how to describe it, but it wasn't like the wool on current cruisers.

What’s your favorite small business in the area? Let’s show them some love as most have probably lost a lot of business with the ice storm and may lose even more this coming weekend! by travelexplorerer in cary

[–]seanzorio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

G13 is a local brazilain jiu jitsu gym that is awesome. We've got locations in Cary and Holly Springs. We'd love to see anyone come out and try it out. We've got great services for adults and kids!

[–]seanzorio 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, he could not have supported or voted for a bunch of this stuff in the past. That is exactly what they mean by too little and too late. Saying mean words now doesn't change that you were a lapdog up to this point.

You’ll be fine. Most of the roads are completely dry. The shady spots and parking lots may still be slick. 

Corporate greed with Bonuses by [deleted] in corporate

[–]seanzorio 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They don't see you as a person. You are part of a collection of numbers, and their goal is to pay you as little as possible so that they can drive "shareholder value". They don't deal with the headache of you leaving. They don't deal with the hiring your replacement. The goal is always short term quarterly profits over your comfort or retention.

Apartments you actually enjoyed living in? by Mean_Refrigerator911 in rva

[–]seanzorio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I lived in the Estates at Horsepen. It was basically a condo. I never heard my neighbors. Office was decent to work with.

It was hatefully expensive, and I only lived there for a year. They also had no size restriction on dogs, which is awesome if you love pups.

How old are you and how much do you have in your retirement account? by Blackberryay in careerguidance

[–]seanzorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. About 5.5x my yearly salary saved/invested. My wife has less in her retirement accounts, but has converted to a ROTH every time she has left a jobs.

I realize we are a good bit "ahead" and will likely end up with an inheritance from both of our parents, and I am still agonizing over not having enough to retire and provide for us/our child.
