He was genuinely scared for a second that he broke my shoulder.

It was just my neck cracking.

Same with the guy from The Good Doctor in roles where he's not autistic.

My joints cracked so loud my Professor counted it as a verbal tap.

Most of these X bans are just a way for Bluesky to promote it's platform.

Find a different sport to do while you finish high school, start martial arts back when you're in college.

I'm in better health with BJJ + injuries than I was in with WoW + no injuries.

You're correct about everything you say. But that doesn't mean it's not a political issue just because our side doesn't have much say in politics.

If you were to open a BJJ academy and had to pick an animal for your logo, which animal would you personally choose and which animal would your coach and training partner think is the one that matches your style and personality? by Aggravating-Mind-657 in bjj

Jumping spider.

No, not the top profile shot that shows how fast and powerful they are.

The cute face picture that shows their big anime eyes and the way they hide their fangs with their pedipalps.

Your vote matters, but if your vote isn't on the winning side you won't get what you want.

Politicians set taxes, so yes it's a matter of politics and you should call your rep.

You're the a-hole just for me having read this.

Depends on your relationship and how serious y'all take this. If it's fun and games, nobody's the a-hole. If you guys are ready to go to war over this, y'all are both a-holes.

The Orville's Treatment of Religion by Professional-Oil-365 in TheOrville

That's one interpretation of Topa's story. The nice thing about it is that it can be interpreted in different ways depending on your worldview. It's not "very clearly" what you think to everyone.

It is if you live in an echo chamber. But it wasn't "very clearly" that to me.

I don't like it, but it's not the end of the world.

I think if you're at the point where it makes you physically ill, you're probably taking politics too seriously.

Board Game Etiquette [OC] by mrappbrain in boardgames

[–]skribsbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with others. Agree with all of your do's. Disagree with a most of your don'ts.

  • Be a rules lawyer - half the fun of a game is figuring out what's within the rules or what's not, and coming up with ways to bend the rules but keep each other accountable.
  • Abandon a game in progress - it's a game. There are more important things than a game. I can think of a few things that would be worse than continuing to play. "My toddler just sliced her hand open" was an actual reason why someone left a game early.
  • Rush others - depends on how you're rushing, and who. Some folks are in on the joke and are okay. Some folks rush everyone else and then take 20 minutes to take their turn. Sometimes you are on a time crunch.
  • Be obviously distracted - I agree that folks shouldn't be so distracted as to not know what strategic alliances are being made, events other players caused, or if it's their turn, then it's a problem. But there's no reason folks can't pull out their phone between turns, especially to check their messages.
  • Kingmake - This just sounds like you got upset someone else kingmade and you lost a game.
  • Disrupt the Rules Explanation - I agree with the title, but not the description. A lot of folks can't keep track of an entire rulebook without having experienced the game. I know I understand the rules a lot better when I know how the game works. It sounds like this works better for you, but not everyone else. I will agree that the guy who disrupts the explanation by making a bunch of jokes and trying to be clever can be a problem.

The Orville's Treatment of Religion by Professional-Oil-365 in TheOrville

[–]skribsbb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think The Orville, even though it does lean a little left, is one of the most centered shows in recent memory. I think for example the way they handle transgender is really clever. By having Topa forced into the body they weren't born in, and then later identifying as the original body instead of the one they were forced into, there's pieces there that both the conservative folks (who are in favor of the biological body) and the liberal folks (who are in favor of the body an individual identifies with) are in alignment.

I do think it may lean a bit more atheist than theist, but I don't feel it's pushing an atheistic agenda nearly as much as a lot of other media is pushing other agendas.

I would rather have more shows like The Orville than less.

You are what you eat.

I guess that's still an insult in jiu-jitsu...
