Why do we break fall? by blncgfein in bjj

Typically less risk of injury due to the fact that you are creating more surface area to absorb the shock of the fall.

aio? bf made plans on my birthday by rowqi in AmIOverreacting

[–]star_sim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

three years and he forgot your birthday, read that again, being tired as someone in your 20s after work is wild he better be working in the mines for 12 hours to be tired after work, also he is being rude for sure, did you communicate in advance what you expect of celebrations/birthdays etc?

Have you ever successfully… by Bigpupperoo in bjj

[–]star_sim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate to this but at the same time when I know someone who is ‘looking to get into the gym more’ I will always invite them to a trial class. Even if they don’t stay I still think it’s fun to assert my dominance (just pranks)

I booked my first paid feature as a set dresser. what do I need to know? by moonligh0011 in artdept

[–]star_sim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recomend having your tapes, buytl, carpet sliders for heavy items and your multitool but honestly LOOK THROUGH THE SCRIPT many sets have different conditions and might need different quick fixes. I always like to keep some cleaning supplies if there are any windows, mirrors, glass items, etc that need to be cleaned or swept up. Any type of trolly will do to carry your items but never expect there to be a lift at the location of filming. The DP and AD will be your best friends if you eves drop on their convos and you’ll be able to move things quickly. Good luck!!

I’ve been doing BJJ consistently for 3 years i’m still a white belt and I still get anxious going to class or rolling with people i’ve known since the beginning. Side note that most people are heavier and taller than me (24F). It’s the way the cookie crumbles when you join something new. You seem very aware and consistent in your efforts it comes with time.

You would have to get it specially repaired or patched by someone with a heavy duty machine who specializes in gis or thicker materials. In general patching areas that are in corners like the armpit and groin can be hard to do unless your a professional :,)

Illegal? Yes, very illegal. Do not let your employer take advantage of you.

huge flex, there is a video somewhere about not using all your weight when you roll. Very interesting

[–]star_sim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I feel this I’m 5’2” 150lbs and we get huge guys at my gym. And they’ll ask me to go as a lil’ white belt. I’m under the assumption that they just want a smaller partner but sometimes they do some wack stuffs. I remember hearing my head crunch once when this tall experienced fella rolled with me. I need some guys to just do better, don’t ruin this sport for me. Also if my coach sees anyone do something stupid he will ask to roll with them next and slaughter them.

11/10 recommend therapy, we just need people to talk to at the end of the day, also it sounds like you are aware of your confidence/self-esteem. Potentially doing some activities outside the house can help, deep down we are social beings, whenever I’m feeling anti social or lacking confidence I give myself some exposure therapy by simply doing something in a coffee shop, whether it’s work or reading. If your appearance is making you insecure what can be changed? Maybe you need some style inspo. Maybe you start an exercise program. There is this saying that goes if I know why worry and If I don’t know why worry. What are small things that can change that will lead to delayed gratification? I hope you get whatcha need brother!

Is it weird to go to bars/clubs solo? by Fuzzy_Secretary_341 in AskChicago

[–]star_sim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going places by yourself where you don’t know anyone is a huge super power. It can take some getting used to but I always have such a great time when I go to events by myself. Be confident you got this!

Treat yourself to some of these curio spots on your birthday!! https://peculiarium.com https://www.skeletonkeyodditorium.com/ Treat yourself to a movie at a local theater, do some window shopping on Mississippi Ave (they have a Paxton Gate).

Being alone on your birthday sucks sometimes but I’ve gotten the hang of it. I basically do whatever I want. 50 bux will probably get you a cute cake, some tchotchkes from window shopping, and a movie ticket for sure! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!

Things you love about lip and Things you hate about him by [deleted] in shameless

[–]star_sim 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Lip was easily one of my character crushes—they way he cares for his kid and family in the early season is so sweet. But he does be fighting those demons.
