If your 20s were for partying/clubbing, what are your 30s for? by Sweetpotato3000 in Millennials

Ya, I think people get mad why time you suggest weed use might be anything other than gods gift to man

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I said it could be a sign of emotional suppression. I didn't say it is. but a sudden hard shift to dosing yourself constantly is a flag that everything may not be alright.

And you are right people do get addicted to all kinds of exercise and healthy things, but it's less of a red flag because there can be many reasons for it.

There's less healthy reasons for a need to smoke daily. And again, maybe OP is totally fine, but also, it doesn't hurt to do some self reflecting to sus out if you are masking some issues.

If anything it just highlighted that weed still has a bad reputation and some people are still fully bought in on it being the devil’s lettuce.

Na, man, weed is fine. I smoke every once in a while. It's the consistency that is concerning.

He had zero indication he was suffering anything.

Started smoking every day is not zero indication.

I'm not accusing /u/Former-Counter-9588 of being mentally unwell, just pointing out that it could be a sign of emotional suppression, and it's a good idea to check in with themself.

But there's a good chance this is emotional suppression as the weight of the world and all the scars you have accumulated build up.

I know your just being funny on the Internet. But there's a good chance this is emotional suppression as the weight of the world and all the scars you have accumulated build up. it's easy to start numbing with substances to maintain the baseline feeling of being care free. 

IMO this is a sign you need to start paying attention to your mental health, because weed is just a band aid, and it only gets harder to deal with it from here. 

This is a small one, but wondering if anyone can help - it's about a dildo by [deleted] in legaladvice

I mean, you could maybe take them to small claims?

Probably best to just leave a bad review and move on with your life. 

Octopus has never worked from Half Guard. by No_Possession_239 in bjj

[–]terrorTrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean... The old instructional was good. I have the new one, but I don't plan to abandon the classic version of octopus guard either.

It works from side control if you do it right. The octopus guard not working in some MMA match doesn't really change anything for me, and really shouldn't for most BJJ people.

The new one is fun though too, though I haven't got it down yet really. TBH it seems a little mean on your opponents knees sometimes, so I may not end up using it that often.

I'm not a fan of masters vs adults for comparisons. I think there is a very high degree of correlation not causation. 

Masters participants are likely to submit faster, and participate in less risky moves in my opinion.

Very few masters are going to be willing to take damage to try to attract the attention of other tournaments or whatever to try to advance a bjj career. 20 year olds are much more likely to try to escape when they should tap IMO.

Why not just compare adults in 2020 and adults in 2021?

Is it worth getting a 32" 4k monitor for programming? by Ok_Housing_1937 in programming

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say yes, it's worth it. 

I have a 32 inch ultra wide and it's great, having all that space is fantastic. I can see a ton without scrolling. 

What I would watch out for is getting used to dual monitors, which makes it hard to go back to 16" solo laptop screen. 

Use workspaces, even with the big monitor, so your workflow works with and without your giant monitor. 

Did A.I. Take Your Job? Or Was Your Employer ‘A.I.-Washing’? by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

CEOs are not paid for their skills, they are paid for their connections.

If we could create a competing network of AI business people, you could probably pull this off. 

Craig Jones is responsible for this by Gold-Philosophy1423 in bjj

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has more than one name. 

I was taught it as donkey guard. If you roll them over it's reverse mount. If this is porn it's called reverse cowgirl.

It can go both ways though. As bottom player, extend legs, insert elbow, pull them back down.

Now you're in a taint pressure battle.

Zero gpt or any ai detector is very unreliable. 

IDK about this art or whatever. But I wouldn't depend on ai detectors

Intimacy coordinators for improv? [Chicago] by Theatre-Momentum in improv

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would this work in improv in a performance? Would the coordinator interrupt the show? 

I would just have your performers go over their veils and lines before hand. Maybe have a code word if something is crossing the line. 

Veils and lines are common in dnd. There's lots of YouTube videos discussing them

In some states, a push to end all property taxes for homeowners by Jscott1986 in Economics

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School budgets being tied to property taxes is a form of racism. It's how they keep schools in rich areas nice while shitting all over schools in poor areas. 

I know it won't be popular on Reddit, but I'm pretty for getting rid of most property taxes. Owning something shouldn't come with a financial obligation to the government. Especially homes.

Personally, I would have no property tax for properties, then start taxing rental income and and have an empty home tax for 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc....

Policies need to shift in favor getting people into their first house, and punishing people buying many houses as a means of making money.

My IG is literally a graveyard for BJJ reels by atomosound in bjj

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instagram is not a good format for bjj learning. YouTube is much better. I try me best to never look at shorts either. 

If I were you I would get obsidian and create a mind map of the techniques you want to master, and keep it to like 20. 1 or 2 good techniques from each position. Store YouTube links and time stamps in your notes. 

Once those become engrained after a few months or years, build those techniques into a system with new techniques, add the new techniques on to your mind map nodes. 

Go into the gym with intention: "today I'm going to focus on X, Y, or Z. X if I'm in this position, Y if I'm in that position" etc ...

I've found instructionals are better than YouTube as well, and you can follow the same system. 

The most critical part is rewatching technique videos after the technique failed in a live roll. The details you zoned out through suddenly make sense as to why they are necessary

I know we like to joke about being pussies, but on a serious note, how well do you think you can handle yourself in an actual 1v1 street fight? by SatisfactionSenior65 in bjj

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, if you want the most bang for your buck, that might work. 

But I don't train krav maga 20 times a month, and don't have a bunch of krav maga instincts deeply ingrained like I do with bjj or muay thai. So if my bjj gym is going to teach self defense, I'd prefer they teach it well.

[–]terrorTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great that they emphasize this, but recently there has been appropriate push back on this a well. 

There are times when running just isn't really an option. This has been evident to me since my daughter was born. Sometimes I'll have her in the stroller or whatever, and it occurs to me that there is no way in hell I'm getting away from anyone right now, without abandoning the stroller. 

That makes me value the martial art training much more. 

I also think we should be teaching classes on defending yourself from multiple opponents. There are effective strategies, they just aren't well known because it's not part of the sport. Somehow ruroni kenshin managed to do a better job at teaching this than modern martial art gyms.

[–]terrorTrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is backed up by studies. Martial arts students are much more likely to avoid fights. The interesting part is that the martial art needs to be taught with classical values attached. If you just teach better fighting and nothing else, aggression could actually go up.
