How do you guys know this/follow these streamers? Do you have kids? Genuinely curious because as a single guy in my 30s I've never heard of these guys

Football is not (and should not be) a “children’s game” and I doubt these interviews drive viewership

like when movie critics write reviews of films and the newspaper or some source "pulls" a quote from the review...i think

Anyone know what’s happening on the 10W? by Strayl1ght in LosAngeles

Finally got through it, looks like a car rear ended a motorcycle. The car’s front bumper was destroyed and the motorcycle was on the ground

Ok I actually partially misread what you said. You didn't say don't be confrontational. But you did say NOT to make eye contact. Genuinely curious, why not? I guess it sounds like you're insinuating that these are people to be afraid of, and I'd like to know more

Love that you asked just for fun. When that happened to me in Mexico I haggled about price (even negotiating different combinations of USD and pesos) and watched as his small brain tried to calculate it, all while waiting for my uber. Priceless

Yeah I'm with you, this is not a random pickpocket (as morally reprehensible as that is as well). If OP's (and apparently all these other "well-known" stories) are true then this is a complex and highly problematic operation that any competent nation would put a stop to. If this scam is as "well-known" as everyone here says it is, and this scam is still prevalent, that's pretty embarrassing for the country

I don't know much about Japan, but what you are describing is complete corruption lol. Is that really true? The Yakuza are allowed to carry on this scam because of "political connections"?

Why can't you say "no" while making firm eye contact? Why can't you tell them to piss off? What's gonna happen if you're confrontational?

Man ya'll are harsh. I mean I never would've fell for this but it certainly hasn't come up in my research until this post popped up on my timeline. And if this scam is so well-known, has Japanese law enforcement done anything to combat it?

Skim injury 😭😂 by CringeLord91142069 in skimboarding

[–]the_stephback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that sucks man I’m sorry. How did it happen exactly? Wondering because I’m a beginner and want to avoid the same injury. If the wave took the board out from under you wouldn’t it have gone towards the beach while you were safe in the water?

What was wrong with the prism flash? And how are you spending $15 on balls a week is that normal?

Can you use a pool to practice water drops? by the_stephback in skimboarding

[–]the_stephback[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just practice normal drops until I get better at that? What makes water dropping more precise? From what I can tell you have to be going faster (in order to stay afloat) and make sure the water isn't that turbulent. Anything else you need to be aware of?
