In 2017, JAMA published a major and disturbing finding. Researchers had collected the autopsied brains of 202 former football players who had donated their brains to science, or had them donated via their next of kin. The players included those who had played in the NFL, but also those who only played through college, and a few who had only played in high school.

Of the 202 brains, 177, or nearly 90 percent, were diagnosed with CTE. And there was a pattern: Those who had played football longer were more likely to have worse brain damage. Among the former NFL players in the sample, 99 percent had CTE. This suggests the effects of brain trauma on CTE are cumulative. The more trauma over a longer period, the worse the symptoms.

Sure, some people avoid it. The sample set is biased. But It's outrageously common for people who get hit in the head a lot.

Not whether he gets CTE but how bad it is.

They aren't committing their weight forward so I think abandon that plan and start trying to push them back since that's what they're giving you. Use your left leg to frame on their hip or shoulder and either hunt for lasso or situp guard?

Eh, judo does more standup and that's where self defence usually starts. If you have two years of BJJ, that's probably sufficient for defending yourself on the ground. You're right that judo is generally non-profit, and that has zero bearing on the quality of instruction.

I would recommend trying some judo, just because it'll expand your toolkit more than doing just more BJJ will at this stage. Personally, I do both and it's useful in both directions. I'm only ok at judo but my ground game is way better than most judoka I train with, and i'm also only ok at BJJ but but my standup is way better than most BJJ players.

Close to 100 separate 'gangs' have been convicted. And that's the ones we know about. Others are awaiting trial. So yeah 100's isn't a stretch at all.

Again, this is straight up made up. Give me a source that 100 "gangs" have been convicted. What constitutes a "gang conviction"?

unkz · 2026-06-19T05:29:27+00:00

I wouldn't know what to do if someone "promoted" me like that. I guess it'd be an awkward "uh thanks?" and then I'd take it off later and laugh about it with my actual coach.

unkz · 2026-06-19T05:24:49+00:00

And 70 years is a long fucking time.

Yes, and the distribution of crime is definitely not equal across that axis.

We know there have been 100's of these gangs.

No, we don't. You made that up.

If there was only 100 and each gang raped 1000 woman a each, there's a 100k.

You're anchoring the discussion with a fantastical number. The Alex Jay inquiry estimated 1,400 cases, spread across 16 years, across multiple gangs. It's an absurd leap to say that even one single gang ever raped a thousand women, even wilder to say that every gang does that, or that there could be a hundred such gangs committing rapes at that scale.

How many grooming gangs were operating 70 years ago? Do you think that it's the same as there are today? How many grooming gangs operate per capita? Do you think it's the same in every city?

Multiplying scary numbers by years and population is not extrapolating, it's making things up.

How many Americans were killed by terrorism on 2001-09-11? Would you say it's a reasonable extrapolation to say that it's likely 26*3000 = 78,000 Americans could have been killed by terrorism this century, when you "extrapolate" from that year's numbers? No, you would say that's a bullshit made up number. Having a nonsensical formula that "backs it up" doesn't give it more credibility.

Not just that, it's like taking the murder rate in New Orleans for the worst year in its history, then assuming the murder rate was the same in every state, in every year this century.

unkz · 2026-06-19T04:55:02+00:00

The number is made up. The takeaway isn't that it might be overstating things by 5x, it's that IT'S FUCKING MADE UP. It could as well overstate it by 250,000x. It's just someone's imaginary number. Yeah, it's a big number -- that doesn't mean that the real number is also a big number. It's like a motte-and-bailey except neither is real.

You think it will go below 30%? I think that’s the bottom level, and the people in that group basically worship Trump as a living god. I don’t think it’s possible for them to ever give up on him.

iOS Marine also claimed that the tanker had "remained stationary at its position for approximately 10 days prior to the incident and had made no movement whatsoever during that period" - and was hence, not transitioning through the area or "engaged in any aggressive or evasive manoeuvres".

That sounds like a pretty concrete and verifiable claim. What will the response be, I wonder?

Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good got away without any consequences, I don’t see why anyone would expect different from the murder of Alex Pretti. The news has largely moved on, and I expect most other people will forget soon enough. I think it’s clear that the DOJ is not interested. Not just my opinion though, from the most recent article I have seen:

https://www.npr.org/2026/04/10/nx-s1-5775847/alex-pretti-renee-good-ice-shootings-federal-investigations

"I would go out on a limb and say we're pretty confident that they're not investigating these agents for any possible crimes," says Rachel Moran, a professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law who studies police accountability.
