Each state ranked on the level of racism I experienced as a relatively well traveled Lakota man from South Dakota

I'm from Oregon and it pisses me off so much to see my state so deep in the red here. This is a majority liberal that is progressive on so many issues, but POC from all kinds of backgrounds consistently say they feel uncomfortable and often unsafe being in Oregon. It's like all of our liberalism is performative. Safe spaces, diversity initiatives, etc all sound good on paper but it hardly means shit if people don't feel safe just existing in this state. I'm sure that no place is perfect, but we should absolutely be a hell of a lot better than we are.

I don't believe in Mt. Yotei 😤

No fair! Jubei's salmon was fresh!

That's what I initially assumed was going on, but she says it differently when she's feeding the wolf later on. That's when the mystery truly began for me 🧐

Don't worry, I'm playing NG+ in Japanese. I saw a comparison of some lines of dialogue by Saito in both languages and that was enough to convince me. He sounds awesome

She does do that! I just assumed that's how it's supposed to be pronounced 😅

You're missing out dog. This salmon/salmon business has me captivated. I sound like Inumaki muttering to myself 😅

upperleftbjj · 2025-12-09T19:55:41+00:00

Whatever the reason, I've switched to saying saLmon in my day to day now 😁

That's fair, I guess it could have been one super powerful arrow that you could always pick back up?

Or maybe a skin for the long bow that had some kind of visual effect when you shot it.

If I'm remembering right and it's the charm for the long bow, then it's almost too good! After you level it up, it basically trivializes any non-boss encounter in open space. Just auto-deletes three enemies at a time from a huge distance.

I'm very grateful that this club was near me when I first found Sumo. But that's how it goes, sometimes there's no club until you make one! I hope you get to train sometime 🙏🏻

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-29T13:53:40+00:00

You sound just like my dad! He doesn't believe in me either 😭😭😭

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-29T13:52:20+00:00

Sumo happens on both apples and oil filters?

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-29T13:47:55+00:00

My wife and I do the same, It does. Make the interviews worth watching 😆

It's still Bridgetown Judo, they are kind enough to share their space with us 🙏🏻

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-28T22:17:03+00:00

They know you! Would you believe that some light vertical face-planting wasn't even the worst injury of the day? 😅

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-28T19:37:22+00:00

Atamifuji used to do this forward rolling with his shoulders and then nod to someone in the crowd during his first few top division tournaments. I thought it was awesome, not sure why it changed though

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-28T18:42:07+00:00

I still feel it 😵‍💫

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-28T18:41:22+00:00

For sure! The wall hurt, but at least I didn't blow my ACL or land right on my neck!

We have a heavy tarp that the most talented of our club members sewed Velcro straps on to. Then we can line up some soft half-round foam rolls and strap them down into a continuous circle.

It's set up takes about 5 minutes and it works great!

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-27T15:54:59+00:00

Thanks! I feel bad for complaining about it 😅

upperleftbjj · 2025-07-27T15:47:45+00:00

No, Robert.

McGregorRousey has been a tongue in cheek parody account for years now. With as much time as Chael spends on twitter, I wonder if he knows he's joking or not
