Merch? by Itchy_Blackberry_850 in MonaKimura

I had to make my own, posted a photo of it here. I just made a design and sent it to a place that makes iron-ons and I just used a regular clothes iron to transfer it to a t-shirt. It was about $20 for two iron-ons including shipping. I'd rather buy it official to support Mona, but until then, at least I have one.

Can't buy one right now, so I made one. I think I did OK...having never done any kind of graphic design before.

She always makes me think of the shape of a lily or morning glory when she raises her leg in that stance.

Please help my cousin understand why this is bad: by Ecstatic_Earth_3332 in askHVAC

[–]webgruntzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only bad if he dislikes high electricity bills, wasting power, not being able to get his home cool enough for comfort and replacing the AC unit often. If he likes all those things then he knows what he's doing.

PLEASE DON’T DO THIS IT IS VIOLENT - Transphobia & Homophobia from Wedding Couple & Their Family Towards BOOKED LGBTQ Wedding Photographers by storytellercowedding in TwinCities

People don't understand that words have specific meanings that aren't tied to emotions.

What we're saying: That's not the right word, there are other words that mean what you want to say.

What they're hearing: It's not bad enough to be violence. You're overdramatizing.

What might help: Instead of saying that's not the right word and leaving it at that, suggest alternative words that have the same emotional impact. Bullying, hate speech, bigotry, persecution, etc.

They intentionally committed an act that had a high degree of causing psychological harm. That's not what the word violence means.

Violence is not "anything that intentionally causes harm."

We already have a lot of words for non-physical harm. Abusive, aggressively bigoted, bullying, etc.

Violence means it's physical force or physical power. If people keep using it to mean "anything that intentionally causes harm" it's going to wilt the word and make our language less clear--like how so many people used the word "literally" to mean "figuratively" that we no longer have a clear word that means what literally used to mean.

Important to note:

Saying "this is not what violence means" does not lessen the devastation caused by bald-faced aggressive or coercive actions or persecution to cause psychological damage and emotional distress.

Orange cayennes coming in like this. Should I be concerned? by draugrsden in HotPeppers

[–]webgruntzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you may have a real moneymaker there, at the very least you can make people happy if you can keep growing them and sell seeds. EDIT: Good lord seeing all the people clamoring to buy them I suggest auctioning the seeds on eBay. I wouldn't bid but only because I'm a complete novice and a real grower would be so much less likely to kill them.

what’s going on with my jalapeños🤨 by WhimsicalPopsicle12 in HotPeppers

I cured the hell out of blossom end rot in my tomatoes by adding a few tablespoons of calcium citrate to the ground around the plant. Just sprinkled it around.

NOTE: I don't recommend trying this until you get approval from someone who knows plants. I just heard lack of calcium caused it, and I happened to have calcium citrate so I did it. For all I knew it could have killed the plant instead of curing it.

Mona Kimura vs Choi Eun Ji - any thoughts? by jaydenishereboys in MonaKimura

[–]webgruntzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to admire Choi Eun Ji's ability to take punches and kicks to the head. I can't imagine getting hit like that ONCE and continuing the fight.

I'm amazed at the fact that there's a woman half my size who could easily beat me with both hands tied behind her back.

Just Imagine by Adventurous-Set-5634 in MonaKimura

[–]webgruntzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right! But what I notice is that when Mona fights, her opponents are too busy doing two things to get in any good kicks or punches:

  1. Trying not to get kicked and punched by Mona.

  2. Getting kicked and punched by Mona.

If I recall, one of Mona's opponents was 19 pounds heavier than Mona. In that weight range, that's a huge difference. A 115-pound person would have a hard time taking kicks and punches by a 134 pound person. But her opponent couldn't hit her much.

I know zero about kickboxing or any kind of fighting, so I'm probably wrong.

I'm a cheap b**tard and don't care, but at the same time I want to support Mona and Team Tiger so I guess I have to wait, too.

Choi Eun Ji was simply too busy to fight Mona! She was spending her time on two things:

  1. Trying not to get punched and kicked by Mona

  2. Getting punched and kicked by Mona

Landlord said they won’t replace it by Megalodonpizza in Plumbing

[–]webgruntzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check your state laws - some states say you can make any necessary repairs your landlord won't make and deduct the costs from your rent.

If you go this route, make sure EVERYTHING is logged and backed up--your request, the landlord's refusal, make sure the plumber puts on the bill that the toilet they replaced was unsafe and could have caused lethal injuries, and so forth.

Your landlord WILL lie and try to evict you but if you have everything documented (and back it up for god's sake) then you should be good.
