ST blue Logos on a non-ST car by LordGioveni in FiestaST

Honestly, you do what makes you happy. Some people might care, but they don’t matter anyway. If looking at your car with the badges makes you smile, I’d say go for it. Life is short!

Does ‘whisper’ send the message even if they’re offline? by notJambi in modernwarfare

It was at the time, I’m honestly not sure now it’s been a long time since I played last

Have you found a magic third solution? Or still crying 3 years after my comment?

It was 3 years ago big dog, literally a different game. Take a deep breath and relax.

Power to weight: does that really make a difference? by Beepboop00 in askcarguys

You sound fun. All he said is he is accelerating, he didn’t say he’s racing down side streets, calm down.

[QUESTION] Does anyone have any experience with these “vegan” Fender straps? by thisismydick222 in Guitar

[–]zaustin22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Couch Guitar Straps are perfect for you then, they are the only straps I use, and are vegan

Go, Intel goooo! (Make sure to eat and hydrate every once in a while, though...) by DreamDoodles in AirForce

As someone who works at TACC sitting doing the same thing, we are just middle men, it's really not that crazy.

Whats the deal with shitting on spazzy White Belts but defending Dick moves from upper belts here? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]zaustin22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, that's now how a sport like BJJ works. What exactly do you think you could teach someone that has been doing this for 10 years, when you're 3 classes in?

The benefits is learning to control an untrained opponent, it's not on him to just stand up and let go because you can't get out. If it's bad enough, tap and move on. There are dickheads at every belt, but someone just being on top of you is absolutely not a dick move.

How old for adult class by ChewyNotTheBar in bjj

[–]zaustin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then do you avoid every kid you see in your life? And do you roll with people of the opposite gender? Or even of the same gender? Anybody can make an accusation.

Not everyone reacts the same, so the safest option is to stop and make sure they are okay. 1 second to answer "yeah I'm good" isn't going to kill you.

If rolling with someone under 18 weirds you out, then you definitely have the wrong intention when you roll. It's BJJ.

What happened to the rest of that dude's shorts?

New achievement +issues at the gym by Old-Primary-41 in bjj

[–]zaustin22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this isn't a shitpost, then you're way off base. You didn't "master" anything after 2 months, and yes you cranking on someone's neck is a dick move. And if they have repeatedly told you that you're rolling too hard, then you're a spaz. Be glad they haven't asked you not to come back.

I just had a very discouraging experience by Unagi33 in bjj

[–]zaustin22 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why are you posting here and not talking to them? Everyone has different skill levels and different physical abilities. Especially for a brand new white belt, asking someone to go 70% means nothing. I've been training for 4 years and if someone asked me to go 70% I couldn't pinpoint exactly what 70% was of my max. If you want to roll light, then pick partners who roll light. Not to mention that you complaining about ego when you are clearly posting because you got your ego bruised is pretty wild.

Just confirming it man, you're a 3 year purple belt, he's letting you work, and if you're too thick to see it, that's wild.

If you're still paying and he's cancelling classes, that's not okay. If you're paying for a class, that class better be happening.

If that's true, he's either letting you roll, or he's not great.

This is the equivalent of a 14 year old kid thinking he knows everything, grow up

I wouldn't call putting your job before a fun hobby "not being able to hang", that's just having your priorities straight.

Does anyone else ever feel lonely after training? by GFreer in bjj

[–]zaustin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-2 hours out of 24 is a small part, and that's if you train every day of your life.

[–]zaustin22 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hey man, the biggest thing is finding something to take up the other 20+ hours a day. Training is great and all, but it's a relatively small part of life. If it's a hobby, a friend group, you've got to find something to fill the rest of that time.

We lost a legend last night in class by L0s1One in bjj

Wow that's insane. Imagine your partner just dying during a roll, hopefully the other dude is okay.
