  • Take some deep breaths, someone is trying to be helpful here, not condescending.

    Besides, they gave the amount in $, which kind of implies US.

    Actually, on second thought, do kinkshame this.

  • I've luckily only had some broken bones, and there were not that bad. Like, sure, it sucked, but I could limp home with a broken arm, and even after surgery, I could leave the bed and go to the toilet with only non-opiate painkillers. I'd imagine "ten" is "one step from being unable to speak coherent words", so quite a bit higher.

  • Good point.

    It took me a while to understand why a lot of self-defence-focussed jiu-jitsu reminded me of Aikido so much, instead of more "efficient" styles.

    But it makes sense for the intended purpose: you don't want to immediately punch someone into the next time zone for being loud and pushy at the bar, or for touching you in a way they see as bold and you see as creepy. But a twisted joint communicates "do this again and it hurts more" pretty well, yet doesn't do long-term harm or cross the line into excessive violence

  • Everything this side of a real life or death fight has rules, so I don't think people could ever test stuff without limits.

    Or rather, the number of people who agree on a no rules fight is self-regulating...

  • Honestly, more people should do martial arts. Fuck, I should go and do some martial arts. It is great to release steam by "beating up" a consenting partner.

  • I like the concept of MMA as a sport. Creating a loose ruleset and encouraging people of different backgrounds to experiment is a great way to see what works and what doesn't.

    That said, I personally don't like full-contact striking. Not in boxing, not in MMA, not in other sports. If people consent to do that, sure, have fun. But I don't see the appeal of getting TBI to prove a point, and I don't enjoy watching it.

    There are, IMHO, ways to compete in a "close enough" fashion while reducing the risks, whether by agreeing on going light to the head and have the ruleset emphasise points for effective hits or by using equipment.

    Regarding the UFC... Big US evil media company just like all the others, I guess. I wouldn't give them my money, even before all the political mess.

  • Both statements can be true at the same time: The vast majority of men aren't rapists, and the vast majority of rapists are men. That is, unfortunately, how statistics work.

  • Is anyone just like... very terrified of losing your memories?

    Jump

  • As someone with shitty memory: I forget a lot. Whole holidays, people, what I ate yesterday... I have always been that way, and so far I've been doing quite ok in life.

    But while I forgot how it felt in a past, shitty job, I don't forget how I promised myself to never work for such a boss again. Or how 16-year old me decided to stay in school aftet trying out metalworking over a summer. I may forget how it was, but I rarely forget what conclusion I drew from it. And that is what defines me as a person, not that I remember the face of my condescending, stupid boss.

    Also, while it sucks, my life is my present. My past might be entirely hallucinated, and I might be hit by a bus tomorrow. But now, here, I am alive.

  • You have $10,000 to make your town/city a better place to live. What do you do with the money?

    Jump

  • From some unrelated nonprofit experience, companies seem way more cool with discounting goods and services than donating money. Probably something to do with contribution profit margin, where selling some more at a loss is still better as it covers some costs you have anyway. That plus creative tax write offs, and they probably earn money from giving you a huge discount AND feel good about it / get free PR

  • Absolutely. I am very fortunate to have very supportive parents, both financially and interpersonally, but they told me and my brother after school, in very clear terms, to learn a job that can pay the bills. For me, learning a trade, where you need to show up every morning, on-time, sober, wearing a clean t-shirt and smelling okay, probably saved me from becoming like your friends. Sadly, that ship has sailed for your friends. Now, pulling themselves out of their hole will be harder for them. I don't really have good advice.

  • You are a good person for caring, and as long as you take care about your own wellbeing, there is nothing wrong with trying to get someone to be a better person. Imagine it like this: If you were helping a human who fell into drug addiction and homelessness recover, would you be a good or a bad person? The only difference here is the circumstances of your friends being more comfortable.
