I guess that’s just the intentional innuendo I use about it. If you look up bjj memes (or Craig Jones) you’ll find most people preempt the jokes insecure people might make about dressing up in lycra and wrestling with other sweaty men in a padded room.

Cool! Yeah, they also have Ringen which also can be nice! I tried sword fighting a couple of times but I don’t like the competition form of it (also I’m bad at it).

I do more than playfully wrestle with my friends. As I do BJJ. I actively try to choke them out or try to break their limbs or try to tear their ligaments apart. It’s very fun for all. Though while it’s open to anyone I do get most people wouldn’t enjoy it. It’s personally physical to the extreme since on top of the close physical contact you’re also sweating all over each other to the point sweat dripping in your eyes or mouth will statistically happen at least once.

Honestly if you feel like you miss playful fighting with friends, do a trial class of it.

The previous videos were too long for anyone who doesn’t want to obsess about this. And this one is more pragmatic about your detergent of choice and thus more palatable for people who aren’t already fans of his.

It’s also takes him less time to make videos like this according to the messages on his patreon.

Personally I’m a fan of him remaking some videos like this. I can get my family to watch this a lot easier.

The people that agree with Musk, think climate change is fake and that if it were real electric cars would polute more than ice cars.

You can buy versions of it that don’t smell like eggs, though they never smell good. That it turns purple is convenient when you spray it off, imho at least.

Sure, my comment is directly aimed at a comment stating Valve would basically brick your steam account for this, though. It’s disinformation I’ve seen at too many places this week or oddly enough. While Valve as the CS2 publisher preemptively told players they would unban people once their dlls were normal again.

Vac bans mean you can’t play on vac secured servers. Nothing happens to your other games. For a competitive multiplayer game some anticheat detection is wanted. People changing their dll’s to gain a competitive advantage is cheating. AMD making and distributing this unintentional cheat doesn’t change that.

I agree that buying directly or through GoG and backing up your games is the best thing to do. But this incident isn’t really related to that.

While I don’t think this in particular would cause people or businesses to switch away from Windows, more and more applications work from browsers so they depend less and less on apps you can install. ( Where I work we already put many people on M365 basic because they do just fine with accessing their mail and spreadsheets from the browser. No point in paying extra for options they’ll never need)

Yeah, I don’t doubt it. Still would have preferred if it wouldn’t have been turned on by default. (While recognizing I’m probably in the minority about that globally)

It’s a first world problem but I seriously dislike how random everything with language(and region) settings is. Half the time they follow my system defaults (UK English and Belgian datetime notation), 25% of the time the region settings are ignored and time is displayed weird and backwards with month first and the 12 hour format(MS is really bad with that). And the rest of the time bad geolocalisation people think everyone in Belgium speaks French even when that’s a minority language. So Firefox piling up on that with an unwanted request to translate languages I speak fluently is just annoying when I boot up my pc.

For me it’s popping up all the time and although I guess I understand why they did it, I absolutely hate it. I don’t want translations since I speak the different languages of the sites I visit fluently. Getting popups because I speak different languages is intrusive.

Not reusing it for a purpose that doesn’t make sense doesn’t mean the material won’t be reused ever either ofcourse.

I am a blonde blue eyed man who loves martial arts. Many, many people I train with are pretty open in their racism around me as long as there’s only white people around. In larger groups they make no secret of their conspiracy beliefs. And they’re constantly going to defense camps, survival camps, masculinity camps.

They follow and idolize both the US fascists like Trump, Desantis, JP. And their local versions who organise these kinds of camps (look up Dries Van langenhove).

It’s not the blood and honour kind of Nazism, so perhaps not accurate for this article, but they genuinely believe he was right.

Most reactions here are focusing too hard on the title. These clubs aren’t like, nor inspired by ‘Fight Club’. These groups pose as groups for men wanting to connect with other men so they can learn about physical and mental health, philosophy and self defense. The sports they train are absolutely effective and the hope they get brain damage from this is naive. They practice the same principle that most sane martial arts gyms use since many of them are involved in those as well.

Some will even have chapters for women so they can learn about their sacred and divine femininity and reject the modern capitalist pressures society puts on them of being both a career woman and homemaker and wife.

And very few of them are actually obvious about their neo Nazi roots. They usually just stick to neo paganism with some cherry picked Christianity tossed in for good measure.

Can’t find an English article but you could find a translator of your choice for https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2023/09/15/geen-pornopromotie-of-genderindoctrinatie-hoe-lessenpakket-evra/ as they go decently in depth I to it.

It’s basically a tool to answer questions of children at different ages. Going from what makes boys different from girls, that consent is important, that violence in relationships is not normal or ok, that they should watch out with sending naked pictures of themselves and also that if they do get a naked picture from a partner it’s not ok to send it to others, or that what you see in porno is not at all representative for actual sex. Etc, etc.

Yeah Rottweilers are herding dogs, they herd children too and just love leaning into you. Herd dogs also protect their pack so they do need training and an owner who knows what they’re doing on top of extensive socialising.

If you want to try one again consider Children of Hurin. Narrated by Sir Christopher Lee. It’s like getting a history lesson by Saruman.

I get that you feel this way, very occasionally I still feel that with some narrators or authors.

I had to put in conscious effort with my first audiobooks too though. All that I need now is to clearly understand the narrator and have nothing I need to actively focus on. So it’s so easy to do while cleaning, cooking, driving, working in the garden etc.

I can also just put them on when going to bed and set the timer to 15 minutes. I accept that I might have to rewind a couple of minutes. I heavily prefer it over holding a real book in my hands and ruining it in my bed.

The biggest downside for me is that I dislike some narrators, which is annoying when you know you like the author’s work.

If you like long audiobooks and high fantasy try Malazan. Fair warning that if you like it, it increases the effort you need to start your suspension of disbelief for all other books. At least it did so for me.

None of those apps are the original and official app. Which is pretty obviously what this was about. I used to use Vanced and it never worked as easily as everyone seems to imply, and I never could get it to cast. Vanced is no longer available on the PlayStore btw, and the same can be expected for every app that tries to offer YouTube content, modified.
