I feel something meta and bordering on spiritual when I see people who have contempt for artists use AI. It's always some kind of smugness or material success and then there's someone else who's always crying or upset about it.

I don't know how to break open how I feel about it. Maybe it's that crying or regretfulness is, to them, some kind of end state that I find most odious? Maybe that the view borders on a pornographic portrait of their atrophied soul. Maybe it's how "associate me with good thing please" reflects some lingering insecurity that, with all my grandiose thinking, I'm no better than and it upsets me.

It's repulsive, whatever it is.

“I understand the importance of deporting criminal aliens, but what we are witnessing are arbitrary measures to hunt down people who are complying with their immigration hearings — in many cases, with credible fear of persecution claims — all driven by a Miller-like desire to satisfy a self-fabricated deportation goal,” she wrote.

“This undermines the sense of fairness and justice that the American people value,” Garcia added.

The only thing I could possibly think of as a valid (i.e. Internally consistent, not necessarily good in any respect) rationale would be if you heard someone who wasn't conservative say "well, it's impractical to get all the undocumented people out." and then your mind bluescreens with rage at the suggestion (and then you start a political organization dedicated to spiting that person). Then when it ends up being impractical because you have to stereotype people to ask them for documentation/arrest first, ask later you go "oh holy shit, this is impractical!!"

~~I take it back - you might have also thought it was a class thing and when it turns out that it's an intersectional issue you get butt blasted about it. That might also work.~~ Doesn't work since you purportedly gaf about persecution

Mods! This is a GOOD post. Petition to make c/goodbadposts

I wouldn't have even done a sensible chuckle. If someone tried to make a joke because I had the thumbnail up I would give my best "sure lol". This is the Streisand Effect in motion. Losers!

Weed is giga legal in California.

Well no, it's not a memorization game. Part of a grandmaster's strategy is deciding when to go "off book" and cause their opponent to have to reason through a position. An attribute of a chess engine like Stockfish is its "depth" which is a measurement of how many permutations it searches through in a tree of possibilities. You get some ridiculous number of permutations very quickly on a chess board.

That's not to say that a competitor doesn't do anything assload of memorization of the "correct" moves as proven in landmark games. But you don't just memorize chess and solve it as such like you can do with tic tac toe. Unrelated but I think a spectrum is fun: tic tac toe, solved, memorizable. Connect 4, solved, unmemorizable. Checkers, surprisingly solved, in your dreams. Chess, unsolved.

This was my first thought. I had the chance of a fucking lifetime to be abroad alone for a while. I spent it in two places - a day trip to a hot spring and the rest of the time in an Airbnb. It was the absolute best.

Getting luggage around, no matter how you go from one place to the next, is a pain in the ass. I'd rather kind of vaguely know a place than the spark notes of 3 places.

Mastery of the passive voice. They leave open the possibility that a protestor or a third party (Russia? Child from Gaza?) took a police officer's gun and targeted the press.

Counterpoint

One of the craziest things for me was that, in the wake of Enies Lobby and Robin's debacle, they never sat down to talk about duress. "Hey, does anyone else have any reason they might be in duress? Btw I don't give a fuck who would try us. Also, if you are ever held in duress, say the phrase 'giant goldfish' and we'll play it cool."

Would've cut the tension in WCI a little

Well let me know whenever you have something to talk about. I'd enjoy hearing about your progress. I can tell you stories like a white belt who felt slighted when I let him work, so I put him in as many different chokes and joint locks as I could think of rapid fire for 3 minutes

Some of my most rewarding times come from coaching fundamentals students. I'm always curious how they get the most important belt promotion (no belt -> white) and find the courage to walk through the door. What was it for you? Personally, I walas inspired by Naruto to be a ninja and fight others, but I was far too timid to throw punches. It took a good 7 years before I would try kickboxing.

I've been working on guard retention and truck entries. The truck is a kind of hip control where you only have the bottom hook in but their hips are above yours. It allows you to do 3 main pieces of nonsense: a calf slicer, the electric chair, and the twister. The guard because it's actually useful and the truck to torture blue belts.

If I were to ever have a worthwhile legacy in BJJ, it would be making self defense fundamentals accessible to the LGBT+. If I could help them and some other protesters get out from someone's mount, trip someone, and hit a guard sweep I'd call it a win.

I saw you post that you started doing BJJ. I've been doing it for over a decade. What do you like about it? What have you been learning in class recently? Has dealing with chuds been difficult for you?
