🧵 The Obesity Meta
Anonymous at Thu, 7 Dec 2023 17:37:52 UTC No. 178523
And after all these years of training in various martial arts, I have just now realized the true meta for all fighting: obesity.
Weighing 300-400 lbs is one of the best advantages one can have in a fight. The sumo wrestler is the most formidable opponent anyone could face.
Fat is like natural armor. Strikes and kicks don't hurt the obese as much as they hurt thin people. I met a guy once (400 lbs or so) who could be hit in the stomach by one of our 190 lb kotokan cho-dans, full force, and not even flinch. It also protects their organs from knife attacks, and possibly even small caliber rounds.
In wrestling and bjj, they are practically immovable. Like wrestling an atlas stone. You need to be 7 feet tall to successfully pull guard. If they get a top position, you are already dead-- they put all their weight on you, and it is impossible to move or breathe. If you've ever been pinned by a person in your weight class, you know how exhausting it can be. The obese man is far worse to be under.
Their necks are so thick that choking is very difficult, especially if you don't have long arms. They are immune to all judo hip throws, and their fat bellies keep you at sufficient distance such that you can't do leg wraps or double leg takedowns. You can try to foot sweep them but even this is risky, as their weight is so immense that you can barely control where they might fall.
"Oh, just aim for the face!"
They have a protection sphere of obesity around them that prevents you from getting close to them. It's like a huge bubble of forced distance. If you are within striking distance of their face, you are well within their grasp.
"Just move around!"
The obese are less easily exhausted than they are made out to be on TV. They can put up a fight for a decent amount of time. A trained fatty will probably even outperform an untrained 200 lb man.

My only experience is with DHF and DHR II, but kinda want the Michelin Wild enduro's (race spec cos the decals look mint)

These were my favorite feeling skateboard wheels to ride on but they are worn out now and I wish I knew what kind they were so I could get another set. I tried another set and they feel too hard and I think narrow. Thank you https://imgur.com/a/ypVHLDP

how do snowboarders tell the difference between a bad front nose blunt and a bad front lip?
i could ask this question a few different ways, but this is the example that made me think about it and i've noticed snowboarders don't really do nose/tail slides as often.
the difference is obvious when either trick is performed well (the rail is either centered on the board or beyond the binding) but what happens when the binding is directly over the rail? (like i often see when people claim blunts, and what often happens to ME when i try to board/lip slide)
does the difference even matter since if you can't tell the difference you didn't do it well enough?
🗑️ 🧵 Karen that hates skaters and calls the cops
Anonymous at Mon, 4 Dec 2023 12:54:09 UTC No. 178089
So there is this woman that lives behind a skate shop and consistently calls the cops on kids skating in the parking lot saying it's too loud. The police have started issueing citations against the employees of the shop for disturbing the peace just to appease her. Here's is a YouTube video of what she does too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI2
The cops were kind enough to provide her email too.
Her address is 5327 S Owasso Ave, Tulsa, OK 74105

🧵 juego de la creacion and pok ta pok
Anonymous at Sun, 3 Dec 2023 17:11:39 UTC No. 177999
In countries like guatemala, mexico and cuba there is a revival of 2 meso-american games: el juego de la creacion (game of the creation) which is a sort of hockey with a ball constantly on fire, and pok tap pok\juego de pelota, which is a sort of handball but using elbows, knees ,hips and head only. you probably remember this from the "road to el dorado" animated movie.
The players use the very colourful and awesome costumes of mayan or aztec priests for religious (neo-pagan) rituals or tourist events, but many kids and young men play it in normal clothes just like playing soccer of basket.

>Speaking on his Weekend At Effy’s podcast, Effy called Ronda Rousey out for more than just her wrestling ability.
>Effy said:
>“When I think of if I respect a wrestler, or disrespect or don’t enjoy or promote a wrestler, they only have to be three things, okay? The first is, a little bit good at wrestling, just a little bit.
>“The second is, they have to believe that trans people are valid, and respect and honor our trans friends and family. The third is they have to believe that Sandy Hook actually happened. If you cross off zero out of three of those, then you (need to leave).
>“But Ronda Rousey is the dumbest b***h of all time. She is not good at wrestling. She is transphobic, and she questions the reality of whether Sandy Hook happened, and I just said it anyway. Ronda Rousey, you’re a big dumb b***h.
