In combat sports there’s a lot of derision for women who look too strong. Instead of complementing their training regiment and dedicated they get called ugly and a man all the damn time.

On the other end usually those same trolls will call women who train and still look feminine to be gold diggers training with so many men, that’s for posting pictures of themselves training, making weight etc. And send them dm’s offering money to be choked out.

There’s literally no information available to state she is intersex. This was put forward last year without any evidence by the IBA, run by a Russian puppet, 3 days after she defeated a Russian boxer. This federation had been under scrutiny since 2019 exactly because of corruption.

I’m all for being careful when talking about this and I’m not ascribing ill intent towards you. Just try to not repeat this base less propaganda that she’s intersex, has xy chromosomes or something.

Personally I find this entire thing seems to be now supported and kept alive by people and organisations who want women to look and act a certain way, and any woman who deviates is not considered a real woman. And since I personally train a combat sport, and most of my women friends who compete also look strong, muscled and often like shaving at least parts of their hair off, they tend to look similar to Khelif. It’d be ridiculous to question if they are women, most of them already have kids fcol.

I don’t mean to give you unrequested advice so apologies if I come across as dismissive of your experience. I just feel like I can add some points that people in your situation might benefit from.

And that is to not chase love in itself. I found that as I got older I also accepted that I would grow old without a romantic relationship. Though I did invest time in my friendship relationships, and that did work.

While being somewhat saddened by it, I accepted that the chances of me finding love through dating apps was low, in particular because I don’t want to have kids, which obviously is a deal-breaker for many people. So my approach there was to just try to enjoy the moment without expectations and without judgement. If I got a match I’d try to have a fun conversation, if it was fun I’d try to set up a date, and if that was fun I’d keep it going. Just going for having an enjoyable time at that moment without expectations. It made even the dates that weren’t going anywhere long term enjoyable experiences, with the occasional opportunity for physical intimacy with someone who was on the same page about expectations. I could have lived like that but just got plain lucky this year I think. For me it still feels amazing to have happened so I’m not going to type lies and say it will happen for everyone. But I went into this relationship with no expectations either so regardless of what happens in the future I will treasure what is happening now, as I’m a relationship with the most amazing woman who adores aspects of me that would often be things other dates told me made me seem immature and obsessive.

So, you and people that relate to you, I genuinely wish you happiness and good things. In all aspects of life. But please don’t give up on meeting new people if you can, you might make someone else happy just by existing. Or if not you could at least give them a nice date.

Oof, comparing track dominance between Leclerc and Stroll…

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.

That screen didn’t exist in Win XP. If it had, it would have been a different shade of blue. This is either Win10 though I suspect it’s Win11.

Remember that violent protests were used in Europe to establish our rights. It’s incredibly weird looking to the US from the outside. You have the right to bear arms, specifically to oppose tyranny, yet nobody seems to do so.

I tend to avoid grocery stores who do that. But in Belgium at least it’s a known strategy that half the grocery stores use to make you spend more time looking for stuff.

Luckily there’s also a store that avoids it because they want to save time of their employees and customers. So if use their app to make your list and select the location you’re going to, the app will arrange your list to be in the order you encounter everything if you follow the lines on the floor.

He went wide in the lap before Max overtook him iirc. And he’s been struggling with that corner all weekend.

Ofcourse Norris was in a much more extreme manner.

While complaining at the start that the car is not working perfectly and working to improve it to a race winning config with his race engineer. Both Hamilton and Norris collapsed under pressure, but Max is consistently pumping out high performance.

It really still amazes me that none of the other drivers can come close.

Didn’t Verstappen go over the lines in that first run?

It does actually ask you if you want to sync those files if you’re installing it on W10. It’s a bit opaque in explaining the consequences in the simple wizard that allows you to enable or disable it by slider, but that’s why it’s a wizard.

People who say it doesn’t probably just clicked next, next, next… Had a user complain about it too. Than a month later when we replaced his laptop with a W11 he was quite happy with it.

It definitely has a very positive use case for the large majority of users.

On the other hand they need to start showing him he needs to start delivering. Obviously this is quite drastic but it comes down to results and money. It is after all why they don’t have a spare chassis.

I think it was around 3 minutes and something left when he went wide. Considering how fast he was in that lap he might not have had enough fuel for that.

Resisting the team call was dumb, imo, but that’s ofcourse debatable. I don’t agree with your perspective but I think it’s valid and not that weird.

The part I’m referring to as a bad look if he wants to switch teams is him dive-bombing and brake checking his teammate after the race had ended. No team will want anything to do with that.

It was a predefined strategy. Combined with the delay in radio messages it came a lot earlier at a time when the sofas weren’t already gone.

And regardless of whether it was a good call or not his response after the race is not a good look if he wants to move a bigger team where they need to know that people can be trusted to execute a team strategy.

I just have, so adjusting my opinion accordingly. This clearly is abuse of power and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace that goes beyond an inappropriate but not abusive attempt to have a romantic relationship with a coworker.

It’s ridiculous RB thinks he can stay in his position.
