  • MMA has an interesting trajectory where people actually didn’t know which style would win at first. Dudes in gis would actually fight some dude in kickboxing gear. Look up some old MMA fights and you’ll see the fights were usually awkward and bad.

    Someone else called out in this thread that the rules of MMA influence what wins. I think that makes sense. They can’t just immediately kick each other in the balls.

    I say join a gym and try out a few fights just so you know what it feels like to get punched in the face, and then do like everyone else says and get good at cardio. If you have asthma carry concealed I guess.















  • Lunch comes up as it often does. Your friend Salby suggests pizza, which takes too long for lunch to start with, but whatever. You’re gluten free so you pipe up and say sure, as long as it’s a place with gf crust, and they have a separate baking spot, and they use clean pizza cutters so there’s no cross contamination. Spoilers, such places are rare.

    First scenario everyone is cool with going across town to the place you know is safe. It’s a normal conversation. Lunch takes 90m but that’s fine because no one has any conflicts.

    Scenario 2, big meeting at 1 – fucking gross who does that – so it’s Pizza Basement which is a local minimum wage chain with teens who hate everything running the place.

    People pleasing would be going along with #2 and just eating some wilted half cup side salad for lunch.

    Scenario 2 you should’ve gone somewhere else or just passed on lunch. If Salby clocks that you stood up for yourself and they decide they don’t like that, you might have to regulate.
