  • Even if Krav Maga teaches more attacks and more “leathal” attacks. i would hope 5 of them at the same stage as these individuals, 4th degree black belts and instructors, would be able to restrain 1 individual without permanent damage.

    When i think of someone that is that well trained i think they are trained in more than just the moves. Going through my martial arts training we were taught the fighting mentality and spirit as well as just the moves.

    Edit: I’ve never been through either of these training styles so I’m making assumptions and may be wrong.


  • Exactly, or that’s how it was explained to me. Say you get a 10k raise from 94k to 104k and the next bracket is at 100k. If your old percent was 20% and the 100k bracket is 25% only the “extra” 4k would be taxed at 25% and the 6k before that would be 20%.

    Or so I’ve been told by smarter people than me. Numbers/ brackets and percentages are all made up to make it easier.

    Midwest, US if it matters.



  • I get that, in my experience it was just weeding through the bad ones. I had my fair share of un matches/ghosts/a holes.

    I also hated taking pictures of myself and had a mediocre at best bio. What worked for me was not getting emotionally invested in the apps/matches.

    The matches that i got and went out on a date or two with i was very up front that i was still using the app. It wasn’t until our 4th date that my partner and i deleted our apps.

    Anywho, just wanted to share some hopefully positive advice. You will find the right one for you! Just have fun with it and try not to take it seriously


  • Yeah, that’s how i started using them as well, it just increases the odds. I went through a phase of “wanting to be in a relationship” and that was the focus of the apps for me. I would read every bio and then decide if i swipe right or not and think about how we would be good for each other. That was taxing and took a lot out of me emotionally.

    Eventually i realized it really is just a numbers game. So i just looked at pictures and if i liked them swiped right. Then if we matched i would read the bio and have conversations.

    That being said i was the one that got swipped right on and am thankful to have deleted those apps a year ago. I feel for those that are stuck in the online dating hellscape.

    Not the 529,000 views that the video got? Was that satire or is there actually a channel that is that popular for candy crush and state of the game updates on it?

    I don’t want to search for it and poison my recommendations for years to come



  • I live in the midwest and have seen plenty over the years to not trust my dogs training 100%. There was a dead cat a mile up the road from my house yesterday that got hit by a car.

    Every once in awhile an owner decides to walk their dog from the dogpark entrance to their car without a leash and it runs off and gets hit. It’s not the dogs fault the owner is a dumbass
