Crowder is also a purple belt in Jiu Jitsu. Even white belts understand choking concepts, you are either hitting an airway (which needs to be directly on it) or you have to block both arteries going to the brain (airway is not necessary). You could blood choke somebody with a knee on the neck but it wouldn't be on the back side and you would need something to block the artery on the far side, like their own arm.
I just had to fly yesterday for work. I flew on two planes. Got threatened at least 15 times via intercom messages about mask mandates, that there would be severe punishment for even just wearing improperly, that you won't be able to fly with us again if you violate the federal law (I didn't realize they ever passed a law). That we aren't providing drink services etc because of mask restrictions. It was a horrible experience. Yet apparently I can still consume all the overpriced airport food and get packed like cattle.
I also got my balls felt up and treated like a literal inmate by the TSA (I know how inmates get treated, I was a jailer in my late 20s). Don't even get me started on the TSA.
Oh, and I got to pay 130 dollars because my checked bag was 5 pounds over. Friendly skies my ass lol.
What if I told you tobacco really isn't that bad for you? Don't believe me, look at the correlation between smoking rates in this country and lung cancer over the last few decades, one has gone down drastically and the other is still going strong.
Not saying it's not a bad habit but it has definitely been the scapegoat for something much worse. Personal opinion from some deep web stuff I read, nuclear testing in the 60's.
There are some states with mutual combat laws still on the books, where two consenting can agree to a fist fight until one concedes or is incapacitated. Washington state I am aware of. There is a video out there of RLSH Phoenix Jones fighting with some bar drunk with the police present because they agreed to mutual combat. Jones was an amateur MMA fighter at the time...it was pretty entertaining.
Get a physical hobby unrelated to politics. Last year I was severely depressed due to personal issues. So I started doing Jiu Jitsu, then boxing and Muay Thai too. I train a few times a week but I spend alot of time watching instructionals and combats sports non-political content. The endorphin rush I get after training is great, made a shit ton of gym friends. Great confidence booster as I now have a plan to kick everyone's ass that I meet. Also most fight gym guys I know are soooo over covid because they want to train. For instance I train at a couple of gyms in NY, we wear mask into and out of the gym but once we are through the doors (so our small business owners don't get harassed) but it is masks off and let's train once we are inside.
What's worse is the stupidity, like putting a plastic cover over points of sale that everyone still touches, or stores near me that limit the number of entrances, still not sure how funneling people into places fights the virus, I would think decentralizing would be more effective. But it's about control so in that context it all makes sense.
Join the club, I really hate the masks, but I would get fired so quick and nobody would give fuck, hell I will probably get fired anyway just for the constant calls I make to congress (which personally I think get auto deleted). I am preparing to move states and jobs though, I just wish I was in better financial situation to fuck the system. On the not so bright side I think Biden is going to crash this ship so fast that our jobs really won't mean as much with hyperinflation. We'll get to the point where a significant amount of what we make is just going to be for fuel to get to and from your job. Many of us will start to default on debt and the whole thing is gonna crash.
I quit all sports too and only watch MMA. What's been even better for me is started training MMA a year ago this month. I am in great shape now and really enjoy it, meeting great people, looking good and feeling good.
I am pretty sure I died and went to hell and it's slowly revealing itself to me, kinda like the 6th Sense, but funnier and not funny at the same time. If I am not dead God has to be fucking with us, butt swabs and triple masks, c'mon man, can we at least make a believable matrix?
I am in the wrong racket. I served in the Army 24 years and all I got was a divorce and am close to having a house repossessed that costs less than all 4 of those houses. I guess it all works out though as I'll likely get free housing in the federal pen now that we are all domestic terrorists identified by flying American flags.
