It's used to diagnose neurological conditions.

It's valid enough that watching someone walk is used for medical diagnosis

Most forensics is junk. Doesn't mean it isn't used though. Do I trust software to do that? No. I can identify my friends and family by their walk though.

Sorry to hear that. In my area, not for profit housing co-ops are often hiring. Coordinators (property management), get paid ok, but there's usually benefits. It's a mentally difficult job, but rewarding

Update?

What I'll never cease to find funny is that I correctly predicted the outcome of every swing state in the election using his data, and he thought it was too close to call. Fuck that guy

"Killing in the name"

Nobody's perfect.

This one?

I really enjoyed the second one. I was telling my partner about it recently. I've really been enjoying him. He had a talk on masculinity that was also pretty good.

Or even just look at hip hop. There was a ridiculous amount of popular hip hop in the 80s that was just bad, but the genre got polished and now there's a ridiculous amount of good stuff. You'll see people complain about the quality of the really popular stuff, but there's so many up and comers that are putting out awesome stuff. It's like any other art form. Each generation builds on the previous. Taking the stuff the previous generation took a lifetime to master and learning the ins and outs in a few years. Making them able to master it in a way the previous generation could only guess at.

Canada is already in a recession, if you take housing out of the calculation. Because of our housing situation, it'll probably do some absolutely bonkers depression type thing.

On other instances, they seem to be the norm. I struggle because it's not hard to see that Russia was pressured to invade, but even suggesting that will get a sea of downvotes

Same. It's a corporate show. It's a pretty fucking good corporate show, but it's still corporate. The music gives the appropriate feeling for each scene. It's schlock. But it's appropriate schlock. The story isn't particularly deep. It's just exploring familial relationships, but it does that well

I just want to say how much I appreciate you people here. It's really nice to see people with memory and a sense of justice. All the time I'm seeing people just buying the propaganda. Then I come here. It's like a palate cleanser.

Rare proud Canadian moment: Trudeau said they'd follow ICC rulings.

Bjj is good for sure. In my opinion you get too comfortable fighting on the ground though. 20 years ago there was a teenager that was pretty good and got in a fight. He took the main guy down and then got kicked to death. I'm sure there's another 100 anecdotes about a bjj guy that did the ass kicking, but that's the story that sticks in my head

It's so relentless too! They're so annoying to spar against :)

I've had a lot of experience. I used to like to scrap a little consensually though. I'd end up with a fat lip and a lot of laughs. Any striking art will be good. The better ones are boxing, muay Thai, and wing chun. As far as grappling, you're going to be suggested bjj. That's a mistake. Bjj is really good at fighting one guy on the ground. You mentioned that you want it for self defense. If you're fighting someone on the ground what are the chances chuds friend is jumping in? What you really want is something that will give you good defense against takedowns. Wrestling and judo are good choices. If I had to focus on one, I'd go muay Thai. If I wanted to go for fun, judo or boxing. Finding a few friends that want to throw each other around in a park, is a blast. Likewise, beating each other up in a gym is tons of fun too. If you find a really good school, you'll realize how much a street fight is about luck, but you'll be in better shape, and at some point you'll start to feel like a shark. It's a cool feeling. Good luck

OK. But has anyone tried it?
