Is there anything you are "both sides" on?

I both despise and love mayonnaise.

Hmm, I'll have to get back to you on that one, as I'm staunched on most things.

Idk, maybe these:

- Steroids in sports . I get that it's an unfair advantage over those who train naturally, but I want to see the extent of our humanly limits that isn't on my expense.

- PETA vs my need to eat animals . I sympathize with them and their cause, but in the end I'll still be maving a BBQ Cook-out with all of the meats that I've hunted.

Marijuana.

It's fun, but the smell is obnoxious. Can we please just do that shit at home?

For me, it's martial arts safety vs practical application. There are things you just don't risk in practice, because you're going to get fucked and not practice anymore.

What martial art could that possibly be? Krav Maga, where they teach how to gauge out someone's eyes, and stab them with a knife?

All that stuff is pretty non-practical anyhow, because anything you can't truly practice, you wont be able to implement in a real situation.

In Jiujitsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai and other practical martial arts there really isn't anything you can't actually practice -- you practice all of it. Which is why if you know these thing and you get into a real altercation, you can usually execute them pretty flawlessly, especially against an untrained opponent.

Something like Aikido is never going to work, because its not practical at all, which is why its not practiced as such -- there is no way to practically practice a "zen" or "fitness" martial arts, because thats not what it was created to do.

Heard about the Enhanced Games coming in 2025? Roiding will be the whole point.

PETA's full of shit and actually does more harm than good, they've killed a lot of perfectly healthy animals, but I get your overall idea.

What do you usually hunt?

I'm running low on my cheese-stuffed deer jerky

Deer, and wild boars in Southeast Texas. I'm running low on my cheese-stuffed deer jerky , but work hasn't let up none, maybe the next season after this one. (Doubt it).

Judo in my specific case. I mentioned tani otoshi because it is infamous for ruining knees. There are similar things that are avoided in wrestling, and even further in jujutsu, which partly originates from old timey battlefields. Hell, jujutsu is only recognized as a grappling art now because of how much has been cut from it. Originally had weapons, strikes, gouging, you name it. Had to evolve with the times both for political reasons, and to, you know, not have blind crippled people not wanting to keep paying them.

I used to think similarly to you, about practice needing to replicate execution, but recently I've seen how a lot of MT practice is more repetition and conditioning, and MT champs tend to dominate if they venture into other combat sports. The key difference simply being that preservation allows for more experience, but also that kicking a tree isn't too different from kicking a leg.

The hell?...

Ok, this is gonna be controversial, but cheese. Everyone seems to LOVE cheese. Which is totally fine, and I wouldn't argue that you should or shouldn't love it (so I think I'm both sidesing here). But damn, it's also not that great a lot of the time. I'm starting to more and more often just request the removal of cheese because I find it often overpowers other flavors just a little too much.

I am kinda both sides on immigration. There are obviously some problems with illegal immigration but the problems are often exaggerated and signal boosted to make it sound like they are worse than the reality. On the other hand, our immigration laws are too strict and some of the illegal immigrants we have here shouldn't have to be illegal in the first place.

See, Im very much in favour of pretty much everywhere making immigration easier. But then, as an immigrant, Im biased.
