That's not quite true - blue belts that have been chosen as a pet by a brown or purple belt do count as a human familiar.

I saw a WackyJacky stream in like 2019? Where he did a box delivery mission with an avenger titan and was instantly hooked. I got an Aurora package and started playing, and after a week upgraded to a connie aquila absolutely ashamed that I spent like 230 dollars on a digital space ship.
Anyways I can't wait till my Javelin finally makes it in game so my two friends who regularly play and I can use it for cargo running.

This is an excellent post if you're dumb

I love the mark 4 Connie (phoenix) and I would be furious if they drastically redesigned it to mark 5.

If you see any Catholics making comments here, report report report. Banning them gives us great joy.

Hey, when you start bringing home the 1st place Ultra Heavyweight Masters V blue belt no gi Midwest Missouri Fuji State Regional Championship, we'll ask for your opinion, okay buddy?

And he fucked a bunch of children, so we really don't have to do what he says.

I've removed your ban

Please move this post to r/excatholicDebate
sawser
Careful with all the edge on that blade
sawser
If you read the rules of excatholic, you'd know that excatholicDebate is where excatholic members are directed to for non support related discussions.
sawser
When comments are reported by members that are brought to our attention, mods have to try to decern the posters' goals and purpose.
Unfortunately, they don't say
"Hi I'm a catholic and want to recovert your members"
Or
"Hi I used to he Catholic and now I'm an evangelical who believes abortion is wrong and trangenders are going to hell and will tell them that in the comments"
Or
"Hey, I'm excatholic, but I don't need support - instead I'm really interested in the intellectual exercise of arguing epistemology and will turn comment threats into academic discussion regardless as to the goal of the original poster"
So Mods look at the posters comment history to see if we can discern the why they are there.
We are above all else a support group.
sawser
This is also our sister sub, and likely where your original posts should have gone.
sawser
That one should be fine. We're careful about posts in r/Catholicism and related subs because we don't want posters stirring up shit there and then running back to our subreddit, which causes huge brigading issues.
We've had thousands of Catholics follow posts from the catholic subreddits and start blowing up all our posts. There's only two moderators so it's impossible for us to handle brigading like that.
sawser
You were banned 9 months ago because your first post was a giant diatribe from Thomas Aquinus and your second post was a giant poem about sex being disgusting.
Above all else, excatholic is a support group meant to help people dealing with their personal interactions with the church...
Not whatever that was.
sawser
Hey there, I can unban you if you'd like - it looks like your ban was automatically confirmed because of the Catholicism subreddits you were active in.
Apolgies for the overzealousness.

My gym has a policy of not letting teen students text instructors directly. If they text us, we answer their questions by texting the answer to their parents.

I have students start with a drill called "two failures and a success" (I'll use it as a warmup for advanced classes)
The aggressor student does a takedown (starting without grips) slowly enough for their partner to recognize the takedown and defend it. The aggressor student immediately moves into a follow-up takedown their partner also defends. Then immediately move to a third takedown and their partner allows the takedown to succeed.
This safely builds chaining and building muscle memory and as students get more comfortable the definition of "slow enough for their partner to defend" moves faster and faster with their comfort level.
For senior ranks, the drill is unlimited failures to success, where the aggressor student continues to chain moves until their partner decides not to defend.
Alternatively, you can have failures to guard pull, where the aggressor student attacks until their partner pulls guard. Then after a few rounds of that, the aggressor student will look for and defend the guard pull.
The primary focus is removing hesitation and smoothing the transition between failed takedowns, and I also get to see the breadth and variety of takedowns my classes are comfortable with. (I always add in a joke about how I have never had to chain takedowns because I've never failed the first throw, but that I saw a TikTok where someone didn't get a takedown so I can imagine how it might happen to people who aren't as good as me)
Personal favorite story is when I had a white belt rocket his opponent into the air and onto his face with an uchimata and then have to take a second to recognize his opponent wasn't able to defend the opening takedown and he just needed to drop into side control.

LOOOOOL

This is the kind of comment that feels like it's a good point if you're a fucking idiot.
sawser
Not sure what the point of this post is, but it sure as shit doesn't belong here.
sawser
We send them to excatholicDebate. But their posts are seldom genuine.
sawser
Obviously you should have already finished all the features and also fixed all the bugs at some time in the last! 😂
Look they could have put it in a carrying case is all I'm saying
