Wrestlers and coaches, I’m curious—how would you rank the difficulty of key wrestling actions? Whether it’s a takedown, reversal, escape, or nearfall, each action has its own challenges. Here’s a breakdown to get us started, but I want to hear your thoughts! How would you rank these Freestyle and Folkstyle actions in terms of difficulty? (unranked below) Grand Amplitude Takedown to Danger Position Takedown to Danger Position Takedown 4-second Nearfall 3-second Nearfall 2-second Nearfall Danger Position (Any Duration Back Exposure) Short Amplitude Throw from the ground (with danger position) Grand Amplitude Throw (no danger position) 1+minute Riding Time Reversal Escape Step Out Passivity How do the non scoring actions below fit into your ranking of above difficulties? Holding center Escape from a nearfall position Defending a takedown Escaping the cowboy from a prone position You can use ranking tiers, but make sure to include clear differentiators (e.g., 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 5, 6...).

Why is it a woman’s right to get an abortion, but not her right to do drugs while pregnant? -

The factual comment highlights inconsistencies in how society prioritizes the protection of children. If protecting child lives is a strong reason for gun control, then the high number of abortions logically deserve greater focus. FACTS Guttmacher.org research indicates 9 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DO NOT RESTRICT ABORTION BASED ON GESTATIONAL DURATION. While its rare (~1%) to have later abortions, it is legal and does occur annually (~10K instances) for mostly the same reasons as the first trimester (e.g. elective) per this fact check by the Washington Post (see also: congressional research). Most women seeking later abortion fit at least one of five profiles: They were raising children alone They were depressed or using illicit substances They were in conflict with a male partner or experiencing domestic violence They had trouble deciding and then had access problems (location and finance) They were young and nulliparous. Florida and Utah provide women’s reasons for having an abortion by gestational time periods in their annual state abortion reports. The table below (source) for Utah in 2021 shows that 56% (9 out of 16) reported reasons for abortions past 21 weeks are for economic reasons (e.g. elective). Note that ** means 5 or fewer in the chart. Florida doesn’t separate abortion reasons specifically for cases over ~20 weeks; instead, it groups the entire second trimester (13-26 weeks) with the following breakdown: Elective: 85% Baby’s health: 10% Mother, non-life-threatening issues (physical/emotional): 4.2% Mother’s physical life at risk: 0.4% Rape/incest: 0.4% Doctors like Warren Hern, described by The Atlantic as an “abortion absolutist,” hold strong views on abortion. According to Hern: A fetus remains a fetus until it is “born alive.” In Hern’s view, a woman’s life, humanity, and wishes outweigh the fetus’s, often to the point of being the only consideration. Hern once shared that a patient sought an abortion solely because she didn’t want a girl; he did not refuse her request. When asked what he would do if a healthy woman sought an abortion at 30 weeks, Hern’s response underscored his stance: “Every pregnancy is a health issue. There’s a certifiable risk of death from being pregnant, period.” -
Voted early today in a county with less Dem% rate in 2024 compared to 2020. I’m surprised given the steady stream of predominantly women voters at this voting location.

You can poke fun at Trump... And you can downplay with cherry picked statistics... But the hard numbers are there... Elective abortion does occur after the baby life is feasible... More late terms elective abortions occur than kids killed in school shootings... No matter what Kamala claims about Trump banning abortion... He will not... It is amazing that very bright Americans are picking Trump... Why would that be true... -
Can you read the signs? Today, I met two first-time voters—both women, and both supporting Trump. In Kansas' largest county (Johnson), early voting shows a 10% higher Republican turnout in 2024 as compared to the 2020 election results, and the number of early voters has already surpassed previous records. This trend is significant for several reasons: Higher voter turnout overall suggests increased engagement. A stronger Republican showing indicates a shift in momentum. Women voting for Trump challenges the typical Democratic advantage among female voters. *early voting is mail in + in person. Results current as of Oct 23, 2024. (Early 2024) https://www.ike-lab.com/dailyev_241105.html (2020 Final) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Kansas THANK YOU X.com FOR BREAKING THE MSM PROPOGANDA!

There are competent Dems that can speak well AND handle guns.

Both candidates fail on debt management; they both will add to the debt. Trump has the positive in having Elon Musk run a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government. That will potentially enable reduced government fraud and wasteful spending. The impact to the GDP and Debt varies depending on which expert / article you read.

Kyle's dad, Gerald!

Awesome. /s Grindr has better clown protection than the intermat.

With the intense hate that many have for Musk, why hasn't he been charged? because there isn't proof of legal violations.
-
@Caveira Musk supports free speech "within law" but has been inconsistent in practice (India vs Brasil for example). His general policy of freedom of speech, but not reach.. is good.
-
Why is there concern with Musk? Why do you care? There is not a strong case of piercing the veil is there? It seems on the surface of hate the man, find the crime.

Have you had a chance to listen to the JD Vance interview? Martha Raddatz suggests that the (Colorado) gang incidents were limited to "a handful of apartment complexes" and that the situation was being managed by local law enforcement. Vance retorted, "Martha (Raddatz), do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs." WKN, do you hear yourself? You are talking about Musk and glossing over the EU overreach?
-
The EU's potential penalties should not extend to all of Musk's businesses simply because of his management style. The core issue is about free speech, not the way Musk operates his companies. It is not appropriate for a government to penalize multiple companies for free speech on one platform.

Disgusting. You can’t fight what you can’t discuss.
-
They don't want to censor your speech, they want to ban you for being a bad poster.
-
Because Wylis believes in censoring any speech besides "Hodor."
-
Let me tell you, @Scouts Honor had the perfect response. No question about it. There has never been a better response. People are saying it's a very good response, a tremendous response. Some folks, they don't want to admit it, but they know. Everyone knows. Believe me, nobody responds like this. It's incredible. ----- Punishing Musk's entire business empire with heavy-handed fines to exert government control over speech is authoritarian overreach. The EU needs to back off.

Saylor's Tiny Willie is Wylis from Game of Thrones... the character who can only say 'Hodor' because it's the one word he's stuck on. He’s not calling you names; 'Hodor' (hold the door) is just the limit of what he can manage. Wylis has the mental capacity of a child. Oh, and STW also fantasizes about being Bran Stark, catching a peek at Cersei and Jaime...

I get why some would call Trump a demagogue, but there’s more to it than that. He actually lost money during his presidency, and he pushed through policies that, whether you liked him or not, were meant to benefit the country and its people. Is the point of this topic just to bash Trump? I’m not a fan of Trump, the man. But I was surprised to find that I liked his last presidency -- and I agree with a lot of his policies. It feels like the constant attacks on him are more about undermining his support than anything else. ...The question I put forward is a trap for those with TDS.

Tell us how this video was edited to share fake news?

I understand why some people have strong feelings about James, but I think it would be really helpful to focus on his recent videos and discuss the content instead of attacking the person. I've watched a lot of unedited footage and trust that I understand the context of what the people recorded say. This isn't something where five words out of twenty words are spoken... its the whole twenty words. It seems like some folks attack him to avoid dealing with reality.
