For one, I was watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vfB2STD...ShaunJones
Without having to click it, the context is that this bodybuilder podcaster named Bradley Martyn has been asking fighters if he could take them on in a scrap.
In this clip, he does "light sparring" boxing with a content creator named Sneako - who is nominally into fight training - and you can tell that BMart is taking this incredibly seriously and punching; it's an ego thing, which can get very dangerous very quickly.
I'm in the martial arts community and I've been getting irritated about people who are about my weight who aren't very considerate about my safety. Yesterday I tapped very early in a Jiu Jitsu spar because I was falling funny (ankle) and he was starting to roll over my ankle; he didn't even notice the tap and I made a point of verbally prompting him and tapping again, even if I was 99% in the clear. I don't want partners like this.
Also, during the day today, I had flashbacks to experiences I had almost 20 years ago where my mom put the blame on me for things that were out of my control, or wouldn't apologize (at that time) when I brought up her unwarranted blame; long story. I don't bring them up because both of my parents chilled out when I reached my early to mid twenties.
