S-webs - Weird Rat-spider Thing

Bringing awareness to this because I hate the fact this is a common thing.

Have always wanted to talk about this. Martial arts gyms are awash in creeps, which isn’t really unique I guess.

If you follow MMA closely, you might have noticed a lot of women (especially young women) are dating their coaches who tend to be like 15+ years older than them. The really creepy part is a lot of them have known their coaches since like middle school. The most famous case is Pat Barry and Rose Namajunas, who allegedly started dating when Rose like like 14 and Barry was like 30ish. But there are others - Jim West and Aspen Ladd, whatever the Shevchenkos and Paul Fedetov, and way more. It’s creepy. And you can read all types of stories about other gyms.

And these weren’t even the ones I was looking for. They just popped up on Google. Point being, we should look out for one another. There are way too many people who are comfortable in the martial arts community being predators. Look at Lloyd Irvin.

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

Noita Tip of the Day: no matter how safe you think you are, try and be safer.
