Boxing in real life is not like boxing in movies. No fighter can go 12 rounds just throwing hands all the time. The clinch is used often for strategic purposes, to stop the momentum or interrupt the rhythm of the other fighter. It also is used to get some kind of rest when one is getting pummelled and can't find a way out.

Sometimes it's abused of course. But it is very much a part of the sport.

I agree, it's a tiny step in the right direction, but definitely too little too late.

You look great! I've interviewed my fair share of help desk people, some with rumpled clothes or worst, smelly clothes. Keep them clean and not wrinkled and you'll be fine. Great advice all around in the other comments. And take note of the belt one especially, it has to be clasped above the zipper. You got this!

I do the same! And you know, I think this is a hobby by itself. It's also very useful when talking with strangers if they tell you they practice one of the hobbies you've binged on. You can ask them more pointed, interesting questions and it makes for great conversations!

That's a big one. Also lack of hobbies or passions.

I live in Canada. I never cease to be flabbergasted by laws in the US. It's like living next to a time warp.

Faut essayer de participer le plus possible. Si on garde l'endroit vivant les gens qui viennent visiter resteront! Perso j'ai complètement quitté Reddit alors je suis dans le fediverse à 100%, mais c'est certain que j'aimerais vraiment retrouver une communauté locale aussi.

What goes through the mind of people like this? Don't they realize they are being dicks? Regardless of the weather the thought of using an umbrella in a crowd would never even cross my mind, even less so in a seated venue, wtf?

They know. Most people that use that argument just want to make their position known, ie: socialism bad.

Same, and I also like the channels subscriptions so everything is in one place. But I also pirate a lot so I guess I'll have to do it even more!

Seriously, "Jewish erasure"? Come the fuck on.

You sound like you didn't read the article. This not about seeing ads or not, it's about large corporations allowing and making profits off advertising criminal activities.

I didn't miss the point, the point is not about seeing ads or not. Expand your thought process a bit.

Where I live (Montréal, Canada) plastic bags are banned everywhere. You either bring your own or buy a reusable at the cash. Some places (like grocery stores) also sell paper bags. You get used to it. If you have a car you leave a bunch of reusables in the trunk, if you don't you just have to remember to bring one with you. The also sell some super thin ones you can carry in your pockets that are sturdy and large enough for a small run at the grocery store.

This is what we call a shoebox house in Montreal. There are quite a few in my neighbourhood. See more in this article. Mind you, these are pictures of the pretty ones, they are not all as cute, but not many are as far recessed from the street either.

I agree that the landlord is a shitstain, but that tenant is not the best at decision making either. I can understand spending a couple of hundreds if it makes your life better, but she basically handed over a 12k check to that landlord. I can't see any good reason to do this.

Very nice! I was sure it was the no purl pattern before clicking on the link :) I've made a few of them as gifts, they always turn out beautiful and are super satisfying to make (quick and mindless).

J'habite Verdun et après avoir été sans voiture pendant plus de dix ans je viens d'en acheter une (usagée) car je prévois déménager à St-Jérôme l'an prochain. La location n'était plus rentable. Tk, tout ça pour dire, je ne m'en sers pas du tout en ville, c'est vraiment juste pour aller là-bas ou faire des grosses courses à Lasalle genre. La semaine passée aussi ils parlaient d'entraves, etc. Je suis montée à St-Jérôme pareil, en prenant la 13 vers la 640. Habituellement ça va super bien, à part le traffic à la 15 et Ste-Thérese. Ben crisse la 13 nord est fermée à Samson et c'était bumper à bumper haha! On s'en sort pas, n'importe où qu'on va.
