r/tuesday This lady's not for turning 26d ago

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 9, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

I finally got around to watching some of the video, it seems like Penny was trying to do a rear naked choke on Neely. It's generally not supposed to be lethal.

Id need to watch the rest of whatever video is available of the actual incident.

I'm not like some expert or anything, but I have some martial arts experience and a number of chokes absolutely are lethal if locked in for very long. I've seen people pass out in less than 10 seconds from a rear naked choke before. The issue isn't that it prevents you from breathing, it's that it cuts off blood from getting to your brain. You have maybe 15 seconds top before permanent damage is done, and for some people it'd absolutely be lethal depending on their medical history.

I haven't watched the video though, I'm only speaking from my experience.

Let me rephrase- if you release the chokehold your opponent will be fine, it's not supposed to be *immediately* fatal
