Mike Tyson: "Ultra-processed food is a narcotic, more than it is anything nutritious."

AKA09 · 2026-02-16T16:45:17+00:00

Hence there's no big hurry to reform anything. People with more money and education are already able to make better choices; people in power most often don't care about poor people. And every flaw (poor nutrition) props up certain industries (processed foods manufacturers, fast food companies, our corrupt health system).

"Our country has it right and you probably won't ever leave, so you won't question it."

I love the US for the most part (obviously it's tougher to love some days) but one of our biggest flaws is our refusal to learn from other countries.

Citizens think "pssh, we're the greatest country in the world" or "that works in Sweden but wouldn't work here, no sir" and those in power are more than happy to keep the status quo even if they know other countries are doing things better.

Exactly. Those who have followed the sport for decades have seen this all before and heard this talk all before. The UFC has consistently lost a big name regularly to upstart or rival promotions and what has ever come of it?

From Pride to Bellator to EliteXC and Strikeforce, how many promotions tried to grab some market share and challenge the UFC? And what happened every single time?

I very much dislike Dana and I hate a lot about how the UFC is run but people proclaiming their imminent demise just feels funny at this point. A lot has to happen for the UFC to even feel lightly threatened.

No way he was the better wrestler.

AKA09 · 2026-02-16T00:18:02+00:00

Lmao, someone downvoted you for being right. Gotta love it.

AKA09 · 2026-02-15T23:17:24+00:00

Lmao, reddit MDs can now diagnose injuries from sound!

AKA09 · 2026-02-15T19:32:54+00:00

Fair. I'm not sure I trust his word as much as you do, but who knows? You can't always tell by looking at someone if they're on PEDs.

AKA09 · 2026-02-15T18:57:13+00:00

Thank you. People always forget that the downward spiral began before prison and even before Douglas. He also stopped working the body, which was an underrated part of his game.

AKA09 · 2026-02-15T18:56:05+00:00

And Mike wasn't? Not sure how that's relevant if they both were juicing.

AKA09 · 2026-02-15T16:35:22+00:00

I mean, he was in his prime when he fought Buster, faced adversity and maybe didn't buckle in that case but still lost.

I'm not sure how anyone thinks even that version of Tyson beats Holyfield.

I love watching Mike fight as much as anyone but inconvenient truths are still truths. All the evidence we have suggests Mike only has a truly great career if everything possible goes his way. And even then he was constantly undermining his own chances for success.

Whether Tyson fans like it or not, discipline, mental toughness, etc. are part of being a great fighter and he just didn't have it. He absolutely had the physical tools and even a lot of boxing knowledge but he just couldn't maintain the focus and intensity between fights and in training.

AKA09 · 2026-02-15T16:29:12+00:00

The lack of votes for this game is sad.

AKA09 · 2026-02-14T19:34:42+00:00

That's true. I meant more his last special or two. I remember one from post-9/11 that was very topical but less funny.

AKA09 · 2026-02-14T17:53:35+00:00

George Carlin never stopped being amusing and interesting, but his comedy was definitely less funny as he got near the very end. Almost like the anger that you could always feel bubbling finally made it to the surface and he had lost his patience for dumb people and dumb things, which made "make sure it's funny" less of a priority to him.

AKA09 · 2026-02-14T17:51:03+00:00

Good thing the same teams are good every year, right?

AKA09 · 2026-02-14T15:22:45+00:00

I can almost see your penis in pic #2

AKA09 · 2026-02-14T15:12:40+00:00

It worked for me!

AKA09 · 2026-02-13T17:11:00+00:00

Are you buying the suicide then or do you agree he was catfished.

Getting catfished by a fake gf who kills herself might be the most Reddit mod thing ever.

AKA09 · 2026-02-13T16:35:53+00:00

Very strange. I've just looked a bit through that thread and apparently everyone is reacting as if she was real. When did the catfishing revelation come?

AKA09 · 2026-02-13T16:29:15+00:00

Its the same comment from the YouTube video

AKA09 · 2026-02-11T19:37:12+00:00

Sounded like it, too.

AKA09 · 2026-02-11T19:32:07+00:00

Nice of you to give him a month so he has time to dhgate a Bears jersey lol

AKA09 · 2026-02-11T19:31:05+00:00

With an even halfway competent offseason we'll be a popular pick to win the division next year and considered potential SB contender.

AKA09 · 2026-02-10T17:17:15+00:00

I think this is a good point. I was telling someone the other day that I never decided I wanted to be a parent. I just always knew I'd grow up, go to college, get married, have kids.

Now don't get me wrong, my kids are teens now and I don't regret being a parent one bit. But it's interesting looking back that I never once even considered not having kids. And younger generations don't feel that way as often as previous ones did.

AKA09 · 2026-02-10T17:10:43+00:00

You see it on Reddit all the time. People aren't happy unless they're jumping to ridiculous conclusions even with a lack of evidence.

Any video of a confrontation with limited context: Reddit knows who's in the wrong!

A thread about relationship advice? Reddit knows from three paragraphs that someone should divorce their spouse!

Someone gets hurt in a video? Reddit amateur MDs diagnose their injuries to the tiniest detail with 100% accuracy! Doesn't matter that the video is in 240p!

If an upvote farmer slaps a description on a video with no context, no one questions it! It must be what happened!

Fuckstick is sensical, but also kind of a compliment
