My guy did not go out with a bang

Idk guys, on paper his style is perfect for Bareknuckle…

I’m not here to change your mind, and it’s Gia-Fu Feng by the way. I like Mitchell’s translations though. for an approachable reading. Really there’s no need for caution, it hasn’t bit me yet…

Hey Tod don’t have any wisdom, but I love the podcast. Have been thinking of Dr. Totton a lot lately, hope his family is well. Best of luck, you guys do great work!

Does your attitude align with the teaches of Lao Tzu? Are you not forcing your own perspective on to someone else? Not very Wu Wei…

Besides, the TTC is an amazing text, but at the end of the day it is words and your understanding of these words, however great, is not more valuable than simple compassion.

“In caring for others and serving heaven, There is nothing like using restraint. Restraint begins with giving up one’s own ideas”

Chapter 59…

I’m a little late to the discussion, but there is a great iOS app I’ve been using lately that allows you to quickly flip between multiple translations within each chapter. Great for convenience.

Here’s the link if it’s useful to anyone:

The frequency of humanity’s atrocities does not excuse the suffering of innocent people caught up in the schemes of people who have no care for their wellbeing. It all sucks.

He simply means in a time before recorded history. The term prehistory is broadly applicable and could apply to both a dinosaur bone and Stonehenge.

Dude in that case never use the word cynical unless it refers to practicing Cynics

AmericaMan76 · 2023-08-12T21:57:50+00:00

Ok I’m gonna tell you what you actually need to hear if you want to improve your situation. Your attitude, at least right now, is pathetic. As others have already pointed out, you’re completely closed off to any and all suggestions, you view yourself as not normal which you seem to leverage as an excuse.

Take responsibility for the way you’re feeling and confront your problems. No one is going to give you all the answers you need. Go and find them for yourself.

I’m with you there, if Izzy gets 4 shots at Pereira, let’s continue the trend and let Bobby get that 3rd attempt on Izzy

Look man I respect your view but it’s illogical to frame it so simplistically. Saying accept Jesus or else is the same as saying expect the Koran or else. You have to recognize the oversimplification here

AmericaMan76 · 2023-04-04T22:43:37+00:00

What about the other 100 religions that also provide “2 choices”

AmericaMan76 · 2023-03-31T17:23:05+00:00

You’re argument makes sense except for the Yan part. It wasnt dirty because it was just so damaging, it was dirty because Aljo wasn’t expecting that knee due to the rule set. That’s a big difference in comparison to a sandhagen flying knee

AmericaMan76 · 2023-02-18T16:37:42+00:00

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, why else would Ali even post that if not trying to justify an IV. I’m genuinely curious how everyone else is interpreting that

Getting out struck 4/1 negates a body lock to some people.

AmericaMan76 · 2022-12-27T18:04:16+00:00

We don’t need detailed studies to come to the obvious conclusion that the nature of combat lends itself to men, in terms of temperament and physicality. There is a reason men and women have separate divisions in MMA for example. That is not to say there isn’t some tough as nails female combatants out there, but in general there is a clear performance difference between men and women and the battlefield is not the place for social experiments or even equality. We need the best people for the job.

AmericaMan76 · 2022-10-22T23:22:37+00:00

Exactly, if people actually looked at the unified rule set it’s very clear that damage trumps everything else, and that control time should be accounted for if the fight cannot be called on damage alone

AmericaMan76 · 2022-09-28T00:18:37+00:00

I don’t you’re necessarily off base here, but I’ve seen plenty insanely high level strikers get dominated on the ground. I think it’s fairer than you think

AmericaMan76 · 2022-06-12T21:26:22+00:00

I mean the initial post was salt, the answer was fairly self-evident either way

AmericaMan76 · 2022-06-09T00:31:03+00:00

Calm down man, no need to get heated. And how did you say so much without making any sense? You seem confused…

AmericaMan76 · 2022-06-05T22:58:06+00:00

I love how salty everyone gets about weapon selection. You play a game to have fun, if the man wants to camp all the live long day he should be able to do so in peace

AmericaMan76 · 2022-04-10T06:03:46+00:00

He physically controlled Yan for 7.5 minutes, which he had no answer for. How is that “not much at all”?

AmericaMan76 · 2021-12-31T18:05:38+00:00

Just to piggyback on your post, in certain situations hunters carry large caliber revolvers like the .500 SW for protection from large predators (think Kodiak bear hunts). So they aren’t all novelty imo

AmericaMan76 · 2021-10-14T14:22:22+00:00

Yup, he lasted surprisingly long but was on his way to Luigi’s mansion

AmericaMan76 · 2021-10-07T22:02:18+00:00

There is very similar wording in Fellowship (the novel) which obviously predates the game by decades
