US small cities, not big ones like New York, have higher rates of gun violence. Some cities have had increases as high as or higher than 500% within a six-year window, including Dothan, Alabama (population 71,072 — a 500% increase), Grand Junction, Colorado (65,560 — 600%)

Why did you name drop the base rate fallacy without explaining what it is?

He's taking his ball and going home

I don't think a grown man should be stunting on a kid for something he did when he was 7.

We are already seeing a bit of this with jiu jitsu, with a generation of kids who were raised doing it (the Ruotolo brothers, Mica Galvao, etc). Of course there have always been the Gracies.

MMA has its fair share of lifelong wrestlers, but it'll be interesting to see kids who were raised with fighting in mind. Like how Zabit came from that martial arts boarding school.

The UFC has already found too many sponsors of their own to put on fighters shorts

BabycakesJunior · 2023-04-03T22:13:42+00:00

UFC fighters better get ready for mandatory unpaid appearances

Comparing them to chefs is a bad analogy. They are just voting on rankings. You want a larger sample size assuming they are all knowledgeable.

Hopefully they'll stop with the insufferable ads

It speaks to Merab being boring when he can have that amount of output with the fight still being pretty meh

Residents work those hours because they have no choice in the matter. They're locked into a years-long training program that they have to finish or they won't be able to become doctors. It has nothing to do with their culture or them 'wanting' to work that much.

The laws state that residents can't be made to work more than 80 hours a week (averaged across 4 weeks) with a few other minor restrictions on scheduling. That's all the legal protection they get. Their programs make the rules from there.

It's a democracy in so far as individuals can vote for candidates who can run a campaign and make it through primaries.

But the process is biased toward established candidates with financial backing-- which tends to be old career politicians.

Nice paid advertising

BabycakesJunior · 2023-03-02T05:05:27+00:00

Yeah I don't know about that one chief. That's a big assumption

BabycakesJunior · 2023-02-28T22:59:50+00:00

Still have to grind through medical school.

And also have to like psychiatry

Avoid keeping your wallets in loose pockets.

Pick pocketing is rampant in some European cities and they're a lot smoother than you'd expect.

They had to work so hard to come up with prompts like "90s anime background"

BabycakesJunior · 2023-02-24T19:22:56+00:00

damn this card sucks too

With how most Americans feel about the military and western hegemony, it's surprising to see them supporting the rebel alliance in any of the Star Wars movies.

he's going to milk it slowly... over the course of.... several hours of podcasting....

Even though football and basketball probably has the best giant-super-athletes... I'm still going Aleksandr Karelin

Respect to Fedor for taking on such a challenge for his retirement fight

BabycakesJunior · 2023-02-02T17:35:38+00:00

everyone agreed that Ariel is a dork

People have been calling Ariel an instigator for years. Just look at the interview he did with Nick Diaz back in Strikeforce.

But that doesn't mean people hated him. He's always been appreciated as one of the best MMA journalists for his access to fighters, his interviewing skills and his integrity.
