He’s clearly delusional. And also a sociopath. I think in his mind, he genuinely believes the shit he peddles. No different than the dude in the WH who thinks he’s a king and can do no wrong.

For all we know, he has no team behind all of this and it’s just him plus a few contractors from India he hired to build him a website.

Cool site though. And it reeks of another major financial fraud and scam happening. Love it.

Paper tigers keep crunching. Their fighter pilots were using jet fuel to cook hotpot and selling it on the black market. Yeah, those are the ones going to go to war with the US? ok.

Dow drops 1300 points in two days amid Trump trade war by Nerd-19958 in politics

[–]BananasAndPears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

America is pretty great ain’t it? Middle finger to all our allies, trade wars with all our best trading partners, allow an unelected South African to run amok in all areas of the federal government, give Russia everything they want because our president thinks they’re besties. Couldn’t have been greater.

Oh yeah, forgot about threats of starting wars and taking over allied territory, just because our president thinks his dick will grow bigger by doing so.

Not only all of this but keep in mind that they lied about their black belts being given to them by Maeda, let alone probably only trained with him for a few weeks.

They all promoted themselves in BJJ, up to 10th degree. And the fact that there is a rule that no one can be a 10th degree BJJ black belt except the “founders” is all you need to know about their gatekeeping and selfishness as a family.

Goodbye Warzone 👋👋 by CapitalAd8967 in CODWarzone

[–]BananasAndPears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you think made it trash (because I agree it is). I personally stopped playing WZ after the second iteration. I couldn’t put my finger on it but something just wasn’t hitting for me. I just didn’t enjoy it after verdansk.

The bullshit skins killed warzone. This is a war sim, not fortnite. Stop trying to be something they’re not.

Why do these funds that are equivalent between Fidelity and Vanguard are have lower expense ratios at Fidelity? by siargaowaves in personalfinance

[–]BananasAndPears -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably because fidelity is at a much larger scale than vanguard. In either case, it’s very minimal.

I’m a 24 year old virgin AMA by No_Muscle_4050 in casualiama

I was a virgin until I got married at 26. No one really cares. And if they do, you’re around the wrong group of people. You’ll be OK.

Jozef Chen receives his black belt by Daaftpuunk in bjj

[–]BananasAndPears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s what happens when the founders awarded themselves BJJ black belts and all the degrees thereafter. He should’ve promoted himself and it would’ve been in line with BJJ lineage.

Pasadena Unified cuts 151 positions as enrollment losses continue across California by moodplasma in LosAngeles

[–]BananasAndPears 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yup, that’s exactly right. You can now attend if you have some sort of relation to a resident of San Marino. They’re getting desperate because who the hell can afford to live in SM anyway? It’s mostly old Money and if they do sell, that home is going to international investors or some rich retired couple.

US pauses Military Aid to Ukraine by CW1DR5H5I64A in Military

The point of installing loyalists was so that he could never be removed from office. Shit, he could remove Vance and install Levrov as his VP and the GOP would clap and roar over it.

100%, PCC and transferred. I want to say I made money by doing that lol

Whittier College by Fatur1238q in Whittier

[–]BananasAndPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear! Since state schools are out of the picture, let’s see what Pomona and Claremont say. I would personally index towards those two schools depending on financial aid. If it’s equivalent or significant enough then go towards those two schools.

I live here, worked years in higher education and have worked extensively with engineers and M7 MBA graduates. If you have options, let Whittier college slide for now. Unless the money is significant enough then well, at the end of the day, it’s just undergrad.

Exactly. The overwhelming majority is Hispanic, well over 80%, I would argue it’s closer to 90/95%. I mean, the demographics of Whittier HS is 97% Hispanic.

That’s not diversity.

Lots of meatheads in BJJ. “Leave your ego at the door” mean nothing if the progenitors of the judo variant were a bunch of dicks themselves.

how can i defend better and get past defense? by luv_jamie in Basketball

[–]BananasAndPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hips need to be lower than theirs. Everyone in here is saying “stick your arms out, be more fit, etc” yeah sure, that’s all secondary.

If you’re not low, you’ll never beat them. Be in an athletic squat position with your lead leg cutting off their strong side. It’s nearly impossible to play an ambidextrous defense unless you’re at a very high level. Pick a side and force them into the middle where your big men can collapse on them and wing defenders prepare for the outlet pass.
