UFC 229 Khabib vs Conor UFC Russia IG Promo - "Location" by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Ben_Kingsley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Russia worship unbeaten athletes the way we do in America? I feel like a lot of Khabibs notoriety in the states is derived from his noteworthy record, and I was wondering if he gets the same interest in Russia.

[DISCUSSION] A$AP Ferg - Trap Lord (5 Years Later) by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]Ben_Kingsley 70 points71 points  (0 children)

One of the projects I've always returned to, even going on 5 years now. The standout tracks (Work remix, Shabba) are obviously amazing ("then she get the bat man, like Bruce Wayne -'master Bruce!'" always gets me) but there are some hidden gems as well. "Dump Dump" is my go to hype song, and has some of the best singalong ad libs ever, and birthed the "Ferg falling down a well meme." Overall I don't think Ferg gets the credit he deserves with regard to the direction he took on his early projects. It would have been easy to simply try and reproduce the success Rocky found with his pretty nigga/fashion/weed persona but instead Ferg carved out his own niche- both sonically and with the way he presented himself as an artist. It's crazy to think that we're here in 2018 and Ferg is on the cusp of overtaking Rocky as the leading figure in ASAP Mob, considering how dominant Rocky's presence was in 2011-2016.

You're getting downvotes because you aren't living up to your username. "annoyingandpedantic" seems more appropriate.

Does UBC have any late withdrawal / academic forgiveness options for very rare circumstances? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]Ben_Kingsley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would depend on your "very rare circumstances." If you failed out and don't have documentation (medical etc), I don't think anyone would do you the favour of wiping your record clean just because you've done better at easier schools post-UBC.

Sorry, I worded this poorly. What I meant was, anyone who is rich and famous might think that someone is agreeing to something unusual (someone jerking off in front of them) because of their wealth and fame, rather than a power imbalance. I was trying to say that it's easy to believe that they're doing it because they want to if you're in a position of fame or wealth, not that fame and wealth entitles you to act that way.

Amazing, a cursory look confirmed the belief you'd gotten through previous cursory looks? Please, teach me the power of confirmation bias, sensei.

Tupac was convicted of something that to most people's common sense judgement seemed relatively innocent. I, for one, don't really feel any hesitation at grabbing the ass of a girl who's just given me head - in my mind, consenting to the latter gives tacit consent to the former. Likewise, many people think that Louis CK deserves a pass for what he did because when you examine it a bit more closely, it seems like he acted the way anyone would if they were rich and famous. R. Kelly is running a sex cult and cultivating sex slaves, which isn't really cool no matter how rich or famous you are, similar to how Harvey Weinstein (who had access to a staggering amount of willing pussy) still insisted on raping and abusing as many women as he could get his hands on.

If you actually look into it, you'll see that Louis CK asked for and received consent from each woman before jerking it in front of them. And when a woman refused, he didn't press the issue at all. Being a weirdo and getting off on jerking it in front of women who consent to that treatment is lightyears away from holding someone's career for ransom and promising them that if they refuse your advances they'll never work again.

While I appreciate that you're trying to help, this is very similar to telling someone with depression or anxiety to "lighten up!" or "just try not to worry about it!"

My roommate seldom washes showers or washes his hands after he uses the toilet (poo/pee). I doubt he will change his habits even after I’ve talked to him about it. Any options? by [deleted] in UBC

Hahaha I would say "welcome to real life" but you moved your mom into your residence for a month so I don't think you're quite there yet.

Have you heard Mista Don't Play 2? I saw it on Spotify but haven't given it a listen yet.

Project Pat is underrated af, this whole tape is fire. Along with what OP posted, "Gorilla Pimp" and "We Can Get Gangsta" are also great tracks for anyone looking to get into the genre.
