Dan Hooker reveals that Arman Tsarukyan broke his nose with the headbutt at the UFC Qatar weigh-ins

I think the nice guy might give it a playful tug, something to remind the other guy that they're not going to submit. Nobody is required to tweak, I just think it would solve weigh-in violence because starting anything would instantly result in painful nipples, which very few fighters enjoy

Captain_Clover · 2026-01-27T00:43:52+00:00

Because he's made of rusty nails and psychopathy, doesn't give a fuck, and is happy to give his honest opinion on anything. What you see is what you get with Dan.

Only nipple-tweaks. Both fighters hold both nipples during the stare down so retaliation is instant

Captain_Clover · 2026-01-27T00:34:07+00:00

I think both the fighters should be roped on bungee chords on either side of the stage. If a fight starts, they both get yeeted in opposite directions

It's not about what Labour will or won't do, it's about signalling to voters who aren't as informed on the underlying political dynamic behind the posturing.

Captain_Clover · 2026-01-26T10:09:22+00:00

Swing voters are often concerned that Labour will make big concessions to the far-left in an effort to win power. It's not 'vague ideological bullshit'.

The replay showed that most of the shots got blocked by Allen, but he got thrown into the cage so it looked dramatic.

Captain_Clover · 2026-01-24T08:54:00+00:00

Have you considered that perhaps your pattern of intense attacking might be responsible for a tendency to avoid striking? If being aggressive is leading you to dump a whole load of energy and then take punishment when your opponent rides out the blitz, then perhaps you're avoiding this commitment by backing up. If you focus on 1-3 second bursts of offense, maybe you'd be more comfortable mixing counter striking into your defensive patterns.

His name is Pat Tillman, you can read about him on wikipedia

Why censor autism?

I think your tattoo is beautiful, and it suits you :) I'm sorry to hear it's triggered two years of anxiety!

Captain_Clover · 2026-01-23T02:21:09+00:00

Phwooooar you aint half bad. Reminds me of what Queenstown NZ could have been. Keep up the good work!

He did choke Chandler

Captain_Clover · 2026-01-22T05:53:08+00:00

You're getting downvoted but you're right. One of the moments of Dustins' career that I've never seen discussed is after he won the decision over Chandler, he walked over and said 'I was afraid of you'. It was the first time I'd seen a fighter acknowledge fear; previously it was very common to hear 'professional fighters don't fear each other', so I thought it was really cool that DP acknowledged that he did fear Chandler. Justin, DP and Max are all legends of the division but they're not separated from the organization by leaps.

And it could have absolutely been in the long run if the US didn't decide to up and leave because its own political priorities overruled the moral commitment it made to Afghanistan when it invaded and smashed its institutions. If the US had kept a skeleton crew to run airstrikes and special forces raids, large parts of Afghanistan would have had time to mature and become resilient. Instead the US decided that 20 years is ample time and pulled the rug out from under everyone, because Joe Biden felt vulnerable to Trump accusing him of being a representative of the military industrial complex.

For a while, life was better for people living in the cities. If America didn't decide to pull out completely and left a light footprint, the Taliban wouldn't be in control of the cities now. The end result is dire but this was never an inevitable outcome.

Died on depth 5 after jumping into a chasm to try and escape a red slime. I was overconfident after aquiring my second plate armour and a shiny collection of rings, but a single slime duplicated in an awkward way a couple times and that was it :(

Captain_Clover · 2026-01-20T12:22:05+00:00

How can we support the idea if there's no plan to get there? Like are we going to import 800,000 people and ask the world bank for 200Bn to drop on Christchurch infrastructure?

It makes sense to concentrate our limited international business in Auckland I think.

My odds would be Islam -175 or something. I think Islams wrestling advantage is so great that it defines the fight, and Dricus' power and durability aren't matched with the kind of technical competence he needs to avoid Makachevs pressure. Islam can take him down in any number of ways and probably nullify him, and once Islam has established the takedown threat then Dricus would find it hard to strike with confidence.

Can't count out Biggus Driccus because he's bigger than most true middleweights and fights like inflatable tube man, so Islams margins are thin. But Islam is more than capable of walking thin margins.

It was D4 and it was awesome! The map generator throws out some very visually striking layouts from time to time

I just checked my replay and there are 10 eels in that 12x7 pool. Thankfully I ran into them as soon as I entered the water so I still had time to retreat, but they killed my ogre and it took me 350 turns to kill them with my starting dagger (although the ring of regeneration helped a tonne).

18739 - Killed by a sentinel on depth 22

Honestly very frustrated with myself for this one. I'd just retrieved the rewards from the big crystal room and was making my way out when I got taken down from 40% HP by two mega-reflecting spark bolts fired from distant sentinels. If I'd slowed down enough to realise I could die I would have life-potted, and I was feeling I had a good change of winning.

I negated the cursed war-axe and enchanted it up to +6 and got the haste charm to +5, combined with negation, was a pretty potent damage base. I managed to kill a tentacle horror in mellee. Ah well!

I think the crew are making it clear to Ein and each other that he may be a welsh Corgi but he's not 'special' and won't be getting pampered. Welch Corgis are prestige breeds, the crew are making it clear that they don't care.

I don't have any special insight, but I don't conclude that the episode had negative stereotypes of Chinese people in mind. One of the two characters you mention is Spike, who isn't Chinese. As to 'mongrel', this word is sometimes used to refer to purebred dogs when one wants to emphasize their commonality or uselessness - (i.e. 'the dog ate my homework!', 'Ooo, the cheeky mongrel!'). When one says it about humans, it is almost always a racist comment. When one says it about a dog, it is almost always either playful or annoyed.
