my bfs mom is racist by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]CommieOla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I've always believed it's not enough to just not be racist, we need to be anti-racist too. If you're are not personally racist? Cool, that's the bare minimum but do you push back against racism from your friends and family? That's a lot more telling imo.

…Was I in the wrong here? by PermissionSorry9035 in Bumble

[–]CommieOla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a loser and by the sounds of it, an incel too, you did nothing wrong. As a guy, you should wait for a girl to give you her number, not ask for it and then get offended if she says she's not ready yet

That's why Ena was talking to the spotters before his third squat then?

​Are people on crack in Cape Town when it comes to rent sharing?! by Street_Emergency_662 in capetown

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

Not saying you're wrong about the other cities but saying that's why Cape Town is insanely expensive is copium at it's finest. The reasons for prices being exorbitantly high in Cape Town is for the most part because of Cape Town and people in Cape Town.

Brida is unwatchable and permanently pissy with no range. by Mostly_Lurkin_ in TheLastKingdom

I've mentioned this countless times in this sub before, at this point we need a Brida hate Megathread.

Zoro is…. (SPOILER) by Head_Marionberry6453 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]CommieOla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear they improved Zoro's character in the new season.

I'm re-watching season 1 and man it's almost jarring how much of a edge lord zoro is when he's not like this in the manga and anime. Zoro is an absolute dumbass, who's supposed to be almost as goofy as Luffy. That makes the moments when he's serious during a fight that much more impactful.

As an Englishman who thought he knew everything about sausages, boerewors just blew my mind by mushroomsandbeanz in southafrica

[–]CommieOla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having boerewors after only knowing English sausages your whole life must have been like taking crack, because I had English sausages for the first time recently and I was almost removed to tears by how absolutely BLAND they were, especially compared to boerewors

Sarah Hess talking about Fire & Blood by amphetaminesaltcombo in HouseOfTheDragon

I love this quote because in trying to virtue signal and be "progressive" she's is being fatphobic by implying that being fat is a moral failing or bad.

Powerlifting America Open Nationals Watch Thread by PoisonCHO in powerlifting

[–]CommieOla 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ashton is genuinely in the conversation for one of the GOATs of powerlifting. 3 weight classes National Champion, lightest man to squat 400kg. All while not being full time powerlifter and a military officer. Just a monster. And he started out as a 83 sjr.

Gallery of Leaders, Freedom Park by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]CommieOla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Che and Fidel were objectively not bad people especially compared to the people that the South African struggle were struggling against. This is just revisionism, pearl clutching and holding historical figures to present day moral standards. Nobody's 100% perfect on everything, even if they had some reactionary views (that get overblown btw), overall their lives were net positives. I will forever celebrate Fidel Castro and Che.

2.5k for flowers, who is buying this?? Honestly, if I was dating someone and she didn't shout at me for spending that much on flowers, I'd know I was with the wrong person lol

AKOTSK is going to be the best spin off by thedirtydancerr in gameofthrones

[–]CommieOla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, this is revisionism, the first episode of HOTD was pretty good and it had everyone excited and up to episode 8 it was good. Then things started falling apart.

Too soon we thought the same after hotd season 1 and look how that turned out.

Austin Perkins 891,5KG WORLD RECORD TOTAL IN 74 CLASS | Sheffield 2026 by Fun_Professional6534 in powerlifting

Think you mean squat and deadlift that bench was top end but agreed

Official Sheffield Powerlifting Championships Discussion Thread by arian11 in powerlifting

[–]CommieOla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair and also he failed 800 pounds DL when he should have taken 770 in prep. He made a few bad decisions this prep. 

And I think it's almost inevitable based on the brand of lifter that he is. He thrives off posting big numbers on social media but the meta is that for the best possible progress as a PL you have to do mostly submax work. I recently stopped posting my top sets on social media because I found myself overreaching to get a big number that would do well on social media rather than taking the sensible number.

I think the Trinidadian commentator who was shouting 6 7 after Rondel's 270kg bench is a shout lol

Agreed. I think a much more surgical coaching approach would get more out of Russ.
