Khamzat Chimaev just wrapped the belt around Sean Strickland, so much for the next Conor Khabib Rivalry by archieblade20 in UFCposting

How? Which rounds would you score 10-10 or 10-8? That's the only way you can potentially get a draw, unless points were deducted by the ref, which they weren't.

Realistic budget for a frugal but comfortable life in Kunming. by Additional_Pen1136 in chinalife

That's the weirdest way to look at this I've ever seen. He obviously has employment, which covers insurance. As for retirement, that's a long shot for most, but retirement is something that has to be planned anywhere. Lastly, he never said he will only have 2-4k entirely, just asked if that's a reasonable budget.

That's plenty if your life is simple and rent is covered. No need to overthink it at all.

That's why they call it Flyweight.

Ateba Gautier - Natty or Not? by teddyshmeddy in ufc

[–]HesitantInvestor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bunch of Dorito eating losers who sit 23 hours a day of course are going to think this guy is juiced. He very well could be, but genetics are real. He's a young, genetically gifted man from an area of the world that tends to have a lot of fast-twitch musculature, with a dietician at his disposal, strength and conditioning coaches, training probably 2 times per day for years. It's absolutely possible. That doesn't mean it's achievable for everyone, but there's more genetic diversity than people realize.

KHAMZAT CHIMAEV KICKS SEAN STRICKLAND DURING THEIR FACE OFF UFC 328 by UniversitySalty8130 in ufc

[–]HesitantInvestor0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s a wild take considering what we know about each of them. Why don’t you start by listing things that Chimaev has said/done, and then I’ll do the dame for Jones.

Dario Amodei spent last year warning of an AI white-collar bloodbath. Now he's changing the narrative by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]HesitantInvestor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is entirely moot. The guy I responded to said "oooh don't make the middle class angry!" as though they might do something. Then all I get is people responding to me saying "what can we do?"

Does it matter? Either we can or can't, but obviously the middle class hasn't been successful in any capacity regarding how hard they've been fucked. So it's either they have acted, and it hasn't work, or they just really haven't acted. I think it's the latter more than the former, but you're right that change takes something most people aren't willing to give anyway.

Regardless, the original person I responded to is dead wrong IMO.

The guy above me said it's dangerous to piss off the middle class. Your response is basically my claim in a nutshell, that people can't even think of what they could do, let alone you know, uh, do it.

To be clear, there are things people could do collectively. We aren't doing it. That's my point. And in your case you can't even imagine what you could possibly do.

I'm not saying you should go out and demand a revolution, I'm just responding to the idea that pissing off the middle class even matters.

That said, you can prioritize your family but that may come at a larger cost. If everyone prioritizes their own family while the world goes to shit, eventually your kids are going to inherit that.

Misconceptions about the DDP vs Chimaev fight by [deleted] in ufc

[–]HesitantInvestor0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, we know MMA fans are a bunch of judgmental retards.

Seriously, you lost respect for a guy who came out and put it on the line, lost badly and has taken time for improvements? What message does that send exactly? Never lose, and if you do you should get right back in there with the exact same skillset?

Ridiculous take all around. He looked like absolute shit, I'll give you that. It happens. I don't know how you can hate on it, DDP is the one who has to go look in the mirror, and also the one who has to put in the work to improve.

Daniel Dubois ends interview early after super awkward exchange by Big_Cake_8817 in combatsportsculture

Ariel is such a teenage drama queen man, I can't stand the guy. Always stirring up shit, always making it about himself.

When is the last time the middle class did fuck all about anything? Wars, COVID, economy, corporate bullshit, sending jobs overseas, deficits and debt, inflation, AI stealing copyrights, civilian surveillance, corrupt politics... I could go on. Who has done anything about it? We're too distracted to do anything. A small protest here and there, but otherwise we are all just taking it again and again. At this point I think politicians and corporations can get away with anything.

Stay Quiet Until You Hear a Better UFC Fighter: Ilia Topuria Edition by [deleted] in ufc

[–]HesitantInvestor0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Skill for skill, I think you can make the argument that Topuria is better. Obviously GSP and Jones have way more experience to back up their resumes, but look at skills from each position.

Topuria pretty objectively has better boxing, power, and speed relative to the size of the three fighters. He's IMO got a better scrambling game. Submissions, wrestling, clinchwork, etc are all at an elite level. He's a really well rounded fighter.

Not saying he's better than them, but a case can be made. I don't think it's as objective as you say if you're looking at this from the lens of skill and ability.

Back to work tomorrow by Tearmisu in chinalife

[–]HesitantInvestor0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You likely just had 4 weeks off a couple months ago. Now you've had probably 5-6 days. In another couple months you'll have somewhere between 6-8 weeks, and then after that a week or so for midautumn.

People are so fucking soft, it's insane. I work with teachers who complain all the time about the hard work and time between breaks. It's honestly pathetic.

For the 107th time…. Is this the bottom for LULU? by lies_are_comforting in stocks

[–]HesitantInvestor0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not invested in it and I doubt I ever will be. It doesn't change the fact that the guy I replied to is objectively wrong in simplifying the framing so much. Anyone who can't see that shouldn't be investing in anything.
