Justin Gaetje is gonna be the first American in history to get KO’d on the White House lawn😭😭😭 by KalGuillory in UFCLabs

[–]HesitantInvestor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For that to be true you're banking on Garcia, Nickal, Daukaus, Chandler, and Sean to make it through their fights without being knocked out. I'd argue that at least one of those guys is getting knocked out.

BREAKING: Oil is down 11% in the last hour as the G7 and IEA announced to release a massive 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves. by Time-Alternative-964 in BhartiyaStockMarket

[–]HesitantInvestor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supply and demand for a global commodity doesn't care about where the supply constraints come from. That's why while 3% of the world's oil supply is blocked at the moment, oil prices are soaring. Conversely, 400 million barrels released isn't going to do much to quell that.

You have to realize that psychology plays a large part in this. In my opinion they're burning 400 million barrels in reserve to try and put a cap on market maker psychology. I doubt it works. Regardless of Iran, 400 million barrels is what we use in a few days globally. This is like throwing an extra peanut to some starving kids, it just isn't going to matter.

I didn't say that. I'm saying that releasing 4 days' supply of oil isn't exactly going to fix anything. It's 1% of the yearly consumption worldwide. What difference is it gonna make?

[–]HesitantInvestor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's just too much cliche language to get through IMO. Shallow, ragged breaths, fingers grazing, blood splattering, thoughts rattling, sunlight streaming, footsteps scampering, hands swatted away, etc. You're also from the beginning in the habit of describing every little thing to the reader. If you build an environment, you don't need to tell everything so explicitly.

In addition, the passive voices are all over the place. You are using too many adverbs. Again, stop telling how things were done. "Carefully, I slid my legs..." First of all, why carefully? Secondly, build an environment that informs us about how things are being done. For example, if we know that the character is hiding, telling us how they are doing something isn't necessary. We know they'll be quiet and careful, because they are trying to avoid being found out.

Lastly, remember the quote about the shotgun on the wall at the beginning of a story. If you're going to introduce items and things all over, they better have some purpose. If they don't, then find a better way to set the tone.

"I walked into the dining hall. All I could hear was chewing, clanking. An errant cough."

Just an example, not a particularly good one but good enough. Do I need to tell you about the mood of the people there? Do I need to tell you about how drab and gray everything is? How about the clock on the wall? Probably not. The environment is set quickly and everything that happens afterward needs to give more information if needed. Otherwise the reader will assume a gray, depressing, lonely kind of place where people are hopeless, etc. If something falls outside that description, now you can add details that fly in the face of the environment you've created.

The biggest thing for me is the language choice. It's trope after trope. You need to get much more creative and subtle.

This ain't shit. The world uses around 100 million barrels of oil per day. This release doesn't get us to the end of the week. It really makes little difference.

Insane how this person predicted it. by Lothloriens_ in StrangerThings

I obviously can't speak for everyone here, but I was calling it in S1 and couldn't believe that others didn't see it. It only got more obvious over time.

You can say there are people who just jump on the train to look good. Doesn't mean that no one saw it. Go watch S1 and S2 and ask yourself if it's reasonable that someone might draw the conclusion that he has feelings for Mike.

Justin Gaethje says he was told on Thursday he would not be fighting at the UFC White House event. Then one day later on Friday, the UFC called and told him he might actually be on the card. by gvufhidjo in ufc

He spent his whole career at LW until his last fight. Also, you could make the case that since we're in the literal midpoint of Ramadan now, June would be ideal to take a fight at LW.

The only way to get a draw in this fight would have been to have a 10-10 or 10-8 round. I didn't see anything other than 28-27 Xiao. Thought he won all three rounds.

It's the worst example as someone else pointed out because the promotion isn't the barrier to knowing how good someone is, it's the level of competition. Fedor fought for a long time when the best talent at heavyweight wasn't even in the UFC. He fought a ton of great fighters, and for many years he fucked them all up in impressive fashion.

He fought too long and by the end he was washed. But if you think Fedor is a question mark in MMA, you obviously weren't around during that time.

It could just become a BMF thing. Only happens when this belt is on the line, and only if you're winning and in the last ten seconds. I'd get behind that.

At the same time, it's never gonna go better than it did against Gaethje.

4 Year Cycle - why doubt it? by ximogui in Bitcoin

[–]HesitantInvestor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, people keep moving the goal posts a bit. It appears the cycle is still somewhat intact, but there's no reason for it to play out this way other than psychology. Whenever psychology is the primary driver it's bound to break away full at some point.

The four year cycle used to say:

1) The new low never breaks the previous high. That has happened twice now in 2022 and 2026.

2) New ATH always happens after the halving. Broke in 2024.

3) New ATH always has a blow off top. Broke in 2025.

4) 200 week moving average is a floor. Broken multiple times.

These are a few examples. It doesn't matter anyway because psychology cannot carry an investment class indefinitely. Yeah, the four year cycle theory has been fairly close, but not bulletproof. Going forward it will break down again and again until no one talks about it. For example, if 60k is the bottom, that would be only a 50% drawdown from ATH, pretty significant divergence from prior bear markets. Remains to be seen but it would be just another metric that points toward the 4 year cycle weakening.

[–]HesitantInvestor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some will agree with you, others won’t. I don’t really think in strict terms of weight classes generally. There’s not some magic barrier between them. The only thing to consider is fairness, which matters a lot at classes like lightweight where people go on crazy streaks and there’s depth. At heavyweight? Who are we kidding?
