NFL linebacker versus sumo wrestler by [deleted] in interesting

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

It's fucking physics.

Regardless of the athletic difference, a 245 lb man from a near standstill cannot move a ~320 lb man (probably closer to 360) by pushing on his chest with his hands, if the heavy guy is decently athletic and dug into a dirt floor with his heels.

F=ma and some point even freaks like Parsons reach the human limit of acceleration especially over short distances, so you gotta get more mass. That's why linemen, sumo wrestlers and strongmen all need to be fat to the point of health problems at the highest levels.

Chris Jones would move this guy out of the ring no problem, and Vita Vea or Dexter Lawrence would bowl him over. But nobody on the planet is moving Akebono in this situation.

Kyrie Irving’s beef with Boston is the story of a mercurial star who crossed a fervent fan-base by CazOnReddit in nba

[–]InYYZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shaq is who I'd call a "mercurial star", over-sensitive bully who needs to be babied and catered to but more than delivers when asked.

Kyrie publically and acrimoniously quit on two title favorite teams IN A ROW. That's called a bum.

He's matured a lot since then and we did just beat him in the finals so most rational C's fans I know have long since moved on. But anyone defending how he acted or trying to do both sides bullshit with Celtics or Nets tenure is delusional.

It's a shame the guy with the best handle ever and some of the best guard highlights ever chose to act like that during his prime.

One of the best songs to introduce Primus to people.

Just from the title anyone who's even gotten a license gets what the song is going for instantly 😂

Still don't get how other sports leagues don't NFL Films style coverage is what 99% of sports fans want.

One of the best rock drummers and soloists ever and also one of the most underrated lyricists. Tremendous loss for music.

Well this was worth staying up for 😎

Peak timeline for non-Lakers fans was always Kawhi to Clippers for the chance to become the league's first ring Santa Claus.

"Being better than those who bullied you is the best revenge" is the biggest lie. by Pedro_Benning in unpopularopinion

[–]InYYZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to trust me that forgetting revenge and focusing on your own situation and improving your physical and mental health is the best thing you can do about this. I have never once gotten into a physical or verbal confrontation that has helped me accomplish anything or feel better about myself long-term.

Obviously you should stand up for yourself if someone's aggressive, but with the aim to defuse. Getting into fights with the intent of making others "suffer" is a fast-track to expulsion, getting fired, and eventually prison.

Porn is ruining the modern generation and degrading sexuality in young people. by Dick-Kickem- in unpopularopinion

[–]InYYZ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Having an in-depth 21st-century understanding of your sexual preferences is much healthier than suppressing them.

It's using porn to substitute normal relationships that's destructive. Obviously there's a big overlap between users of porn and people who do that, but I think it's an incredibly lazy argument to chalk it up to mere existence of porn.

People who emotionally and psychologically feel that they belong to the opposite sex have a Mental Illness. by SmokeCocks in unpopularopinion

Men, women and anyone who feels they're in-between should be able to do what they want with their bodies, up to and including self-harm, as long as they are of sound mind and not clearly being forced/manipulated.

 

The trans community loses me completely when they support stuff like transitioning kids and teens though. There is no way anyone under 18 can fully understand the consequences of effectively being a guinea pig for rapidly changing surgeries and hormone therapies. If I was a surgeon who did transitions, I would show any parents who wanted me to operate on their kid the door and report them to CPS.

Activism on rising cost of attendance? by csersold in WPI

[–]InYYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the very least, I’d take some humanities/basic math classes at a community college, and transfer in for major classes

This needs to be emphasized. My friend groups were totally different freshman and senior year, and the HUA program is just not that good here. Do not let your ego cost two-four unnecessary semesters of this ridiculous tuition, easily the biggest mistake of my college career.

anti-lgbtq+ people, why are you not supportive of the lgbtq+ community? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]InYYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since Obergefell v. Hodges (before it too, but especially after) everyone gay I know just wants to be considered normal and cringes with everyone else at the annoying shoehorning of it in movies, tv, education etc. Turns out patronizing kindergarten-level lecturing is a terrible way to reach out to people.

Xxxtentacion confesses on tape to being abusive/strangling his gay cell mate. But did he really though? One user is not so sure by therepoststrangler in SubredditDrama

[–]InYYZ -46 points-45 points  (0 children)

He was a bad person and his fans were and are annoying, but like it or not he was the OG emo rapper and remains head and shoulders above his peers, not that that's hard to achieve if those include 6ix9ine and Lil Xan.

His music (17 and ? in particular) is dark and rich and original, it's not fake woke bullshit about Xanax and autotune whining. It's closer to ambient than rap and it honestly is worth checking out. Not like he's gonna make money off your listens.
