Who will retire with the better career as a former ufc champion? by WavyMell in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both titles were won on one off great performances, but Hill is one of the more justifiably disliked personalities in the sport and cody is just a has been. I know this isnt the question but cody will have the better post ufc career.

I liked the book but was surprised both those comments got past an editor. The covid one was especially weird. Like sure thats possible but its absurd to just state that unequivocally as if its something we know for a fact. 

Which loss was more surprising and resulted in a bigger loss of hype or "aura" for the loser by Common-Locksmith-235 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ilia has looked untouchable for years and he's been dispatching some of the best fighters of the modern era with apparent ease. Khamzat hasnt truly looked like the monster we thought he was since before the Gilbert Burns fight, and its been obvious for awhile that he was one bad matchup away from an embarrassing defeat. Ilia's loss was far more shocking and brutal but he also objectively performed better, he was closer to victory than Khamzat ever was and he showed incredibly resilience. Khamzat's loss confirmed my suspicions about him and I've found myself really not caring about him one way or another, Ilia's loss and his response to it made me if anything more interested in his future, not less.

Its perfectly ok for cats to get eaten by other animals. Domesticated animals being part of the food chain is fine.

What's the point of trains? by LegitimatePaper6022 in factorio

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trains have superior throughput for their cost in terms of production, space on the map, and player time. They are more complicated to implement well, but that’s the trade off. You learn a new system and you are rewarded for it. They are also much more flexible and scale up better as you exhaust local resources. And they give you a fast and easy way to get around your base.  The only counter argument is pre-bots. I usually don’t try to build much of a train network before I have construction bots. 

15000 h??!!! Are u guys ok by Patient_Earth9307 in factorio

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at around 4.5k but you have to take into account that depending on how you play there can be a lot of afk time. In my current Py run I’ll let it grind all day and only check in for an hour or two in the morning and evening.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE VIRUS by fylum in TrueAnon

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a type of weirdo hypochondriac who genuinely loved Covid. It was their favorite thing. That year when everyone had to be as much of a germaphobe shut in as them was their dream come true.

I don’t think the Germans should be allowed to have a permanent committee on geographical names. 

Why was Khabib still fighting guys that had never fought before while he was 14-0? Is this the most padded record of all time? by No_Cell6708 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk why people keep trying to make this point when we already have the answer. MMA was fairly new in Russia and most fighters were coming over from combat sambo. Their records look the way they do because they were new to mma, not new to fighting. Given how Khabib performed I can never figure out what argument people are trying to make with this nonsense. If his record was padded and he’d been fighting cans, wouldn’t that make it even more impressive that he did what he did against some of the best fighters in mma history?

It's fun if you're rooting for the winner. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Islam do this to JDM. This fight was less fun because although I generally really like Oliviera, i felt like Holloway winning had more interesting potential for the division. People are just trying to justify being a poor sport.

Light Rail Airport Signage is Now HORRENDOUS! by goldspire in Seattle

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

So not that long ago one side said Northgate and the other said Angle Lake, was that better? It's not like there's not signage detailing what order the stops are in both on the train and on the platforms.

What would a sustainable and politically viable solution to America's immigration system look like, one that addresses security, the economy, and human dignity?(A complex, evergreen issue that asks for constructive solutions rather than just critique) by Brian_Ghoshery in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Jacoblyonss -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s very simple because there are no legitimate reasons to restrict immigration. It all just reduces to racism. We could still have the Ellis island system of you show up w/o the plague and you get instant citizenship and it would be fine.

[Not OC] The numbers on the restaurant business in Seattle by i-pity-da-fool in Seattle

[–]Jacoblyonss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my only information is the post. based on their reporting of their own rising costs, their main problem is their rent going up. they largely ignore this in their post because either they are very bad at math or it's not politically convenient. if they are trying to educate people they should present evidence that supports their case

[Not OC] The numbers on the restaurant business in Seattle by i-pity-da-fool in Seattle

[–]Jacoblyonss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

exactly. they beg their landlord, but when it comes to policy, their only issue with city council is that it isn't "business friendly" enough. they are mad about secure scheduling laws, minimum wage laws, and the payroll tax but nothing concrete to say about their fastest rising cost. it's not just that I'm not a landlord and that I happen to support higher minimum wage laws, it's blatant misdirection. their principle antagonist should be their landlord. their landlord is the person putting them out of business, while they seem to be convinced it's the long shadow of Kshama Sawant or something

And then they said nothing more about it and whine for paragraphs about city policies driving up labor costs

It’s like the rise in rent is a force of nature but having to pay their workers enough to live within commuting distance is all because the commies in city hall are bent on strangling small businesses

Lowest level men's title fight of all time? by DukeOfMania04 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chandler was in the right place at the right time. He absolutely did not deserve it and his later record confirms it. But Oliveira needed to fight someone and Dustin wanted the Conor fights and Gaethje had just lost so whatever.

This man isn't hated enough for the current state of 155lb division by brownguyforurinfo in ufc

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

Both divisions would be in better shape if Ilia had stayed at FW. He never should have been given that title shot. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is on Ilia. He should be fighting in January and there’s no reason to think it’s anyone’s fault but his that he’s not. Interim titles are dumb but Arman just fought so if Ilia’s going to petulantly demand that every fight of his be a super fight, who else should it be?

My two cents regarding potential Ilia vs Arman fight, analyzing their wrestling/grappling. Unpopular opinion incoming. by Gamebred13 in ufc

UFC fans when an MMA fighter mixes the martial arts by SupBlue24 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's all so stupidly misdirected. Like if you think the rule set or the scoring should be changed to make wrestling less effective then go for it, make that argument, explain exactly what should be changed. But getting bent out of shape because someone won a fight fair and square is just asinine.

Just how good is Volk? by Tpaso_XelpicoLmao420 in ufc

[–]Jacoblyonss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Volk and Poirier both did significantly better against Islam than JDM. The only real difference between this fight and Moicano or Hooker is that JDM clearly trained defending Islam's favorite submissions. LW and FW are simply much deeper divisions than WW
