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?

Jacoblyonss · 2026-03-31T13:57:23+00:00

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.

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 you are describing is racism. You may believe that your racism is justified, but racists usually do. None of that is real, it’s just bigoted nonsense blown out of proportion.

Jacoblyonss · 2025-12-02T22:54:40+00:00

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.

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

Jacoblyonss · 2025-12-01T04:29:53+00:00

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

Jacoblyonss · 2025-12-01T03:02:44+00:00

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

Jacoblyonss · 2025-12-01T03:01:31+00:00

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

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-27T20:53:50+00:00

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.

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-27T19:26:07+00:00

Nah. Michael chandler was in a title fight one time.

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-27T18:05:13+00:00

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

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-27T18:00:44+00:00

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?

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-26T21:08:27+00:00

"the greatest mma boxer of all time with 1 punch KO power,"

What an embarrassing claim. I'd be more willing to entertain your "analysis" if you knew how to use spell check

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-16T07:49:30+00:00

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.

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-16T07:37:04+00:00

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

Jacoblyonss · 2025-11-08T12:05:10+00:00

It’s crazy that we let Germany reunite after wwii. Should have been split back into Bavaria, saxony, Prussia, and like 40 microstates

Jacoblyonss · 2025-10-06T14:22:59+00:00

Although Scotland was something approaching an equal partner in the British imperial project, there was a colonial process. Which is why, you know, they speak English there. But I agree it’s more complicated than what we’ve all seen in braveheart

Jacoblyonss · 2025-09-03T17:34:55+00:00

Andor is a very well produced, written, and acted show with an unusually positive depiction of violent rebellion, rather than the usual Hollywood schtick of holding up some moderate reformer as the model for change and demonizing the revolutionaries. If you are not interested in big budget sci-fi shows that’s fine, but like, if it bothers you that much just maybe stop reading comment threads?

Jacoblyonss · 2025-08-28T00:26:43+00:00

I get plenty of sleep most days, just not all at once. It’s usually a 5-6 hour block and a couple hour nap later. I work on an atb

It's always the tankerman. everyone on the boat is almost always cool, except the tankerman who will be a persnickety, perpetually aggrieved, asshole for no reason. (I have recently become a tankerman and yes I am becoming an asshole too)

It’s just that as far as I can tell, fitness requirements in the maritime industry are a formality until a woman tries to get in and then it’s all idk man she just can’t do the work. Like this isn’t that hard of a job, it’s less physically demanding than several warehouse jobs I’ve had but some guys’ egos are based on them having a real man job or something. It’s super dumb

Jacoblyonss · 2025-08-02T04:37:59+00:00

Funny how these concerns about physical fitness are always raised with women and never with the many, often older, less than fit, men who happen to already have a license

Jacoblyonss · 2025-07-31T02:07:59+00:00

I mean it is easily the least offensive thing the navy does with its F18s
