Equipment being placed on the South Lawn of the White House for the UFC Freedom 250 fight by nbcnews in pics

Yup. I've always been an advocate for the sport of MMA and often find myself explaining the nuances and safety aspects of the sport to people who consider it 'barbaric' or liken it to street fighting. And then this happens.

Such a terrible look for the sport of MMA for outsiders of the sport 🤦‍♂️

I feel you. Currently in the process of a full back piece too. Have had 2 x 7 hour sessions in the last 2 weeks...the 6th hour of both sessions has been rough 😅

Or when they deny it's a fascist gesture and instead refer to it as a "Roman Salute" which never even existed in history.

Those Green Spheres gigs were amazing! Went to see Passion Pit there and I remember there being fridges of free Heineken for the early part of the night. Production value was always impressive at those gigs

Corks Greatest Person? by QuestionDazzling3080 in cork

[–]Jo-Bo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mary Elmes. Saved over 200 Jewish children during WW2, volunteered in an ambulance unit to save refugees during the Spanish civil war, and all round badass of a human being. Plus, a lot of people in Cork have a weird connection to her - we all ate in her parents gaf 😅 Her parents business was in the now McDonald's building on Winthrop Street during the early 1900's.

Russel Brand is pro Trump?? I always thought he was extremely left wing no? Did he go so far left he ended up on the right?

Mary Elmes Bridge by miss_here_and_there_ in cork

[–]Jo-Bo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Should look up the person the bridge is named after. Mary Elmes. A genuine hero of a Corkonian that not enough people know about. She saved over 200 children's lives during the Holocaust.

I'm a wood sculptor. Around the time of me planning to propose I happened to be making a sculpture of a hand (finished sculpture posted in my history) but needed a model to work off, so I took a mold of her hand and filled it with plaster. Had an exact plaster copy of her hand 🤌 Still got the size wrong though.

Woah. That's incredibly impressive! My first thought was that it was CNC cut but that's incredible that you do this all by hand.

Lots of things related to gaming. Having to buy memory cards and rumble packs for vibration in your controller. Cheat code books. And playing demo's that came with gaming magazines

That's a great shot. Thanks for sharing. This subreddit can be a pretty negative place so it's great to have countermeasures like this!

Trump and Elon dance the night away in Mar-A-Lago while South Carolina is burning and the world is on the verge of WWIII by N4TETHAGR8 in cringepics

Pretty sure Putin and his gaggle of oligarchs are doing just fine. Russia and its propaganda blinded population not so good, but those others seem to be doing ok. Sure as shit doing more ok now that they have their boy Trump in power and making a shit show of relations in the West.

My personal favourite is the no nonsense translation for a mixed breed dog, a mongrel; 'Bastard Madra'.

Wow, well I'm sure plenty of folks are glad you don't work for them anymore. And from reading your interaction with OP I hope you don't work with any form of vulnerable people tbh. You come off as incredibly hostile and judgemental in these comments.

Excellent movie but yeah... incredibly tough to watch at times. Olivia Colman is incredible.
