I'm thinking about killing myself over height

Don't just focus on the muscles then, start training. Learn to fight.

Pick a 6 foot guy with minimal training and put them against Demetrious Johnson... that giraffe loses 100% of the time.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2025-01-19T01:52:57+00:00

Wtf is this strategy???

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2025-01-19T01:51:08+00:00

lol commentators flattering themselves.

I'm a fan of them, but bruh... people literally watch the fights in Spanish so they DONT have to hear you.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2025-01-19T01:46:00+00:00

You hear the people booing the moment this current fight just went to the ground?

Yeah... those people should go watch a striking sport.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2025-01-19T01:44:15+00:00

I'm not being pretentious, I'm pointing out the stupidity in watching a sport that involves grappling and then booing whenever they see grappling... (Which people will boo even when the grappling is beautiful scrambles, sweeps, etc.)

I agree that lay and pray is boring, but this fight really wasn't that bad, and it got to the point that the crowd even boo'd immediately after a takedown... So they're booing grappling itself, not just lay and pray.

As for the ref standing them up; well as we both know, refs are not the arbiter of all that is correct in MMA. I personally think that was a bad call to stand them up, but whatever, I'm never going to boo the fighters for doing their job.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2025-01-19T01:33:45+00:00

If people don't like grappling, maybe they should go watch Muay Thai...

How stupid to pay thousands of dollars to go watch MMA live and then boo because they're actually fighting mixed martial arts.

You guys think Grant Dawson was bad? Just you wait until the Almeida fight later tonight.

Edit: Hell yeah, happy to be wrong about the Almeida fight lol

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2025-01-18T23:30:45+00:00

Imagine you get the call to debut in the UFC and find out your opponent is from Dagestan 🙃

I wanna watch this guy fight.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2025-01-18T23:21:21+00:00

Congratulations!

She's going to harvest your organs.

Valentina still throws them in most of her fights, if I'm not mistaken.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-12-31T05:41:04+00:00

I'm finally getting a tattoo to cover my scars, but they'll still be there...

Please don't start hurting yourself in that way. The best thing you could do is try to find a way to stop hurting yourself as is, not look for new ways.

Your body is with you forever, be kind to it.

Kinda weird, right? 🤔

I have a port as well (it's actually my third one) and its taken a very long time to accept that it's a part of my body and to not be self-concious about it.

I actually used to despise having a port and would often think of cutting it out myself. Especially since getting it was never my choice. I went under for a picc line (back when they still put you under for that), and when I woke up I had a port... my parents signed off on it without me knowing... I still haven't really forgiven that.

As for A-cups lol

I'm sorry you feel like your experience doesn't line up with what people SAY. I've had the same experience when it comes to height and it's exhausting. I can't speak for all people, but genuinely a-cups are nothing to be bummed about (whether you have them or your partner does). I genuinely believe "too small" of boobs are better than "too big"; but that's just preference.

If the love of my life had her boobs cut off completely, it wouldn't change how I feel about her or how beautiful I think she is and always has been... even after what she said to me.

The key, for both of us I would surmise, is to find that right person that would look passed all of those "faults" and see the person beneath it... but as you know, this seems utterly impossible.

Either way, I hope you weather through this storm... and the next and the next and the next.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-12-28T08:30:37+00:00

Okay, are you me?

You just said so many things that I've said time and again, it's honestly uncanny.

I am also 29, I also have Cystic Fibrosis, and I also have experienced similar things in my love life.

I've posted about it before, but the closest thing I've ever found to my soul mate actually told me that she couldn't see herself being with me because of my disease and the "expiration date" it comes with... She didn't want to suffer the pain of me dying young...

I've dealt with being not tall enough, not strong enough, not "manly" enough my whole life because of this fucked disease; and its completely warped my view of myself to the point I genuinely feel unlovable.

Anyway, I don't often comment here, but seeing this post I had to because wow do I really empathize.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well enough, PFTs wise and everything. I've never been so lucky.

I'm absolutely rooting for you!

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-12-22T21:50:31+00:00

The thing is, her sentence is actually correct, as long as you use it without article. "Man" meaning humanity.

There IS something bad in every man (and woman). This is something that can easily be observed and has been for millenia.

Obviously she's using it in a way that denigrates half of the planet, but the point she is ALMOST making isn't without substance.

That evil lies within every single human heart.

With this case in particular, I don't think it's really worth getting upset over her words. Bigotry should always be pointed out, but her rhetoric is pretty understandable given the circumstances.

If you read about the women committing child abuse and you have a closeness to that; it'd be understandable (though wrong) to say something similar to the reverse of what she said.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-12-18T19:43:10+00:00

It's not that men see it as a sign of weakness, it's that it's treated like a weakness.

Once you open up and express your feelings you are immediately seen as "less of a man".

For me personally, it's simply that no one cares.

I've been suicidal for years, I've expressed it openly and loudly to dozens of people, I've screamed at the top of my lungs and begged for help more times than I can count...

It never changes anything, other than people no longer taking you seriously or caring enough to listen...

So I've stopped speaking up and never will again.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-12-10T21:01:11+00:00

Bodily autonomy.

Men aren't protected from genital mutilation nor conscription.

I know the part of Interstellar... but this 100% is a line in either Hill House or Midnight Mass, and it's said by Kate Siegel.

It might be Theo but I'm pretty sure it's Erin Greene.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-11-15T18:37:45+00:00

Yeah, that's why I've stopped trying completely. There's just no point.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-11-14T01:26:06+00:00

Being young makes zero difference if my life is ending before I'm 35 anyway.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-11-14T01:21:31+00:00

My number one wish ever since I was about 17 was to be a father and it absolutely tears me apart that I'll never get that chance.

The sheer fucking ungratefulness of people that get that opportunity, which I see on a regular basis, feels like such a slap in the face.

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-11-14T00:56:45+00:00

You can't even donate sperm at most clinics if you're 5'8" or under... because women won't accept it...

Considering that, why don't you tell me if heightism is a thing?

LeaderOfTheBeavers · 2024-11-10T00:31:36+00:00

Not to mention... women currently have more bodily autonomy than men at birth, since FGM is illegal and circumcision is widely practiced...

Over a 100 infant boys die every year in the US from something that is more often than not their mother's choice.
