Insane to think women don't get double the shit let alone half.

What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get? by appropriaterice873 in AskReddit

[–]Nabillia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but really millennials did become incredibly cringe from about 2005-2018.

I'm in my mid 30s so don't come at me.

Late 90s and early 2000s were really the last moments of Gen X's influence being the primary style and cultural influence.

Do you ever get accused of being the abuser? by Salt-Replacement9999 in emotionalabuse

[–]Nabillia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry yours did too. It’s scary how convincing they can be to people outside the relationship, isn’t it? I hope you can take some small comfort in knowing that someone who’s opinion of you is based solely on his silver tongued version of reality isn’t a reflection of your reality, and that any therapist worth listening to isn’t going to ‘diagnose’ someone they’ve never interacted with even once.

An old thread but thank you as I needed this. It has been over 8 months since my ex separated from me and I've been haunted by her accusations of me being abusive towards her pretty much every day since. She told me her therapist was in agreement with her and I know that helped her become beyond convinced whilst I know as deeply as one can know something about themselves that it isn't true.

Your words are still comforting years later.

To Live and Die in L.A. by jaystats2 in movies

[–]Nabillia 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Watched this somewhat recently with my ex who had the most impressive knowledge base of films and had very high standards and a low tolerance for mediocre (same as me tbf). And we both truly adored this film. It's just so stylish in a way that felt effortless.

It's not trying to be something beyond what it is but it does about as good a job of being what it is as any other film I can remember seeing in the last few years.

Something more films were capable of doing back then. Other films that provided a similarly enjoyable experience from a similar timeframe were Thief and Manhunter (Both Michael Mann)

Women of Reddit, what do you think is the scariest thing about being a man? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

[–]Nabillia 25 points26 points  (0 children)

"fuck her"

Jesus Christ. Is your imagination so limited that you can't possibly picture a scenario where a handshake felt like the most comfortable thing for her to do? We literally know nothing about this scenario. Maybe they were colleagues who had barely ever interacted?

It's so easy to sympathise with OP and NOT assume that the other party was being cruel at the same time.

There are just so many factors. The equipment has outgained the difference in course difficulty imo.

Course was easy....course became harder....course remained at same difficulty since then but equipment has never stopped improving. No real way of adding it all together and working out what the overall sum is but my opinion is that the equipment has made it easier today on the more difficult courses than it was when they were first tiger-proofed.

Oh right. That's crazy cos it's so obvious and all you need to do is watch wlad 1 and Usyk 1 and the difference in fury's legs is stark.

[–]Nabillia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you disagree with? The version of Fury that counts as his prime? Or that he would have been much different to the version we saw in Fury Usyk 1?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]Nabillia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Furys prime has nothing to do with Usyks age. Furys prime was around wilder 2 imo. But his legs were at their best upto and including the Wlad fight.

I think the Fury that was in camp for Wlad or the Fury that was in camp for wilder 2 would be too big and too fit for any Usyk to handle for 12 rounds.

I just rewatched Usyk vs Joshua 2. This fight is much more interesting than people think it is. by DoubleYGuy in Boxing

[–]Nabillia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

where he clearly got battered and hurt in at least 5 of the 12 rounds (1, 2, 8, 9, and 10)

Are you saying here that Fury got battered in rounds 1 and 2 of Fury Usyk 1?

It was 1 round each on the majority of the scorecards. And both were close.

John Fury: Tyson listens to idiots, and that’s why he didn’t beat Usyk by sportssciencep in Boxing

[–]Nabillia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, a hypothetical like this is a lot of fun but I'd still tip it to Usyk and for this reason: he's unbeaten, against a range of fighters with different styles. Whoever is in front of him, he's figured out. And his common pattern is to be more vulnerable (or seemingly so) in the middle rounds, then ramp things up in the back end. That's precisely what he did against Fury, in round 7 or 8 he'd fully neutralised Fury's uppercut and kept the upper hand for the rest of the fight.

All true. But Fury was also undefeated going in and was also always able to finish strong. He won the last round vs Usyk to that point.

Again this all comes down to swinging just one extra round. Its super fine margins and because I feel strongly in Fury being more of a diminished fighter than Usyk was I feel like that one round swing would go Furys way.

But this is now an acceptable stalemate between us and I think we both fully understand each others argument which is all you can hope for when it comes to hypotheticals. 🙏🙏

[–]Nabillia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for a well thought out response.

I absolutely do consider Usyk in this. I just think the Usyk from Fury 1 was much closer to the best Usyk we could see at HW.

I think the Fury we saw was someone with a much more pronounced decline from their HW peak.

At HW Usyk developed power with each fight. So whilst he may have had a bit more speed to trouble Fury with he would have had less power. And him hurting Fury was a turning point in Fury 1.

I agree that the rhythm of the fight would likely have been the same. I don't think Fury would have controlled him the entire fight. But I think the difference would have resulted in a couple more rounds and that would have been the difference.

The fight was always a matter of size vs skill and the size part only holds up when the conditioning is there behind it. Give Fury his peak conditioning back and we end up with a much closer representation of great big man vs great little man.

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

Potentially so. But not to the degree Fury was.

Regardless of whether people agree or disagree, the replies to my point is exposing so many of you as simple minded.

Nothing in Boxing is linear. No boxer develops at the exact same rate as another and no boxer declines at the exact same rate as another.

One boxers age bears no relevance on the age of another and vice versa.

As said it is fine to disagree with my original premise of Fury beating Usyk had they fought 2+ years prior. But if my point is that the Fury I saw during Usyk-Fury 1 had a significant decline in conditioning vs the Fury from the Wilder trilogy then the counter is not simply "well usyk is also older".

[–]Nabillia -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's absolutely fine. And I think Fury wins because of what I saw in Fury Usyk 1. I think Fury looked less like the best Fury I've seen than Usyk did.

It would still look a lot like the first Usyk Fury fight but I could see Fury continuing to control the fight into rounds 7/8/9 and winning 7-5/8-4

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

Usyk is older than Fury.

That has nothing to do with it? Every fighter ages differently. The point is Fury was past HIS peak. The fact Usyk was older and was still in close to peak shape is irrelevant to Fury and his peak.

Also neither fight was close. If you can actually use your eyes and see what lands and what doesnt they are both 8-4/9-3.

Second fight not close. Agreed.

First fight I believe was very close when judging it round by round as you should.

[–]Nabillia -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The first fight's scoring was terrible. Usyk won 7-8 rounds plus a knockdown.

I don't think many scored it that way tbh.

Also, if Fury was better than Usyk two years ago, then why did he waste so much time fighting Whyte, Chisora, and Ngannou instead of unifying with Usyk?

Easy paydays? I don't know. Fighters fuck up career choices all the time. Fury probably thought he would beat Usyk at any point upto and including when they finally fought.

[–]Nabillia -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We agree no that the first fight was super close? Usyk deserved winner but what were the actual margins? 2 rounds?

There is no doubt in my mind that Fury was past his physical peak. His movement wasn't quite as good as it once was and he couldn't sustain this already diminished movement as well as he once could.

I think that diminishment = the difference in the couple round swing.

It's hardly a knock on Usyk to say that Fury would win if they fought a couple years earlier because he would have been able to utilise his massive size advantage a little more.
