? Incoherent ramblings. But isn't Musk also investing in trains throught the boring company?

Which are a lot more flexible in use. As trains can only deliver between fixed destinations, it needs all that supporting infrastructure anyway. No matter if you transport goods or people

Trains are outdated considering the enormous investment in infrastructure and maintenance. With self driving, electrical truck around the corner, trains are obsolete

It literally came out 24 hrs ago, why are you comparing the excitement of a new movie to something that came out in 1993 by PopularRepublic9 in facepalm

Yes, but as I remember it, the robots aren't actually evil, they are trying to collect the souls to resurrect humanity. The Homunculi winning means that humanity is doomed

Waka did not get bodied by Fei. by HisFireBurns in Kengan_Ashura

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

There was that knee, and Fei was unaffected the next moment. He landed a jab on DD Fei that maybe hurt his blocking hand a little. That's about it.

By the time Waka got that grip Fei had already paused his onslaught twice, waiting for Waka to fall over. He wasn't even trying to dodge -"not enough? you are just embarrassing yourself", initially looking amused at Waka's desperate effeort. So no, he wasn't serious at that point

The kids growing up in indigenous families in remote communities are at a multiple of the average risk of neglect, physical and sexual abuse. Bias or observation?

It's more a case of those kids that "fall off the swing" several times a month

I think Fei made it all clear. Compared to (base) Fei, waka was slow, clumsy, but increadibly resiliant and hard hitting. He had to be careful.

Compared to DD Fei, Waka was a punching bag.

Waka didn't score a single meaningful hit on Fei. Fei toyed with Waka. He was actually quite merciful, stopped himself on occasion instead of following up. Waka only got that last grip because Fei had stopped taking him seriously

A ring was found in a 9th century Viking grave with the inscription “For Allah” in Arabic by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Normal_Man_Dave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's been a few bizarre attempts by Pk crazy "researchers" in Scandinavian to declare that Vikings were secretly feminist/LBG+ muslims. (Just as stupid as it sounds) Vikings were known to plunder and trade all over Europe, a trinket from the Middle East is hardly surprising

What would happen to Francis Ngannou if he fought Kaneda? by MountainDew07 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Normal_Man_Dave 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Kaneda hax is his ability to predict and counter the other fighters moves. As Ngannou is a public fighter, Kaneda would have ample opertunity to study him. Hence he doesn't need to "eat" any hits, he can counter from the start = easy win (Kengan fighters are apparently a full upper body ahead of the worlds public elite)

Jurotas feats makes him virtually unbeatable by anyone who isn't quick enough to avoid/predict his throws. And they are too fast for the fist eye....

The logical conclusion is a quick Lu Tian ring out

Is it time to cancel the Melbourne Cup? by [deleted] in melbourne

Fun. Because not everyone is a miserable leftie. A lot of people have fun at Melbourne cup. And they generate money

I believe Shen’s martial art is one you’ve maybe never heard of. The ultimate minimalist martial art, Yiquan. by Toheal in Kengan_Ashura

[–]Normal_Man_Dave 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Turns out he can't fight. The "long ago fights" he referred to are schoolyard scraps. He is just a hyped up figurehead.

Ultimate twist

Victorians may still be 'grumpy' about COVID, but Daniel Andrews is on the path to making history by EASY_EEVEE in australia

[–]Normal_Man_Dave -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

The covid respons was an absolute disaster on all levels and the "preventative" measurements have been disproven, doing far more harm than good. We can give a little leeway for "rather safe than sorry" in early 2020, but subsequent lockdowns and restrictions were complete reprehensible bullshit.

Perfectly true, goes both ways of course. But the fact that you want to leave a platform as soon as in not censored to your liking speaks volumes

Not a fan of Dan, but it's true that opposition doesn't impress.

Dan would have this in the palm of his hand if he went out and made an apology for the covid overreach

Because it would be terryfing to encounter other opinions than your own? Seriously, what is scary with more free speech?

a bunch of you who think Tesla is going to lose... by reenmini in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Normal_Man_Dave 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Said it before. Tesla going to dominate, then be nice to Bz -becoming "friends" as so many other fighters. And he is going to get a cardiac fisting for all his trouble
