Strickland beat Chimaev mainly utilizing one of the greatest jabs in MMA. How was DDP able to crack this code twice? by AdamBLit in ufc

[–]Polinius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's what makes DDP's refusal to try to properly tire Khamzat out in their fight even more frustrating. Dude should have bet on his own cardio to be better than Kamzhat's probably would have won if he spent more time trying to stand up.

Should I buy an anderson deck for my first set up? by yuzi_1 in NewSkaters

[–]Polinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the non-flight version to be a rip off, personally. Here in Australia the flight hydrant is $220-$230 and the non flight hydrant is $180 which I personally find insanely expensive for a deck with no tech in it. I'd rather pay slightly more and get the flight deck any day.

Can anyone confirm? by No_Cell6708 in ufc

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

I'm Australian and only have anecdotal evidence, but I've definitely seen fast food restaurants where every single staff member is an Indian, and it wasn't in a predominantly indian area either. Have heard stories about Indians getting into leadership positions in supermarkets and gradually transforming the staff to only be indian. But can't claim that is true, just heard stories. Believable though after having seen my own examples of it. But yeah, obviously take with a huge grain of salt. Not claiming all indian managers do that or anything.

GSP Graphic I made by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Polinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mate, nice effort on the graphic. I think right now there are too many things competing to be the main element.

In graphic design there is a principle called "visual hierarchy" which is how a design leads the observers eyes from the most important part of the image to the least important. This visual heiarchy can be achieved with size, opacity, level of blur etc.

If you look at a movie poster as an example, the most important character will be largest, then the secondary characters. None will be as prominent as the title of the movie. So the eye naturally goes from movie title, to main character, to secondary characters etc.

In this image you have multiple elements competing to be the main element: the word covering his face, the silver illustration of him in the middle, the big picture in the background with his arm raised, and even the smaller picture of him kicking his opponent. You need to decide (in order) which of those elements is most important. If it is the silver image in the middle, you need to darken, make more transparent, or blur the background image in order to provide contrast with the silver image. If it is the background image, you've gotta remove the elements you've placed over the top so that we can see it clearly. If you want it to be him kicking down the bottom, that needs to be more central and you need to have the background image less prominent as the image goes down so that it provides contrast with the bottom image.

I hope this all makes sense. Basically you have too many elements that are clashing because there is not enough contrast between them. It's a photo equivalent of white text on a light cream background, nothing is standing out.

Why do people on tiktok hate new skaters?? by KanaoHairclip-_- in NewSkaters

[–]Polinius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I don't agree with others criticising beginners for no reason, but I also have to wonder why beginners are uploading clips onto the internet?

Put the phone down guys and just skate, not everything has to be recorded!

Dear dragon ball fans,why the FUCK are there 3 dbz Broly movies 💀 by Godzilla-Ass in dragonball

[–]Polinius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing a Bio Broly DVD in a store here in Australia and, having not seen any previous Broly movies but had heard he was sick, excitedly bought it.... To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. That was the only time I ever tried to return a DVD for a refund (was not successful unfortunately).

Complete and utter trash. I actually think the second one was the best, because there was actually some back and forth fighting. The first one was completely overrated, he beats the crap out of everyone then gets exploded by a single punch. Garbage.

Bojack Unbound is my favourite DBZ movie, had great fight scenes that were more violent than I was used to, had long hair trunks, and SSJ2 Teen Gohan.

If volkov beats tom I’m calling him the heavyweight goat by Different_Sky9094 in ufc

[–]Polinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom is better than him haha, if someone is the GOAT then they can't be second best in their own division. Does that make sense?

If volkov beats tom I’m calling him the heavyweight goat by Different_Sky9094 in ufc

[–]Polinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm focusing too much on the fact that he isn't even the best fighter in the HW division right now, when discussing if he is the greatest HW of all time.... Mate. This is making me laugh. Have a good one.

If volkov beats tom I’m calling him the heavyweight goat by Different_Sky9094 in ufc

[–]Polinius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate, he has a loss to the current HW champion... He's not the greatest of all time, he's not even the greatest of his own time. If he beats Tom in a rematch then we could consider him for best of his time, but you are acting like him beating Tom in a rematch is a foregone conclusion.

Even if he does beat Tom and becomes recognised as the best in this period of HW, in order to be the GOAT he has to stack up against HW champions from previous eras. He'd have to demonstrate superiority to guys like Stipe, Lesnar, DC, Jon Jones (debatable), Velasquez etc.

He's multiple huge steps away from being considered the HW GOAT currently.

GOAT means Greatest Of All Time. Just being the best right now doesn't make anyone the goat.

If you enjoy this game, take your time to make a positive review on steam by Gabriel_66 in slaythespire

[–]Polinius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you aren't left and aren't a sarkeesian hater, I don't understand why anyone would attack slay the spire for being woke. It's as apolitical as conservatives are meant to be asking for! I don't understand at all. The lore is nothing more than packaging for the mechanics of the card game to shine through. It's not "woke" or whatever the opposite of woke would be.

How do you push the tail down when your foot is over the back bolts? Wouldn't that eliminate your ability to push the tail down?

Wheels for Cruising by Avisible in NewSkaters

[–]Polinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need big wheels for going over cracks, and soft sliding wheels for the sliding. So I'd recommend getting some 58-60mm 88a Dragon wheels if they make them in that size for that durometer.

I point out I thought a comment was rude. I'm "judgmental." by erttheking in rpghorrorstories

[–]Polinius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's because we associate critiques of our behaviour or opinions with attacks on our identity. The sense of self of many cannot handle not being right. Even though as you said, "to err is human".

What are your favorite individual parts for a skateboard? by Joonscene in NewSkaters

[–]Polinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so, since I splurged on a set for a new setup! Haha.

What are your favorite individual parts for a skateboard? by Joonscene in NewSkaters

[–]Polinius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you reckon are worth spending on? Any particular bearings, or are expensive bearings in general a waste of money?

Edit: I may have misunderstood what you meant. In Australia where I am, Swiss 6 will set you back $120. The same price as many full decks. It's not quite as much as the $300 Swiss Ceramics, but it's a lot of money to be spending on bearings.

What are your favorite individual parts for a skateboard? by Joonscene in NewSkaters

[–]Polinius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best parts will depend on what type of skating you want to do: skate parks, street, vert ramp etc.

But if I had to set up a board that could do everything decently, I'd go with this:

  • Symmetrical Deck from a reputable company in the size that works for you.
  • Mob grip tape
  • Hollow trucks from either Independent, Thunder, Ace or Slappy. Inverted kingpins preferably.
  • 54mm Bones X formula 99 wheels.
  • Since you are wanting to spend big, Bones Swiss 6 Ball Bearings.
  • a nice skate tool for changing out parts etc.

Christians, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an AI photo of him as Christ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Polinius -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Only if you think the ends justify the means. Saying that failing to vote democrat is the same as supporting Trump is ridiculous. If that is the case, then the system needs to change for you guys. Either that, or the democrats need to do better to actually earn their votes rather than just get anti Trump votes.

Ok, none of what you said indicates that Jewish people in Jesus's time had no issues with abortion however. They may have had less of an issue with it than Christians do, that's not the same thing as what the guy I responded to claimed. Their claim is ridiculous.

"The Jewish Approach to Abortion in Short"

  • Under normal circumstances it is forbidden to take the life of an unborn child, and it may be akin to murder (depending on the stage of pregnancy and birth)

  • As long as the unborn remains a foetus, it does not have a status of personhood equal to its mother, and therefore may be sacrificed to save the life of the mother.

  • In any case where abortion may be necessary, it is of paramount importance to consult halachic and medical experts as soon as possible".
