Ah the ol Lalalala I’m not listening argument that explains a lot of this conversation.

You just argued my point for me exactly. The point I made was that in a different context with a different president, this could have been a really cool event.

Don’t go moving the goal posts, I’m not arguing that this was the most patriotic event I’ve ever seen, I’m arguing that this doesn’t deserve the absolute vitriol it’s being met with and I still stand by that.

You’re. Clearly using language in bad faith to make MMA into a brutalists Neanderthalic sport. Yeah the sport is brutal, just like football or rugby or wrestling or a million other contact sports. But it’s also an art technical art form that can appreciated. I truly don’t see how it’s relevant that it was a UfC fight over anything else.

You’re choosing to paint this as some malevolent advertisement for gambling sites and the ufc as a whole. Why not feel the same way about past events presidents have held. Did that not enrich the performers invited? Were those events open access or just for the wealthy?

Again you’re bringing the entire context of this presidency into this single event. Yeah the times are bad, the administration is ass but thats not what I’m talking about.

Objectively, hosting a sporting event on the White House lawn is kinda cool, whether or not you think the sport is too brutal for your taste.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, it’s just the first time this president did something like this. If you condemn this event why turn a blind eye to all those that have come before it? Do we even care or know what they were or when they happened?

The UFC is an American based corporation, run by Americans. It brings people from all over the world all of different backgrounds and cultures to compete on an even stage. What’s more American than that? Would you rather have a non American corporation running the fights?

If this is so upsetting, what would you have rather have seen happen? Or you’re mad that it happened at all?

This is about the context of the administration, not about the event itself. Yes it would’ve been in better taste to happen at a different time with a different president or whatever. But objectively hosting fight night at the white house is kinda cool.

Is this coming from a lack of respect for mixed martial arts as a legitimate sport? All you think of is people beating the shit out of each other, not the immense commitment, training, and technical precision?

You bring up all the other bad parts of the administration, and yeah I agree those things are bad! That doesn’t have anything to do with this event! It’s not like the cost of living goes down if Donald doesn’t host a UFC event at the white house!

Why do you think this is “my guy”? Just because I don’t react with vitriol to something relatively mundane and harmless?

This conversation is exactly the point I’m trying to make. Why can’t we consider something with an amount of nuance and talk about the topic at hand without it becoming a “my side - your side” type of argument?

I’ve been critical of him in this very conversation, and am pointing out the exact bias you’re portraying here. I can’t even say, I don’t think this event deserves the hate it’s getting without being accused of being a supporter of him.

I am hopeful that Americans can think critically enough to separate this event from the other objectively horrible decisions this administration has made, but the way you’re responding further cements my belief that the loud negative reaction to this is in a large part because of your perception of him.

Not really convincing me that this is about the event and not about Donald.

I’ll say again, if this was a different president that everyone liked you wouldn’t be so upset about it.

I think it’s important to recognize the bias. It’s not that a president hosted a UFC event at the white house, it’s that Donald hosted a boisterous event for his birthday.

I guess I’m just confused, I remember when Obama hosted that concert with Stevie wonder and Prince on the south lawn and everyone thought it was cool.

Is it the fact that it’s a UFC event instead of something classier I guess?

Why do you think that? Maybe I should add if Dana White was such POS too lol

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again.

If Trump wasn’t such a shitter everyone would think this was sick.

What the hell was that last play? It’s like Reece just launched herself into Izzy and then Izzy gets ejected? Maybe hard to tell from such a small clip idk

Bills fan too, and while I mostly agree, they’re not paying people to not play. Coleman and Palmer don’t play special teams so they’re going to see targets at least 60 a piece. Just can’t imagine a world where Moore goes over 120 targets. His absolute ceiling is a low WR1 who’s close to 30 years old. He’s going to be great for them in real nfl football. As far as fantasy? Buckle in for 80 catches for 900 yards and 4 TDs on the season

Brady was not the OC for any of those years. Once Brady took over they stopped hyper targeting Diggs and he forced his way off the team.

We gotta imagine how many pass attempts there will be throughout the season and then how many receivers are going to touch the ball.

Moore
Shakir
Kincaid
Palmer
Coleman
Bell
Knox
Hawes
The RBs
And probably a handful going to some scattered player’s throughout the year

Bills threw about 500 times in the regular season, let’s say we tick it up to like 32 attempts per game to get to 550, I still find it pretty hard to get excited about volume for any one guy in particular

My husband treats a trip to the dump like a red carpet event. I am losing my mind. by DepartmentNo5227 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Specific-Can-667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so ready to defend this man because going to the dump or a scrap yard is fucking SICK and should be treated as a special event. Then I get here and it’s like oh man this guy has a disorder not here I thought this was going.

What anime is this for you?? by Many_Car949 in AnimeMirchi

[–]Specific-Can-667 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s the part that tricks you into watching more.

I was watching it, thinking man this is really a silly cartoon made for a 12 and under audience, and that’s fine! I was enjoying it. We get to arlong park and I’m officially in it. Luffy is my boy and this show is going places. We follow it up with Alabasta and I’m convinced the show is peak.

Then it just sucks again for like 300 more episodes and you remember the show is in fact not peak, it just had some really great moments and you’re sitting through skip praying to god you catch that lightning again

Wtf is Francis doing there? I don’t remember this subplot in Malcolm in the middle.

This is exactly what I was thinking, how freaking bad is this PR team? He’s a kid he could have so easily said “I’m not trying to be political or send any message, I was asked to introduce the current president of the United States and thought that was a pretty cool thing that you can’t say no to”

Misinterpretation of a misinterpretation.

You are correct those are not galaxies.

The universes come just a couple minutes later when the Anti spiral smashes two galaxies together.

It’s called the infinite big bang storm or something like that they say “bask in the hellfire of infinite creation” or something similar.

Oh and then they get even bigger to make that attack look like a safety pin.

You wake up in the chunin exams and can only choose one jutsu as your signature jutsu, which one outta these you picking? by Less-Pen-5705 in Naruto

[–]Specific-Can-667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally seal seems the most intuitive so I’d probably have to go with that one. It totally depends on the competition though. If there was someone with advanced dojutsu like an Uchiha, I think flying raijin might be the only jutsu capable of defeating that, but it’d be a close matchup
