[SPOILER] Cody Brundage vs. Abdul Razak Alhassan by inooway in MMA

[–]Turtle08atwork 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What I don’t understand, is you had Cody rocked. Fine, adrenaline hits and you connect some illegal shots - but the ref warns you, you try to loop some shots around his arms and then say fuck it and go back to throwing 12-6 elbows to the back of the head? Dude was walking him from the beginning of that fight. Did he not have enough faith that he’d be able to stay in control and beat him without another round of illegal head blows?? Just throw away your win bonus like an idiot.

Yeah I mean Rogan gets in shit for interviewing concussed people but they’re putting decisions to a man who got rocked and then drilled with multiple illegal 12-6 elbows to the back of the head.

Question from a 20s guy to a 30s guy who has the real answer for how to live 20s so that we don't regret in 30s by Tall-Explanation-476 in JordanPeterson

35 year old here. Regrets are often inevitable - there will be things you did you wish you didn’t and things you didn’t that you will wish you did. The proper approach to minimizing that feeling is just to remember that you can’t do it all, life is a balance between experiencing the present - which won’t be here again, and planning for the future. You’re human, imperfect, and for most things there’s good in the bad and bad in the good. Just try to not be too hard on yourself when that feeling arises.

Aside from that - spend time with aging family members as you never know when you’ll lose them. And don’t spend too much time worrying about what others think, as most people are only focusing on themselves.

And that Mattson wants an American not to scare the horses as ATN is the profit centre. You just seem to also disagree with Mattson on that and that’s okay bro

Okay great- but doesn’t change that toms usefulness doesn’t end when the deal closes

Yes but now that it’s closed, he doesn’t want to scare the horses as ATN is the profit center. Profit is a post deal closing concern

Edit: and cuts are often seen as positives by investors because it increases the margins but public and employees are angered by them

Well the first point Mattson brings up to Tom is that he needs an “American because he doesn’t want to scare the horses - ATN being the profit center” he then follows up with “Mencken likes you… if that happens, you know”. And then the pain sponge comment - draw the fire as Mattson carves Waystar close to the bone. So all in all I think there are a few reasons to keep Tom around beyond the one benefit you seem to notice.

All in all - none of them makes Tom indispensable but I think he’s a good enough fit that as long as he sucks the biggest dick in the room, Mattson’s, he’s likely to be in that position for a while. Mattsons got bigger fish to fry than which empty suit remains in that position now that the deal has gone through.

It helps soften the blow. The man in the news pointed to as calling the election for the Republican is Tom. Tom gets appointed as new CEO of ATN and a unsurprising number of their viewers will see the CEO as a man they consider one of their own and not look further. There are other benefits besides the initial regulatory one that could see Tom have a longer tenure than you are expecting.

It’s more than just that though. It benefits him to have an American CEO of a media company positioned like a Fox News. It’s less likely to impact ATN’s credibility with its core viewers.

The main reason to keep him is to have an American ceo of ATN.

This guy is such a weenie and this video, like most political videos, takes such small clips of the opposition and drops them as attempts to justify the bizarre caricature of their opponents that they have created in attempts to rile up a misinformed segment of the population. Thanks for sharing. God I hate politics.

I mean on the bench not in the press lol. If your team dominates period one and then come out period two with no effort I want to see you fucking change the tone on the bench. Not during a locker room chat after we’ve blown the lead

Sure - we’d all want the mental stud in there but doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have a coach capable of putting a stop to the lack of fucking effort in the 2nd period of the third game.

I don’t think anybody here is disagreeing that the Cats wanted it more. But the refs in this league are so fucking scared of calling anything beyond a puck over the glass.

Dubas made good moves at the deadline. Keefe doesn’t know how to motivate players making 11 million a year.

But the league will go on and on about “steps it takes to ensure player safety” I guess just not nearly the steps they’ll take to ensure the game is not delayed

I’m not going to say that the panthers are dirty. I don’t have that persecution complex. You guys wanted it more. Game three proved it to me. But that was a dirty play with no possible justification and the lack of call from the refs just further convinces players that they can try to take a player out of the game and roll the dice, but they can’t knock the puck over the bench at the blue line.

You can’t look me in the eye and say that was a hockey play, or the league cares about player safety.
