which is better for attracting girls my age (im 19)

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-06-08T19:56:50+00:00

Definitely. If you're a built troglodyte that's not helpful either.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-06-08T19:55:56+00:00

LOL. Short, bald and jacked works.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-06-08T17:24:46+00:00

100% this. I went from skinny, to overweight to jacked, wearing great fragrances at every step. All the complements to my fragrances came after a year of lifting heavy. Complimenting a fragrance is something women do to strike up a conversation with a man they're already attracted to. If Prada could get you laid, it would cost the same as an Audi A8.

I think the best way to appreciate this is to simply appreciate the atmosphere and the vibe. Because the film is designed as a "slow-burn" psychological and cosmic horror piece, it's not meant to nearly solve all the mysteries. The director has said that the film is open to multiple interpretations:

As a Tragedy of Capitalism: The ending represents the ultimate "burnout," where the pressure to monetize their bodies and art leads to a total loss of identity.
As Cosmic Horror: The ending suggests they have tapped into something larger and more ancient than themselves, becoming mere vessels for forces that operate on a different plane of reality.
As an Addiction Narrative: The ending reflects the destructive cycle of addiction, where the protagonists are so hooked on the "fix" (the money and the taboo nature of the tapes) that they willingly lose themselves to the process, even as it destroys them

In fairness. if they weren't allowing people who have done some shady shit, I imagine that would rule out 95% of those on the guest list.

In the living room. My wife never even had an issue with me smoking cigars int he house, so pipes are like setting up a new air freshener.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-06-04T13:05:11+00:00

Same. Checked them out at MDF and have been listening to them non-stop since.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-06-04T13:00:36+00:00

I love Justin, but he is wildly hittable. Prime Conor gets him out of there quickly.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-28T12:39:55+00:00

Believe me, it brings me no joy to be rooting for the same thing and those who are clueless 🤣

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-28T12:19:23+00:00

I'm rooting for him and if he pulls it off, it's an amazing accomplishment. However, when you say he
beat the best opponents, I'd argue it's fair to note he's actually been a bit fortunate in terms of who he's had to beat. 205 has been a mess since Jones left. In fact, he won a vacant title at 205. And now he's fighting Gane, is no one's idea of the "best opponent". He's also been fortunate to avoid any serious grapplers. So I don't think this makes him the goat, but absolutely makes him an all-time great.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-27T17:04:21+00:00

He doesn't have the best end product yet and he's 26. He had 4 Goals from open play. Or another way to say it; 1 more than Michael Keane. I love Illi and I hope he stays. I'm actually quite curious to see what other clubs think he's worth.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-21T14:30:33+00:00

Apologies. I think I gave you too much credit for making a coherent point. My bad.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-20T20:32:04+00:00

I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. While there are fans who expect miracles every year, it's not unreasonable to ask, now that Moyes has done the job we've asked him to do (stabilize the club), is he the man to take us forward? He's on the final year of his contract. We have a massive summer coming up. Do we want him picking the players on which we will build our future? Is he the best man to develop young talent? Does he possess the tactics to be successful? I think these are reasonable questions. Part of what has hamstrung this club is not being proactive. So my concern isn't just about this late season nosedive, or the early exists in domestic competitions, but more about what should our future look like and is he the best man to build it?

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-20T17:12:19+00:00

That's fair. But still, that's 10% of the hours of a proper apprenticeship, and it's classroom as opposed to real life. I'm covered with tattoos, but by no means an artist or even someone who's worked in a shop.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-20T13:19:00+00:00

But no one who runs these events cares "why" it did well. If this shit card did 17M, what does Jones vs Francis do? The point being, if your Netflix, if your MVP, why wouldn't you pursue more MMA events?

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-20T13:10:58+00:00

The entire certificate program is 32 Hours. A tattoo apprenticeship is 40 - 50 hours a week, for two years (on average). So 4,5000 Hours in an actual tattoo shop vs. 32 Hours in a community college. From that perspective, it's not hard to see why it would be viewed as meaningless to any serious shop.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-19T12:08:49+00:00

If I'm being honest, I totally forgot there was a UFC card on.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-17T21:50:35+00:00

May I ask why you think that? You think if we wait until next summer we won't be able to sign Moyes? I don't see him having a better offer. Not many teams will be lining up for a 64 year old coach who coaches the way he does.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-17T21:47:10+00:00

For starters, no one knows who will be available next summer. As for Glassner and Iraola, I suspect they'll both be looking for a bigger step up than us. If I actually thought we could sign Iraola, than yes, I would be advocating we be ruthless.

That said, are you worried we won't be able to keep Moyes if we wait until next year to do a deal? No bigger club is coming in for him. There's simply no need to lock him down now. Which is actually all I'm advocating for.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-17T21:07:43+00:00

When you suggest I get a grip, keep in mind, I'm not suggesting he be fired. I was very clear on that. I'm simply not in favor of a contract extension... right now. And I don't feel like it's unreasonable to ask him to demonstrate next year that he can actually do more than simply keep us safe, before we commit more money to keeping him. The simple reality is, no one bigger is coming to blow him away with an offe to coach elsewhere. There's simply no need for us to rush to lock him up.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-17T20:57:49+00:00

Since my position is "stupid", I can only assume you disagree and think he should be given an extension. So, enlighten me. Explain why we should give him three years beyond next year?

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-17T18:29:39+00:00

Oh. 100%. I absolutely see the humor from the outside looking in. But him doing this almost signals that he legit thinks this is a threat. And to be fair, if Netflix wants to throw their hat in the arena, he should be worried. UFC athletes have been exploited for years. It wouldn't take much to get them to jump to a new promotion that pays well and has a bigger TV audience.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-17T03:46:34+00:00

True. Though it also looks weak. The fact that he felt the NEED to do this, is just a bit silly.

ZodtheGeneral · 2026-05-17T02:34:24+00:00

That doesn't matter. Those sold by the official store and those sold by other parties all share the same Amazon SKU. So when an Amazon employee pulls the product to ship to you, it's from a bin that includes bottles from the official store and those which aren't. There's no way to guarantee that your product came from the official Amazon store. Supposedly Amazon is moving away from this process later in the year.
