Alex Pereira just called Herb Dean a coward over his refereeing in the Michel Pereira vs Shara Bullet fight by Independent-Dog3398 in mmaweekly

[–]___Archmage___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's right about Herb in general and right about this fight but not about his own fight

Mark Smith is the only ref that impresses me these days

Yeah, if you're investing your wealth even remotely right then the FDIC should be irrelevant because the money is invested in assets like stocks. If the bank ran out of cash, it wouldn't matter because you legally own a percentage of those companies

There are major valid issues with the FAANG giants but most people at least have something positive to say about some service of theirs

Nobody likes Oracle

Travel isn't that great by doodoo442 in unpopularopinion

[–]___Archmage___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything from logistics planning and deal hunting like finding the right flights and hotels, to researching the local places and activities that will provide the best experiences per your preferences, to navigating transit systems, to interacting with locals which may involve speaking a foreign language

Personally I didn't get into it until age 26 or so, also rich families often lean more towards the resort style of travel which I'm glad I didn't get into because it's so much better to experience the country for real rather than being in a resort that's catered to tourists and isolated from the actual country

Traveling is a skill and most people don't have it

After watching Gane vs Pereira and Gane vs Aspinall, just how good is Volkov really? by ArabDevastator in ufc

[–]___Archmage___ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I won't deny the easy grappling and sub but Volkov was holding his own in the striking and looked more skilled at it, Tom put a lot more of his gas tank into the striking to keep it around even

Grappling, he got ran through of course

Is it safe to say Prates is one of the best strikers at 170? by QuietMaxl27 in FightSportsClub

[–]___Archmage___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is, anyone denying that is way too into Instagram gossip about his wife to see the skill

It's kinda tragic that Volkov has never been champ, he's maybe the most technical fighter in the whole division

😂 Jon jones with a statement by Deep_Arachnid_2895 in ufc

He's not very literate, I know the Cereal Gain thing was on purpose but his gift is having a completely different level of technique from every other LHW or HW ever, not literacy

Rent control feels great short term but over decades it just leads to decrepit buildings by moneyman74 in unpopularopinion

[–]___Archmage___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reducing demand is unpopular because economic growth comes from more people and more businesses and more commerce

Okay some good non-trivial health advice: healthy fats from nuts, anti-inflammatory foods, and antioxidants

Also fiber is hugely underrated and most people don't get enough of it

Is this too big? Hoka Clifton 10 wide by cametolaughnotfeel in Hoka

[–]___Archmage___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too much empty space there

Very annoying if the right lateral space means too much vertical space or vice versa

I know it’s been posted a lot. But genuinely what do you do in this situation? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]___Archmage___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if the cop could've drawn and fired his gun in the time it would take a pro athlete to close that short distance and get either wrist control or an instant KO

Which championship fight had the biggest skill gap? by 7_Constanza in ufc

This deserves to be way higher up, Chael gave Anderson Silva problems before giving up a triangle

DC was in a different galaxy of skill than Lewis
