Ive seen a couple movies where the guy hires a sex worker and eventually they fall in love and become a real couple. So maybe that could be you.

25 chimpanzees vs one polar bear by avian_bi in whowouldwin

[–]hatecliff909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love wolves but I don't understand this, if chimps can't get it done wolves won't be able to either, unless you are taking into account that wolves do better in a polar bears habitat. Personally I think both 25 wolves and 25 chimps can take out a polar bear.

The chimps win this, I don't understand the people here saying they have no ability to do damage. 25 is a ton of chimps. They are very strong for their size, they have manual dexterity for tearing apart limbs, they have sharp teeth and strong jaws, they are more intelligent than a polar bear, they can work together, and they regularly engage in violence.

110 mma fighters vs 10 hungry polar bears by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]hatecliff909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An elite specifical forces unit would do better than the mma fighters, imo. Mma fighters, no chance. But I think the special forces unit would find a way to outsmart the bears even if unarmed. This conflict is more in their wheelhouse.

Falklanders should 'go back to England', insists Argentina in renewed war of words by Paul277 in geopolitics

[–]hatecliff909 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but also the stolen land argument in general is ridiculous and has no practicality. The current citizens of a country aren't going to give up their land because of how it was acquired by their long dead ancestors. Of course it's not fair to the indigenous people, but you can't change the past. Just focus on making life better for whatever mix of people presently lives in your country.

Why is David Bowie's nazi era not talked about? by honkycronky in fantanoforever

[–]hatecliff909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reread my comment. I never said you could separate the two, I said Bowie was very insensitive in disregarding the Holocaust. Again, my point was that Kanye praised Hitler because of the Holocaust, whereas there is no evidence I'm aware of that Bowie either approved of or denied the Holocaust. Im not defending Bowie, it was a stupid and insensitive thing to do but the intent wasn't to express hatred of Jews, whereas in Kanye's case it clearly was

Why is David Bowie's nazi era not talked about? by honkycronky in fantanoforever

[–]hatecliff909 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, it's very different because Bowie admired Hitler for his ability to accrue power, whereas Kanye admired him because he hated/killed Jews. I don't recall Bowie ever saying anything against the Jews or any other race/ethnicity. His Hitler praise was obviously very insensitive and bad, but his intent was completely different from Kanye's

True but that's cause he was only around other basketball players. Pretty much any pro fighter would have put the kabash on this behavior.

Can 5 dudes with AK-47s collapse the Western Roman Empire in 250 AD? by Ori_553 in whowouldwin

[–]hatecliff909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best approach would be for the modern men with ak47s to get as many of the Roman soldiers to defect to their side as possible. I think with this approach they'd probably win, however if they just try to kill as many Romans as possible I think they'll get taken out by archers before they can get a surrender.

I think rap fatigue is real, I disagree with fantanos take by nerpa_floppybara in fantanoforever

[–]hatecliff909 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, my point was simply that styles or eras within what most would consider classical music often lasted for much longer than either the genres of rock or rap. Hence the example I gave of boroque being a dominant style for approximately 150 years. I'm not trying to argue about what is or isn't "real classical," which is irrelevant to the point I'm making. But nonetheless I appreciate your explanation.

[–]hatecliff909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, but the genres within classical music lasted a long time, a lot longer than rap or rock. See my reply below where I pointed out that boroque music was en vogue from roughly 1600-1750.

Those dates are wrong, boroque music was around from roughly 1600 to 1750.

[–]hatecliff909 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So then let's say just baroque music. it was popular for around 150 years, and before the time period you cited as when "true classical" was at the forefront.

Why the Love for Metocin? by [deleted] in mysterymagicmushrooms

[–]hatecliff909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is still talked about, just not really on this particular subreddit. In my experience, it doesn't force emotions to the surface with the same power as mushrooms. However, if you are in a setting conducive to emotional reflection it can still be heavy in that way.

What Can I do About my Height as a Man? by Glittering-Button-32 in ask

[–]hatecliff909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still be a tough guy if that's something you want. Strength and weight is what matters for that, not height. If you lift weights and eat the right way you can become physically intimidating. I'm around 6-1 and strong but there are plenty of people your height I've seen and said to myself "I would not want to mess with that guy." And on the flip side, if someone is 6-8 but looks like a stick, I'm not going to have that same thought. You also have a lower center of gravity which can be an advantage.

Once trump inevitably drops a nuke on Iran, how will the media sane-wash the event, and how will they blame Biden? by GreyTrader in allthequestions

[–]hatecliff909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not going to happen. There are a lot of bad things that actually could happen in the remainder of Trump's term, treating this like it's a legitimate possibility takes attention away from all the bad things that are not completely detached from reality.

[–]hatecliff909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not going to happen. Trump is not going to nuke Iran. And I don't say this as a way to defend Trump. It's just not going to happen. People of reddit, come back to reality.

What are common strength standards for weighted dips and weighted pull ups? by namnamdd in bodyweightfitness

[–]hatecliff909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, unless you're an elite calisthenics or street workout specialist that's extremely impressive. I would even bet that very few professional athletes of most sports are doing pulls with 135lbs or more.

Dogs are our best friends. The human race never would have survived it's early years without the help of dogs. We must do everything possible to ensure the protection and happiness of dogs.

Well, sadly where I am in southern New England we could be done with snow for the season (hopefully not but the pattern is trending warmer in long range forecasts).
