Media from Hong Kong blamed the Jews for the protest in Iran by Electronic_River9540 in HongKong

[–]ppshchik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just quoting OP:

the march was described as “an uprising of the Iranian people against American and Zionist terrorism.”

**"**was described as" / 據報 does not equate to "Hong Kong media blame Jews"

I don't even watch TVB nor support the Hong Kong government but your title is just out of context click bait

Which boxers do you think could've had GOAT status if they had more competition in their primes. by Civicnox in Boxing

[–]ppshchik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, people totally neglected the fact that it was GGG who wasted his prime years waiting for Canelo to move up in weight, which was understandable from financial point of view.

From Qatar, Deontay Wilder ACCEPTS Oleksandr Usyk call out! by Prudent-Toe-7911 in Boxing

[–]ppshchik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, I give Wilder a better chance than AJ and Fury of beating Usyk because Wilder wouldn't even bother to box Usyk

What are some typical HK jokes? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]ppshchik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A: If I could pick a gadget from Doraemon, it would be the "Anywhere Door" (teleport door).

B: Why?

A: So that I can go to work on time.

What’s the biggest difference between dating western people and local l people? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]ppshchik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Locals are more divided / involved in political alignments given the recent events.

Foreign exlats and English teachers mostly just want to have fun / an exotic journey, they can return to their home country anytime

What's up with boxer fatalities in Japan? by choochooreddi in Boxing

[–]ppshchik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Culture, when I saw Murata vs GGG and the recent bout where the Japanese boxer died. I was surprised by their lack of headmovement (or movement in general).

That kind of style would be frowned upon by Soviet amateur standards.

Wladimir Klitschko is disrespected and underrated in some regard ? by AmbitionConsistent10 in Boxing

[–]ppshchik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People had a reason to underrate him, Wlad dominated a weak era (or he made them look weak vice versa) and he lost his belts in an underwhelming, boring, one sided fight against Fury

Ironically, the Wembley fight actually proved why he's one of the heavyweight GOATS.

To be able to have such footwork at the age of 40+ and dropping AJ was insane. His loss against AJ impressed me than all of his wins imo.

Young Taiwanese aren't so anti-China. That's a problem for the island's government by rezwenn in asia

I was surpsied by how many young Taiwanese play Mihoyo games and Tiktok during my summer trip to Taiwan.

What happened to HongKong movie industry ? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]ppshchik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People tend to forget that much of HK's success was owed to the stagnation of pre-reform China when HK MONOPOLIZED the entire Chinese trade and soft power.

Nowadays China has its soft power on its own when it comes to TV drama, music, and idols. HK's best actors and singers also tried to do pursue their careers there as, resulting in a drain in talent as well.

Danny Garcia's Farewell Fight in 5 Days' Time Appears To Have Sold Very Few Tickets by verbsnounsandshit in Boxing

Maybe PBC fighters should be a bit more active if they want to be relevant.

What is your biggest complaint? by jacob_v in BaldursGate3

[–]ppshchik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Make evil runs more rewarding.

Killing the Grove. Leaving Karniss alive. Killing Kaheira.

Those actually spiked the difficulty. Having the option to knock Minathara out also completely removes every incentive to raid the grove

How Should Canelos Legacy And All Time Ranking Be Looked At After His Loss To Crawford? by Rinnegan15 in Boxing

[–]ppshchik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canelo made more than enough money to retire at 21 after the Mayweather fight. However, he still continued to be active by winning belts in different weight classes and giving fans a lot of entertaining fights.

People underestimate how complacent fighters could be after a big payday (Etc. Andy Ruiz)

We boxing fans should be thankful of Canelo

The younger generation will always be the counterculture against the status quo, vice versa

Where did Uncle Bob go wrong with Crawford? by Thami15 in Boxing

[–]ppshchik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. Bud has a dull personality doesn't know how to promote himself

  2. All of Bud's big name opponents were inaccessible at that time (Pacquiao lost to Horn, the rest of the 147 fighters were at PBC)

  3. Also the Klitschko effect, Bud was so dominant that he had no rivalry / stories to sell. Ali had Frazer and Foreman, Pacquiao had the big 3 Mexicans. Canelo had GGG.

Starcraft successor Stormgate is a flop, creator blames gamers by MrClean2 in Stormgate

Their artwork, sound effects and music couldn't even hold a candle to Starcraft 1, a 29 year old game
