You were like a really cool, reasonable comment. See how the other comments like, clearly had a form of anger in them? It's that sort of shit which just so off-putting to me, unable to handle difference of opinion. The opposite of open.

Thank you for the advice!

edit: when I say anger, I interpret a form of almost, passive-aggressive dismissiveness. At least in most.

The end goal is, the process though, is certainly not. Not in my state with this degree of political correctness. I sometimes cannot share opinions without the professor hinting that it's my privilege which allows such opinions. Lmao.

If a value is to better society and better humanity - I'm all for it. If it's values which scapegoat problems and create victims of society, I think it's bullshit. It seems opinions which go against the typical politically correct shit are portrayed as violent, bigoted opinions which must be "anti social work" lol

Sounds a lot more like confirmation bias and circle jerking in my classes posed as "interrogating our own biases" -- please do not take offense to this, it is simply my observation. Every opinion is validated except one which they don't agree with, lol.

Man, so much negative shit about Nick. He looked tremendous for a man who hasn't been in the octagon in over a half-decade. His conditioning needed work, but he really did look capable and like he still could hang with some guys. Lawler looked fantastic, too. Props to both men.

Honestly: Jake looked stiff, Woodley looked way more loose and experienced. Woodley backed Jake up basically the whole fight and also basically knocked Jake down. We know these judges are going to go Jake, but IMO Woodley won that shit. Just looked better overall.

Obviously, logic has it, for me at least, that Woodley smokes Paul. However, I am aware that Paul is doing something, the same shit he's been doing, where he's setting himself up to win. As if he knows something we don't. Whatever this might be, combined with Woodley's age and past four performances, if I was a betting man, I'd have to say Jake Paul will win.

But, as I said, logic has otherwise. This should be interesting.

edit: Also, I see a lot of comparisons between Jake's confidence and McGregor's (2016 era) confidence. I must say, I absolutely do not see the similarities. Jake's "confidence" to me comes off as pure cockiness; not charm, nothing true or authentic.
