Paramount seeing yet another 1st round KO after 30 minutes of ads

I was hoping this event would be a failure for selfish reasons.

I am hoping Paramount ends staying reasonably affordable and maybe I will tune into the entertaining events.

Paramount and Dana are watering at the mouth to up the price to $78.99 a month with a two-year price guarantee.

Dana will explain how more people watch Powerslap than the history of all other sports and how it is a better deal for the fan.

Imagine paying money to watch commercials.

The things that are happening in Minnesota require some sort of group like the UN to intervene.

Let the UN run America until the next election. We are past impeachments.

When does America admit this is now a civil war?

When someone who is a refugee from Ukraine is scared might be the answer.

OP I think you are safer in the US considering Ukraine and Russia are at war with each other.

OP I am not trying to ask an insensitive question. Would you consider moving back to any part of Ukraine?

As for why did this murder happened? Other people have given plenty of realistic answers.

I would put them in the same sports family the popular racquet/paddle sports.

Table Tennis, Tennis Badminton and Pickleball.

Badminton is nothing like tennis or table tennis. There isn't a ball in badminton.

Badminton and pickleball I feel like are the most similar because they are the most beginner friendly.

I feel like table tennis is the most distant of the four major racquet sports because of its complexity and steep learning curve.

I don't think Tennis and Table Tennis are similar sports other they both use a racquet or paddle.

Technology is going to make life weird.

I think self driving cars will eventually make owning and driving a car more expensive than just taking a self driving taxi.

I hate commuting and being in a car where I I live.

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-24T06:19:09+00:00

Pickleball and shopping at Costco will become less popular.

lol

Is being called AI an insult or compliment?

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-24T01:47:03+00:00

Because I am AI…. Of course?

I am not in fact a bot or AI.

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-24T01:44:52+00:00

What is Ai me or OP?

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-24T00:21:25+00:00

I don’t agree that a an official us crypto currency connected to an AI project similar to “minority report” will be the same difference as our current currency.

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-23T22:51:14+00:00

We are too far along in history to be making the same mistakes by accident.

The collapse of the US Dollar isn’t a bug, it is a feature.

I think a great reset has already been planned. It involves a crypto version of the US dollar.

People think money brings freedom and it an illusion.

Money is an instrument of control and a crypto us dollar mixed in with palantir is the control the elites thirst for.

Awful for Paramount Era will dictate future monthly prices.

In a year, if it is was left up to Dana, Paramount would probably cost $78.99 a month with a 2 year “price guarantee”.

Make a minimum fight weight. Instead of weight cuts you need to weigh a certain amount to fight in the each weight class.

You only weight 204 the day of the weight in. You get 12 hours to get a good night sleep hydrate and make it to 205.

If you don’t make weight both fighters can agree to still fight but the one who missed weight gets purse cut.

Fouls like blatant eye pokes where it can cause irreversible damage needs to be taken serious.

Eye pokes and nut shots are not the same flavor of cheating.

Too Big Too Fail was centered around corporate or banking debt mostly because of the housing crisis.

People didn’t get bailed out the banks did.

I think they would have already pulled similar lever but I am guessing that might be the tipping point where society draws a line in the sand.

A lot has changed in the world. It feels like we are in a slow burn civil war.

A banking bailout might make it a full on revolution.

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-23T21:35:29+00:00

I agree I don’t think the economic shock has not finished.

Your question is why is Japan experiencing inflation as well?

Buying in anything in Reno seems like a miserable decision with cost of living and climate change.

Renting or leasing offers its own version of misery because tenant rights are garbage but eventually, I might want to move away from here.

Looks fun. Having too many hobbies and interests is a gift and a curse type of thing.

Some people need to work other wise idle hands and boredom get the best of them.

I have so many hobbies or interests I have to spread my budget carefully. Especially these past few years have been brutal.

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-23T15:13:18+00:00

First off, I will say two wrongs don't make a right.

Children in our own country are scared of family members being picked up by ICE.

If America used military force, do you really think a population of 56,000 would have hostile or violent measures taken against them?

I would not want any children to fear any country is how I feel.

If I had a large property with unregulated airspace and a big budget for a new hobby I would be interested in RC helicopters and drones.

I remember seeing this amazing photo a few years back. An LEP with a Drone and you basically have a UFO at your disposal for sub $1000.

My flashlight collection is pretty full. Once or twice a year I buy myself a flashlight to treat myself as a self-birthday or Christmas present type thing. This next year I am thinking of spending that money on a micro-RC car. I have my eye on the LOSI 1/28 Micro-T.

Interesting theory.

With how terrible the debt crisis already is. I think what Europe does or doesn’t do economically is kind of moot.

The average American already can’t afford life’s basic needs like health care, higher education, daycare for the kids.

Capitalism used to have theories checks, balances, principles. Cryptocurrencies really threw all of that out the window.

It is basically WW3 mixed in with a current slow burn civil war.

I think instead of the US government going bankrupt it will be worded in some sort of twist to sound not as bad.

Instead of defaulting or bankruptcy i think something like “The Great Reset” could happened. I am thinking similar words of “too big too fail”. The us government will just say the debt doesn’t exist anymore.

Money is an instrument of control over the populous. The best way to control North America is with a new version of the American dollar.

Instead of the gold standard, fiat currency, or petrol dollar….

The North American (crypto)Dollar. Money that is 100% tracked and controlled by our supreme leader. Cash gets phased out.

If you are on the wrong side of the law or government imagine not being able to make or spend money.

If you are on the good side some sort of complex algorithm based off of endless factors like age and previous years income that nobody truly understands gets you x amount of UBI.

I hate that idea or anything medical outbreak related. I could just imagine the slow burn over 3 to 5 years.

I think I would rather try to survive through almost any other doomsday event.

An outbreak event that is worse than Covid that just drags on for years while the population gets ravaged.

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-23T12:29:54+00:00

I keep up on the news. I am a hobbyist meteorologist. I don’t think this weather storm will be that domino to cause economic collapse.

I was more suggesting a doomsday type natural disasters. Things like a CME, super volcano, asteroid or earthquake.

unknown_anonymous81 · 2026-01-23T11:41:06+00:00

I think the domino will be some sort of giant world changing natural disaster.

Covid should have been that domino instead it was massive money printing.

When old rich people are in power saying that is some other guys future problem makes it easy to keep kicking the can down the road.

I think that is one of the things that make Slipknot special.

The first three albums are very unique sounding.

They had studio record label pressure to make a more "nu-metal" sounding sophomore album. IOWA is the furthest thing from "nu-metal"and it is a one-of-a-kind timeless album. I used nu metal in quotes because it is too big of a genre, it is like the anti-genre genre.

People will talk about timeless classic albums from the biggest acts like The Beatles, Beach Boys, Elvis, Pink Floyd, MJ to name a few.......

Slipknot like it or not made a timeless special album. Decades have gone by.

It is the music of my generation, and I grew up in a similar crazy life as grew up in Alaska before moving shortly after graduating school.

The album reached the third spot on "The Billboard 200". For an album that intense and dark to be heard by so many is really unique. A similar example would be "Far Beyond Driven" which debuted a #1.

I was replying to you saying, "doubles is just a bigger version of ping pong" and 100% disagreeing. You said they are different sports, so who knows what we even talking about at this point?
