Meh. None of this shit matters. People don’t really care about politicians do or don’t do. They just care that their team wins. Trump can do and has done a million things worse than use a private server and his supporters wouldn’t bat an eye.

1. MMA is not Football

I stated this in another post, but I’ll repeat it here: I think the pressure just gets to him. In combat sports (perhaps all sports) thinking is anathema to performance and I think he just is constantly thinking about what to do and what his next move is, step-by-step. That alone saps energy for several reasons, then,…

Exactly.

He hasn’t trained for “a few hours.” He’s trained at a top level camp for, like, 3 years. He should be able to at least put up a fight against someone like Jackson, who is maybe—maybe— a borderline champ in a local promotion.

Punk shouldn’t be this bad, though. I reckon you can take literally any schlub off the street, give him 3 years at Roofus sport and he’d put up a better effort than Punk has in his two outings.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

I’m super discombobulated. I think this was deadspin/the concourse, but I’m obviously reading a Ringer article.

Really, though, the only outright terrible decision that has been made since Lebron’s return has been the Kyrie trade, and that was only obvious in retrospect. If Kyrie and Love don’t get injured that first year, it’s certainly within the realm of possibility that these Lebron Cavs have two championship wins over…

Nah. I feel bad for her. She married some rich idiot to take his money. I’m actually quite cool with that.

I’ve been in the Mental Health field for 9 years. Yes, being a violent, entitled asshole is not a mental illness, sorry.

Yeah, an article like this pisses me off. HST was the first person to describe himself as a drug addict and lecher, and he was something of a selfish dipshit. Can’t really argue with any of that. But to ignore the inherent anger and disgust and, yes, morality at the core of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is such a…

Argh. Thinking like this is so frustrating. Don’t you get it? It’s the “moderates” that are completely and utterly ineffective. They’re beyond ineffective. They actively harm because they’re incompetent and stupid and they piss off the right wingers without actually doing anything to piss them off. They don’t…

Japan.

I mean, I agree with most of this post. And I feel like Bixenspan probably agrees with most of it too.

I usually enjoy your posts, but you’re wrong here. You’re talking about two completely different aspects of a fight. It is possible that in a fight with Pennington that Rousey closes the gap, takes her down and submits Pennington, but that has nothing to do with how the Rousey/Nunes fight went down and has very, very…

But it’s Yale. Aren’t we supposed to assume that all these people are Nietzschean Uberfolk simply by virtue of where they are allowed to write their stupid little essays?

Exactly. They are the most mediocre people I’ve ever met. Middle-manager types who think the letters after their names are indisputable facts that they’re important.

I just left a job in Higher Ed academia after being there for two years. I gotta tell you that you are so spot on. There’s something about that field that just attracts insecure, self-absorbed, idiotic little twerps. It says a lot that my new job is working in a Women’s rehab facility and the entire first week I…

Yeah, I eat more chocolate than I should on a daily basis, but I still have visible abs. Hell, 90-percent of my diet is basically junk carbs, but I just don’t eat more than 2,000 calories of them.
