The metaphor in your title doesn't fit the gripe...

In any case, probably because policing this stuff is way more effort than it's worth.

Isn't it enough that I ruined a pony, making a gift for youuuuuuuuuuuu...WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!

As I keep telling you, despite being into you, I'm still way too smart for you.

Then let me off this stupid mountain and call off your ... "children".

They're hungry. Have you ever had to deal with a hungry child?

You're on your own.

My Code Moneky @Thenomain will save me. Right? RIGHT? I HAVE FRITOS AND TAB AND MOUNTAIN DEW.

I was reminded. Whatever.

@Coin Oh man. Three hours?! Worst feeling. Upvoted because I have nightmares every time I oversleep. It's like my brain is already punishing me.

I biked almost 30 miles between Sunday and Monday, and I was sick day before yesterday, but yesterday I came to work. So I guess my body was like "noooooooooooooooooooooope" and my brain was like "butbutbutbutbutbut" and they split the difference.

OMG why are you so MEAN to me?

Section 4, subsection 2, paragraph 15, line 3: 'You like it'.

line 4: "Even if you don't, It's @Coin "

That's actually down in the fine print of the footnote.

@Catsmeow

It literally does not matter how the staff member is behaving, for answering his question. Nobody's jumping on him, it just so happens that the answer to the question he asked isn't the one he hoped for. Taking that as unreasonable criticism or people being aggressive is pretty ridiculous.

It isn't inherently mean to answer a 'how do I' with a 'you can't'.

"How do I fly without technological assistance?"

"Briefly, and with a sudden stop at the end."

At some point, dealing with the bad on a game outweighs enjoying the good.

It is at that point where you should definitely call it quits for the game.

It really is that subjective, and that simple.

I set my alarms (I have two). I went to bed a little late.

... I overslept three hours.

FML.

And I had nightmares the entire time, too. Ugh.

@Catsmeow said in RL things I love:

HEY!

Will someone be my RL things I love that live in another country? Will you send me treats? I would send you treats. We could be treats friends that live in different countries so stalking isn't too real a threat. Hit me up.

I like treats.

Still a little real, though, right? I like a little spice in it.

@Arkandel said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

@Derp It is polite in general (say, if you're referring to a stranger) as it's a way of showing respect. So kids are always supposed to refer to their elders that way.

This is really the same in Spanish, too.

@Auspice Rooting for you.

I'm just not someone who thinks an athlete can be the best, especially in a competitive sport where you have to interact. Usain Bolt may be the fastest sprinter in the world (maybe) but that's a quantifiable thing that has little to no interaction with his opponents.

In combat... it's a whole different world. I think Holm was just better than Rousey in that match up. I think she probably would have been better a little before, definitely a little after. Rousey had a streak of opponents she could handle and destroy, and then something different got in her way.

It's a little like Rock-Paper-Scissors, that way.

I guess the difference is that I don't consider having an iron jaw as having defense. Being able to take a punch (or ten) is not the same as being able to defend from those punches. Holmn was just more experienced in an area Rousey was not expecting to face a challenge in. Considering that months prior, Rousey downed someone else in like half a minute, I don't think she got 'got old' in a few months.

I mean, Rousey is 29 and Holm is 35... if anything, Holm was the bear and Rhonda poked it too hard...

@Ganymede

You can disagree all you want, but I don't think Holm got lucky at all. I think she studied her opponent and knew exactly what to do. She dominated that entire fight. "Getting lucky" is when you swing your fist and hit the other person by chance and it happens to stun them. Holm systematically brought Rousey down to the point where Rhonda was wild and lost all control, and then she kicked her teeth in.

I have no doubt that her defeat at Holm's hands (and feet) brought Rousey down a few pegs, enough that she didn't have the same fire, which undoubtedly helped Nunes destroy her the way she did. But she kept trying to grab Nunes those entire 48 seconds and Nunes just kept punching her in the face.

If you have to say "she didn't need defense" proved to be absolutely incorrect when she got knocked the fuck out. I mean, that's just true.

"I don't need defense because I am not going to get knocked out" + "I got knocked out" = "I needed defense".

@Derp

Honestly, I'm not sure the current mainstream Argentine scene is any good at all.

I would suggest looking up Los Piojos, Patricio Rey & Sus Redonditos de Ricota, La Vela Puerca--

In the seventies and eighties, Charly Garcia and Luis Alberto Spinetta (who collaborated in one band and then had others before they both went solo) were the shit. Charly can sometimes be a little more pop, but all his music is awesome (un his album "Say No More" which I found boring as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu).

Look up Spinetta Jade or Pescado Rabioso. Also Almendra. Those are all Spinetta bands.

Parte de la Religion es probably my favorite Charly Garcia album, but Piano Bar and Clics Modernos are both really up there, too.

Let me know what you think.

It looks to me like Nunes just capitalized on the flaw everyone was privy to since the fight with Holm: Roussey is just no good against boxers, she has no defense against them and has always relied on grapples and her superior Judo skills.

Holm and Nunes both made these boxing matches instead of grapple fights, and Rhonda couldn't handle that.

I don't celebrate her destruction, but she is someone who constantly smacktalks. I mean, I get it's mostly an act, but oy vey.
