Not just japa alone. I'm also conscious of where I make comments about things like these. Like I'm just supposed to throw away facts and logic and agree with whatever you feel and identify with. Now we have Transage, Transrace, etc. TED Talk had that episode basically insinuating pedophilia is a sexual orientation and people shouldn't be shamed for it.
I'm trying to change location but this new nonsense is playing a big factor in my decision. This place has bleeped up my head enough. I can't jump to where I can go to jail for not calling someone by their preferred pronoun.
The thing is I'm actually empathetic to their plight and what a lot of them have dealt with. The way I see it they are free to be whoever they chose, so long as it's not encroaching on the rights and livelihood of others. The problem is you're rarely ever able to find anyone that doesn't run for the hills screaming transphobe whenever you express dissonance in views

As for pedophilic folks just don't hang around me because I can be pissed and just assumed they are fresh off molesting a kid and forget my fists in their face

At this rate were you born female is a legit first date question. The key is knowing where your rights start and where it ends.

Joel and his antics. I saw the game and fight..hmmmm, should I even call it a fight? It was more like a scuffle, a level higher than Gianis v Smart last night. Embiid has a bad rep in the league and people will go at him because he is not a good loser especially with his mouth. I just feel bad for KAT though, the stigma about his past with Butler will always be a trigger for him and I bet you Embiid mentioned something related to that.
The part I found amusing was Ben Simmons corralling KAT on the ground. There is clearly some underlying beef there as Embiid has made it his mission to go after every big at his position.

He did mention something related to Butler subliminally

I hope they don't get lengthy suspensions. KAT did swing and miss

When Donjazet called for cautious optimism some days ago he was hounded by some students of one institution without accreditation and called a bad energy that need crucification.

This Chelsea side is still a work in progress a continuation from the past failure to acknowledge this fact will lead to heightened expectations and severe pain when reality strikes.

In two games this season against Yoonited we've played different strikers and they were bullied by that £80m Senderos, I expected Lampard to start Giroud due to his physicality and aerial dominance and combinatorial ability to tire out Senderos and his troops but he preferred Batsman and Agali to him. I hope he takes these loses as learning curve and give us plenty good times ahead.

The pronoun thing is the most ridiculous thing in the world, the moment i see a persons bio with pronouns I already know they're bat shit crazy. Apparently now theres 100 genders too SMH.
I still want to believe it's the new 'cool' and a fad that will pass as time goes on.

You're right. I'm yet to see any rational person with pronouns on their bio. Just mess with one and you have unlocked an army of killer bees in your mentions

Basically you're whatever gender you want to be depending on the side of the bed you woke up from.

For people that are supposed to be liberal or tolerant they are the complete opposite of that. They're the most dogmatic people in the world and anyone who doesn't conform to their ideals is a monster. How is that any different from religious extremism. I get the whole live and let live philosophy that we should all adopt in life but a line has to be drawn somewhere, and we should all be allowed to air our opinion on certain things as long as its not inciting hate or violence against others whether they agree with it or not. Everyone has that prerogative.
The tolerance starts and ends the minute you disagree with them on issues like these. You automatically become a phobe of some sort.

Something as trivial as the use of a bathroom which is just common sense

I hear transgender "women" have been smashing female records in athletics in certain places. Any woman who condones such madness is an enemy of women, period. No woman will be able to compete ever again. Why not just create a whole new category for trans people?
You would definitely be labeled a transphobe like I and a lot of other people were when we suggested they have their own Sports. They will argue that society segregates them enough and their laughable analogy is always the dead giveaway as to how these guys are completely clueless on all things Sports

You mostly find the Firebrand Feminazis who display misplaced allyship in that boat. So that they in turn also reciprocate when they go full misandry mode.

That's why they and Beta men always unite to attack their common enemy the Hetero man at any given turn. Always hilarious to see

The alphabet people can be unforgiving and unrelenting.
I get that society has not been kind to a lot of them and their quirks and idiosyncratic ways. However a lot of them just see anyone that doesn't share their views on everything as an enemy and start their outrage p0rnn rants

Look at the matter of the athlete (a cyclist I think) that was biologically a male and competing with women and then you have these guys hollering transphobia and are completely clueless about sports and think merely lowering testosterone levels is all it takes to level the playing field and allow actual men compete with women.

It's a code I can't get jiggy with sha. Unless it's your brother or in Amanda Nunes's case your spouse then I don't see the point of it. In DCs case he went to pick up two losses to Bones and in Romero's case he can't make weight in his division even for title fights. Makes zero sense that you're the only one sacrificing your career for said 'friend' (worked out for DC to be fair)

Dana White does not care for fight fan purists. He is always after what would bring in the most casuals. An Izzy vs Romero fight will bring in more casuals plus Romero is a credible challenger. It's a fight I wouldn't miss

I won't sell Cannonier so short but the thing I like about Izzy is this is the 3rd straight fight he's showing me something different and something I've not seen before. It's a sign he is getting better

That is the angle you are viewing it from. All I'm saying is a suspect chin can be hidden but exposed the higher the quality of guys you fight. Age and attrition can wear down your chin (cc Spider) but for a guy like Weidman it's clear beyond reasonable doubt that he had a glass jaw and only got exposed as he went along

Whittaker doesn't have or might not have a glass jaw same way George Foreman did not have a glass jaw as people wildly erroneously thought. Anyone can get caught in a fight, it's the frequency that determines like in Weidman, Arlovski or Overeem's case. Not just one fight

Fair enough. It could be so. However you have to consider that most of these fights actually get won and lost in the latter rounds. He slowed down against Costa (I thought Costa won that one easily don't get the outrage)

The more reason I need for Bones to leave LH. He has zilch left to prove. I know I will never be arsed to watch another Jones fight at LH. He's beaten every credible challenger in the division in the last decade. It's a year end, he's USADA free, healthy and still can't get a fight. No wonder he's all over Twitter mouthing off at Stylebender every other day

I agree there is a wider jump in weight than boxing but harder is a stretch. Both of Jones last two opponents were middleweights. Gastellum moved up. A lot of fighters have routinely pulled it off. Jones has the build to pull it off easily

Jones knows his fancy moves will be a lot harder to pull off in Heavyweight where a body shot can scatter all your well thought out plans at the drop of a dime. There are many older slower guys in the Heavyweight division but Jones knows the risks far outweigh the rewards

I don't want Stylebender anywhere near Bones for now. In another year and a half or so we can revisit the discussion. Right now he wouldn't stand a chance

KarnBarlow:
There are many words i can use to describe Yoel but that is not one of them. I think he just truly believes in his principles as far as fighting a friend. Ben and woodley said the same thing about each other as well and thats why ben was pushing for a 165 division. Truth is Yoel is on a losing streak, eluded father time for a very long time but father time is finally catching up to him and he has weight issues. I think as close as that costa fight was he lost that mysticism he had after the fight. And for one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the UFC the fact that he rarely even tries to take a fight to the ground is just disappointing.
Let's keep shyte real man. That whole buddy yarns flies out the window if he believes he can beat Bones. It's the freaking UFC not a tea party.

To be fair to Yoel those were not your usual kind of losses. Some would tell you he won the second Whittaker fight, some crazier folks even swear he beat Borrachinha too. I think more people will want to see Stylebender vs Yoel than Stylebender vs Cannonier and in the end that's all that matters with Dana White. I mean hell he wanted to bring Brock friggin Lesnar to jump the queue and fight DC and right now has put the hottest fighter in the Heavyweight division in the freezer all for a Stipe vs FC trilogy.

I have no qualms provided Yoel can make weight. If not then the fight is pointless

KarnBarlow:
Cannonier has looked good recently and especially against the joker but he has KO power and thats it, i dont see anything that makes me think he can strike with israel. Whittaker put on a shameful performance so no one wants to see an immediate rematch. I think all those battles with yoel took a toll on his chin too. He has to work his way back up.
Cannonier is my personal preference cos that muhfugga Yoel is a suspected juicer. Whittaker was too eager and I told you he would be Izzy's easiest fight as he stylistically plays into Izzy's hands. He's a volume striker fighting arguably the most accurate hitter the division has ever seen, it was always going to end in tearssss

I don't buy the argument Whittaker's battles with Romero took a toll. He had more than enough time to recuperate and a chin is not what you lose. You either have it or you don't. He's not fought as many battles as Stylebender and is even younger.

Yoel can get Izzy especially if he can still find his Ground n Pound. He throws bombs but for me he tends to fade later in fights. Izzy has shown he can take hits, which was my initial fear and if he can withstand the first 3 rounds then the fight is 80% won already.

KarnBarlow:
Paulo costa was the only person who looked like a threat. I'd say right now i'm more intrigued by the winner of till vs gastelum especially if till wins in impressive fashion. Otherwise there is no one at 185 that seems like a proper threat to Israel. I know its MMA and anything can happen but israel is sitting pretty right now.
Every fighter is a threat but I especially don't write off these Brazilian ninjas. Don't forget the only person to ever drop Izzy in all of MMA was Brazilian

KarnBarlow:
As long as he stays as far away from Jon Jones as possible that is. He don't want that smoke.
Lol Bones is a flat track bully. What has to happen for this ninja to move to Heavyweight. How many more middleweights need to move up for him to realize the LH is a Ghost town right now. There is a reason he's had no fight lined up for almost 6 months after his last win. Dominik Reyes is really the only name you can bring up that's not laughable.

I heard he walks around at 230 so why is he so scared to move to Heavyweight? Ironically I think he beats most of the Heavyweight guys out there so long as he doesn't stand and try to trade with them. His cardio would stand him in good stead and save for Ngannou who only needs one punch to send him to the nether realm I think he would be able to finesse a decision or even a submission on most of the rest

This is why I respect your boy Canelo, taking real risks moving up to fight Kovalev at Light Heavyweight. What GGG failed to do in his prime

Paulo Costa out for the foreseeable future. Damnnn! Was really looking forward to him and Stylebender

I want to see Izzy and Cannonier. No point putting Romero up there since he will never make weight and is too much of a vajayjay to move up to LH and fight his BFF Bones

benji93:
As much as I respect those numbers especially 8 assists, his field goal was bad:41.8%. So he still has some catching up to do in that regard. If he can add 4- 5 % to that this season perhaps we can revisit the conversation. The projections are in order though. Plus if you really read my comments, I wasn't exactly treating your argument as garbage. I was indirectly referring to the other guy that clearly stated he's top 5 point guard right now.
That was largely due to his poor start. All I'm saying and trying to say is the comparison at the moment is not as laughable as when he first got into the league. There is something there

You're the one more ho is getting in your feelings bro. You're the one projecting into the future just after 1 and half seasons comparing him to someone who has spent 10 seasons.
What in God's name is this dude on about? So we need to wait 10 seasons before we project into the future? Do you even know what projecting means?

Did Patrick Mahomes need to play for 15 seasons before people began projecting his future and ceiling?

What in Trae Young's skillset do you see that makes you believe he cannot be a Steph in the future.

Is he at Steph level now? No.

Can he possibly be as good as Steph in future. Yes. Based on what we have seen so far

How hard can that be to possibly understand

The argument that Trae young could very well be the next Curry is not far-fetched, but there is one thing to note. We still have to wait till the end of the season to make a solid comparison between their respective second seasons, otherwise all we can talk about is ceiling/ potential. Nothing more.
So since you agree it is not far fetched why is everyone up in arms? We are saying the comparisons are legit and he has the potential to be a Steph. We're not saying he is at Steph's level now. The point is even I who was not a believer in Trae Young has been forced to rethink my previous position

There is no such thing as too early. We are simply projecting into the future which is what makes Sports fun. With what Trae Young has shown compared with what Steph did when he entered the league and the fact that Trae Young at this stage of his career is already a better passer than Steph was in Steph's second year, there is nothing to suggest that he cannot be as good as Steph.

When Ray Allen started no one ever thought Steph Curry would be as good as him but what happened? You guys need to stop getting in your feelings
