  1. Spade needs to reflect on why he thought Connor McGregor was going to beat Nate Diaz @ 170 when his entire style rested on him being the much larger man.

     

    I would also be interested in hearing Spade's thoughts on whether McGregor beats Edgar at 145, because I'm not so sure about that, either. If Edgar prices above +250, I'm probably in.

     

    Pffft

     

    Conor eats him up standing, imo. I don't think Diaz has the power to stave off Conor, and is will have trouble with the speed and punching power of Conor.

     

    Outside chance of bjj sub from Diaz.

     

    He's a tough dude though and nobody can doubt he has good stand-up game, so it's possible it plays out differently. I just think it's unlikely.

     

    Nate's height and reach are why I give that small chance of it playing out differently. But I'm looking at Conor being taller than RDA, Benson Henderson, Grey Maynard, and has a 3-4 inch reach advantage over them, Josh Thompson is probably less than an inch taller, and Conor has a 3 inch reach advantage on him too.

     

    I think Nate is too slow to manage Conor at a distance.

     

    I'd love to be wrong and see a stand up fight that Nate dominates and finishes. Not because I dislike Conor, but because I like being wrong and surprised. Exciting shit.

     

    And I'm not disagreeing with you really anyway - we haven't seen the mick against a taller, longer opponent in the UFC. Could definitely be a "well, we've revealed that" moment. I just have a hard time seeing it in this fight because of the speed difference.

     

    I stand by everything I said. The first round showed the speed difference and Nate's inability to keep Conor at distance. Nate was getting lit up. Second round revealed that Conor is no RDA in ability to keep a pace, and no Diaz in ability to take a punch.

     

    Heh.

    I agree, that's a tougher fight than he's had aside from Diaz, and I'd take him at +250. I think Mcgregor has the edge because of that size, but Frankie grinding him out is a distinct possibility.

     

    And I think RDA beats Conor handily if Conor doesn't hurt him real early.

  2. Does it? Do we have any context at all or video? If there is a video then made it would say a lot.

     

    Yes, we have context.

     

    We have the 30% or something of Trump supporters who say that the slaves shouldn't have been freed. We have the white supremacists organizations who have come out in support for Trump. We have the absolute tidal wave of - and this is only the vocal and unabashed ones we're talking about - explicitly racist support all over social media for Trump.

     

    And all of that is just the vocal segment. That isn't even accounting for the, almost certainly, larger group of those who silently, or quietly, or only in certain company, or anonymously are racists - anywhere from a mild to excessive degree.

     

    Yeah, there's a lot of context.

     

    So, yeah, maybe that is just a perfectly timed picture of a an old white woman doing a new type of yoga pose she is trying out that, in her old age, she didn't realized looked like a Nazi salute. Something like that may be happening there. That is actually possible, if unlikely.

     

    But who gives a fuck? Even if she isn't tossing up a Nazi salute - the picture says plenty, you oblivious, "skeptical when skeptical is stupid or irrelevant" imbecile.

  3. Seems we're going to find out just how far this proto-fascist Trump rally shit can go on.

     

    That racist old man sucker elbow to the Wiz Khalifa gentleman's face really raised the bar (especially with the coot saying they "might have to kill him next time"), I knew things were going to flare up pretty quick after that.

     

    Arrests and violence already ramping up.

  4. it's official

     

    I can't watch CNN any longer. The normal partisan pundits they have on are annoying enough but the Trumpkins make me want to strangle a kitten.

     

    But... but... where will you get your fair and balanced "news" if you aren't watching the "liberal media"?

  5. I did some thinking, and took the test again. This time I got 80 Hilary / 77 Berns / 70 Rubio. My ideology is Centrist, leaning just a hair to the left.

     

    Milquetoast.

     

    But hey, if you're center-left, and least you're left of Obama. This makes you indistinguishable from marxist kenyan socialist communist godless homosexual pc SJW multiculturalist white-genociding pinko's to far-right people anyway.

     

    That's pretty much what I got.

     

    A little different from the first time I took it, but not much.

    lol, you agree with like, everybody on everything.

     

    So weird.

     

    -- I see now what's happening. You're like pretty strong on "security" over "privacy" and "globalism" over "protectionism" - but strong for "socialism" over "capitalism".

     

    So you have some really right-leaning ideas and some really left leaning ideas.

     

    Interesting stuff.
