So close! Logan is not Jake, and was a non-scored exhibition bout instead of actual competition 💕

Right and it's the same theory of walking 10,000 steps a day being a metric for health. The steps are an arbitrary number but guess what types of people have the free time to walk 10,000 steps with any regularity?

Right! The fact that he took training seriously very seriously behind closed doors in a way that does not line up with his public clown performance act should not be difficult to reconcile.

This is just the belligerently drunk guy I met in an elevator at Red Rock who lost a bet on Brock vs Carwin who was ranting that every single UFC fight is rigged to me and Shogun Rua, who he did not recognize.

I feel like nobody engaged with that movie on its own terms. Talking policy would distract from what it's actually interested in exploring; particularly American manifestations of a Freudian death drive

Was this around 2006 with Lamb of God and Mastadon as the other openers? Because that tour ripped.

A really terrible bit is giving people The Gift by Marcel Mauss and asking them not to reciprocate.

Yeah, and a lot of the big tech embrace of fascism makes much more sense when you recognize they're both top down cults of action for action's sake.

Do you remember when Google had like five different chat and video calling things and that were not integrated? It's because their employees need a product launch to get a promotion, none of them were particularly creative, and new chat products are the easiest thing to build.
