Whats the upside?down side of cte and drugs
Whats the upside?down side of cte and drugs
Oh no! You've made both factions of partisan retards angry!it might sound ridiculous but we had an Alzheimer's patient as the President of the strongest country on earth last year and currently have a felon. having a drug addled cage fighter as a Governor doesn't sound so ridiculous in comparison.
Deep.ironically, we are all here to kick a man while he's down for kicking a man while he was down
I train with a retired UFC fighter.It's scary when a trained fighter loses his mind.
I mean if he thinks you're an evil alien or something, BJ could literally kill you with his bare hands. You'd be pretty helpless.
How he kept fans after bringing his mom to help testify in his greasing nonsense is beyond meNever liked BJ Penn, even back when most of you guys were sucking his dick something about him always rubbed me the wrong way.
Stop being soft. It's a little mid life crisis. Everything will be fineHow can a person be arrested this many times and still be roaming the streets. Not even a psych evaluation? Where are his friends, brothers, cousins, somebody.
Deep.
Now think about this. You don't stop dying until you stop living.
He wasn't competitive at all. Coming in 2nd in the republican primary in hawaii doesn't mean much.BJ Penn running for Gov and being very competitive is exactly why Socrates was right about democracy
Whats the upside?
Was in hilo a few years back and saw his gym there, he probably does have CTE that is affecting his behavior, i wouldn’t rule it outIn before: most post-career mental collapse is not CTE, it’s quantifiable existential decompression, a measurable psychological response to the sudden loss of structure, purpose, and hormonal balance that comes with retirement, not a neurological disease.

I sense this in The Iceman as well, as well as in guys like Goodridge and Bigfoot, who just couldn't seem to walk away (and, of course, with guys getting double-digit concussions when others would be a decade retired already. . . . it just doesn't look good on either front).Thanks. Ordinary retirement already destabilizes people, routine gone, status gone, hormones and social reinforcement collapse.
Now multiply that by a fighter’s lifestyle, adrenaline spikes, extreme discipline, violence as identity. When that end, the nervous system crashes. Testosterone, dopamine, and cortisol all drop while the brain still expects high stimulation.
Thats why exfighters spiral. It’s not mystery or “CTE every time,” it’s neurochemical withdrawal from purpose and pressure. They’ve lived years in survival mode, and suddenly there’s nothing to survive for.
I've been thinking about this for daysSuper deep.
Now think about this. The only way out is IN.
A guy named Joel Koskan ran for state senate in South Dakota in 2022. He lost, but he never would have kept the position anyway, seeing as how he was sentenced just a few months later to 10 years for "incest," which is frankly an insulting final charge considering what happened.BJ Penn running for Gov and being very competitive is exactly why Socrates was right about democracy
Now, I was always confused by this. I thought he was just merely elected to city council, which is as easy as making a ham sandwich, then just ended up appointed pre tem. Did anyone actually elect him to be the acting mayor?Tito for City council and acting mayor?
