My father bought our VCR system in the early 90's because he thought it would make us kids weak. Then he used all of our cassettes for sport. Great guy if you ask me!

That's terrible, I really feel for you. I'm guessing you found his VHS porn collection on the top shelf of his closet, and he wasn't amused

It's like, even though browsing through something like Netflix gives you all of the same info as the box at a video store, it isn't the same. I'd always check out the back of the box and read what was there, I don't tend to really do it when I stream, not really sure why.

I've kinda fallen back from piracy, mostly (fuck you, Dana), but it's really due to not having a desktop to make it as practical to store stuff. I'm sure there will come a day when I remedy that (keep up your prices, Netflix). I still do books from time to time, but if I find I'm enjoying them I usually will buy them. I've gotten to the point where, if I'm really enjoying something like music or books, I will try to support the creators. I'm still hesitant to give Warner Media and the like my money for an album, but I will go to the band's site and buy merchandise from them directly. Kinda a thank you for creating something that makes my life enjoyable.

Not sure what I'd do without music, in particular. During a work day, if I'm not at my desk, I can't hear anyone, bc I have buds in my ears at all times. Suffice to say that when I was locked up, my life was in shambles.

Walking in a movie store is more like walking in a library looking for something interesting. Very relaxing and effortless. This is actually one of few places where VR could be a good thing if it did not take all of our $. Trying it.

No we had to go to one of my friends houses for that.
My father was close to being world elite in long distance skiing so everything was about that.
At least he did not make me long distance run.
That shit is just horrible!

books is the only thing I don't cheapskate on. I don't like reading books on a digital screen, feels weird and tiring. I feel ya on the artists...I will just go to a concert to support them. I do everything on desktop, I haven't had a TV in 13 years, it has no use for me. I rarely go to the movies these days, a huge majority of movies are trash, and I can watch em 2 days later online for free.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, regardless of how stupid it is, and honestly, I could give less of a fuck what Joe wants. This move only serves Ilia's interests. I suspect there are very few who would actually be against the fight itself, however it creates a divisional logjam again and is a lose-lose situation for Islam.

Ilia's moving to 155lbs is pretty much a foregone conclusion, it's just a question of when. He hasn't cleaned out FW quite yet, but there are plenty of fun fights there for him at LW and I think he's capable of hanging with the top there.

 

[liner]

People shit on topeira for wanting to move up and fight bigger guys. Jesus Christ. Imagine if gsp back in the day had this attitude. Silva gsp was the fight everyone wanted. gsp didn't want it. That would have gone down as one of the biggest fights of all time.

Who remembers bj with this attitude, and we got one of the biggest fights ever in Penn gsp 2. Regardless how it turned out it was a massive fight that generated all kinds of excitement.

Topeira should be celebrated for his fighting attitude. Instead he's shit on. Fucking stupid. All these crap reasons to not want it. it's win win for him, he's holding up fw hes only got one defense. blah blah. Fuck all that. You got a dominant fighter who wants big fights a weight class up, give it to him and let's see what he's got.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

I like this fight. Fw lw it's 10 pounds and these dudes are cutting. It's a great fight. Don't love the ww jump nearly as much dudes are way bigger and just as skilled and fast.

I really need to look into whether I can add storage to my TV. They're essentially computers these days, but I have it in mind that they're a bit limited. But they have web browsers on them, and, to a degree, you can do some of the same things with them that you would a desktop. I've never even checked to see how much storage is on it. I think that, if I can figure out whether it is compatible with an external storage device, I might be in business and not really need a desktop.

The last movie I saw in a theater was Godzilla Minus One (three times, one of them in B&W), but that is about the only thing I've been willing to pay $20 or whatever to go see. That's less about not enjoying movies in a theater, and more about people need to leash and muzzle their fucking kids ffs

you can do that with the TVs for sure. You can actually hack the TV, and make it custom to what you need it. Delete all the crap on it, and just leave what you need, get a nice wireless keyboard and you in da game.

In order to make this happen, would one require a desktop, you think? Bc, if not, I might look into this. The firmware on it is ass

 

[Mammothman]

They both have work to do in their divisions, Islam have unfinished business with Arman and both Evloev and Lopes are juicy contenders for Topuria.

If somebody deserve a TS in the upper weight class it's Islam since he have already 4 tittle defenses at LW, Topo only have 1.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Personally I'd rather see the champion who is moving up to have a couple of defenses at least. Give it a proper build up

But as a fan I'm not complaining tho because it's extremely hard to time peak champion vs champion super fights. If Ilia Topuria can at least defend the belt against another contender who isn't named Volk, that wouldn't be too much to ask. In the meantime Islam can reschedule Arman too

I believe most smart TVs can run Android OS, so if you didn't want to just get a cheap PC/notebook and attach it via HDMI to your TV, you can just run that on your TV and have a mini desktop via that. Most smart TVs nowdays have an SSD installed, but obviously will depend on your model etc. There is always a way to upgrade firmware to a more stripped down, faster etc version that gets rid of the lot of bloat(root/jailbreak tools will be needed), but I haven't done it myself yet, cause I don't have a TV; but its out there

I really appreciate the info. I hadn't really considered doing it with my TV, but I've done it before with MP3 players and tablets and whatnot. There is so much unnecessary bullshit on this TV that I would love switching up the firmware on it. Would probably run hella faster.

You can't 'meh' reality. Size is an actual thing. It's not a statement, or an opinion or a feeling.

I know that this may be a difficult concept for many Shitdoggers to grasp.

Yes and no. Yes, Islam is clearly bigger than Ilia (and was bigger than Max).

The "no" part is more that in general you can't really just say "so and so used to fight at _____" and think that's the full story on their size. Oliveira spent a lot of his career as a sucked out 145er until he grew a brain and realized that's not his "size". And now he looks like a massive LW. Poirier was a FW too, nobody thinks he's a small LW. Plenty of other examples.

 

[Striker Fox]

They're clearly the top 2 p4p fighters, so what fan wouldn't want to see that fight.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Islam ain't got time for this nonsense. He cares about legacy

This, Islam is the type of champion that wants to move UP, and doesn't want his biggest wins to be against undersized FWs.....basically he's the antithesis of Khabib.

 

[Dr Fong]

I should have known better by now than to engage Shitdoggers in a discussion about basic concepts like size or age.

I have nobody to blame but myself.

Rogan wants Toppy to fight Islam
And I want a threesome with 2 of the “The Price is Right” models
We will see what happens first
(Hint: The Title fight)
