Germanshepherd Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 moistcr1tikal, the Twitch streamer/YouTuber who largely brought Russian slap contests to American audiences, has condemned PowerSlap.Ā Ā He does a good job explaining how PowerSlap ignores the two biggest safety rules (donāt step into slaps, only slap with fingers/palm) to appeal to Dana Whiteās fantasies.Ā Ā He also brings up a Polish strongman who died even with the safety rules, though, so safety obviously exists within a very small vacuum in this realm.Ā Ā Ā Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscienceĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itās NEVER ok to smack a woman, but I find that being preceded by the feeling that itās never ok to smack anyone like that. Real move on his part, but I donāt exactly have a ton of sympathy for her, either. Ā This might be getting a little personal, but I had an ex who got pretty abusive like that toward the end, and she felt kind of emboldened knowing that I wasnāt going to do anything about it for a multitude of different reasons. Pretty quickly I realized that the only thing I could do was to leave. Iām a lot better off for it and am with someone now whoās the polar opposite of her, but Iām not going to lie and say there wasnāt some trauma Iāve dealt with because of it.Ā Ā Hitting women is just about the most vile answer you can come up with, but I really do wish we had a better way of confronting abuse from all ends.Ā Ā Ā My college girlfriend used to hit me in the chest with a closed fist along with the occasional slap in the face because she knew I wouldn't do anything in response. She also threw a high heel shoe at the back of my head when I wasn't looking. Her anger management and conflict resolution skills were insane, like she thought the point of having a boyfriend was someone you boss around and get into public arguments with. The smallest thing would set her off and when I started dating my now wife the first time I went to her with a request I was sheepish like "hey do you mind if I go to X with X?" It was almost like I had PTSD and she, like a normal person, said something like "yeah I don't care. Why are you asking me?" I remember thinking oh so this is how it's supposed to be.Ā Ā Ā Ā I like the guy running around the arena floor like it's an accomplishment that he knocked out a guy who was CHECKS NOTES just standing there and let him hit him as hard as he could. You're a real strong tough guy.Ā I find UFC pretty yucky, but at least the participants have an opportunity to fight back and there's strategy involved. What's the sport in hitting someone who is just standing there?Ā Ā Just go to a batting cage or hit golf balls at a driving range.Ā 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, it was absolutely coddled beyond belief. Like, I had never met anyone worse in that sense. I grew up pretty well off and always got the āspoiledā label, but at least I had the awareness of how fortunate that was. She always acted aggrieved like everyone around her owed her something. She was the kinda chick who told everyone how hard she had worked to earn everything and scolded everyone else for being lazy, while living in a house that was 100% bought and paid for by her grandmother. That mixed with a side of her dad never wanting anything to do with her (canāt blame him, her mom was a similar nightmare) and a topping of total delusion on what and who she was. An embarrassing amount of āIām a born and raised country girlā who had spent her entire life living in Arden Arcade, Sacramento. Closest she ever got to country was going into huge debt buying horses she didnāt have anywhere to house, because again, she grew up next door to a shopping mall. Ā Now that I think about it, I didnāt even really leave because of the abuse. I mainly left because she started trying to shift her frivolous debt on to me. Trying to forge my signature on the loan for an $80,000 Ford F-350 was the point where I bailed.Ā Ā Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: Sheās still half convinced āChris Creamerā is a porn site.)

Ridleylash Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Man, who actually thought anybody would be interested in a "sport" that's literally just smashing another dude in the face as hard as humanly possible? Part of the reason the professional sports we have take off is because of one of two reasons; They're fun to play and investing to watch as a spectator (your hockey, basketball, football, UFC, etc.) They're fun to play and a fun night out as a social thing if nothing else (stuff like baseball or cricket). This fulfills neither, it's literally just an attempt to make concussing people into a sport. No wonder the ratings for it :censored:ing suck.
