Welp, my prediction was wrong. Heard it was over quick, reminding me why I don’t ever order fights anymore. Good for Khabib. Would be cool to see him in some kind of super fight at some point. Unexpected result. I thought it's going to go the distance or almost. Gaethjie landed a few punches that c...

And yes, the Russian-Mongol-Tatar-Osetian-and-what-not in me rejoices at the observed violence. And my canthus (both of them), epicanthus (and my cunt) are very animated right now.

Well, so much for the amazing striking skills. Khabib was on level with him, and the takedown leading to that exceptionally executed triangle - which Gaethjie clearly didn't see coming - that takedown was poetry.

Strangely enough, despite of Gaethjie being a champion wrestler his grappling in the octagon is less than impressive. There are more than a few youtube clips dissecting it. I think Khabib will go his traditional MO: take the back, maul him like a pitbull, submit. Gaethjie is a good puncher, and ther...

Khabib against Gaethjie. The rest of the main card is just as good.

I suppose the guy on the first pic identifies a a woman. I am not judging.

In my early days in South Africa I remember how hilarious it was when some black dude asked me, how do they treat black people in USSR/Russia. I said there are no black people, and this guy couldn't believe it. My question is: if white is the only race in a country, is this still a white supremacist...

I wanted to start a poll, but don't know how to do it.

Who will win the election this year? Trump or Biden? I reckon Trump will stay.

Speaking of BLM and political correctness. In the photo below the guy in Moscow is holding the poster advert for a tanning salon. The caption, besides the name and address of the solarium says: "I got my tan here".

We're completely fucked and will be for years. No easy way to say it. Couple of weeks ago I went to the 4WD store to buy some stuff for the upcoming camping trip. The store is located in shopping centre in one of the industrials areas of Sydney, Alexandria. As soon as you enter the shopping centre ...

Somehow the virus also found its way to an elderly couple who had been hunkered down at their secluded Cedar Lake cabin for months.

Must be that wedding anyway.

I spoke to my doctor this week. He's Chinese so I asked for his take on what's happening. I didn't know that he was practising over there in emergency units during SARS. He said COVID is definitely not as deadly, but with SARS, it never escaped because people died so quickly. He told me he'd show u...

Fuck Fat Cat for not joining.

I am not defending the mob and the way they entered the property. They broke the law, no discussion here. I am puzzled by the behaviour of MCCloskeys. I believe you should draw a firearm only if you intend to shoot someone. Not wave it around, shake it, "look what I've got if you don't leave me...

In South African context McCloskeys' behaviour is plain stupid, and in Johannesburg they would without a slightest doubt end up dead. Maybe taking a few neighbours with them. Sure the mob broke the gate and trespassed the sidewalk. But I am with Johno on this one - there is no directed aggression fr...

I will disagree with you on No.3. Dealing with uncertainty in trading, any instruments, requires a completely different mind set. You take a view (bullish or bearish) and take the appropriate position. You you are right - enjoy, if not you take a loss and move on. Inability to take a loss, in whiche...

So, Taleb was and is a notorious covid doomer. See photo of him wearing goggles and an N95 and another mask at same time while on a plane (yet still flying because why?). Has he disclosed his portfolio and investments in stocks that stood and stand to gain from downside risk from covid? https://mar...

Nafod, you missed the mark with the ostrich pic by 180 degrees. It's way easier to bury your head in the mainstream media than defend an opposing view.

Benny, stop calling him gopnik.

Красавец!

Thank God. I was afraid we are running out of scares. Everything is fine, the world is coming to an end, we are all going to die, there will be nothing left to our CHILDREN, their children and those children's children.

Everything is all right now.

Go figure. My hospital cancelled all elective surgery in March and set up COVID on call shifts. Intubation, ventilation, intensive care is right up in my field. So I would sleep in the hospital from 1900 till 700 and go home. I did get a phone call at night once, to help the paediatrics sort out a s...

So. What's happening with the climate threat to all life on Earth and beyond? I haven't seen dire climate predictions since the beginning of the year.
