If you’re doing full contact sparring for years and years I imagine the cumulative damage could be a problem. I limit myself to friendly sparring and gruesome pad work for that exact reason.
You can get very far with just that, I wouldn’t put the cart before the horse on this one.

I don’t currently attend a dedicated boxing gym; my gym has heavy bags of different styles for free use. I do work with a personal trainer once a week for working on some technical stuff / sparring but the other 2-3 times I’m in there I’m largely doing self directed drilling.
Then again I’ve been boxing off and on for like 15 years at this point, so I’m very familiar with all the basics.
If your gym has heavy bags and personal trainers night be worth looking into.

I cannot recommend boxing enough. Excellent sport that’s relatively easy to get into and you can do a lot of training drills by yourself with the help of some tutorials.
It’s exceptionally good for your brain as well; there’s whole layers of strategy and meta strategy involved.
It’s a natural accompaniment to chess for a reason.

Isn’t the “beater” thing also a reference to “A Streetcar named Desire” where Marlon brando’s character screams “stelllla!” while wearing a tank top undershirt? (AKA, a wife beater.)

My most commonly chosen option for posts is “neutral”; I really only bust out the “bad” option when something didn’t technically break rules but is really shitty for whatever reason. Usually poor writing and poor logic combined, and also exceptionally annoying.

And most importantly, if there wasn’t overwhelming video evidence of it being a near picture perfect case of self defense, he would have been 100% railroaded into prison for being who he was.

Baizou is an all timer as far as I’m concerned. It’s been like ten years since I first heard the term and it’s basically a perfect slur. No notes.

Maybe it’s a testament to how influential he is but I only see one.
I’m curious, how many do you see?

“The Perfect is the Enemy of The Good” continues to be evergreen, one of the greatest aphorisms ever penned.
“Always Chimp / Trust the Plan.” Is probably top ten political memes of the year for a similar reason; small victories make larger victories easier. Yet the large victories are essential to preserve the American nation. Nothing wins like winning, when I see the Trump administration “just doing things” I’m happy, but not content. An important distinction.

Iran is controlled by an implacable enemy regime and has millions of fanatical Muslims amongst its population.
That’s more than enough justification to cut them off. Vetting these people isn’t worth the headache.
Why are Americans supposed to be obligated to import people that aren’t wanted here at all?
I’m quite certain if you asked your average American if they wanted a family from Iran to move next door to them the vast majority would say no.
The American people, the voting public, own America and don’t have to justify who they want here or don’t want here to anyone except to other Americans.
I will be forever grateful for the Trump administration and the dissident right for moving the Overton window on this, it’s absolutely absurd.

As someone who mostly consumes and produces content here on quick little breaks from work while in the field, I must say it’s had an impact on me being here.

The one that’s always passed over who was just as influential as Yarvin in the beginning is Nick Land, and specifically his blog Xenosystems (which is now available in book form on passage press.)
That’s the thing that really convinced me; before I read that I was more of a reluctant paleo-libertarian. It’s very arcane but ironically if you’re a high systemizing blue tribe type it might be more legible than even Yarvin.
He’s a former Marxist so he’s much more haute academic that some of the punters you get on X; no offense to them, I’m just as much a schlub compared to Nick Land as the most low rent dissident rightist.
Interestingly enough I found Scott Alexander sort of backwards from Nick Land; Land brought me to Moldbug who was critiqued by Scott. So I’m in this forum mostly because of Nick Land.
Also bussin is passé at this point as well
If I had to take a guess it’s been about 67 weeks since it passed from typical zoomerspeak

In the year of our lord 2025, you’re either a spiritual boomer or a spiritual zoomer. No in between. Call it.

As someone whom is aware of but has never seen any of the things you’ve referenced this comment is a goddamn roller coaster of emotion.
Are you takin the piss or are you deadass?
James spader’s character turns out to be a woman? This reads like a /pol/ parody of Yellowstone. I’m legitimately frightened to know the answer to this.

This is the motte & Bailey on display; as far as I can tell people like Robinson & Gaines are well within the Lizardman constant on the right.
People shrink or expand the circle that includes “Nazi” at will to defend their argument, I’ve seen it right here in this discussion.
Therefore
”Nazis aren't real in 2025. You need to more precisely define what you mean. A guy waving a Soviet flag in 2025 isn't a Bolshevik, he's a progressive.”
Is correct.
I’m also super over this. It’s like these people have never heard of a self fulfilling prophecy; if you keep telling people that wanting to have a functioning society is fascism, do you think that will just scare people away forever?
Ironically I get huge “hitler in the bunker / battle of Berlin” vibes from these increasingly shrill and desperate progressives who keep spamming the “hitler” button hoping to score a critical hit. Maybe with a touch of Baghdad Bob.
Increasingly the only people listening are just the most thoroughly propagandized. The story of multiple institutions desperately vying for the support of a shrinking and increasingly socially isolated group of people is just the story of progressives in The Long Current Year.
It’s also extra funny because
1.) I’m not white
2.) I’m very pro Israel
3.) I’m not even remotely anti-Semitic
4.) I’m married to a non white immigrant with non white children
5.) I live and work in a very high percentage immigrant community
And I’m not even the only person who I know personally that meets this description that I know of that is entirely over this shit. On paper someone like me would have sympathy for the supposed “anti-Nazi” side but at this point I wouldn’t piss on a progressive if they were on fire.
Because I firmly believe this dominant progressive narrative which superficially is ‘on my side’ is deeply toxic and extremely bad for everyone. I don’t want to live in South Africa, and I don’t want my children to live there either, but if the supposed “anti-fascist” forces prevail that’s increasingly what looks like would happen.
Extremely true. I only do friendly sparring and killer pad work at this point for that reason. I do Thai boxing so tournaments are too hardcore for me, but I’ve been in a handful of somewhat serious fights in my life so I don’t feel the need to prove myself on that regard. I’m familiar enough with real violence not to be unduly frightened by it, and also not to relish in it either.
have like 6-7 hobbies that I cycle through periodically as an adult, Thai boxing is probably the biggest one other than mountain biking. In this instance I’m glad I never got so into it that I became super competitive and obsessed with it. I think being a modest practitioner of a martial art is truly one of the healthiest and most positive things possible.
