A quality meme starts with a good idea and a little effort. Ain't nobody got time for that.

This community is for having silly fun and should not be taken seriously.

I didn't even know it was happening and I hate all of you for informing me it happened at all.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Tbf I found out about it last night in a similar fashion lol

Shaq was literally at the fight though...

My eyes don't work when I'm sleeping mate.

Ew wtf is with the dumb ass watermark in the center

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it's fitting of the community

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

It's too much effort for a low effort community

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Idk I didn't watch the fight but I was hoping Mike Tyson (even now out of his prime) could've knocked out Jake Paul. Sad it didn't turn out that way.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I think this is probably how most people felt, and the powers that be did a great job of taking advantage of it. As a good friend put it- "They got the hate watch on lock"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wow. I didn't watch the fight because I knew he would take a dive, but I didn't want to believe it or see it. The (no longer) baddest man on earth just threw away his legacy and reputation for a few bucks...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

$20 million is one hell of an incentive to take a dive....

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's never enough for wealth hoarding addicts. With a little knowhow and elbow grease, someone can set themselves up for a comfortable life with a measly 50k and become self sustainable. He's addicted to the lifestyle of the rich and the famous.

Man declared bankruptcy in 2003 even though he was making like 30 mil per fight by then. Man just had to have his tigers, bugattis and mansions lol

Right? I wonder if this involves living in a van, down by the river.

I want a huge house, a car, a tree and the ability to feed my family.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Do your thing, dude. Our modest lifestyle doesn't infringe on your "huge house" aspirations.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Teaching yourself horticulture, buying a plot of land, renting the equipment to clear your living space and dig to install a septic tank, and either building or buying a tiny home, is less complicated and expensive than it sounds and the returns are for life, and your descendents'.

Most people think it's too hard to do, but this life is less difficult for me than modern city/suburb life. It's more natural to what the human experience is supposed to be. Free of slavery/perpetual debt. And I used to work 12hr days of hard labour, yet still paycheck to paycheck, never advancing in life, deeply miserable.

Hunting, fishing, trapping, and foraging are easily taught invaluable skills that should be first-hand knowledge.

It really all depends on what a person truly wants out of their life.

Edit: bonus, you can always sell your goods at markets for extra cash if you need it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think you can even buy a tiny home for $50k these days, let alone a big enough plot of land to support all of these activities, and also pay for the equipment to get the land ready.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

You can buy pre-fab tiny homes here for 15-20k these days. There's so many companies doing it now you can find affordable models that fit your needs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Teaching yourself ... buying a plot of land, renting the equipment ... install a septic tank, ... a tiny home, is less complicated and expensive than it sounds

Cool, got those numbers? Plus I want time investment required as well. You talk big, son.

"Lower your standards", got it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

With respect, I'm not going to argue with someone who doesn't want that life, but the numbers are leagues higher to live depending on purchasing everything, especially superficial purchases, and most people can't even afford a home within that system anymore, so they are forced to find other means of survival at this point.

You do you, so long as you're happy!

I must add that focusing your energy towards working for yourself is infinitely rewarding. All that time spent is time I enjoy.

All you have to do is have enough cash to not work while you learn to do all that labor including building codes designed to keep you from killing yourself. Every time I hear somebody advocate for off grid or tiny living, it sounds like a total grift based off the American fantasy of self sufficiency.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Every time I hear someone advocating against self-sufficiency and dependency on a fascist system, the alarm bells go off.

It seems alien to most because we are indoctrinated to fear individualism and anything that deviates from the status quo, and take "comfort" in the deeply corrupt system we are all forced to participate in.

Like I said in another comment, at this point people are forced to do this purely out of survival, because living within the system is just not possible anymore. It's much easier to understand and empathize if you've experienced poverty and discrimination.

All you have to do is have enough cash to not work while you learn to do all that labor including building codes designed to keep you from killing yourself.

That's why I also suggested purchasing pre-fab. Hell, you could buy a trailer or even a shipping container, or whatever is within your means.

Change is hard for the average person, and most will resist it.

Are you serious? The US jerks itself off with bootstraps and stories of self made millionaires.

Well, I think I know how seriously to take you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

The US jerks itself off with bootstraps and stories of self made millionaires.

You mean trust-fund babies who started off with a "small" loan? Stories are just that. I don't know why you think that adds any weight to your point or how it affects mine...

Do your thing, dude. Whatever makes you happy.

I don't think it was a dive as much as it was that he is a 58 year old man with knee problems fighting a trained 27 year old in their prime.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

A 58 year old silverback gorilla with a team of doctors pumping him full of roids and other performance enhancers. He had the chance to show the world he's still a beast, but he took the the paycheck to promote JP instead.

JP never faced a proper opponent in a proper fight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

A 27 year old who has never fought a boxer prospect in his own weight and picks fights with MMA fighters who can only throw punches or retirees. In a fight that's almost always a publicity fight.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Boxing is all about cardio. A 58 year old vs a 27 year old when they both train is always going to that 27 year old. Mike Tyson going the distance is still impressive as hell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Though Tyson most likely has quadruple the testosterone of a healthy 27 year old man coursing through his system, on top of whatever other performance enhancers lol

He did make the bookies quite happy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Tyson has an huge ego, at least he did when he was still professional. He was getting smacked by childish moves me and my brothers would've used. It probably hurts a bit even with the 20 million he got.

I said I would stick around until it buffered one more time. Ended up going to bed before the fight started. Fight was lost by 0KB.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I don't get it, did people really think Paul would lose?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I don't get it, did people really ~~think~~ hope Paul would lose?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

If you were naive and basing your evaluation on talent: yes.

If you were canny to how the shell game works: 😂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

did people really think

Sadly no

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't even know who this Paul guy is, but people seem to really dislike him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Remember the YouTuber who showed the bodies of men who had died by suicide hanging from trees? This is his brother. Trash people who are good at making people hate them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thankfully, no.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Genuinely not sure who it was even for.

If you don't like boxing, you weren't going to enjoy it.

For people who pretend they like boxing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It was for all the people talking about it all the time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

people who had no idea what was happening until they woke up this morning.

Fuck you lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I saw some really good fights that night. Went to an armored MMA event. Did not disappoint.
