  • MMA has an interesting trajectory where people actually didn’t know which style would win at first. Dudes in gis would actually fight some dude in kickboxing gear. Look up some old MMA fights and you’ll see the fights were usually awkward and bad.

    Someone else called out in this thread that the rules of MMA influence what wins. I think that makes sense. They can’t just immediately kick each other in the balls.

    I say join a gym and try out a few fights just so you know what it feels like to get punched in the face, and then do like everyone else says and get good at cardio. If you have asthma carry concealed I guess.

    WASHINGTON — The Senate voted 46-48 Monday to block a bill pushed by Democrats to codify abortion rights into federal law ahead of an expected Supreme Court decision that could limit access to the procedure.

    The legislation, the Women’s Health Protection Act, failed to garner the needed 60 votes to overcome a filibuster and would have fallen short of the 50 votes needed for passage after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., joined Republicans in opposition.

    The president doesn’t make or enact the laws. The president is not the big daddy (or mommy) CEO of America. As long as Rekucklicans are willing to get up and do a long talk – spoilers, they always will be – they can essentially force a bill into a 60 vote major to pass instead of a simple 50 (plus the VP) majority to pass.

    Doesn’t help that there’s a senator whose dick is caught in mouse trap baited with a lump of coal.

    Don’t take this the wrong way. Whenever I see this question I assume the asker is ignorant or willfully obscuring the facts with a leading question.
