Hi There Comrades!

Hey Folks! I’m around again. Took a look through the threads.

Man Wrabbit, Doc, and Osiris were totally having a normal one for like a year huh?

Nice dumbbells Phrost. You were right about Monkey Man, I’ve watched it like 5 times. Really Good. Also Fall Guy made me finally like Ryan Gosling.

Bummed Doc got banned, hopefully whatever he did wasn’t too crazy. I disagreed with the guy on like, everything, and I hated the tone he tends to post in, but he also could be very kind and generous with those in need. I hope he’s being more of that guy and less of the pompous poster whatever he’s doing.

Heard about Joe some time ago. Sad he’s gone, glad I could play a small part in reuniting him with an old friend before the time came. Another guy who I had so few things in common with, but who was a standup guy when called upon in my experience.

Sup Mr. Palmer, if you’re still around. Thanks for being there before. Get that bread and don’t be dead (:

Hey SirC, hope you’re doing good. You were wrong about her still loving me, but maybe I needed to hear that at the time. I’m not on FB anymore to really see, but I hope that kid is still looking super happy and healthy. Thanks for being there for me too.

Sub around? I know the Discord and you was having some discord. Hope you’re well my guy, it’s funny how similar of a path so many of us walk when we get there from such different places.

BFM? Omega? Hi if you guys are around lol. I tell everyone who asks where to go in SoCal that Valhalla is a must-go.

Holy Moment ever come back, or did he grow up on us? Remember when I drove to New Jersey and wrestled him on the beach? Dude had a good Youtube channel too, other people are getting way bigger numbers covering topics that HM did yeeeears ago.

Devil die yet? Got dancing shoes when the time comes.

Everybody else? English fight promoter whom name I cannot remember? Thanks for being willing to set me up to fight that guy for talking shit on the internet a few years back. Hope y’all are doing big things!

Any how, it’s me, still me. Your friendly neighborhood Radical Dadical, checking in. Still training, but mainly kickboxing right now, my knees are kind of shit when it comes to any standup grappling and it makes me sad lol. Trying to start a middle-aged (is there any other kind now) punk band with my roommates. Biggest kid is starting high school, might be moving in with me to do it, which is super exciting. Hopefully I can be good enough at the like, bookkeeping side of things like her mom is. Like I am so excited for the basics but kid has like 4 medications and 3 doctors to keep track of, and my coping strategies for ADHD are becoming less effective as I age lmao.

Anyway, Hi There!

I’m gonna block quote assault this entire thread in a hot second, after I take my DayQuil.

I’m a little feverish at the moment…finally caught the Vid (86-1).

Ah feel better buddy. I caught that shit while I was staying in my van and it suuuucked.

For some reason, Osiris believes he has the inside scoop on J6, but unfortunately, it was scoop of poop taken from ultra right wing poopbuckets. I used to think he was doing the Poe’s Law troll routine for a gag, but once he started accusing me of being “worse than a Nazi”…and a “glown***er”…bye Felicia, you are so ghosted.

Gonzo made a lot of serious accusations against me, including that I dox people, bully children, and am a martial arts fraud. Tried so hard to make friends with him, but he’s just an asshole to so many people it was stupid of me to believe I could buddy up with him.

So I’ve had it with him for quite some time. He can go shit in a hat and sail it off the edge of the ocean.

And to think, both of these guys think I should apologize to them.

Monkey Man was excellent, but Ryan Gosling’s best role ever is still Just Ken.

He lost his sense of humor at some point, probably the day he registered under his real name, complete with PhD, and then got surprised when everyone on Bullshido suddenly Google’d him.

He was a gem, he and I connected a bit offline when my mom died last year. I’ll never eat a crayon again. I was never worthy, but I was almost a Marine, and lots of my best friends are, and Joe was one.

MIA, eating crayons somewhere.

MIA, secretly plotting world domination.

MIA. Bought a home, keeping his hands busy.

MIA. I have my suspicions on where he’s at.

I could be wrong, stylometry is not an exact science.

MIA, laughing at the Four Winds.

KIA.

jk, MIA. And still not me, although I always thought that was funny. Two David Lynch fans from Jersey.

To this date, I don’t think anybody gets the Snoopy videos with creepy music but me.

Possibly a serial killer. Maybe you just got lucky.

He’s still in my belly. Along with all the Kiwi Farms trolls.

Wow, I remember that. I also remember who shit all over that idea…

ADHD gets worse as you age, but there are upsides. My calf muscles are massive from all the restless leg and I probably burn about 1kC a day just pacing.

It’s important to let all the energy out you can, when you can. It can become really destructive when internalized.

Kung fu helps. Probably the only reason I’m alive today.

My youngest, also ADHD, finally took up boxing yesterday. Now he won’t stop whining about being sore. I told him he loses the car keys every time he does.

I’m a tough dad.

Oh hey.

I banned Devil for transphobic posts IIRC. Was a whole meltdown over rules we put in place to keep this place from being a haven for the anti-trans moral panic and bigotry. Kind of a bloodbath to be honest.

No regrets though. Would rather have 10 boring people on here than 100,000 nazi shitheads.

Welcome back. It’s a lot quieter around here than in the before times. I think all the high points have been mentioned for the OGs. It was rather sad to see the roads some went down, but so it goes I guess.

Have you considered unbanning them now the rules have been established?

or even relaxing the rules on debating LGBTQ issues if kept respectful?

Ill add that I am not speaking specifically about Devil he probably should have been banned dozens of times for all sorts of over the line shit .

That’s dope. I have no idea what his real life persona is but on the forums he kinda just said the most villainous thing possible in any given situation lol.

Would, but when the rules were laid down the people in question did everything they could to circumvent, bypass, or ignore the intent of said rules, so I don’t have a lot of confidence that unbanning them would go any differently.

And with regards to other bans, given that there was a lot of simultaneous behind the scenes/back channel whisper fuckery going on, on the part of certain individuals, there’s no real incentive to go back to that for the sake of having more active posters.

A community is a delicate thing, especially when big egos are involved. It’s an uncomfortable reality that certain personalities are just never going to be compatible with certain communities. The community we have here now, while smaller than it was last year, is immeasurably better by the standards we’ve set for it.

To be honest, some of Devils’ shit about people like myself always seemed like it would go that way. I blocked him a while ago and never thought he’d get banned unless he went overboard, so whatever it was I’m glad I didn’t have to read that. See too much stuff like that in my day to day.

I dont think LGBTQ issues are much of a ‘debate’ personally, and seldom do these ‘debates’ ever manifest as debates.

As someone who has had great relationships with 99.8% of the Bullshido community on and off site, but somehow attracted the .02% worst consistently, I can happily say good job, to myself.

As soon as “gay marriage” was settled*, the “debates” turned to transsexuals are grooming and creeping on kids.

Devil, Osiris, and Gonzo are all textbook bigots.

*Except according to Justice Ruckus.

I think there are still some aspects society need to figure out, but it’s another religious topic so not easy to have objective conversations in a constructive way. Religious debates aren’t interesting, the intent is not to have an interesting discussion, but to convince the other they are wrong. I believe right and wrong are flexible concepts because the bulk of human ethics / morals are societal constructs, certain base ethics are probably rooted in biology and evolution, but a very large portion are simply time and place.

Grouped together I completely agree.

It is individual pieces of policy and legislation that are debatable and I do accept that some people are simply incapable of doing that.

This was once a fertile ground in which to pressure test ideas.

Where lines are drawn within policy and what trade offs are acceptable and under what circumstances.

These are important things to hash out and its necessary to have a variety of opinions when doing so.

yeah, and how do you ‘respectfully’ decide ‘Im going to make a what if that an entire demographic are exclusively and also the only risk of sexually assaulting people in bathrooms/refuges’ is going to be ‘respectful?’

It’s ignorant right winger conservatives who will act like they can somehow decide this is ‘respectfully’ said about the party they talk about without calling it what it is, transparent bigotry.

If it would be immoral to say this about a racial group, then it’s a morally reprehensible stance to have on any group, no matter what Texas sharpshooter fallacy you try to use to sneak under the radar.
