@YuriFrozen People have such weird biases around risk, like the north cascades could reach its carrying capacity for grizzly bears and the most dangerous part of your hike would still be the drive to the trailhead
@agraybee The abject failure of liberalism to provide economic stability much less upward mobility was always going to produce a generation nostalgic for a mostly imagined prosperous past with all the regressive social views that entails
@fyridk Yeah cause infinity isnt a real thing and so when you try to use it practically you get obviously nonsensical results. people are like what if the 3s went on forever what then? and well they won't ever do that so it cant possibly matter
I was talking to my dad last night, who used to be pretty conservative but is honestly just a run of the mill NPR liberal at this point, and he was like remember when those guys tried to assassinate Trump? If they'd done it none of this would have happened right?

@lthomasnews I have to think that the shit pay is part of it, these women know that their only chance to make real money is to get title fights and so once they get into the top 5 they just get really cautious, more scared of messing up than they are motivated to win decisively
@lthomasnews Part of me wants to write it off as misogyny and that's obviously part of it for plenty of these guys but there's just been so many "high level" w's fights in the last couple years that haven't paid off... just plain boring matches where neither woman is willing to take a chance
