🚨 Sean Strickland says that he’s BANNED from the UFC White House event because he “made fun of Israel and Epstein” and says Trump is owned by Netanyahu:
🗣️ STRICKLAND: “UFC at the White House with [Netenyahu] in the audience. Straight 🇮🇱 slop.”
🗣️ FAN: Why are you banned?
🗣️ STRICKLAND: “I made fun of Israel and Epstein”
“The only male American champ banned at the White House because I said Trump is owned by [Netanyahu]... thats not public opinion it’s fact.”
@Pirat_Nation They’re right though, killing the fauna is outside of the spirit of the game, killing things like the reaper often ruins the feel of risk when encountering those creatures in later gameplay.
@TrickVAL@iiKlemm At your maximum, no, but I’m arguing that the way you practice mechanics and the baseline provided by said training is a more important factor than your mental state in a given moment as far as pure mechanical performance is concerned
@TrickVAL@iiKlemm In that case, distraction might impede your ability to put yourself in situations where your mechanics can be *used* effectively, but not so much your ability to execute those mechanics themselves.
@TrickVAL@iiKlemm Obviously, focus plays a huge part in training your mechanics to a certain baseline, but once you’ve automated those mental processes to a high level, the same focus is not required for execution.
@TrickVAL@iiKlemm You don’t have to be in a positive mental state to not second guess your decisions, you just have to logically understand that hesitation is worse than making a poor decision and objectively evaluate the situation after the fact.
@blankcardboard@Neutrallens65 That’s a hilarious mental image but I don’t think the tail is quite long enough for that and I’d assume the rigidity required to stand on it would prevent it from wrapping like a constrictor
notice the hare counterstrafes just before the shot. this is what we call "timed dodge"; not just doing a random AD pattern, but predict when they will shoot and juke at that exact moment
after that, the hare switches up its macro pattern (from longstrafe with juke to short strafes)
the hare, having a mastery of both micro and macro dodge mixups, is almost certainly a 1v1er
Scientists made fish trip balls with magic mushrooms.
It helped the fish with anger management.
The research was done on a mangrove rivulus, a small Caribbean fish that is famously highly aggressive and territorial. If a stranger fish gets put into a mangrove rivulus's tank, it gets mad and will dart and lunge to chase the new fish out.
Psilocybin (the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms) was added which the fish absorbed through the gills and skin.
It chilled the fish out.
> moved around 80-100 fewer seconds during the trial
> 2 to 3 fewer angry lunges at the stranger fish
Not all aggression was turned off, but the explosive attacks dropped.
A lot of studies show mushrooms help with sadness and fear in mice and humans. Aggression has been understudied in modern psychedelic research, especially in social settings.
Why it matters.
A fish brain is old in evolutionary terms. Fish and mammals split off from each other something like 400 million years ago. If psilocybin can dial down aggression in a fish brain, the wiring for aggression has probably been conserved across that distance. The same brake could exist in humans.
🚨 Khamzat Chimaev went on stories to explain why he was friendly with Sean Strickland despite all of the trash talk that was said:
"And regarding that guy — he said a lot of unnecessary things. People were asking why I shook his hand and why I put the belt on him afterward. We don’t have the habit of talking or fighting after a loss. If we fight, we fight inside the cage, and we fought as best as we could. What Allah has decided is no longer in our control.
That guy lowered his head and asked for forgiveness. If a person asks for forgiveness, I can forgive him. I’m not an oppressor so that I would refuse to forgive.”
