Thanks @AdamC. It's really no problem. Glad to hear about the packaging, though. As much as I liked the look, the less waste we can all make the better.

Writing a eulogy is no fucking fun. Luckily I used to write a bit so I got this penned down in 15'.
Still needed a god-damn beer though
(My dad is planning his funeral, it's gonna be a party. He asked my brother and sister to write a text. It'll be read by a person from the funeral service, so I snuck in some really shitty words like "Consiglieri" and "Cent'anni"… I will make sure I write my own eulogy so I can be a complete dick in that as well btw...)

I've been struggling with noise and being fed up with City life for quite a while already.
Now we learnt yesterday, that right beneath our flat there's going to be a 2 month construction site, where they will tear down a Train bride and rebuild it. 24 h / 7 days a week, without caring about noise. But they're offering us to move into a Hotel (as long as it's in my town and doesn't cost more than 90 bucks which basically is nothing here). Plus they're relocating the busroute through our tiny oneway street for this time. By the way, the Trains don't run and get replace by - busses. Great News when you have a 7 month old that has a hard time sleeping at night.

Managing a waitstaff is like running a daycare for “adults” who need therapy.

Glad to see this guy calling out ‘influencers’ who try to scam their way into free stuff. [emoji23]

We live in a world of our own creation where social media influencers are actually a thing. Us humans, on balance, are shite.
Social media
Reality tv
Celebrity cult
Sports sponsorship
Plastic waste
Mixed martial arts
Deforestation
Polar ice cap melting
Wearing jogging bottoms outside the houseThe sooner a pandemic wipes us out the better…except me, I'm brilliant me.

@UnTucked being a person that has trained in Wing Chun, and looking to restart again, I am really not a fan of the culture that has grown up around it.
It is a very different sport now to when the Gracie family blew the doors off. Every tattoo necked 20 something lad seems to think they are an MMA legend.
MMA doesn't train and teach respect (I've had friends train with a top British trainer, and switch to Muy Thai because of that issue). It is primitive, feral, and as a species we have the capability and intellect to evolve beyond that.
You did ask dude…

Fair answer!
There's definitely a dude/bro vibe amongst the fandom, but as a (casual) fan of the sport, I see it, at the professional level, as a meeting grounds for professionals from differing specialties. I can't name a single pro that predominantly trains in an "MMA gym", rather most specialize in BJJ, Greco Roman wrestling, or Muy Thai, with skills training in other disciplines.
As with most things, we have to take the good with the bad… and unfortunately, the bad is what typically stands out as the "example".
*Connor McGregor is truly an outlier with his behaviour... most in the sport don't condone it.
