    I think folks are connecting more with his message than his technical abilities? He was popping up on my YouTube feed for a while now. I believe he was on some podcasts as well. Probably contributed to his sudden popularity. I’m speculating but I think popular music has become too over produced and clean. People can relate to an “Everyman” that isn’t perfect but clearly states his very relatable message. Just shooting from the hip though.

    Better to have and not need than to need and not have. It’s a once a year pain in the ass. You can always give it up but it can be difficult to get. It may be made more difficult to get back...

    Better to have and not need than to need and not have. It’s a once a year pain in the ass. You can always give it up but it can be difficult to get. It may be made more difficult to get back because you gave it up in the past. You can never know the future. You may need it for some unforeseen circumstances.

    Not op but, I was a Reddit user for 15 years. It was always madness if you knew where to look. I once stumbled upon r/cutedeadgirls. It was accurate, cute being subjective I reckon.

    Edit. I didn’t hang around long but I saw that there was a lot of content. So that was worrisome.

    I was just reading about some of the First Gentleman geologists. Their work was groundbreaking.

    I stopped reading Blood Meridian several times before finishing. It’s just so much. Some of the best writing put to paper in my opinion. Even if the emotions are unpleasant, it’s amazingly powerful.

    The production isn’t that great considering their revenue. And the advertising is obnoxious. I’ve watched a few ONE events and really enjoyed them. The mixed rules and Muay Thai make for a fun...

    I knew there was a chance due to other fighters stating how hard Charles hits. I figured beneil would know that and just chain wrestle and try to keep top position. Charles just made it look easy....
