I don't like any reality where the Japanese death forest YouTuber who decided to play boxer, is anything resembling a voice of reason

BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world · 64 pts · 197d (1 reply)

jake paul is the boxer, logan went to wwe

9point6@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 197d

Didn't he do boxing for a bit first? Ngl I don't really keep up with him

zout@fedia.io · 38 pts · 197d

They're not, everything they do is calculated and PR driven. If they disagree openly on Twitter like this, it's with the purpose to generate publicity to get the audience where they can shill their next scam.

yermaw@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 197d

Reason is in big fucking trouble.

SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org · 3 pts · 197d

Those aren't the same. Death forest is the older one who does WWE, the younger one is the boxer and whose "merch is selling like a god church"

We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.

Railing5132@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 197d (3 replies)

The oft-forgotten full phrase is: "a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still wouldn't use it to tell time."

Similarly, often in reference to corrupt cops or politicians: "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch."

Aren't most of those "full phrases" made up inventions from Tumblr?

Railing5132@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 193d (1 reply)

Well, those two in particular were used heavily by my elders growing up in the 70s, so it predates the web by a little bit.

KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 193d

Well I guess I was mistaken in this case, I've just heard a lot of fake versions of these so I assumed this was the same

pulsey@feddit.org · 9 pts · 197d

In Germany we say, that even a blind chicken will find a grain sometimes.

can@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 197d

I refuse to let that expression go to the wayside.

THIS guy?

Yeah no. His opinion doesn't matter.

can@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 197d (2 replies)

Assuming that's the one with the correct take: yes it does matter, him going out there and making sure his opposing opinion is know is a good thing. It doesn't directly matter to us over here, but he has a large audience and broadly that is a good thing for us.

benderbeerman@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 197d (1 reply)

That one is Jake, he's the one in the op at the bottom, with the intolerant opinion. He's playing a heel character here.

The other is Logan, with the message of tolerance, who is playing a face.

Neither of them is being genuine, they are just looking for attention. Both of them.

can@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 197d

At this point I'm willing to take the one sharing a tolerant opinion.

Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus · 4 pts · 197d

shame he didn't break his fingers in addition to his jaw.

venusaur@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 197d

Too many hits to the head and already had an intelligence deficit

Aeri@lemmy.world · 45 pts · 197d (8 replies)

It's so crazy that we can come to the same conclusion and only one of us has a half decent reason.

You don't want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because you're a racist scumbag, I don't want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because they have enacted an oligarchy. We are not the same.

With no subtext whatsoever I agree with the idea of "make America great again", however I feel like the people who proudly spout that slogan would heavily disagree with the way that I would go about it. Hint: it would involve a volcano.

Yellowstone caldera... thing

Not a thing, apparently. All the blowing about yellowstone blowing is done by people with a single line or two from the scientists' work, and never by the scientists themselves.

Can you please keep this shit within your own country? The Yellowstone caldera would cause a major global disaster, if it broke out.

Why settle for being great when you could be Amazing. Being "great again" feels like a step back.

They've mastered the art of getting people to pay attention to them. Neither of them give a single fuck about the super bowl halftime show

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 196d

Not totally true. They appreciate the Super Bowl giving them a vehicle to continue to gain attention for a week.

Imo that's why Bad Bunny's show was great. He never addressed politics directly. He just made his culture look fun.

So now every time someone tries to rope in politics, you can just look at it on it's face and see a good show that makes you happy if you're open minded. So everyone who criticizes it has to work really hard to make it sound bad.

Not to totally detract from the point of what you're saying, which is totally correct, but... All of everything seems to keep stepping over that it's not just influential on American music, but it is American music. That they keep framing parts of our culture as somehow not shows that it's just racism.

Puerto Rico has been part of the US longer than Oklahoma, new Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, or Hawaii. Puerto Rican culture is more American than whatever weird nonsense they have in Oklahoma.

Mike Tyson wasn't one of the subjects of this post tho...??

Magnum@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 196d (4 replies)

Neither was, why you would give a fuck? I don't give a fuck either, but I am damned to live on this planet and timeline so sadly I have heard those names before. And no, I am not 20-something.

Gas price fixing

Those guys have had fake internet beef for years. They thrive on being controversial to each other. It is what made them famous in the first place.

I suspect this is yet an other aspect of this beef and they are only dong it for clout.

Stop giving these people the attention they are fishing for.

You guys posting there tweets are part of the problem.

Bongles@lemmy.zip · 15 pts · 197d

I cannot believe that even once, I agree with suicide forest, crypto bro con artist, rug pulling Logan Paul. Even if this is just for attention, like some suggest, it's at least better to have someone wildly popular with younger people (somehow) to be saying this.

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 197d

He's a way to tell them apart...
One is idiotically stupid, and the other is stupidly idiotic.

I hope that helps.

Are they related to Aaron Paul?

I don't think that treasure is linked to the turd brothers. Paul isn't even his original surname.

Dude is in a relationship with a girl from Netherlands

Lumidaub@feddit.org · 9 pts · 197d (17 replies)

Which dude and why is that important?

vodka@feddit.org · 7 pts · 197d

Jake is the one with the Dutch girlfriend (she is also a top tier Olympic athlete)

As for why it's important? I guess they're trying to comment on an American with a foreign gf being a racist or something

I think we're on the same page but I still don't understand the relevance.

orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 197d (6 replies)

Because MAGA is against non-Americans. They don't want foreigners here, and yet homeboy is dating a someone from the Netherlands.

Okay, I still don't know which homeboy/dude but I suppose I can take an educated guess.

I unfortunately looked this up to see if its true. They both have a place in Puerto Rico
