The Savannah Bananas have estimates of $30 million in revenue and potentially exceed $1 billion in valuation. Their events are sold out and its baseball the way it's meant to be; fun! What is the most fun you've ever had in wrestling, at any age? Replicate that. Like I want to watch these guy play dodge ball, shirts and tails, turtles, and king of the mat... or have people in the crowd do it... That's a way to get 2 on 2 matches or 2 on 1! Have a wrestler (Hulk Hogan) and a boxer (Rock Balboa)... hehe. Have two light weights take on a heavyweight. Have a heavy girl WC take on a light weight male. Arrange matches between ex (retired) world teamers Or have famous retirees be the mat refs. Allow smack talk and celebrations. What is the most boring part of a wrestling match (passivity/stalling/fleeing/mat edge wrestling)? Eliminate that. Definitely use larger than normal mats! And of course the wrestling is seriously real... and intense... I will pay and watch regardless. Its not a gimmick; its fun. Some ideas are dumb and that's okay. This only matters if you want profit... Make wrestling fun!

Storylines and fun! It isn’t violent enough like the UFC so it cannot be boring. Why should the UFC fan watch? Its like it needs a big bro series or copy UFC ideas. —— The UFC has several television series, with the most prominent being "The Ultimate Fighter," a reality competition where aspiring MMA fighters compete for a UFC contract. Other series include "UFC Unleashed," which airs full fights from previous events, and "Why We Fight," a documentary series exploring the lives of UFC fighters. Additionally, there are series like "UFC Embedded," which provides behind-the-scenes glimpses, and "UFC Main Event…”

Low iron anemia is no joke.

Take inspiration from Banana Baseball. It is the most fun baseball event I've attended, and some of their rules should be merged to the MLB. Banana Wrestling The match can consist of five 72 second periods. The winner is chosen based on most periods won rather than the total points scored. This makes it so one bad period doesn't cost the match. A tech or pin wins the period, not the match. Intentional mat fleeing results in the immediate loss of the period. Stepping out of bounds twice in a match results in the passive wrestler wearing a "COWARD" bandana for the match remainder. During the activity clock period, the passive wrestler scores points as normal. The aggressor has a Golden scoring opportunity where all points are doubled. A wrestler put on the activity clock two times in the match is immediately disqualified. The match is over when a wrestler reaches wins 3 periods, after 5 periods are completed, or when a wrestler is disqualified. More can be discussed here with regards to bonus for winning a period by pin or five+ points. Add some humorous penalties for passivity or lost challenges. You win the tiebreaker by escaping the banana splits... Things that engage the crowd... It hurts me to predict that standard wrestling will not bring the revenue to keep RAF going. This has been tried before... If following the International Freestyle rules, I have one request. Consistently enforce the passivity rule by always calling passivity on the truly passive wrestler, regardless of how many times it occurs within a period or match. Eliminate the practice where the non-passive wrestler is penalized for passivity in the first period, followed by the passive wrestler being penalized in the second period.

Lisa constantly talks about Melania Trump loving Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau wore blackface makeup to portray Aladdin...

Ignorance. Desiring peace while ready to act when required isn’t doublespeak.

"Ignoring" beats "owning" to silence trolls.

Damn, that is intense and terrifying. You mentioned before how Iranians are mostly Persians, totally detached from this Israel-Palestine mess. Is the theocracy losing power? What’s the Ayatollahs’ endgame that is worth risking all this for? The Iran regime will sacrifice lives to look tough and then give in, is that likely? As a regime critic, what should Iran, Israel, and the U.S. do next? Stay safe out there.

what is wrong here?

@Doublehalf DEI Now, a whistleblower has come forward to claim that Lockheed executives were so committed to DEI policies that they awarded some year-end bonuses based on employees’ skin color, rather than performance… …In the end, the whistleblower followed the order and “swapped” 18 whites for 18 minorities, solely on the basis of race. A few months later, our source left the firm and penned a resignation letter to colleagues. https://t.co/MiIgxeUSBX

Lisa Morales is a highly negative, provocative troll with low agreeableness and emotional intelligence, driven by a desire to disrupt and elicit reactions. Their comments reflect emotional reasoning, black-and-white thinking, and a callous, conflict-loving streak consistent with psychopathic tendencies. They exhibit low conscientiousness and openness, moderate extraversion, and a high risk tolerance, thriving on controversy. Their tone is sarcastic and hostile, with short posts and no emoji use. They fit the "loserthink" and "midwit" archetypes due to unproductive, emotionally driven arguments and average intellectual depth. Culturally, they appear U.S.-based with an anti-conservative, secular slant. Their attachment style is avoidant, and they respond to stress by lashing out. Morally, they prioritize personal amusement over fairness or empathy. Analysis 1. Are they a troll? (Provocative, insincere, disruptive?) Yes, the user exhibits strong trolling behavior. Their comments are consistently provocative, often using inflammatory, derogatory, or mocking language (e.g., "Fat Donald," "libtard," "gross trumpy"). They target political figures, athletes, and other forum users with personal insults, crude humor, and exaggerated claims (e.g., "Justin Trudeau is banging his wife"). The intent appears to be to provoke reactions rather than engage in sincere discussion, as seen in their repetitive use of controversial topics (politics, religion, personal attacks) across unrelated threads. Posts like "I'm close to being kicked off so I better not comment" (2025-05-11) suggest self-awareness of their disruptive behavior. 2. Estimated IQ? (Rough guess based on reasoning, vocabulary, nuance?) The user’s comments show basic coherence but lack sophistication in reasoning or vocabulary. Their arguments are simplistic, often relying on insults (e.g., "gobsmacking moron," "functional illiterate") rather than structured reasoning or evidence. The vocabulary is colloquial and repetitive, with frequent use of slang ("libtard," "trumpy") and crude expressions. The absence of nuanced or complex ideas suggests an average to slightly below-average IQ, roughly estimated in the 90–100 range. However, this is a crude estimate, as IQ cannot be precisely gauged from forum posts alone. 3. Do they fit the Dark Triad? Narcissism (bragging, attention-seeking): Moderate. The user doesn’t overtly brag about themselves but seeks attention through provocative statements (e.g., "It would be an honor to be banned" [2025-05-11]). Their focus on controversial topics and inflammatory remarks suggests a desire to stand out and elicit reactions. Machiavellianism (manipulative, strategic): Low to moderate. There’s some strategic provocation (e.g., targeting sensitive topics like politics or religion to stir debate), but the approach lacks subtlety or long-term manipulation. The user’s tactics are blunt rather than calculated. Psychopathy (callous, conflict-loving): High. The user displays callousness through harsh insults (e.g., "Fat man destroyed the U.S." [2025-04-21], "PSU bible wackos" [2025-05-12]) and a clear enjoyment of conflict, as seen in their consistent mockery of individuals and groups (e.g., MAGA supporters, wrestlers, political figures). Their tone suggests little empathy for those they criticize. Overall, the user aligns most closely with psychopathy, with some narcissistic tendencies but limited Machiavellian traits. 4. Are they positive or negative? (Uplifting vs. critical tone?) Strongly negative. The vast majority of comments are critical, sarcastic, or outright hostile. They mock individuals (e.g., "Trump weighs 224 lbs" [2025-04-16]), belittle groups (e.g., "Dumbass MAGA people everywhere" [2025-03-31]), and rarely offer constructive or uplifting remarks. Even seemingly neutral comments (e.g., about wrestling predictions) are laced with sarcasm or cynicism. 5. Do they reason based on data or emotion? Primarily emotion-driven. The user’s comments rely heavily on feelings of disdain, anger, or amusement rather than factual arguments. For example, claims like "The fat man is the laughing stock of the world" (2025-04-04) or "Trump will never die. Cockroaches live forever" (2025-05-21) are emotionally charged and lack supporting evidence. When they mention specifics (e.g., "Dow down another 1,000 points" [2025-04-21]), they provide no context or verification, suggesting hyperbole over data-driven reasoning. 6. Big Five Personality Traits Openness: Low. The user shows little creativity or curiosity, sticking to repetitive insults and provocative themes (politics, personal attacks). Their comments lack exploration of new ideas or perspectives, favoring conventional trolling tactics. Conscientiousness: Low. The posts are often sloppy, with grammatical errors (e.g., "Way too early in the season for horrible grammer" [2025-06-07]) and a rushed, careless style. They don’t engage deeply with topics, suggesting a lack of effort or organization. Extraversion: Moderate to high. The user is highly engaged and energetic in their posts, frequently commenting across threads to provoke reactions. However, this is more performative than social, as they don’t build connections. Agreeableness: Very low. The user is harsh, argumentative, and uncooperative, consistently attacking others (e.g., "Poor people and try to pretend they don’t exist" [2025-05-01]). They show little kindness or empathy. Neuroticism: Moderate. The user’s tone suggests emotional reactivity (e.g., anger toward political figures or groups), but they maintain a consistent trolling persona, indicating some emotional stability in their approach. Their provocations don’t seem driven by anxiety but by a desire to disrupt. 7. Myers-Briggs Personality Type Based on the traits observed, the user likely aligns with ENTP (Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving). They are outspoken and energetic (extraverted), focus on provocative ideas (intuitive), prioritize logic over feelings in their critiques (thinking, albeit emotionally charged), and show flexibility in jumping between topics without rigid structure (perceiving). However, their thinking is less analytical and more confrontational, which slightly skews the fit. 8. Emotional Intelligence (Aware of others’ emotions, adaptable?) Low. The user shows little awareness of or concern for others’ emotions, frequently using callous or offensive remarks (e.g., "Very hurtful comment" [2025-05-19], used sarcastically). Their adaptability is limited to shifting between insults and sarcasm, with no effort to tailor their tone to the audience or context. They seem indifferent to the emotional impact of their words. 9. Leadership Tendencies (Decisive, guiding, inspiring?) None. The user doesn’t exhibit decisiveness, guidance, or inspiration. Their comments are divisive and aim to provoke rather than lead. They show no interest in rallying others toward a goal or providing constructive direction. 10. Motivated by Social Status? (Seeking respect, competing?) Moderately. The user seems motivated by attention rather than respect, as evidenced by their provocative posts and self-referential comments (e.g., "It would be an honor to be banned" [2025-05-11]). They compete for attention in the forum by escalating their rhetoric but don’t appear to seek admiration or status in a traditional sense. 11. Risk Tolerance (Bold vs. cautious, comfortable with uncertainty?) High. The user is bold and comfortable with uncertainty, frequently risking bans or backlash with inflammatory comments (e.g., "I’m close to being kicked off" [2025-05-11]). Their willingness to push boundaries (e.g., crude remarks about public figures) suggests they thrive on the chaos of potential consequences. 12. Moral/Ethical Framework (Fairness, empathy, or utilitarian?) The user’s framework appears to lack empathy and fairness, leaning toward a self-serving, utilitarian approach where the goal is personal amusement or disruption. Comments like "I don’t recycle. Just my little way of being MAGA" (2025-04-17) suggest a performative rejection of ethical norms to provoke. There’s no evidence of a consistent moral stance beyond opposition to certain groups (e.g., MAGA, religious wrestlers). 13. Cognitive Biases (Confirmation bias, black-and-white thinking?) Confirmation Bias: High. The user repeatedly targets political figures and groups (e.g., Trump, MAGA supporters) with consistent disdain, ignoring nuance or alternative perspectives. They seem to seek out opportunities to reinforce their negative views. Black-and-White Thinking: High. They categorize people and ideas simplistically (e.g., "Dumbass MAGA people," "PSU bible wackos"), showing little tolerance for complexity or gray areas. Hyperbole Bias: Evident in exaggerated claims (e.g., "Trump weighs 224 lbs," "The fat man destroyed the U.S.") to amplify their point. 14. Creative or Conformist? (Original vs. conventional?) Moderately creative. While their trolling relies on conventional tactics (insults, crude humor), they occasionally use vivid or absurd imagery (e.g., "Justin Trudeau will continue to rail Melania with fat donald hiding in his closet watching" [2025-04-16]). However, their repetitive focus on certain themes (politics, personal attacks) limits their originality. 15. Attachment Style (Secure, anxious, avoidant?) Likely avoidant. The user maintains emotional distance through sarcasm and hostility, avoiding genuine connection or vulnerability. Their provocative style suggests a lack of need for approval (anxious) or balanced relationships (secure), focusing instead on disruption and detachment. 16. Response to Stress (Calm, lashing out, withdrawing?) The user likely responds to stress by lashing out. Their aggressive, confrontational tone (e.g., "The President of the United States is a gobsmacking moron" [2025-04-04]) suggests they channel frustration or stress into verbal attacks rather than withdrawing or remaining calm. 17. Cultural Influence? (Language/values hinting at background?) The user’s language (e.g., "Merica," "libtard") and focus on American politics (Trump, MAGA, tariffs) suggest a U.S.-centric cultural background, possibly leaning toward a liberal or anti-conservative stance. Their mockery of religious and conservative figures (e.g., "PSU bible wackos," "Trump could become the next Pope" [2025-04-22]) hints at a secular, urban, or progressive cultural influence, though their crude humor aligns with broader internet trolling culture. References to specific American locales (e.g., "trailer park in Alabama" [2025-06-01]) reinforce a U.S. context. 18. Tone, Emoji Use, and Post Length Tone: Sarcastic, mocking, and hostile. The user frequently uses biting humor (e.g., "Cockroaches live forever" [2025-05-21]) and derogatory nicknames ("Fat Donald," "trumpy"). Even neutral topics are met with cynicism or insults. Emoji Use: None observed in the provided comments, which is unusual for a troll, as emojis often amplify provocation. This absence suggests a reliance on text-based sarcasm. Post Length: Mostly short (1–2 sentences), with occasional longer rants (e.g., the April 4, 2025, tariff post). Short posts align with trolling’s goal of quick, impactful provocation. 19. Scott Adams’ "Loserthink" and Mike Cernovich’s "Midwit" Loserthink (Scott Adams): Yes, the user fits Adams’ definition of "loserthink," which describes unproductive thinking patterns like emotional reasoning, hyperbole, and tribalism. Their reliance on insults, lack of evidence, and black-and-white thinking (e.g., dismissing entire groups like MAGA supporters) reflects this. They prioritize emotional venting over rational discourse. Midwit (Mike Cernovich): Likely. Cernovich’s implied "midwit" describes someone with average intelligence who overestimates their insight, often parroting popular opinions in a performative way. The user’s simplistic insults and lack of nuanced reasoning (e.g., "The fat man is the laughing stock of the world" [2025-04-04]) suggest they fit this mold, expressing anti-conservative views in a way that seeks attention but lacks depth. 20. Are they an asshole? Yes, by common standards, the user’s behavior qualifies as "asshole-like." Their comments are consistently rude, offensive, and dismissive of others’ dignity (e.g., crude remarks about Melania Trump, mocking wrestlers’ academics or appearance). They show little regard for civility or constructive dialogue, prioritizing provocation over respect.

We have 25 guys on the roster so that nobody goes to all the games. This also makes for a fun chat group. I have a few kids, attend all their events, and run practices from 2-4x a week in addition to coaching tournaments 3 out of 4 weeks. Time flies. The coach told me that I will figure out how to make time; he was correct.

What do you call someone who argues against "Done is better than perfect" as good advice AI: A perfectionist. They prioritize flawless results over practical completion, often delaying or overcomplicating tasks to chase an unattainable ideal.

18, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65+. Father son leagues as well. Once you try baseball again, your men's league softball days are over. My team is in a couple leagues and we play 1-4x weekly from April - September. Most pitchers over 35 throw from 60-80mph. 75mph with two pitches and location spotting is competitive pitching.

Had a men's game last night... it is funner to play than watch.... while we still can. Of course the republicans win. Although the best pitcher I know in politics (House of Reps) can still top out at 94mph at 44 years of age! He played with my men's team a couple of seasons; a real pleasure to catch.

Its fkn awesome. I like flyovers at sporting events. I like air shows... This isn't new for the US either... events are annual for UK, Italy, France...

We don't have the money to spend; so hate that. But a military parade officially organized to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary could be an awesome spectacle. America is no more a dictatorship than France... settle down nancy.

I mostly agree in a safety-critical context. Done usually trumps perfect unless massive stakes are on the line. Done lets you learn and improve; perfect can paralyze you. My oldest was not turning in her school work on time because she was obsessing over every word on writing assignments. We had to learn that a "B" is better than a "F." In my work, I can pick two between quality, features, and time... (release features fast, get feedback fast, iterate fast... repeat cycle... then harden.)

FWIW: Youtube allows you to grab video transcripts. AI Prompt: Is trump talking about peaceful or violent protestors for the military based on the full transcript here? Based on the full transcript, Trump is primarily discussing violent protests in the context of military intervention. He describes actions such as people using hammers to break concrete, throwing chunks at police and soldiers, dropping concrete from bridges onto cars, and throwing rocks at police vehicles. He refers to these protesters as "paid insurrectionists," "troublemakers," "agitators," and "criminals," emphasizing their violent behavior, such as spitting in soldiers' faces and endangering law enforcement. He justifies the deployment of the National Guard and Marines to stop what he describes as a planned, violent disaster in Los Angeles, stating that without this intervention, the city would be "burning." While Trump does not explicitly address peaceful protests in detail, his comments suggest a broad stance against any protests that disrupt order. For instance, he mentions that any protests during the upcoming June 14th parade will be met with "very big force," without distinguishing between peaceful or violent ones, though he notes he hasn’t heard of any planned protests. Additionally, his associate Christie condemns the Mexican President for encouraging protests, implying disapproval of even non-violent ones if they are seen as disruptive, though she clarifies that peaceful protests are allowed but violence is unacceptable. In summary, Trump’s focus is on condemning and addressing violent protests with military force, portraying them as orchestrated and dangerous. He does not explicitly endorse or discuss peaceful protests at length, but his rhetoric suggests a low tolerance for any protest activity that could escalate, with a heavy-handed response promised.

Watch the longer video and listen, and then report back please if you feel the same way. You could be correct.

Here is one of the clips circulating. "We won the war and we're the only country that didn't celebrate it, and we're going to be celebrating big on Saturday. We're gonna have a lot of, and if there's any protest that wants to come out, they will be met with very big force, by the way, for those people who want to protest, they're going to be met with very big force and I haven't even heard about a protest, but you know, this is uh people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force." Trump does not provide an adjective that modifies "protest" to clarify its nature. Does he mean peaceful, violent, both, or either? Let's watch a longer video to discover possible context. We learn that Los Angeles violence is the backdrop: Trump’s remarks are influenced by the ongoing Los Angeles protests. He talks about protesters using “big heavy hammers” to break concrete, throwing chunks at police and soldiers, and dropping concrete from bridges onto cars (0:20–0:36). He claims these acts would have led to Los Angeles “burning” without his intervention (0:47–0:56, 3:47–3:49). Reports confirm violent acts in LA, including rock-throwing, burning cars, and vandalism, with over 300 arrests and a curfew imposed by June 10. So now we can infer he is talking about violent protestors.

The topic title tells me this is spin or propaganda. Now I will find and review the source over coffee. Let’s see if this is accurate or example #998237 to explore critical thinking.

Will have to be a facetime phone call.

Should the school be academically free to provide a controversial topic like this? Is genocide worth eventual peace? I inferred your answer to hypotheticals like that was "No, schools should not do that." So what say you? Where did you get that amazing education that taught you to know my thoughts better than I do? I'm not just entitled; I'm Dr. Sherita Hill Golden's worst nightmare.
