Jon Fitch now sells rocks you smoke weed from on etsy

it appears this hobby is worse than kicking trees and being vegan, but markedly better than playing Skyrim

I have very little weed knowledge but to me, rocks seem like a shiity way to smoke your weed.

I once went to California (!) and it seemed like space age weed tech. This poo poo looks like desperate caveman middle schoolers.

By no means an expert, but stone doesn't heat up like metal and won't break in your pocket/bag as easily as a glass pipe, and you wouldn't have to roll it like a joint. BUT 140 bucks Canadian is a pile for a smoking rock.

You also get the Rockhold Advantage of "it's just a sculpture, maaan"

Edit: looks like these are specifically pipes but joint holders, so 140 bucks to avoid roach clips,or just singeing your fingers I guess.

ONE FC is implementing a bizarre certification program for fighter agents:

Seems to be done mainly to get Ali Abdelaziz to gently caress off officially

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

He's the dude that manages Khabib, Gaethje, Usman, Marlon, Gastelum, Neiman, and basically every fighter from Dagestan you've ever heard of.

I really doubt this decision by ONE has too much to do with Abdelaziz specifically, but it's a fun thing to say I guess.

That website is some insane conspiracy theory bullshit.

There appears to be legitimate cause to blame him for doing some shady matchmaking/dealings when he had a financial stake in WSOF, but these websites accusing him of being an active terrorist are just loving stupid.



VVV EDIT: That's not a better source but you don't care what's true so I guess we're done here.

Ali's also tight with Chechan warlords alongside being a snitch to cops, so yeah, if you're not looking to get into international politics, probably best to keep him out of the scene.

A true renaissance man


I wish I had fd's index to my own posts but years ago I made a post where I was nerding out about why I weirdly love Jon Fitch. I drove to the point that while Jon Fitch is really bad at hurting people physically, throughout one of his fights you can see his opponents go from fiery-souled fighters to dead-eyed zombies who are reflecting sadly on ther choices, and that his super power is that he hurts his opponents' self esteem.

I wish I could quote that post because that's exactly what he did to Rory.

Its really funny the bog standard language Rory uses when he talks about religion as someone who had some teen experience in a pentecostal church. Like they gave him a script of exactly how all pentecostals talk.

Invicta's tournament is starting up soon. The Kansas AC did not want any fighter to fight more than 25 minutes, so the quarter and semifinal rounds will each be just 1 5-minute round.

Cool twist: whoever has the quickest quarterfinal finish gets to pick their next opponent.
