That’s why you’re a proper role model to me (& many others) on TFK. Despite your advancing years, you’re constantly growing & organically too. Challenging yourself, pivoting away from harmful pastimes, being a force for good & a positive influence on the next generation.
I used to fear becoming one of those lads (like @Fran) who hits his mid 40s & becomes a hardline conservative almost overnight. Setting up side groups to discuss The Larry Gogan Experience podder’s 12 hour interview with Elon Musk. You show all of us there’s another way.
Dead poster @Sidney tells me that he always saw UFC and the people that were fans of it as the real enemy, that Conor McGregor was merely the canary in the coalmine of a terrifying rise of the idiots.
McGregor was the hero of people who liked to look into a mirror and grunt with immense vibration through the throat, like a dinosaur. Neanderthals. Terminally online simpletons who long to exist in the 1640s, as long as they can bring their smartphones with them.
McGregor could not have existed without them. He was the product of them. They enabled him.
A huge amount of the aforementioned types of people are also huge Liverpool fans. Id be almost certain that if you took all of McGregors fans either then or now a massive proportion would be either Liverpool or united fans with slightly more Liverpool as they are slightly more popular in general in Ireland.
I saw some freak post some random blond one in a dress and a fella, but she was wearing a jump suit, not a dress. From a “MMA” account too. And credits RTE as if it is a source for the misinformation. Fucking arseholes would do anything to try protect a rapist cunt.
