People flocking to the honest brutality of MMA because it expressed literally what politicians and businessmen were doing to them figuratively reminds me of the conceit that politics in general is leaving less and less room for metaphor.

Felix's MMA series is pretty interesting stuff but man the production quality and editing of the video is baaaad. Let's just show Google Earth images of the locations we're talking about!

I would think with Chapo's visibility and media connections they could've got someone better to do it but oh well.

He just pronounces all these guys whose first names start with R as if they start with H and I feel like I’m losing my mind. The entirety of my knowledge of Portuguese names is from soccer players.

This is extremely true for Portuguese. Brazilian Portuguese is the same, except it's drunken Spanish spoken by the town idiot

However it has the advantage of adapting quicker to changes, easier to learn and you get to jam more concepts in less words than European Portuguese. The latter is a huge, over complicated mess.

Yeah gracie names are usually pronounced with a very soft rolling r. It's just their accent. Like this city is pronunced "Hecife"

I'm enjoying the doc but it's kinda odd sometimes when Felix goes into podcaster mode, presuming some of the audience won't know who he is.

I'm brazilian (to my shame atm) and he's not that bad. Mostly he messes up the accent marks (Gastão is pronounced Gaz-tahum, not GasTAOH).

That said, yes portuguese is loving weird and whomever inveted accent marks and out insane conjugation tables should be made immortal and the sealed in a septic tank for eternity.

What’s the New Athiest’s deal? I was debating a friend of a friend on FB and he cited him as a reason to not listen to some Citations Needed info. Just want to have a better idea of what kind of idiot I was dealing with. One of his awesome comments was “institutional racism doesn’t exist.”

He’s Arab.
