Wheelchair Ramps 101 - DIY down and dirty edition 2024

2024.04.28 23:44 SpecialistExchange28 Wheelchair Ramps 101 - DIY down and dirty edition 2024

Thanks for deciding to read my post today. This is not the definitive or complete explanation of wheelchair ramp design. Before I start let's get the technical potentially legal stuff out of the way first.
Ramps that are indoors or in a fenced in area like a back yard (THE FENCED AREA MAY BE DIFFERENT IF IT IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC). Ramps not used by the public = Food delivery, mailperson, utility meter reader, Jahova's Witnesses, etc.
These Ramps do not need to Meer ADA requirements. But should still be functional and safe to use. You'd be surprised at what people do. But if it works, then it works.
Backyards that are fenced in and not accessible to the public MIGHT be excluded.
FOR ANY RAMP OR ACCESSIBLE FEATURE ADDED TO OITDOOR SPACES THAT THE PUBLIC CAN ACCESS WILL 100% NEED A TOWN OR CITY PERMIT. THIS IS WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
Here is where it gets real. If you decide to ignore this and say someone trips, slips pr otherwise gets injured by your accessibility fearure. YOU and only YOU are at fault. Even if it is 100% ADA compliant, the feature was not properly registered with the town or city so it can be noted when and where it is installed and on what property.
Next the town or city will fine you a set amount per day it was in place without a permit. For example a permit for my handcycle shed cost $100 that might seem unfair and costly. But if I had just built my shed without permit they could fine me $1,000 per day it was up from the time it was built.
Getting a permit and making things 100% or better than ADA complaint, yes it is easy to surpass what the ADA asks for. ADA is the bare minimum expected.
This doesn't mean someone trying to con you won't try and sue you. But, if you have things in order such as getting a permit. Making things at least ADA compliant will support your side in a legal issue.
Yup that is the borish stuff for the most part. Forget about it and life will likely get very annoying.
For those who are interested and want a live community to chillax in to talk about most anything really, listen to music and make requests for Fave songs or topics you would like to discuss.
I broadcast live typically in the cold months M-F from around when my pain allows me to get up varies 9am to after noon and I go until my sweetheart arrives home. About 5PM to 6PM I have been broadcasting live 16 years.
Quite literally I am just repeating here what I will talk about live also.
TikTok until the ban kicks in. Then it's back to Twitch. AbiliTV or AbiliTV Live. If you Google the name do not pay attention to the website I don't have one. And the owner of that sight well let's say I don't endorse him.
I am on YouTube, FB, IG,,Twitch, account still there but not used since it went to X (Twitter), Kick - although I don't like the vibe on Kick.
Of course I am here getting started here on Reddit in a more text based community. I am in the Wheelchair and Disabilities communities where I am learning about all sorts of amazing people.
OK, I always hate posting I am a live content creator. I hate it so much I have hardly any community live.
Ramps.
What makes a crappy, good, or excellent ramp?
For me it is the little details that really make the differences. I will use images to try and explain the bare basics.
1st image: Most people see this and think: My prayers have been answered.
No they have not. You will notice the direction the person is using the ramp. Manufacturers do this to play into your desperate need for a ramp solution. They want you imagining how easy there ramp is to use. So they stage images showing that. Much how homes are staged. To make it easier for people to fall victim to slick sales tricks.
What if the door were closed and rhe person was approaching the door? Look at the ramp. How does one say open s screen door or storm door that swings out? Most dwellings will have one.
Now imagine it's raining really hard and that nice metal surface isn't as grippy? And you have a bag or two of groceries on your lap. Now open the storm door and then before it closes as they are typically on a door closer of some design. As you fight the storm door, are annoyed by the driving rain, and fumbling for your keys.
Even on an ideally perfect day without snow or rain this ramp will work 100% against you. Also it isn't wide enough to allow you to move over out of the way ofcthe storm door. Meaning you need to back up and get the door perched against your wheelchair frame to now roll foward to open the entry door. Sadly using the wheelchair brakes just make things all that much more frustrating.
2nd Image: 3 ft ramp $219. This seems decent right? It isn't. You have to account for the pitch or slope.
If you have a threshold that is 10 inches higher than the surface you need to reach, this means you need not just a ten foot long ramp but a raised area that meets the threshold that the ramp attaches to closest to the surface you're trying to reach.
What happens if you decide to use a short ramp and have a steeper slope? The worst will be to flip backwards going up. Next worst you don't have the upper body strength to make it. The next will be you deciding never to use it except to exit with. It is a little less scary going down. Although you need really good hand strength and dexterity to maintain control at higher speeds.
ADDING INFO AS A SAFETY REMINDER: Most manual wheelchairs have what are called brakes. ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ These are NOT brakes like those of a car, or bicycle. Injury or worse can happen when they are used as friction brakes. DANGER: You risk not only destroying your tire and wheelchair but also injuries from catastrophic failures of the tire and possibly the rims of the wheels.
These levers no matter if they are push or pull to lock or scissor styled brakes are only meant and made to hold you in place AFTER you use your hands to stop with. OR FEET for those able to do that.
The reason these are not brakes in the typical sense is because of how they work. They bite into the tire material and can blow out air filled tires by ripping through the rubber tire. On solid tires they can tear the tire causing it to fail and possibly fall off the rim. If the rim is left exposed and you are moving the metal or composite rim will slide on the surface.
The biggest excuses I hear for using these levers as brakes are: They are called brakes. YouTube wheelchair brake basics how to use and not use them. I don't want people ending more disabled than they already are.
My hands are to weak to stop me. I understand that. So my best suggestion is rubber coated work gooves. Leather gloves or some form of glove that you like to use. I personally don't like wearing gloves, but when I go on 16 mile strolls I wear a pair. They provide additional traction and that grip means less hand strength is needed to stop overall. It is not recommended to grab the tire for additional friction at any time while moving down hill.
If tire use us needed make sure you have a pair of heavy duty leather gloves on. Welding gloves short gauntlet works. Warning: This method destroys gloves rapidly. These is due to the sandpaper like friction the tire creates with its texture and tread design. Extreme heat can build up and burn your hands. So pay attention and release grip changing hand positions to reduce this.
Ramps have to be designed to work with the fact wheels like to roll. And steep ramps are what prompted my warning about brake use.
I am considering designing a brake system to work like a bicycle that could be added by most people. I will look into this concept at some point.
So a stubby short ramp might be low cost but isn't the answer it appears in most manufacturers images.
Lots of information that needs to be shared because so many people will fall into the thinking what they have is a good solution and it's harming them and the equipment they use.
Good news here: Most towns and cities do not charge or keep the charge very low for ramp and other disability access devices in public spaces.
What the permit does is show you the bare minimum of what is required to make your project ADA compliant. Also it resistors your ramp or lift with the town or city and at what property. This way should a nosy neighbor want to whine about your project looking horrible the town or city can reassure that negative rube that you are in full compliance with all the ordinances and ADA requirements. So they can mind their own beeswax.
Also the permit is a must if a property owner or landlord are to allow the access in the first place. This has to do with liability and property insurance. Speaking of that crap it would be wise to invest in renters insurance in the event someone claimsxto have been injured by your device. Do not depend only on the landlord or property owner's word that its covered. You could also ask your town or city how that works also to get a straight answer. If the landlord or property owner does claim you are covered always get that in writing.
3rd image shows the lack of what is called a staging area. This is exactly what a porch does. Notice the porch is flat and provides room to move out of the way of any storm door? This is a super important and all to easy to miss feature that makes a ramp go from frustrating to awesome.
I even made that mistake with my ramp I built for my garage. I did change it so it has a 6ft deep 4ft wide same as the ramp staging area that once I installed a screen door I use daily.
4th image: Now it gets colorful. Nothing attaches to the porch or the building in my design. This is to respect the property. And save you on extra costs to restore things later.
The support for the flat area of the porch:
Measure uo to the front top edge of the threshold. Say this is 6 inches or so... Using 4X4 cut to the same width of the porch. These are rated for outdoor ground contact.
Next using decking wood this should be equal to the top front edge of the threshold. In effect the timbers are the support they are orange and just on top of the porch. They go across to provide full support.
How to determine how many. For the porch shown in your image would likely use three. One right under the threshold, one in the middle, and one right along the front edge of the porch.
Decking would go left to right and for the parts with out full support use scrap pieces of 4X4 to position under those rows.
An alternative way to set the supports are: under the threshold is left to right full width of porch. Then instead of the others being left to right. Place one on the left going vertical or not left to right. One on the right side going perpendicular to fhe horizontal one. Then you will cut one 4 inches short for the center also placed parallel to the left and right. The front porch edge piece cut to fit the width between the left and right support.
That would allow you to place decking horizontally left to right with out worry of adding support for some of the deck strips.
The front edge of porch part I feel should be left to right mainly to insure there is no possible way for a ramp to flext or bow in this area. But you are welcome to Google methods on building something like this also.
The ramp for the porch will be the longest most likely based on the photos you shared. They are also referenced later in my post.
Only around the porch and the outside of the caster wheel guides on each side or the blue color in my image needs a railing, as well as down that first ramp.
The other ramps are little more than the plywood laying there. You wouldn't even really need the blue guides on the but they add additional stiffness from bouncing and bending.
Again Google is very good for finding examples of how you can design a capable railing. It doesn't need to be fancy, just meet the requirements the ADA sets. To avoid annoying splinters I strongly suggest using iron pipe or proper outdoor rated round railingbars.
Benefit of the metal pipe is it is very low cost. Con is in the sun it can get hot. To overcome thar railing grip tape can he used to cancle out the hot part and make it easier to grasp. Grip tape is not required.
Thankfully all of this is pretty easy to do if you have some some basic tools or have access to them like narrowing them. If you lack the skill or ability to do this. Trust me when I say buying lunch each day for the hard worker(s) often is payment enough. And Thank You is the perfect payment. Our reward is seeing you enjoying the work put into the project.
Last there is an green outline of a 2x4 on each side of the porch staging area. Put one on the far side as well and this should keep the staging area from shifting leftcand right. Surfaces endure a lot more force than we realize.
5th image I used my garage ramp before I corrected the flat staging area issue.
So this isn't how my indoor ramp now looks. It has no railings as it is not required and the flat area towards the garage side has a 4 inch tall wheel guard wall to keep me from accidentally rolling off front casters or rear wheels.
But, this is roughly how your front porch would look like. All designed to keep everyone safe who uses it.
By connecting the ramp to the flat staging areas makes it much harder for it to shift around. In the case of this if you owned the property you would use a contractors grade waterproof glue and 4 8 inch long lag bolts to secure the 4x4 or wood support right next to and under the threshold and bolt it and glue it to the location. Silicone sealant works also as it is mainly to keep insects from making the area home.
But since the property needs to be returned to original state, I find that making a saddle staging area works wonders. Sadlle in that it is,like a horse saddle. It isn't bolted to the horse but does use the shape of the horse as the stabilizer. And is easy to remove when needed.
Image 6: Sorry about the messy drawing. This is your photo.
The green is the railing around the porch and the first longest ramp.
The light kind of red horizontal strips are stair tread grip tape. Using wood screws shorter than the thickness of the plywood allows you to have a 2 method way to keep these strips in place. For how much they cost you will thank me. One screw near each corner and two one top one bottom in the center. This insures they are secure. The gue or adhesive isn't likely going to stick in every case.
You want full left to right coverage with 2 to 3 inch spacing between each horizontal strip. Yes you can just apply them centered and hope no one slips of they walk closer to the railing. Plus it makes insurance companies feel better also with more safety in mind.
In the event someone slips or falls when pictures are taken of l the scene it will look better for you to have provided more safety than not.
Also more screws can be used if desired. The only thing to make sure of is all screw heads are flat to the surface. The two method way also known as redundant measures to make sure things don't fail to the point of a catastrophe.
The ADA will likely have other suggestions different than I mention. Either will work, I find much of my ideas go beyond ADA requirements.
The ramps since they are so minor in slope may even be able to lay strips of 2x4 or even 1x1 that you screw to the underside of ramp. I almost think you could make what would look like a continuous ramp.
One step won't really need all 8 ft of plywood however keeping them full length means you could likely add smaller pieces where one ramp ends to meet with the highest point so you can connect them so this keeps them from shifting and moving as they will.
The little green marks along the sides of the blue for the length of the ramp represent side supports that are rounded into the ground and screwed to the sides.
As you use a ramp that is not secured it will move a little in the opposite direction of your direction of travel.
Also it will shift left or right when you first roll onto it. And since the ground shown is easy to return to its original condition once this is removed lowers cost at that time.
The blue dots represent horizontal srips placed where needed these are screwed in place as yes they will slide and move into new positions that don't support the ramp.
The goal is no bouncing, bending, flexing, warping ramps.
As long as all wood is rated for ground contact otherwise it will rot away pretty quickly otherwise.
The blue kind of bloody areas are flat sections filled in with plywood.
So once you enter this ramp ot remains a plywood surface until the porch area. Where it's decking.
7th image: An example of how your ramp could be designed. In this image since the ramp os longer and rises up higher I definitely would include ratings on each side. But - it may not require them so that is OK also. The redish area is a flat area at least 5 ft deep and 4ft wide. This would allow a person the chance to turn around also.
The circled spots denote support placement.
Now your steps for me would not need a ramp as I can strong arm my way up short steps or curbs like those. Tha porch would be the only area I would build if this were my place.
8th image: Immediately after moving in I built this and prior to finding the original screen door that the price owners removed and I reinstalled.
It was no fun using this ramp when I had to open the door. I typically had one of the kiddos now all grown up open it first for me.
The lack of a staging or flat area is a huge mistake.
This is ground contact outdoor rated plywood nearly 1 inch thick. Plywood keeps the construction simpler, and removal easier also later.
9th image: Shows the outdoor ramp. Notice the grip tape on this. This is the typical arrangement. I suggest side to side full width strips so able people can walk anyplace and be assured solid footing. The spacing I prefer also assures wheelchair tires have solid grip.
The steeper the ramp I say 3 inches between horizontal strips.
The shallower ramps for your lower or step ramps can be 4 to five inches between them. If they are wide strips works better.
Image 10: This is the ADA recommendation: 36 inches wide. Trust me especially for entry doors you want some space to move over to the side to get out of the way of a screen or storm door. And a place to put down groceries or a package or anything else so you can access the door.
48 inches just happens to be a pretty decent and better than ADA requirements that allows you more room for any purposes.
Image 11: Shows your porch. From what I see this should be pretty easy to cover with the staging area over the porch and ramp going down.
You want to measure from the front edge ofcthe threshold to the ground in front of the porch the walkway leading to it. This will give you a total height that needs to be accounted for.
Say it is a total of 10 inches tall. Your ramp will be 1 foot out per one inch in height. So 10 feet long. Now say you have the room and used 2 8 foot long plywood sheets end to end that is 16 ft. That means your slope will be less overall and easy to roll up. 10 ft will be usable but will be a little harder to roll up.
Funny thing is you use the same energy to roll up 10ft or 16ft. You just exert less energy over a longer distance that still equals the amount it takes to go up a 10 foot length.
Slope is something only you know what works for you. So if you need a little longer of a ramp if room allows it then that is fine.
Oh I forgot skip over the smaller step when making your measurements. That isn't where a ramp will end at to rest.
Image 12: The walkway. These little steps are easily rolled up by some wheelchair users. However of you can not. That is fine.
The over all length of these looks decently long enough. You in effect are just governing them as I hope I explained.
To keep the ramps from moving side spikes can be placed as mentioned 2 at the sides and top, two in the middle sides. And 2 and the bottom sides.
They get rounded into the ground next to each area of the Ramos they will be screwed to. You might even be able to lay a plywood sheet down and see if that is enough to raise you up enough. That the plywood could just lay on the walkway.
Now most likely that option will not fully work. Offered as an alternative.
The very end where ramp ends or starts at the lowest point you can get an aluminum door threshold commercial grade one. It means a little bump up onto the ramp and or down it.
I will photograph the one I have as it works like a charm. Also the rest of my garage ramp.
The deck to ramp can be connected using lag bolts from underneath into the 2 4x4 support. Using 6 or preferred 7 or 8 inch long lag bolts 3 of them to secure the ramp to the staging deck area.
Trust me when I say this, this is a mere drop in the bucket of information on how to design a ramp system.
Last little note:
Always get a permit prior making anything. The permit should cost nothing or very little since it is an accessibility ♿️ need. The information the permit comes with will also be of huge help in DIY or other options.
Sadly there is no way to construct something like this for no cost. However, church groups, friends, local elected officials, and others can be great resources. From fundraising, to helping you locate a foundation or charity to help cover some or all of it.
Do not feel bad for asking for help like this and when needed. Being a renter doesn't mean you should not have accessibility.
Like I mentioned if I was your fellow disabled neighbor I would help construct this.
Tools needed:
Tape measure x 2 I always end up needing 2 of them at times.
4 ft level.
Carpenter square.
Torpedo level. This is a 1 foot long smaller level like the larger 4ft one.
Carpenter or construction style pencil ✏️ they are flat and don't roll away when sat down.
Wood/deck screws 3 or 4in long.
Cordless drill and 2 batteries allows rotation of them when charging. They typically will last 2 or hours each. So when one runs out charge it while using the other.
Leather work gloves.
Socket wrench set for lag bolts.
Screw driver set. Mainly a number 2 Phillips and flathead. These come in handy.
Circular saw - they come corded or cordless either works.
Hand saw for those cuts to awkward for a power tool.
Drill bits for pre drilling holes.
Liquid nails to glue some things together.
Short wood screws not longer than the plywood is thick. For the grip tape strips.
Safety glasses get a few pair.
Hearing protection. Cutting wood can be really loud. Same with drilling it and all.
Things that could help: Something stable to place wood to be cut on.
Saw horses or milk crates the sturdy plastic ones. If they get cut into no big deal.
They cut be cut safely on the ground without risk of damaging tools or injuring you.
Since we are all in the same boat 🚢 in many respects, I find it sp satisfying helping people by helping them learn how they can also help themselves. It's how I was raised. Knowing you have some information and know where to locate more is my payment.
Back to me talking about my live content.
A lot like this post and my others, it is insanely boring stuff. 😴
However, I ask what other content creator is willing to discuss and cover this type of stuff?
Really go look on Twitch live, YouTube live, TikTok Live, Kick,Instagram Live or any other site allowing live content.
How many do you find that can answer questions or get you aimed in the correct direction for the information you need?
16 years now this is what I do for free. I will not and do not monetize my content. I removed myself from Twitch affiliate orogram, I have asked TikTok to allow offboarding and the option to not monetize.
I prefer to lead by example.
Please consider getting to know this strange goofball of a weirdo on my social media channels. It's not a big community but any means and is well sp unique that most people fail to realize all the nerdy disability related bits of knowledge I have to share. Plus I love light sabers and anime to make me extra geeky.
AbiliTV and AbiliTV Live on the main social media platforms.
On TikTok my actual username is AbiliTV and my screen or showing name is DJ Wheelchairbeats.
If you visit tell me your from Reddit and I will in a very socially awkward way greet you. Well I hope with practice this gets less awkward in time. :)
I am not seeking a relationship. Or any side quests. I am at level 54 in my life and to old to give a fart for drama. Making cool new friends, now that's what it's about.
Time to get some photos of my garage ramp.

2024.04.28 23:43 Successful-Bread-347 The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet (TMS) Search: An Primer for EKT Searchers

Hey EKT community!
Congratulations on finding EKT!
Moving from the successful Everyone Knows That (EKT) lostwave song search, you might want to dive into the deep world of The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet (TMS).
Please help us now find TMS to make this the year the biggest lostwaves are found!

Main Differences Between EKT and TMS Searches

1. Musical Style and Era:

EKT: Came from a modern porno film.
TMS: Is a classic rock song recorded from a German radio station around 1984, from a time before the internet and digital media.

2. Historical Context and Volume of Data:

EKT: Had limited historical information or detail from Carl92 who disappeared from the search (perhaps we now know why!).
TMS: Has a huge history, with data collected over many years, including radio playlists, hundreds of pages of spreadsheets and extensive research. The original poster of the song is known and has been helping the search.

3. Origin and Recording Medium:

EKT: Originated in the digital era.
TMS: Was recorded on a cassette from an FM radio, making use of older, analog sources for clues.

4. Misattributions and False Claims:

EKT: Faced fewer incorrect claims of authorship, but was sometimes said to be a fake.
TMS: Is proven not to be a fake, but has seen many false claims and ownership disputes, requiring careful verification.

History of the TMS Search

The quest to identify TMS began when Lydia's brother uploaded it online in 2007 after recording it from the radio in the 1980s. Since then, a global community has formed to find the song's origins.

Key Milestones:

Recorded on German Radio: Most likely in late 1984.
Initial Search: First questions about the song posted online in 2007 (Usenet)
Full recording: July 12, 2019 - the full song is re-found and uploaded.
Original Poster Located: 2019 - the original recorders / posters (Lydia and her brother Darius are located)
Technical Analysis: A distinct 10 kHz line was found in the song's spectrum, typical for 1980s FM broadcasts from NDR Radio, supporting its origin from that radio station. The line was very recently found to be broadcast at exactly 10khz and differences on the frequency found on the tapes are mostly due to tape copying and wear (this has been helpful in identifying airdates).
Radio Playlists: Obtaining playlists from NDR radio resulted in hundreds of pages of bands reviewed and narrowed down potential air dates but did not locate the song.
November 1st, 2021: a higher quality version of the song was found while reviewing tapes and is now on YouTube.
Possible Air Dates: 2024 - Research points to dates like September 28, November 28, December 2, or September 17, 1984, as to when the song likely aired.
Current Research: Searching through the Stasi Archives is now underway for any possible recordings or surveillance data to find if East Germany might have recorded or transcribed the broadcast of the song, given their extensive media monitoring during the Cold War era.

How to Get Involved in the TMS Search

If you're ready to join the search, here are some steps to get started:

Reviewing the Existing Data: Look over the FAQ, compiled spreadsheets, radio playlists, Darius's tape collection lists, and databases to catch up on past efforts and ensure you're not duplicating work.
Engaging with the Community: Participate in forums and discussions on platforms like Reddit, where updates and theories are actively shared.
Exploring Music Archives: Reach out to or visit archives, radio stations, and record stores that might hold records from the 1980s.
Analyzing Similar Music: Study tracks from the same era and genre to find possible matches or connections.
Contributing to Documentation: Help keep the search records accurate and comprehensive.

As you dive into the TMS search, remember that you're joining a quest to uncover a piece of lost musical history. Enjoy the journey of solving this new mystery!

Where to Start

An easy way to jump into the search is to review bands that appear in the NDR playlists from around when we know TMS aired on the radio. Here are some of the rarer bands that we know played on NDR Radio in November, 1984 for which there isn't a lot of data. You can search up these names on Youtube, on discogs, or deeply on the web and let us know if you find anything interesting.

New Clancy Letters

On 2/28/2024 dmaorg updated with the letter that was physically sent out and a couple of new letters from Clancy with new hidden messages.
Clancy seems to have reunited with the Banditos that were awaiting him on the other side of the Paladin Strait. He talked about how there is a new resistance growing inside the walls of Dema- one the Bishops could never truly understand. His hope for liberation has never been more apparent. He states that we will march in the morning, and the revolution will begin with the rising sun.

024 02MOON25 These campfires feel like home, as I stare deeply into them, finding more and more clarity. They tried to tell us we were different. But the flame that burns inside of me is the same fire I've found on the hilltops of Trench. The Banditos have lived their rebellion, and a resistance is growing inside the concrete walls- one powerful enough to burn out all of the stale teachings, and usher in true hope- and a path to actual life. We march in the morning. The revolution shall arrive with the sun. hidden message- FOLLOWTHETORCHES

Promptly after that letter was uploaded, another came about. The next letter talked about how they found another way inside the city, one the Bishops could NEVER suspect, but the members of the growing resistance inside would understand immediately. It talks about how the writer can teach them their ways using eyes that see beyond the horizon, potentially referring to themself, the vultures, or even Trash. The reason I am not saying it was Clancy that wrote these letters is because these are curiously the only letters not signed by him.

Transcript

024 02MOON28 I found a way in. A way they'll never suspect, and a way they'll never understand. Everything about our cause is so hard for them to understand, but so close to the hearts of the glowing resistance. I can reach them all. I can recruit everyone with eyes that see beyond the horizon. I can teach them. They can learn what I've learned, and fly by all of the constructs Dema has placed in front of them. We will take it back. hidden message- FLYBY

the file name, __cla_im00FFFF refers to a hex code, #00FFFF, which happens to be Cyan. Claim Cyan, an anagram of I am Clancy. When you invert that color, it shows red. Tyler recently stated in an interview

“We're excited to get back into it after taking a little bit of a break, but even more excited to get into the color red again. Because that was the goal this whole time with the story. The thing we were afraid of, learing how to utilize it, and try to win. That's kind of what the story is all about” -Tyler Joseph, ...recently

#00ffff next to #ff0000
interesting...

Overcompensate

HOTTEST TRACK OF THE YEAR "OVERCOMPENSATE" HERE
On 2/29/2024, the band announced their 7th album "Clancy" which will feature 13 tracks with 14 music videos and will be released May 24th, 2024. The date was delayed from May 17th as they needed more time to work on the music videos.
i am still so sorry that we all thought it was fake and immediately started clowning on it and the tracklist.
In the "Overcompensate" music video, Clancy returned with our torch-bearing friend Josh Dun. The video opens with an icy overview of the land and sea between Voldsoy and Dema, closing in on Josh drumming alone in a red-lit auditorium. Clancy put on his mask on the other side of the entrance door, and it cut to Josh and Clancy preparing in some type of red lit green room with 3 lights that are lit, but one is out. The one above Clancy was red. People started slowly filing into the seats, all wearing gray sweaters and pants. Typical Dema attire. Clancy made his entrance into the middle of the room and started to explain who he and Josh were and what the plan was going to be. As he continued, he showed a presentation of the material on DMAORG and what the bishops were truly doing. The members of the now-growing rebellion against Dema began to follow Clancy's motions.
Then it cuts to the newly recruited Banditos assembled and taped up standing behind Clancy. Suddenly, "Clancy" passed out, and the people around him rushed to his aid and took off his mask to reveal another dead body. Clancy had seized someone on the inside to recruit new members. It cut back to Clancy and Josh having just crossed the Strait, and Clancy finished his seizing with a little smirk. It's all coming together now :)
Important things to note (and I will add more as I notice them or when other people do)

At the very beginning, we hear voices in German, French, and Spanish reciting the same line

\"this small eerie island has made me a weapon. we believe that we can use it to change the momentum of this war\"

The text on Josh's collar says "Torchbearer" in Ukranian (natn was filmed at a university in Kyiv)
The new banditos were mostly taped with red, but a couple of yellow taped members were mixed in
One of the images Clancy was presenting was this one seen on the Spotify Trench experience
Over the course of the video, the 7th neon lightbulb starts to flicker intensely. When the correct Dema map is rotated so that East is up, Keons' tower becomes the 7th circle.
While we're on the topic of lights, in the secret hideaway they were preparing in, 3 lights were lit but one was out...and they must have forgotten to close that door...
The song talks about "flying by a dangerous bend". Tyler gave an interview on BBC1 where he stated that he got the idea from Britain's "Dangerous bend" road signs, The Bourbaki group created the dangerous bend signal to warn others that the material may be misconstrued or misinterpreted upon first reading.

Next Semester

Watch "Next Semester" Here!
*trigger warning for mentions of suicide
Next Semester released on 3/27/24. It opened on a tightly packed basement show, with TyleClancy singing to the crowd about what is widely believed to be a suicide attempt. Due to the heavy nature of this, before I get into the music video I want to talk about the contents of the song itself first. Tyler said at the shoot that it was about an anxiety attack he had back in college where he didn't know if he was going to make it out.

Stand up straight now, Can’t break down, Graduate now, I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be here, It’s a taste test, Of what I hate less, Can you die of anxiousness? I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be here, What’s about to happen? What’s about to happen?

In the next section, he sings about the event itself, and how the person in the car encouraged him after.

I remember, I remember certain things, What I was wearing, the yellow dashes in the street, I prayed those lights would take me home, Then I heard, “Hey kid, get out of the road!” Can’t feel my legs, I might suffocate, There’s a pressure in my chest, I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be here, What’s about to happen? What’s about to happen?
and then he slowed down, and rolled down his window, And he said "Can’t change what you’ve done, Start fresh next semester. "

Now going back to the music video, it closely resembles the type of shows the band would play when they were in college. When he started to recount what happened, it cut to Clancy standing in the middle of the road at night wearing a school uniform, with car headlights rapidly approaching. He jumps out of the way over and over, and the last time he jumped he was wearing the mask he wore in Overcompensate. At times, the scenes would blur together so the headlights would be visible in the room with the show, but would quickly snap back to the original dark lighting when the beat got more intense. During the bridge, Clancy begins doing the seizing motions before looking up and singing "Can't change what you've done, start fresh next semester". Then he walks into the crowd, now singing softly, and it panned out to show they were all standing in the road where the events took place.
TyleClancy in the seizing position
As far as how this fits into the lore deeply, we'll just have to wait until the album releases.
________________________________________________

Backslide

Watch "Backslide" Here!
Backslide released on 4/27/24. The song itself talks about the fear of sliding back into bad habits and bad mental states and becoming overwhelmed to a point where you feel its safer for your loved ones to "let go" and leave, as your energy is just spent and you feel in over your head. In the second verse, Tyler seems to address the SAI criticism and how it negatively affected him, even saying he wished he never did "Saturday", while this could also be Clancy regretting the performance he gave on the sub.
In the music video, it starts at the beginning of yet another cycle. Clancy pulls up to a corner store seemingly in a town called Centerville to buy a package of burger rolls branded "Ned's Breads". He takes off on a super sick rad looking bike with thick red wheels, and suddenly the music video resembles a much more grown up version of Stressed Out.
SICK BIKE
As he gets into the heavier part of the chorus he's suddenly pedaling through a heavy storm with leaves blowing hard into his face. Throughout his ride, he's being rather wasteful with the burger buns he bought. Nibbling out of one and throwing it on the ground, spending one to get a cup of lemonade from a kid, then littering on the ground after drinking all of the lemonade. As he keeps passing through storms though, they get more intense, eventually leading to an intense rainstorm which soaked the last bun in the bag. He rounded the corner and arrived to Josh grilling one burger, but realized his last bun was tarnished so he returned to the corner store. He threw the bag in a trash can with a dangerous bend symbol on it, and bought another bag of burger rolls. Then it cut back to Josh grilling his (probably rather tasty) flat burger, wondering where Clancy was with the one bun he needed. Completely unaware of what was happening to Clancy as he wasn't communicating.
Important things to note:

There are multiple bishop branded products in the store.
Lots of signage from the live stream can be seen, with the addition of Velma's Vapes (velma is josh and debby's cat)

The lemonade stand had yellow stripes, and the kid running it was asking Clancy the questions
They've got worms
________________________________________________

My own observations so far (if you're interested)

the mask quite literally shows tunnel vision and the loss of Clancy's peripherals, and the red stripe is showing HIS VISION GOING RED AND THAT IS WHY JOSH IS BLURRED PEOPLE ITS NOT BECAUSE HE'S NOT REAL. ITS ANGER AND HIS VISION IS CLOUDED IN SHADOW (VIGNETTE) HE'S NOT SEEING CLEARLY THEREFORE NICO HAS MORE CONTROL THAN EVER. Also to add to this, Clancy mentions having episodes of blood red vision and dreams of flying. in Overcompensate, he's FLYING BY the dangerous bend symbol, and in the hidden room with the 3 lights that are lit with 1 being out, the light above Clancy is red. His bike is also red in Backslide. I want to mention we've seen examples of peripherals going blurry during Nico's seizing in Jumpsuit.

OKAY AND ALSO going along with that, the red tape must represent the bishop's control still. notice how josh doesn't have any tape on the cover? he just has remnants of the red grown out in his hair. I'm taking this as an interpretation of the amount of people going along with a bandwagon for clout and performatism as opposed to the people going along with it for the right reasons. that's why there are so many red-taped people and so few yellow ones. that's the reality of society at the moment. those people that have the red tape are still under bishop control, they don't know what they're doing and they're just going along with the masses still. who are those yellow taped people?the few, the proud, and the emotional.
That's why keon's circle is taped. that's why trash is taped. that's why the vulture is taped to leave the city, the city is still under bishop control. since the grandfathers are taped, and trench is in the shape of a brain, i can only assume that insinuates that the bishops have control over the continent somehow since many ideas from vessel are used in this story. or, to go along with my other theory, clancy is so focused on getting back to trench that its clouding his vision.

this was initially a little blurb but I had a huge moment earlier and I just really needed to point out how The Judge, Morph, and Overcompensate are very very very connected and it may give us insight on where we may be heading next so I wrote another thread just for that specific theory. big thanks to the ppl in #verified-theories on the discord for listening to me scream about this for 6 hours and helping me craft this. The Judge/Morph/Overcompensate connected by Josh Dun and a perspective on the direction of the story
this was another tangent I went on about how every time we see the black, it seems to be synonymous with the symptoms of seizing according to Clancy. THE BLACK NECK AND HANDS ONLY SHOW UP WHEN BEING SEIZED
________________________________________________

there we go! that's everything so far! due to the fact that this album will have 14 FULL MUSIC VIDEOS, this will probably be a series of packed threads as I'm anticipating dmaorg to go crazy any day now as well.
if I missed anything let me know as always. less than a month to go :))

2024.04.28 23:27 vivianlevine [Unreleased media] - Get Down on the Floor (probably from '90s-early '00s)

Youtube link: https://youtu.be/XeWwrsszwDI Posted: March 14, 2024 (Channel name: jcorsen)
Today, Everyone Knows That/Ulterior Motives (EKT) has been found; I'm a member of its own subreddit and it made me hopeful to find another lost song.
This is the watzatsong link: https://www.watzatsong.com/en/name-that-tune/775655.html
I can see that it was posted by a user named "funkyrecord" who said: "from the same tape 1998 i think" under a title "Pop - English". It was posted 309 days ago so it was around late June 2023.
Hearing the song makes me realize that it has the sound of a typical 1990s-early 2000s teen pop music which was made by a boyband. The sound is very similar to what Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and all the boy groups of that era released. I posted here thinking if anyone else is also invested with the song? I think that this could've been a banger if it was released back then 🙂 It's very catchy!!

2024.04.28 23:20 missplayer20 My original theory on the song before it was found

So, long before the song was found, I imagined it being sung by a teen Disney star from the 90's-2000's (Where things like Lizzie McGuire, Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zac and Cody are a thing). In fact, the singer sounds kinda like Brenda Song in Zac and Cody (And I could definitely picture the singer looking something like Brenda Song), and also Skye Sweetnam when she sang Just the way I am. I can definitely imagine a Disney bumper ad from that time period where some Disney teen stars at the time are singing and dancing to it in a white background.
The fact that we found out where the song came from now is so ironic after looking back to my theory.

2024.04.28 22:52 SandSea5689 Das is gut das Ding

'Lass das mal den Papa machen' hat es in die Singlecharts und in einige Stadien geschafft. Aber das eigentliche geniale Meisterstück ist der 'Capitol Song', das Intro-Lied des Films, dargeboten von der Abteilung Schadensregulierung. Es bringt auf wundervolle Weise all die Facetten des Innenlebens dieser Bürogemeinschaft auf den Punkt: Liebenswürdigkeit; Dilettantismus; Fatalismus; Resignation; rührender Trotz und Selbstbehauptungswille; Selbstironie; Solidarität; Demütigung; einen abgründigen Kleidungsgeschmack; und das allgegenwärtige latente Gefühl des epischen Scheiterns im Leben ("ich hätte eigentlich lieber was mit Autos gemacht"). Es ist eine großartige Parabel auf die dystopische Wirklichkeit eines jeden Großraumbüros in Deutschland.
Aber jetzt mal Titten auf den Tisch: Welche ist Eure Stromberg-Lieblingsmucke? Sex Bomb? Smoke on the Water? Apache? I can't get no Satisfaction? Was von Café del Mar? Oder doch eher was von Günni?

2024.04.28 22:51 everythingxn0thing Question about partner for music based channels

I apologize if this is like something that gets asked, but ive tried searching and it seems I cant find an exact answer to this issue only adjacent ones.
I have a channel that is basically a hip hop channel featuring rare songs not online, and custom blends and remixes I make myself. I just hit the 500 people to get partnered (broke the 3000 hrs last month); but i have a question.
Most of my uploads are full albums I make myself, with my own origibal beats. Something like 15 songs per project.
The thing is, When i upload things, they barely catch ANY of it. They only can catch beats/raps if they play by themself. Like if the beat drops out, and the acapella will get caught but only then. Same for beat when the acapella gets caught if im doing a blend tape of diff artists.
My question is, will I get denied for this? I mean I cannot do it by hand, and they only come up as tye real tracks when the the beat or accapella drops out of the real song;
I reallt only planned on using the partner program to do private videos and monetize my actual REAL projects which I plan to start adding once I had people to actually look at them; hence me building up the channel with arjacent artists of similar ilk.
But are they gonna deny me because half my albums have zero copyright on them? Can i do it by hand so it shows im not trying to hide anything?
My point is im tryna be transparent. I dont want them to think im tryna monetize something I dont really own. I wasnt trying to do that. But I cant set it myself so how do I do this?
I mean im sure they will see the tracks are not my own but will they just set the copyright themselves or am i gonna get denied off the bat?
Im sorry if i am not clear; i just see differing information. I see people who use actual real sobgs and just rename them as new. I think thats kinda BS, and i hate that. But i see all types of channels using content that is owned elsewhere and they monetized. So just wanna know what I should expect or if anyone had any similar dealings they can help me out with.

2024.04.28 22:34 Hat__Kip EKT predictions that were right

Now that we know the origin of the song, we should look back into everytime someone got the prediction right and got no attention or we didnt believe them, ive seen like 3 people saying they had sex to it already.

2024.04.28 22:28 somethingnormal10 should I be laughing or pissed EKT got found in a hoo haa film

Turns out this wasn’t a hit 80’s song playing on some radio stations, and it wasn’t a song high schoolers were listening to on cassette tapes in the 80’s, it’s a song from a wiener whacker film.
Genuine question, would it be MOST appropriate to be pissed that carl92 made everyone search for a song coming from a jerky werky movie (he probably was trolling people), or should I be laughing that the song itself is from the WooHoo film?

2024.04.28 21:53 HopefullyImWell No one will read this but I’m completely done with everything. Zero motivation to live, I’m a loser

This is gonna sound super bitter and incel ridden but I do not care anymore.
My roommate complains to me about how sex is everything and how it’s everywhere. Media, songs, shows, movies, products, etc everything. He broke up w his girlfriend and went crazy. He kept approaching women on campus with zero success. Until, he got LUCKY by fucking some girl in the club he was in. He started freaking out before it happened, literally saying “[my name] I REAAAALLY need the room Thursday or Saturday or someday super soon. I haven’t had sex in a long time so I would reaaaally appreciate if I could have the room”. This is literally how desperate he sounded. And his “long time” without sex was literally like 3 months. Is it this much of a drug? Anyway I felt like screaming “YOU ARE COMPLAINING TO A VIRGIN” like FUCKKKKK FUCK YOU
Why is sex not a God given right? If it makes people go this insane?
Recently, well literally yesterday, my friend said “I’m joining a polygamous relationship so we’ll see how that goes”. I ask him how many people and if it’s like an orgy or they all fuck each other separately. He said it’s 6-7 other people and they all like each other enough to fuck. Essentially all these people like each other and are willing to have sex with anyone in the group. The fact that they brought him in is mind blowing. That many people? You’re so bored of sex you need to bring more people in and do it with different people each time? Are you fucking kidding me? He’s over 20 different people slept with. I would be surprised if he’s at 50+ now. People say sex irl is not like porn but this literally sounds like a porn addicts dream. How the FUCKKKK do you get even one person to like you enough to have sex with them? Let alone SEVEN OTHER PEOPLE??? WHAT THE FUCKK?? Are you kidding me? And I shouldn’t kill myself why?
I’m a 22M and literally have like a week and a half left of dorming on campus. I’m with people my age with a dorm room all by myself. I feel like I’ve wasted my life. I tried, I tried speaking to women and all they do is lead me on and friendzone me. I hate myself and I hate my life i want to kill myself. How do people get so fucking lucky?
That’s another thing, I was talking to the first guy I mentioned (who used his ex for sex) and we were talking one day and I said “You get really lucky with the people you meet and relationships you get” and he literally flips the fuck out. He goes absolutely ape shit, “it’s not luck! I put myself out there and make connections” etc etc the whole bullshit. Like no, it’s luck. I bet I’ve talk to way more women on campus than he ever has. I bet I have more friend girls than he has too. They literally tell me how awesome of a person I am. Yet I have ZERO luck in finding someone who will genuinely like me. I can’t do hookups but I’m sure if I found a woman who would lead I could. I’ve wasted my time and almost ready to leave. I am useless, worthless and pathetic. I bring zero utility to the world because I’m a virgin. A real man isn’t a virgin.
I promise if I had sex and relieved my curiosity I wouldn’t care about having it. These are just two stories out of the many many many others I have. These people are so disgustingly privileged and gatekeep sex. It makes me suicidal.
I’ll no longer be in a social setting with people my age and no longer have a room to myself. I failed. I’m going to join the 30 year old virginity club because I am definitely not losing it when I’m home looking for a job for the next several years. Plus chances are my job wont have good looking co workers or people not ran through. Please give me a reason why I should continue living

2024.04.28 21:24 ShelbyRB My parents’s crazy wedding video

Wasn’t sure if this is the kind of drama everyone likes here, but I thought I’d share it anyway. It’s not as crazy as other stuff I’ve seen on reddit. All of this was stuff I saw on the video of my mom and dad’s wedding. I wasn’t even born then, so this isn’t firsthand info.
The video was made by the father of one of the groomsmen. At the very start, in the hotel, the groomsman holds up a beer can and says that will be the only drink he’ll have all night. There’s footage of him getting into his suit and then we get to the church. That’s where the real fun begins.
First is the ring bearer and flower girl. Both were cousins from my dad’s side. All the way up until the ceremony started, the flower girl, J, was incredibly nervous. Meanwhile, the ring bearer, P, teased her about being so nervous because he wasn’t. Then the ceremony started and they have to walk down the aisle. And P starts screaming bloody murder because he’s scared about everyone watching him. Meanwhile, J in the video is just looking at him with a sort of annoyed expression because he was causing a fuss. At one point, P’s dad (my uncle) was literally pulling P by his legs as the poor boy clung to the pew, screaming his head off. I have no clue what was said to eventually calm him down, but he did calm down and go down the aisle eventually.
Both my parents were raised Catholic. I don’t know if you’ve been to a Catholic wedding, but there are points where the bride and groom kneel at the altar, their backs to the audience. The first time they do that, the camera zoomed in and people started laughing. The words “HELP ME” were written on the bottom of my dad’s shoes. This had been a prank set up by my aunts (dad’s 2 sisters) and so my dad and my mom had absolutely no clue why everyone was laughing. The priest was also clueless. So there’s this point where my mom, my dad, and the priest are all wearing these befuddled looks and just kind of exchanging glances to each other. Even after the initial surprise wore off, there would always be a few laughs every time my dad had to kneel. The real kicker is that the letters weren’t just written on the shoes. My aunts had gone the extra mile and actually BAKED the letters onto the shoes using an oven! No, I have no clue how they did that. But it meant that the letters couldn’t be removed and, thus, the shoes were ruined. Which was a problem because they came with the tuxedo my dad had rented. So he couldn’t return them and didn’t know that until he went to return the tux.
The rest of the ceremony was fine. The usual tears of joy and whatnot. Then it’s time for the reception. And the alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. People got TRASHED. Including the whole wedding party. Who, after a lot of drinks for courage, rushed the band. Picture a hostile viking raid. Now imagine the vikings in nice suits and the fleeing townsfolk as the band. You get the idea. My dad and his groomsmen put the singer in a headlock (not super tight, but clearly uncomfortable) and proceeded to sing off-key drunken rock songs. The one I remember them singing on the video was “Wild Thing”. Everyone just kept partying.
Finally, remember the groomsman at the start? The one who said he was only going to have that one can of beer all night? Yeah. You can imagine how that went. In fact, he got especially drunk that night, to the point that he threw up and passed out.
For anyone wondering how things went after that, my parents have been married for over 30 years. No issues. No separations. So it all worked out in the end. And, no, sadly, I can’t post the video itself. It was on an old VHS tape. Honestly have no clue where it ended up. Or how I would go about converting the tape to a digital file that could be shared. But the video’s contents live rent free in my head, along with a LOT of other goofy family stories.
Anyway, that’s it. I’ve always wanted to share this story online.

2024.04.28 21:04 Milk_bruh123 My TGPT playlist.

I made this playlist a while back as my preferred way to listen to The Ghost~Pop Tape. It has my preferred version of each song including the original GenY5 version of ODB without the ear piercing crackle like 2 mins in, and all the bonus tracks that weren’t included in the official upload of TGPT thats on Spotify currently. Also some cool art I found to differentiate it a bit from the original.

2024.04.28 21:02 Wayfaringbutterfly 8-Track Help for Newbie - 8 track has some cross talk/double songs playing, do I need a different tape?

I am a reseller on eBay and occasionally run across various vintage audio equipment but have only dealt with 8-track players a couple of times. I only have one tape that I have used consistently for testing and the unit I am testing today which is a Centrex by Pioneer is in excellent condition but the 8-track tape seems to be playing double songs, one is very very quiet in the background and the other one is well, normal. So I'm wondering if it's just because the tape is worn out and if I need to get another tape or if there's something else I should try.
Thanks for any help!

2024 - Staked: 218.8u, Profit/Loss: -5.28, ROI: -2.41%
As always, scroll down for UFC 301 Breakdowns. The following is just a recap of last event’s results.
UFC Vegas 91 (PREVIOUS CARD)
Staked: 8.5u
Profit/Loss: -0.29u
Parlay Suggestions: 2-3
Definitely not my best work there, but a testament to why hedging is an important tool to utilise when possible because it bailed me out of some bad bets. Thanks to those early moves, I managed to reduce my losses a lot more, so I’m happy with the overall results despite actually getting most of my bets wrong here. Onama’s ability to hit that reversal from back control was ridiculous, and if Pearce addressed that I think he would have been just fine. Guskov was a nice hit. Nicolau getting flatlined was not.
❌ 2u Matheus Nicolau to Win at -170
✅ 1u Bogdan Guskov to Win at +175 (won +1.75u)

UFC 301
We really were spoiled by UFC 299 and UFC 300, because this PPV looks anaemic in comparison. I guess it’s mainly because those events used up some of Brazil’s biggest names (Pereira, Figgy, Moicano, Andrade, Jailton, Marina, Lopes, Burns), and these kinds of cards are always Brazil vs the World (my favourite kind of style of card). I’m still looking forward to it compared to the typical Apex garbage though=, so no complaints from me!
It didn’t take long to realise that this card has been curated to be very Brazilian friendly. I am absolutely not one of these conspiracy theorists who thinks the UFC is rigged, but I think it’s very important when betting to ask yourself WHY this fight was booked (especially for PPVs). The UFC’s business model runs off creating stars and generating hype (the existence of DWCS proves this), so these kind of cards are the perfect opportunity to do that. The matchmakers are literally paid to make decisions on who fights who, so none of this stuff is accidental. If you’re familiar with my history as an MMA Trader, you’ll know that thinking about public perception is where my skills lie, so I’m always excited for PPVs because there’s extra narrative in a lot of the fights.
Let’s get into it!

Alexandre Pantoja v Steve Erceg
This is a very weird main event. The Flyweight division is starting to fade again, as its top 15 is littered with fighters who have either shown their ceiling is below championship quality, or guys who aren’t active enough to be given title shots. Erceg has managed to bag himself a title shot from 11th in the rankings, despite having only three fights in the company. Aside from fighters coming into the organisation with a strong reputation in combat sports, or women’s divisions, I can’t think of a fighter who has made their way to a title shot quicker than Erceg has in recent years.
Historically, I bet on Pantoja against most opponents because I’ve always been convinced he’s been championship calibre, and has multiple paths to victory every time. I have tried to fade Erceg mostly due to the rapid stepping up in competition, but I also bet him against Costa.
I know there’s a bit of a theme with me being non-committal towards betting on title fights (except Pereira last event, hehe), but I think this is probably an acceptable fight to shrug my shoulders at – purely because of the unknowns regarding Erceg. I don’t really think you can look at his performance against Alessandro Costa or David Dvorak and come away with any conclusion regarding his chances against Pantoja. I guess you could take something from the opening five minutes against Schnell…but that’s still not a great comparison because Schnell’s biggest weakness is still Pantoja’s biggest strength (chin/durability)?
On the flipside, what we do know about Erceg is that some of his best strengths are actually in the areas that Pantoja looks to exploit. The Brazilian is one of the most durable fighters in MMA history, having never been finished in 32 professional bouts – 14 of which took place in the UFC. He weaponizes that by pushing a pace and creating chaos that he knows he can be the more durable fighter in. Aside from that, he’s also got an elite submission game, and his grappling is top notch. His striking certainly isn’t bad either.
But, as I said, that doesn’t sound as much of a nightmare for Erceg as it does for a lot of other guys. Steve’s done most of his work in the UFC on the feet, where he has shown some very impressive durability (and on the regional scene). People also therefore forget that he’s primarily a grappler also, having six submissions on his record. Of course I expect him to be inferior to Pantoja in both areas, but I don’t see him getting steamrolled like Perez, Royval (1) or Schnell did.
So whilst there are still a hell of a lot of unknowns about Erceg, what we do know is enough to predict that this is unlikely to be Pantoja’s most dominant win. If the Brazilian can’t get finishes against an opponent, he has to rely on his minute winning ability. Whilst those are still very good skills (and enough to get the better of Brandon Moreno!), it’s definitely the way he can be exploited the most (a 9-5 record in fights that go the distance, to quantify that belief).
So in short, despite not having much confidence in my line here, I have to grade Pantoja as less of a favourite than the books currently do, but a favourite nonetheless. Erceg’s ceiling is still unknown, but logic would dictate that this is too much too soon. It’s therefore no bet from me on the moneyline, but my belief in Erceg’s durability will obviously lead me to consider the overs in this fight. Not too sure what I expect to see here but if the FGTD is plus money then I’ll probably get involved somehow. Keep an eye on the bet list at the bottom of the post to see what/if I bet.
How I line this fight: Alexandre Pantoja -188 (65%), Steve Erceg +188 (35%)
Bet or pass: I may look at the overs, but the ML is a pass
Prop leans: None

Jonathan Martinez v Jose Aldo
Second fight, second non-committal stance, I’m afraid. I know this one is around a pick’em, and I know it’s super interesting…but do any of you train with Jose Aldo or know him personally? If not, I don’t think any of us have even the slightest clue how he’s going to look in the cage after almost two years on the sidelines. Yes, he’s been boxing, which gives some positive signs that he’s still keeping in some sort of shape – but he drew with Jeremy Stephens and beat two guys with combined pro records of 0-9-1. Hardly enough to believe he’ll be as sharp as when he was an active UFC fighter.
Jonathan Martinez on the other hand is eight years younger than Jose Aldo, and in his athletic/career prime. He’s currently riding a six-fight winning streak that includes wins over Said Nurmagomedov and Adrian Yanez. He’s a very well-rounded fighter that uses leg kicks to great effect, as is typical from a Factory X homegrown talent. He’s also been criminally underrated in these last few years after the shock loss to Davey Grant. Dude was -105 against Zviad Lazishvili (who even is that?), and both of the aforementioned wins.
Unfortunately for Martinez, Aldo is not going to lose out to the leg kicking game, instead he may be the one landing the significant leg strikes there. That kind of takes away one of Martinez’s most reliable weapons, which makes this one even more interesting.
Other than that, I genuinely don’t know what more to say. Logic and history tells us that the younger and more conditioned Martinez should win here, but if Aldo manages to find a special Brazilian doctor of some sort, or if he just ends up being fortunate that father time is generous to him, then the Jose Aldo we know and love should confidently beat Jonathan Martinez.
Who wins this fight? I have no idea. Neither do you. That’s why it’s a pick’em. Don’t think about it anymore than that. Just pass and enjoy watching the questions get answered inside the cage.
How I line this fight: No idea.
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

Paul Craig v Caio Borralho
Hell yeah, I love it when we get fights like this. Guys I rate very highly and always look to bet, vs guys I think are massively overrated and always look to fade. In case it wasn’t obvious, Craig is the fade and Borralho is the prospect.
I have a lot of love and respect for Paul Craig. He’s long been one of the most successful and inspiring UK fighters – and his fights at various UFC Londons have often been the highlight of the entire events. Also, the man has an exquisite music taste - his walkout song choices always result in me finding new bands and albums to listen to. Thanks for that Paul!
But in terms of in-cage ability…he’s as one dimensional as it gets. His style is pretty much identical to Royce Gracie in the earliest UFC days. He has an elite submission game, but everything else in his skillset is hugely inferior, which will always limit him. Statistically, I rate all of his skills at a 3, but his pure submission game as a 9.
It’s been really fun to see the UFC booking Craig in fights that allow him to show his best work (as opposed to the Volkan Oezdemir fight, which was painful to watch), but MMA is much more complex than sheer submission ability. Against Muniz he was victorious because he was actually the superior striker, and also had the superior cardio that night…but the fight against Brendan Allen showed those limitations again. Going back to those aforementioned skillset rankings, Craig was inferior in every area of MMA, but he was matched or even trumped by Allen’s BJJ too. In short, I knew that Craig had no consistent way of winning that fight, and needed a high variance Hail Mary. I bet Allen quite confidently there.
And that conclusion is the exact same one I come to here. Caio Borralho is actually a severely underrated wrestler, and that is what makes him so great. I have no doubt that his wrestling is superior to Craig’s, which will result in more top control time for the Brazilian. Of course, Caio is an elite BJJ fighter himself, so like Allen and Muniz before him, I’m not worried about Craig’s offence from guard.
So the only other ways I see Craig winning this fight are the same as the Muniz fight, via superior striking or cardio. Right off the bat, I don’t think Craig’s a better striker than Caio (though it’s competitive enough), and the aforementioned wrestling success should stop that from being the story of the fight if Caio approaches the fight intelligently…but the cardio dynamic could be one to be wary of. I personally think the complaints about Caio’s cardio are vastly overdone – he’s won the third round on 11 of the 12 scorecards that has been submitted in his UFC career (if we ignore the point deduction against Omargadzhiev).
Therefore, that leads me to conclude that I think this is a well-booked fight by the UFC, who want to bolster the record and popularity of one of their most interesting Brazilian prospects and get a big win for the home crowd. Craig will give Caio the fight he wants, and he will likely lose in doing so. Caio should win this fight at least 80% of the time, I think…which gives me about 6-7% of value on the -275 price tag I pounced on. As expected, that’s long gone now. That’s a 5u bet for me.
How I line this fight: Paul Craig +400 (20%), Caio Borralho -400 (80%)
Bet or pass: 5u Caio Borralho to Win (-275)
Prop leans: Caio could win this fight in any of the three ways tbh.

Anthony Smith v Vitor Petrino
The UFC reward Anthony Smith for his years of warrior spirit, company-first mentality, and his contributions on the UFC analyst bench…with a fight against one of the LHW division’s scariest upcoming prospects. How generous of them. Nonetheless, Smith is still talking crazy in interviews saying he’s close to a title shot with a win here, lol.
Vitor Petrino had one of those questionable records coming into the UFC. People have tried to fade him with Anton Turkalj, Marcin Prachnio, Modestas Bukauskas, and most recently Tyson Pedro. I understood the Modestas one, but the others were ridiculous. I bet Petrino at -250 against Pedro, and I think he definitely justified the price tag there.
Petrino is just so physically imposing. Whether he’s using his wrestling or striking, it just always feels like his opponents are tentative that Petrino’s about to do something explosive and dangerous. It’s been quite impressive seeing him show off his wrestling ability, as most believed him to be a pure striker that would struggle on the ground.
Anthony Smith is a very interesting litmus test for any aspiring top 15’er though, because despite the fact that Smith is very shopworn and clearly a bit mentally muddled (the “you attacked my family” thing against Walker was terrifying and really should not have been glossed over IMO), he is still a very well-rounded martial artist that is respectably skilled everywhere. He can be outgrappled by a safe guard-chilling gameplan, or just by generally being a more powerful striker though, as seen in his multitude of losses in recent years to the likes of Rountree, Walker, Ankalaev, Rakic, and Teixeira.
Those are two routes that Petrino can take, because we’ve already seen him follow those paths on multiple occasions. Whilst that’s clearly enough to deem him the favourite against a clearly declining Smith, this is enough of a step up in competition that I’m not convinced enough by Petrino to get on board with the idea of him being -400. Yes he probably goes and starches Lionheart, but if the finish doesn’t present itself easily then I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see this one turn more competitive than that line indicates. Therefore, -200 to -250 sounds like an appropriate price to me, so it’s no bet.
How I line this fight: Anthony Smith +250 (29%), Vitor Petrino -250 (71%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

Michel Pereira v Ihor Potieria
This is a pretty simple one to break down. Doesn’t surprise me that it kicks off the main card. This fight makes absolutely no sense from a ranking perspective, but it makes all the sense in the world from a narrative and promotional perspective.
Michel Pereira is one of the hardest non-Heavyweight hitters in the UFC. Ihor Potieria is a bang average fighter that is basically being used as a litmus test for a lot of unproven prospects. He’s a very beatable fighter and the perfect sacrificial lamb to get you an easy UFC win on your record. He was originally scheduled to face Shara Bullet Magomedov, who is definitely flavour of the month. Hell, they even tried to use him as a softball for 40 year old Shogun Rua last year!
Potieria’s recent upset win over Robert Bryczek does demonstrate that he’s got SOME life in him though, but there’s a massive difference between Bryczek and Michel Pereira. Potieria isn’t overly interested in shooting for takedowns either, making this even more of a nightmare fight for him.
Another highlight reel KO for Michel Pereira is expected, and I’d be quite surprised if he didn’t get it here. Therefore, I fully expect that prop to be priced at something around the -150 mark, maybe even steeper.
Took some time for the line to come out but -400 sounds about right in my eyes. I decided to combine Pereira with Mateusz Rebecki on next week’s card. -140 for the double.
How I line this fight: Michel Pereira -450 (82%), Ihor Potieria +450 (18%)
Bet or pass: Potentially on the KO, price dependant
Prop leans: See above

Joaquim Silva v Drakkar Klose
This was the first bet I made on this card, and I placed it a couple of weeks ago when the line was much closer. I bet Drakkar Klose at -137.
I bet against Drakkar Klose when he faced Joe Solecki last time, and I’m still frustrated by how unlikely that finish was. Klose was definitely looking the inferior fighter there, but a moment of brilliance can be all it takes sometimes.
This one seems pretty cut and dry to me. Klose is a well-rounded fighter whose biggest issue had typically been his lack of finishing ability, but he’s still a very reliable fighter that will work hard for 15 minutes. He’s been in competitive fights with the likes of Beneil Dariush, Marc Diakiese, and Bobby Green in his time, and these bouts have spanned across all different realms of MMA. He’s never really done anything that will blow your hair back (aside from being on the receiving end of that amazing KO by Dariush, and the recent slam of Solecki), but I think that makes him a bit underrated. He’s 36 years old now, but he’s never been the fastest fighter, nor has he had a long and gruesome career.
Joaquim Silva has a similar level of experience, but his UFC record paints a different picture by comparison. The calibre of fighters he has lost two really does vary, but a decision loss to Vinc Pichel, as well as being finished by Ricky Glenn and Nasrat Haqparast, doesn’t really fill someone with confidence.
Silva’s most recent win came against 41-year-old Clay Guida, where he clearly lost a round and honestly could have lost the fight with a couple of adjustments. That fight was a terrible look for the -320 favourite, and to me that was a clear indication that he seems to be on the decline. Klose, by comparison, seems to be operating on a similar enough level to how he has done for most of his UFC career. Yes he has taken a step down in competition lately, but he’s performing as you would expect him to.
Statistically, Silva has a negative strike differential, and most of the key metrics are inferior to Klose as well. There’s every chance that this one turns into a barn burner, which would definitely suit the more dangerous Brazilian...but I fully expect Drakkar Klose to put on a typical 15 minute performance, where he settles down into his pace, and mixes in his superior striking and wrestling to coherently win rounds. It probably won’t be the most entertaining fight we’ve ever seen, but a commanding win is perfect for me. A vintage Drakkar Klose performance.
In terms of the betting line, I had Klose capped at around -200. The -137 available was a steal and I was very keen to take it, but I’d definitely be passing on this fight if I was looking at it for the first time now. Another reason why it’s important to keep track of my bet list at the bottom of each post, as I gave this out when -137 was widely available.
How I line this fight: Drakkar Klose -200 (67%), Joaquim Silva +200 (33%)
Bet or pass: 2u Drakkar Klose to Win (-137)
Prop leans: None

Alessandro Costa v Kevin Borjas
Alessandro Costa is a very flawed fighter. Good skills across the board, but the guy’s volume is so, low. I bet against him when he faced Steve Erceg, and that was most of the reason.
He faces Kevin Borjas, who we don’t know much about other than he isn’t as good of a striker than Joshua Van…which doesn’t tell us much at all. He did win a round in that fight, but that’s because Van is a bit of a slow starter and will take some time to get going.
I didn’t do tape on this one because I’m still kind of unsure about Borjas, and the betting line kind of reflects that the books don’t either. He’s a non-committal underdog at +110, where the books think he’s inferior but they don’t believe it with any degree of confidence. That sounds about right to me.
I just hope Costa wins this one so I might get another opportunity to fade him in the future.
How I line this fight: I didn’t tape but it looks about right to me.
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

Dione Barbosa v Ernesta Kareckaite
I lost money on Kareckaite’s DWCS fight, in what was brilliant demonstration of why you really shouldn’t bother betting or researching that show. Ernesta basically followed the blueprint I thought Judice was going to use, almost like I’d gotten the fighters the wrong way around. Super high variance when they’re so green.
And we’ve got more green-ness here. Both women have less than 10 professional fights. Barbosa is a -225 underdog. I’d blindly fade that if you had to bet on this fight. Otherwise I’d leave it alone. Take it as an opportunity to learn more about them for next time.
How I line this fight: Don’t know, didn’t tape

Joanderson Brito v Jack Shore
Banger. This is potentially the most exciting fight on the card, as you have to really high skilled grapplers facing off against one another.
I am convinced that Joanderson Brito is quite overrated. He’s so explosive and dangerous, that it actually makes up for some pretty significant flaws. He’s an awful minute winner, and any opponent that is able to stay safe against him is likely going to win on the scorecards. He has bulldozed three opponents in R1, shown a moment of brilliance against Jonathan Pearce, and been out-hustled by Bill Algeo. That shows a 4-1 UFC record, but all I see is a guy who has actually lost more minutes in the UFC cage than he’s won. I think he’s also getting second hand hype because he beat Diego Lopes on DWCS, and that guy is possibly the most exciting prospect in the UFC right now.
So can Jack Shore stay safe here? Well he’s definitely got the grappling to give it a good go. Just like Jonathan Pearce before him, Shore can use his intense wrestling to stay safe from Brito’s striking. Shore also has good BJJ, which makes me feel confident he can avoid Brito’s opportunistic but ultimately low percentage submission from bottom – at least better than Pearce did.
Obviously the striking is where Brito has a big advantage, and his dangerousness will certainly show itself there in the early goings. Shore hasn’t really fought any dangerous strikers in his UFC tenure so far, so it’s kind of hard to say how well he will fare in those striking moments.
This is one of those fights where breaking down the betting line from a probability perspective just results in an uncomfortable feeling, however you spin it. Brito has more ways to win and is somewhat of a fan favourite, so I can understand why he has the minus next to his number. However, I can really easily see the path to victory for Jack Shore, and I don’t think it’s crazy to say he could go out there and look like a -300 favourite. But then if I think about making Shore the favourite I’m immediately thinking about how dangerous Brito is and how he could easily look -300 as well! It’s a mind fuck.
At the end of the day, the line is relatively close at the moment. Shore sits around +125 which, given he hasn’t fought for a year and is going up against the flavour of the month, I guess I’m okay with. If Shore moves to +140 or better, I think I’ll have to play him. I think he could easily do what Jonathan Pearce or Bill Algeo did. Brito is a boogeyman who is half the fighter he’s hyped up to be if he can’t find a finish.
How I line this fight: Joanderson Brito -110 (52%), Jack Shore +110 (48%)
Bet or pass: Pass, for now
Prop leans: Brito ITD probably the best looking prop available, Jack has too many paths

Elves Brener v Myktkbek Orolbai
Man, what does Elves Brener have to do to catch a break!? Dude steps into the UFC (possibly on short notice?) and gets a win as a massive underdog against Tukhugov, then pulls off another upset against Guram Kutateladze. His opponent pulls out of his third fight and they give him a guy with a 15-1 record. Now he’s 3-0 and you’d finally think they start to give him the chance to build up some hype…but then they go and book him against Myktkbek Orolbai!
For those who haven’t seen Orolbai’s debut against Uros Medic last year, it was definitely one of the best debuts of 2023. He stuck to the Serbian like glue and, despite some persistent get ups, managed to find the submission relatively easily in what was a dominant performance.
Unfortunately, that fight was so one-sided that we don’t really know anything else about Orolbai at this level, as his other recent bouts took place on LFA against guys with 18-14 and 10-7 records.
With no further relevant info, there are too many gaps to form an opinion on Orolbai. What I will say is that Elves Brener has continued to play spoiler so far in his UFC career and continues to be underrated by the books despite that. Does he deserve to be around +200 here? Only if Orolbai is the real deal.
We will get our answers, but there’s no reason to put money on this fight. Anyone who does is putting blind faith in nine minutes of dominance against a Serbian on the mat…or they’re just chatting shit.
How I line this fight: Impossible to say

Prop leans: None

Jean Silva v William Gomis
On the subject of underrated fighters, William Gomis features in our next bout. The Frenchman has a very underrated style, one that isn’t going to grab all the highlights or get him clamouring for a main event, but it’s still a very useful one inside the cage. He’s well-rounded, has great kicks to compliment a very technical striking style that goes well with his long frame. I was made first aware of Gomis when he dismantled the overhyped Cage Warriors prospect Tobias Harila. He was calm amongst the chaos, and put in a really professional performance that likely got the ball rolling to eventually earn him a UFC contract. The experience from that fight will serve him well here.
He faces Jean Silva, a very explosive Brazilian that trains with Caio Borralho’s Fighting Nerds. We saw him most recently when he obliterated the vastly inferior Westin Wilson – God knows how that kid got asked to come to the UFC. And they’re giving him a third fight. Really is an embarrassing company at this point.
Before that we saw Silva go 15 minutes on DWCS, and his style looks a lot less impressive when he can’t find a finish. There wasn’t much investment in striking fundamentals, everything was a big action with fight ending intentions. That’s all good when you’re fighting Westin Wilson who blocks punches with his face, but what about when you’re facing a talented kickboxer who prioritises defence and range management? I could very easily see Silva hitting air for 15 minutes.
So I think the line is the wrong way around here, and that William Gomis has the potential to win this one quite comfortable if he can play the matador game. Whilst that sounds like I am gearing up to bet him, I’m actually going to pass on this one currently. He’s only at +110 so it’s not like he’s at a clear underdog price, and considering he’s not the explosive fighter that’s going to be chasing the finish and doing the damage, I think he’s got more of a job to do to impress the judges. Furthermore, we are obviously in Brazil where I think the crowd can certainly emphasise the work that Silva does, which may twist the judges’ arm a bit more.
So there’s value on Gomis, but not enough to warrant a bet. It’s a reluctant pass for me. If there’s major line movement I might play Gomis at like +150, but I doubt it goes that far.
How I line this fight: Jean Silva +120 (46%), William Gomis -120 (54%)
Bet or pass: Pass, unless the line moves.
Prop leans: None

Karolina Kowalkiewicz v Iasmin Lucindo
If Craig v Borralho was a nice gift for me as a bettor, this is possibly my worst nightmare. I’m probably one of KK’s biggest fans, and Iasmin Lucindo is a prospect I am very high on. I bet on these women pretty much every time I can, and I think I’ve actually won money on both Moneylines and Method of Victorys in every fight they’ve both had since I started posting here.
If you read my stuff every week, you’ll know Karolina is my girl. Genuinely my favourite fighter. But I think this is the wake-up call she and I knew was coming eventually. KK’s resurgence has been such an inspiring journey, from getting absolutely brutalised, struggling badly with her mental health, taking the time off and coming back to string together four wins on the trot. That post-fight interview against Herrig was one of my favorite interview moments in UFC history.
But, having said all that, the UFC have been really kind to her. They’ve given her competitive fights that she is capable of winning if she keeps herself together…but Diana Belbita, Vanessa Demopoulos, Silvana Gomez Suarez, and Felice Herrig are certainly a lower calibre within WMMA who have already shown us their ceiling. Iasmin Lucindo is a completely different fighter.
Lucindo is a prospect, pure and simple. She’s got great striking, and great BJJ. I said when she fought Jauregui in her debut that these two could easily meet again in the top 5 of the division in a few years time, and I think her sophomore performance against Polyana Viana showed that (I bet her quite heavily in that one). Viana’s trash and it was the perfect matchup for her, but there’s reason to believe that this one could be too.
Kowalkiewicz’s resurgence has relied on her fighting opponents that mostly want to strike, and even if not, the wrestling of these women has been at a level she could handle…I don’t expect that to be the case against Lucindo. Iasmin has an advantage in speed, and age/youthfulness as 16 years the junior. We know that plays a massive part in fights, and I expect it to here. Karolina isn’t particularly good on the mat if those takedowns, but we just haven’t seen it for some time. If Lucindo gets top time, I think she probably manouvres her way to a submission with relative ease.
Of course, this one is much more competitive if they choose to strike, as Karolina’s got the right blend of determination, volume, and technique to keep any B grade or lower striker honest over the course of three rounds. Lucindo’s not the most amazing striker I have ever seen, but I also don’t expect her to be outclassed by Kowalkiewicz either. In WMMA, if you don’t have a unique striking style such as power or suffocating pressure (which neither girl has), then there’s only so much you can really do at this level to separate yourself as the superior striker. If they fight 100 rounds on the feet, I wouldn’t expect either woman to win more than 65 of the 100 times.
So that’s the key bit of information when looking at the betting line here. I know Lucindo deserves to be a significant favourite, due to youthfulness and a style that finally doesn’t actually suite her Polish opponent…but Karolina is sound enough to easily make this one competitive. If Lucindo doesn’t show a significant urgency or even desire to shoot takedowns, or if Karolina can stuff them, then this one looks much closer to a 50/50ish fight on the feet.
Whilst that sounds like I’m leaning towards playing my girl Karolina Kowalkiewicz, I’m unfortunately not. It’s impossible to really say how much success Lucindo is going to have with her takedown attempts here, so I can’t clearly quantify how much of a favourite she could be. If she can land them with ease, she might look -500. If she can’t land them at all, she could look +100. Compared to the -300 betting line we are getting, that definitely sounds like a pass. If you’re someone who likes to bet on every fight for the fun of it, a roll of the dice on Kowalkiewicz definitely isn’t the worst idea.
However, I will be keeping an eye out for that Lucindo by Submission prop. I doubt I’d get a good line on it with her being -300, but there’s always a chance the books get caught napping because it’s WMM and they expect a decision. We’ll see, I’d probably take +200 or better.
How I line this fight: Iasmin Lucindo -200 (66%), Karolina Kowalkiewicz +200 (33%)
Bet or pass: Pass on the ML, might bet Lucindo by Submission if I get a nice price (I’m talking +225 or better)

Mauricio Ruffy v Jamie Mullarkey
Mauricio Ruffy has won all of his professional fights via KO, and has fought quite a few cans in his day. He is the -160 favourite and is obviously very undeserving of that price tag against a guy with a decent amount of UFC experience.
Jamie Mullarkey is very unreliable, has bad fight IQ, and just generally isn’t very good. Dude lost a striking fight to Michael Johnson and got KO’d by Nasrat Haqparast – two things I thought were very hard to do in this day and age.
Pick your poison. Or don’t, and just be smart and leave this fight alone.

Prop leans: None

Ismael Bonfim v Vinc Pichel
Ismael Bonfim returns from what was originally a massive upset at the hands of Benoit Saint Denis last July, but thankfully for him the Frenchman’s performances since have helped that result age well, as he elevated himself to prospect status and faced Poirier.
I was sadly all aboard the Ismael Bonfim hype train, as I deemed his debut win over Terrance McKinney as arguable the debut of the year for 2023. McKinney’s actually been fraud checked a fair bit since then so that win has coincidentally aged badly on the reverse. Nonetheless, I still think this Bonfim is good and will eventually turn into a top 15 fighter (not like his brother, an overrated fraud that I faded against Nicholas fucking Dalby).
Either way, the UFC are trying to run the Ismael Bonfim hype back again by pitting him against a 40 year old Vinc Pichel, who they’re probably just looking to get off the books as he likely has a contract that pays far more than he’s worth (by the 10/10 standard, anyway). Pichel is old but not particularly shop worn due to lack of commitment to his MMA career. He’s a well-rounded guy that always seems to end up in grappling-based fights. He has been competitive with the likes of Mark Madsen, Austin Hubbard, Jim Miller and Roosevelt Roberts in recent years, which kind of paints the picture that he’s capable but limited.
I think it’s fair to assume that Ismael Bonfim really should have Pichel covered here. He’s the way more dangerous fighter, and will be the one having moments of success where he threatens to finish. Outside of some sort of massive cardio dump, I think he can either find a finish or competently win 2/3 rounds with relative ease.
He’s -400 on the betting line so the odds clearly reflect that. I definitely wouldn’t be interested in playing him at that number, seeing as he’s returning from a massive setback and may not be the same as he once was. I could see him winning via all three potential methods of victory, so I’m not really sure a bet is possible here.
How I line this fight: Ismael Bonfim -400 (80%), Vinc Pichel +400 (20%)

2024.04.28 20:51 stlatos Pregnant Mountains Shouldn’t Smoke, Silver Shouldn’t Fly

Kloekhorst translated part of a fragmentary story of the god Kumarbi in 2016 in an attempt to fit it into the loose cycle of Hittite myths (now called the Kumarbi Cycle). In part, “The mountain Wāšitta smoked, and all the mountains came to see her. All the mountains began speaking to Wāšitta: ‘Wāšitta! Why have you smoked? From childhood onwards you do not know smoking. The Fate-goddesses have not written it out for you, and your mother has not given birth to it for you’.” She says that Kumarbi slept with her (implying that he impregnated her, though the rest is damaged). This resembles the proverb of the mountain that gave off immense groans and rumbles, yet gave birth only to a mouse. It seems that a volcano erupting might have been likened to a woman giving birth by many groups. Here, though incomplete, it seems clear that Kumarbi’s son will be born when she erupts, likely a version of the better preserved story where he had sex with a stone and fathered the giant Ullikummi. It seems fairly similar to stories of the Sky and Earth personified, as the parents of many gods (often all old or important ones). Trying to fit these stories into context can allow a better understanding of disputed parts.

In the ancient Hittite myth the Song of Silver, the main character, said to be named Silver, is the son of a god. He fought with the gods in heaven, perhaps to become their ruler (by right of birth) or to overthrow them (the complete version hasn’t been preserved). When I first read analysis of this myth, I kept seeing him compared to monstrous offspring of ancient gods. He was basically described as a terrible, disgusting, rampaging monster, born only for a jealous god to get his revenge on his fellows. For example, Kloekhorst wrote in 2016, “The first three of these allies, Hedammu, Ullikummi and Silver, are in fact ghastly creatures that were fathered by Kumarbi with different (sometimes non-human) women.” Hass in 2006 “[he] develops from a bully to a threat to the order of the world: first he beats up his peers, then he threatens his own mother; later he even attacks the gods and threatens the stars, the sun and the moon.” Since I saw no evidence of a monstrous nature or appearance in the parts of the myth that were preserved, I kept looking for reasons why scholars would give such odd conclusions without direct evidence.

Also in 2016, Waal gave a completely different interpretation. Taking a comparative folkloristic approach, he describes other tales in which the main character is clearly a hero but has the same problems as Silver (he has no father living with him, is teased by his peers, beats them up, and threatens his mother to tell him who his father is). This set of events seems to be fairly consistent across a wide range of IE groups and those not currently considered IE. This includes: the Greek myth of Phaethon riding the chariot of his father (the Sun), an allegory from Egypt about Truth who is wrongfully accused of theft by his brother False and therefore blinded (whose son is angry when learning of this and goes on a journey to avenge him), the Persian tragedy of Rustem and his son Sohrab (a reverse-Oedipus), the Hawaiian legend of Laka (Laka is teased by other boys for being fatherless, and sets out to seek his father’s bones), and others (some with less in common with Silver). It is the type of motif that, in folk tales, might be used of a secret son of the king whose mother was sworn to secrecy (and so would not reveal it without threat) or the son of a god who the mother is afraid to reveal (either because the boy will go away to seek a (seemingly impossible to reach) father or other consequences of people knowing (or not believing) it) or many other situations common in fiction. Thus, in his view, he was a fairly normal heroic protagonist, who underwent trials and odd events like many in myths found all around the world. This follows a “Hero’s Journey” of the form:

Ordinary Life
The Boy Shows His Strength
The Boy is Ridiculed
The Boy Asks Who His Father Is
The Boy Sets Out on a Journey

It seems the Kumarbi Cycle, which probably did not form a single story (or a chronological order) orignally, has been wrongly considered as a complete, interconnected story, and conclusions have been prematurely made due to seeing a united theme, etc. That is, if one son of a god had monstrous features, clearly shown by the preserved version of one myth, they assumed they were shared by another even in a wholly separate myth in which the presence was less clear. Anything that could be considered evidence in favor of their view was taken at face value, with no attempt at more careful analysis. In my opinion, many cultures have various versions of myths that are not compatible. Gods and heroes can have one personality in one myth, a totally different set of features in another. Since most myths don’t come from history, no such consistency is needed or possible. Stories change over time based on the beliefs of the tellers. Tales explaining the working of the sun and moon aren’t made only because people thought the sun must be of a certain personality type. If he’s described as eating the stars or moon it’s because of an attempt to understand why they change over the days or months. Describing why the sun is hot, in a separate myth, could give him a completely different set of needs and actions. Trying to see commonality in these would be missing the point.

Considering additional evidence given by James & Van der Sluijs, it is clear that he was not a monstrous abomination that was created to battle the gods, comparable to Greek Typhon or Giants. Since he is compared to Greek Phaethon, in many ways that seem far beyond chance, a similar origin in Hurrian seems likely. It could have originally been a story about why the sun sets in the west (or in the ocean, going out each night as if dying or defeated, depending on the oldest location of the storytellers). A human who aspired to rule the gods or fly the chariot of the sun might be a metaphor for hubris and pride, and being struck down his punishment. Rather than a permanent death, of a character only found in one myth, it could be part of the character of a Sun God. A character who behaves foolishly in one myth and is killed or imprisoned might also be found in others as a brave hero, a god, etc. Having contradictory stories about a god’s birth or death have nothing to do with religion, and even Greek Zeus was said to have a tomb at the time of his worship. Expecting any greater consistency only serves to hinder gaining real knowledge about these stories, and myth and religion in general. Both Silver and Phaethon were perhaps originally war-like sun-gods, or yet another “Son of the Sun”.

His name has been translated as Hurrian Ušhune ‘Silver’. However, the word could have had multiple meanings (very important when considering proper names, especially for those in myths that often retain conservative features). He didn’t have any association with silver or any characteristics that would suggest a reason for the name. Since Phaethon obviously meant ‘shining’ in Greek, a similar origin in Hurrian seems likely. Since even Indo-European often takes both words from the same source, *H2arg^-, like Latin argentum, Greek árguros ‘silver’, argós ‘glistening/white’, Sanskrit árjuna- ‘light/white’, I suggest that the glosses of Hurrian Ušhune ‘Shining’, ušhune ‘silver’ be given. James & Van der Sluijs see their evidence as showing that Silver had a non-IE Near Eastern origin, but Waal’s examples extend all around the world. I do not think these could be retained from an ancient original myth for tens of thousands of years, and requires a relatively recent source. Considering how many similar myths have the same similarities showing need for recent origin, I favor the spread of IE culture by conquest over the past 6000 years or so. A Hurrian origin for this version would not be contradictory in this theory, and there is no proof that the Hurrian language itself is not IE.

2024.04.28 20:50 monstera-attack Ruminating and need perspectives

Even a yes or no answer would help me. Posting to get perspectives please because my brain is ruminating again and I need to know I’m not crazy for thinking he was wrong in the head. For TL;DR, please skip to the bullet points.
Some context, I 28F was broken up with a few weeks back by my ex 26M. This came one month after I broke up with him and got back together with him after a week of NC (see below for reason). We were only together 6 months. I am considering this most recent break up to be final and do not expect to ever hear from him again.
The reason behind my first break up was because he decided to convert to Islam and completely invalidated and disregarded my feelings on the matter, telling me to ‘mind your business’, stop asking ‘stupid questions’ and treating me just like ‘everyone else’ who had opinions on what he was doing (most notably, his mum, who he has a rocky relationship with and I think sometimes projected these feelings onto me). He went so cold, like talking to a stranger.
As above, we decided to try again a week later as I was hung up on him and thought maybe he was in mental distress and with better communication we would be able to ride it out. In hindsight I shouldn’t have gone back. We then had one week of being almost normal, happy to be back in each other’s company, before he suddenly grew cold and distant, said he had rushed things, and told me he needed time. I, thinking that maybe he was FA/DA, said I understood and would give him whatever time he needed but that I also wanted to communicate with him and talk it through. So followed a few weeks of feeling cast out and as if I was being punished, seeing him online yet being ignored, him responding in short sentences and being cold, with little affection. He stopped telling me he loved me apart from on my birthday and would message without emotion. He would send me songs with lyrics about lovesickness or sex, however. Bit of a mindfuck not knowing how he thought about me.
This culminated in me telling him we needed to talk and then him saying there was nothing to talk about, ‘no problem’ and that he was ‘literally just fearful of me leaving again for some (his words) random reason’ (hmm). I can understand that I opened a door that was hard to close but this was only due to his invalidating behaviour in the first place. I was then more open and honest with him about how I was feeling, although held back that bit above about it being his fault in the first place (eggshells). He seemed to come around a bit and become more talkative and marginally more affectionate.
However, he also started to become more like a stranger in other ways. He became more snappish and irritable, most notably responding harshly “NO FEMALE SINGERS” when I sent him 2 happy summery songs with female singers, then refusing to explain why and making it into my fault when I called him out on it saying I always dragged things like this out and he ‘ain’t got time for that’. He said it was because all women sounded the same to him now (wtf) but know it was because he must be following some repressive form of Islam where it’s haram to listen to women sing. He became less sweet and more selfish than normal, wrapped up in himself and also seemingly less grown up and more childish than he once was, as if he had regressed. He would say things to me and then be like ‘I wanted to make you angy [sic] but you’re too logical’.
The reason behind the second break up was his choice; I told him it made me sad when he didn’t ask me how I was or how my day was going. This was in the morning on Eid Wednesday. He BLEW up at me, said I was manipulating him and was always the ‘fucking problem’ for bringing things up when they were irrelevant, and I was the kind of person that if he gave me his hand I would take his whole arm. Ouch. I just wanted to feel cared about and valued. He said he ‘would not do this’ and had lost his ‘peace with me’, and broke up with me by saying I clearly wasn’t over my ex and needed to do more healing, left me with a ‘I do still love you though but this is the last time you’ll ever speak to me’.
(For reference, the ex in question was 10 yrs ago and although it was bad, I went to therapy and am very much over it. I’m calling projection on his part because he was cheated on by his last serious girlfriend and I’m thinking it really messed with his head).
I am thinking he was narcissistic.
A list of the traits I noticed: - Self obsessed, all conversations would be about him, his day, his past, or what he wanted to do. - Egotistical and talked himself up (I saw it as confidence at first, then as insecurity) - Selfish in some ways, not in others - Told me he would ‘not change’, this was who he is and he was never gonna be any different (I was a fool for believing otherwise) - I am big on questions but he really wasn’t, so it was mostly me asking him stuff about himself without much/any reciprocation on his part unless I specifically asked him to. He told me he only had a “certain number of questions” and he wanted to “save them for me” in person. Huh - Bad at timekeeping, would leave me waiting on his call or sometimes fall asleep, leaving me not feeling like a priority - Always said he needed to get out of the city and get away from people, wanted to live a life in the countryside - Could be kind of manic, almost? Would make grand statements and snap decisions about what he was gonna do, like religion, like moving house - Very intense about the things he believed in - I don’t think he could be introspective, he rarely accepted blame or apologised. for big things (aka something more than n being late or falling asleep before calling me etc) did it twice in my counting. - Went hard on the rushing things early on. We said I love yous about a month in. He said we had the kind of connection where he knew he would marry me one day and that he just knew it when he met me - Would say things like ‘I will not do this’, ‘I do not have time for this’, ‘naaa I’m not gonna be treated like this’ whenever we would have a disagreement (which by the way, I was always diplomatic and polite during, perhaps too polite and respectful of his feelings at the cost of my own). - Estranged from his family, lived alone. Still saw them at Christmas but would block his mother regularly from arguments. Had friends but could be negative about them - Extremely sensitive to rejection or perceived rejection (had ADHD though so this could also be Rejection Sensitivity?) - Threw things back in my face if we had disagreements or arguments. Felt DARVO’d, honestly. Always felt like the enemy to him if we argued. - Said he never felt like he was good enough for me this was a BIG one he often came back to - Often negative and cold if you upset him, so so cold. Cut people out of his life as if they were dead to him, he didn’t want to try and understand them or reconcile, and told me as much when I first started speaking to him. I guess I always knew I’d be one of those people some day but it was so good to feel special whilst it lasted - He NEVER put me down, only via the invalidation of my feelings over the Islam thing and at the end when he broke up with me and said I needed to heal. He always told me he was proud of me, that I was beautiful and meant the world to him (didn’t fffing show it though by asking about my day did heeeee) - Very good at sharing, and actually very generous! Loved animals and children and was really good with them - Incredibly alluring, kind and charming when he wanted to be. Cheeky, great sense of humour, very passionate. Could be incredibly romantic, very kind, respectful, understanding and reassuring about my vulnerabilities and insecurities. Told me that when I first broke up with him, it was like when someone had died and he couldn’t come to terms with it. And really, all this is what’s fucked me up the most >.< because I miss THESE parts of him like hell
Any advice or thoughts on whether I was with a narcissist or not are appreciated. I personally feel like he was a covert Narc but I’m in that weird fucked up rumination time where I don’t have any answers and I just wish I could talk to him to get them - I know I can’t though and even if I could it wouldn’t help.
Thank you
