>The reason for Treacy's stance? It's not that he doesn't agree that MMA is a sport like some others. It's that there is no governing body for the sport in Ireland. For football read the FAI, for gaelic games read GAA, for golf read GUI, for rugby - the IRFU. Each sport in Ireland must have a governing body to be recognised under Sports Ireland and be in line to receive grants and funding.

what NOW weebs

UFC isn't a sport under any definition regardless since it's a self regulated for profit private company. It's a private entertainment company simulating sport similar to WWE.

>an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
you're wrong doe

it not being seen as a sport """officially""" because of such things is irrelevant to what we're talking about

Sure, and competing to wank into a bucket first is a sport in the loose sense.

besides the UFC isn't the sport itself, MMA is, UFC is the body through which the sport is organized and MMA is actually recognized as a sport in the US officially

if you were to boil it down it would be, and the only reason you wouldn't see it as such is your subjective perspective of that sport as one requiring less skills/skills you "disagree" with

>doe

>competing to wank into a bucket first is a sport in the loose sense.
The sport of kings.

MMA has the capacity to be a sport with correct regulation and a not for profit body, correct.
The reason why I don't see UFC or McGregor as participating in a sport is because of the for profit nature of the controlling body. We have no idea if fights are fixed similar or scripted similar to entertainment fighting and there would be no consequence to UFC other than their reputation if they were. The point of a not for profit regulatory body is as a safety net to preserve the integrity of a sport against financial gain or any other motives. UFC doesn't have that so who knows how genuine it is, it might be or it might not.

though sounds stricter than doe which fits the sense I was using the word in better
>not allowing languages to evolve
since when does integrity determine whether a sport is a sport you john o'god, for all you know there's big men pulling a variety of little strings behind the scenes of every popular sport out there to determine an outcome, whether it be football or rugby or whatever

>though sounds stricter than doe which fits the sense I was using the word in better

No.

Yuh.

Lovely hot day outside. 19 degrees. Needs to be hotter desu

eircom keeps resetting my modem
fuck sake

Ah sure then it would be too hot.

Want to go on holidays

But you'll only end up back in Ireland though.

I know.

How are you supposed to be happy in life?

Get off Sup Forums
Find something you really like and get invested in it.

Visualise a scenario where you could enjoy your day and feel satisfied with your life. Plot and plan what needs to happen or change in your life to achieve that vision. Happiness is achieved through achieving those small targets from the sense that your journey is getting you closer to your dream. Whether you ever reach the dream or not is irrelevant.

If you can't visualise such a scenario then you've reached a point of depression where the very concept of happiness has been lost to you.

>If you can't visualise such a scenario then you've reached a point of depression where the very concept of happiness has been lost to you.

I'm content woth having a decent job to pay for an apartment where I can live alone for the rest of my life.
Is that happiness?
I'm not so sure.

I've already pursued and achieve this but I'm still unhappy and now only visualize happiness in the form of unrealistic freedom and being NEET yet still being able to live comfortably.

Not as easy as it was 40 years ago.

Glad it's nice and cloudy here. You can fuck off back to Africa if that's what you want.

>now only visualize happiness in the form of unrealistic freedom and being NEET yet still being able to live comfortably.
Know that feel desu. The concept of happiness has become incredibly abstract to me in recent years.

Suppose suicide is the only option now.

I don't think all of Sup Forums is as bad as certain segments. I would say generals like this, Sup Forums or /r9k/ are the absolute worst places to frequent for your mental health. Those places are filled with the hobbyless depressed and an environment which encourages them to self-reflect on their misery and share hatred, scorn and jealousy on the lives and decisions of others.
At least in places like Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, /fit/ there is a focus on an actual hobby. Even if everyone there is cynical or negative they're still united out of passion for something they care about. A love of something other than schadenfreude.
The previous places I mentioned, including this general are just bottomless pits for hatred and negative emotion. You'll never find satisfaction here.

I have no friends, I can't socialize with anyone.
/éire/ is not much but it's somewhat a remedy for these problems.
I hope you understand.

The normie advice for this would be to change your surroundings or travel the world. Take yourself out of your comfort zone to try and find out what really matters to you and what motivates you in life.

Had a great dream where I was down the lake and there was a very pretty building all along the shoreline. Very big and lots of stained glass windows, think it was a convent or something. It was also in central Russia which happened to be in space very close to Jupiter. It was beautiful.

Much better than the dream where my brother tried to convince me The Lord of Rings ended in some bullshit way.

For venting? If you say you can't socialise successfully with anyone do you include people here in that?

>Take yourself out of your comfort zone to try and find out what really matters to you and what motivates you in life.
Have already done and achieved this. Still lost and tired of this work culture planet.
I come here because I have no common interest or passions such as Sup Forums or /tg/.

>The previous places I mentioned, including this general are just bottomless pits for hatred and negative emotion
Yet it's the only place where many of us can find people that we can relate to.

>not being manic master race
>not crossing between feelings of beautiful intense joy and hopeless depression

>For venting?
No, I use /r9k/ for that.
/éire/ for discussion in general.

True but for every person most relate to here there's another 2 or 3 who'd happily condemn you as worthless or advise you to kill yourself.

>Take yourself out of your comfort zone to try and find out what really matters to you
Not disappointing my parents.

>what motivates you in life.
Not disappointing my parents.

>Work 45 hours a week.
>Skilled profession.
>Only earning €550 per week.

Why bother anymore?

I find it strange that you have no interests. In an imaginary scenario where you won the lottery what would you do with your day? It sounds like you dislike the commitments expected with work but that you wouldn't know what to do with your life without it.

But it's easy to ignore those people.

Chill on some nice sunny island with nothing but listening to music, eating food and the internet.
I also like to look at the sea, the stars and nature and space out. It's too hard to do that here though. It's cold and uncomfortable outside.

*bumps you*

wat do?

Even so, how much do you think people here care about you? How many want to get to know you or be your friend and how many want to use you to bounce their grief and stress off in the hope of getting some reassurance back?
The endless trade of anxiety for validation feels pointless after a while.

>Even so, how much do you think people here care about you?
I don't expect them to care about me.

>The endless trade of anxiety for validation feels pointless after a while.
It feels good to talk to people who are in a similar boat to yourself - they can understand and relate where others can't.

It doesn't feel any better earning more than that. You still have no time to enjoy it and nothing to spend it on to make your life better in a meaningful way.
I wish working 20 hours a week was more viable, I could still live happily on €250 a week if I needed to.

I wouldn't be able to afford to live on €250 a week. Living on €500 a week is barely passable these days.

It's easily doable outside of Dublin.

I still don't understand how a child could get this fucking whipped to their parents.

I live on €0 a week.

>Not disappointing my parents.
If they're parents worth that degree of compassion then they'll be proud of you however you want to live your life.

Is it wrong for one to want their parents to be proud of them? I don't think I've done anything commendable since secondary school.

I've no doubt that they love me despite my fuck-ups, but I don't know if I've done much to make them proud.

>Is it wrong for one to want their parents to be proud of them?
No but it's wrong to have unreasonable expectations for yourself and justify them by claiming they're your parents'. Unless your parents are upper class cunts then I doubt they have any real expectations for you.

Yeah but you'll be left with almost zero disposable income.

>wife
You mean partner in sin.

Ever dream of becoming homeless in some isolated warm place where nobody would ever find you?

I prefer the term hermit. And yes, but I'd prefer it to cold, windy and wet, like one of those remote islands off the coast where an otter would feed me.

>Ever dream of becoming homeless in some isolated warm place where nobody would ever find you?
If it's a dream, why would I be homeless?

I always imagine I have a log cabin in the woods.

People who like the cold and wet are the kind who never actually go out in it for more than 30 minutes. You'll be shot first when I'm in charge.

Fuck off back to Nigeria if you love your disgusting heat so much you british faggot.

Once the National Party seizes power all those who don't find 16'C uncomfortably warm shall be deported to Lagos.

Excellent post

What the fuck I love the National Party now!!

Well I assume my parents would want me to be happy (which is a form of expectation since they did their best to give me the best possible upbring), but I'm not exactly succeeding in that front.

Sounds alright, could chill out drinking guinness and watching some sports with the bros.

Nokia 3310s for all!

So you're unhappy because you're failing to live up to your parents' expectations of you being happy?

Where do people actually get these opinions from? Russian gulag for you my friend.

Nah, the unhappiness is largely unrelated to that. Remember, there are the questions I was originally answering:

Because that's more realistic. I'd have to have an endless amount of money to live otherwise.

Gerry on the news lads.

Feeling tired, might go lie down.

>there are people in this general who watch the news

Yes I enjoy keeping up to date with current affairs in our country and abroad.

yes but it's so much effort to go downstairs and put on the telly

>he doesn't have a telly in his room
AHAHA POORFAGS

>doesn't have a telly in every room

Keeping yourself informed is part of being an adult. You'd be humiliated at the water cooler if something like this happened and you showed yourself for not even knowing who the elected leaders of the country are.
I had the same attitude as a child that the news wasn't really relevant to me but part of growing up is accepting the world is bigger than your narrow interests and adults are expected to have a certain basic knowledge of current events.

>Watching scheduled news broadcasts when you can get it at any hour of the day and read through it at your leisure on news websites from the same sources.

>actually putting in effort to find news when it can just be shown at a certain time on your telly everyday
>being this much of a hipster madfag weeb cunt

>typing a url is more effort than being in an exact place at an exact time

No website can deliver the same level of professional quality and broadcasting excellence that you get from RTÉ newsreader Bryan Dobson.

>typing a url

You could always read the article internally in Dobbo's voice.

Or you could watch RTÉ New: Six One and externally hear the one and only voice of Bryan Dobson.

That was a long holiday. Whats going on, boys?

oh yes the durggie is back. By long holiday do you mean the coma you slipped into after you dropped the spoon?
