  • How long can a Ghoul live? by XxBLOODSPILLxX
    r/falloutlore  How long can a ghoul live?
    Most of the ghouls in the Fallout universe are over 200 years old, so I was wondering how long a ghoul could live before it eventually dies on its own

  • How much of an "asterick" does PED use (by era) put in your eyes of a fighters career? by Kmp92
    r/MMA                              
    Hey all,
    With PED detection efforts being at an all-time high under USADA regulation, I think it's a good time to discuss historical PED use in MMA and how much of a black mark (if any) that it causes in your eyes when looking back at fighter's careers (whether the known PED use is from a positive failed test or just glaringly obvious abuse). For purposes of this discussion I've divided the short history of MMA into 5 different categories of competition based on testing efforts:
    - Early UFC days (1993 - 2002). Although no PED tests were taking place at this time, as the sport was becoming regulated under local athletic commissions PED use was banned as a matter of policy.
    - PRIDE era (1997 - 2007). Overlapping with some of the UFC categories below but important to include. No PED tests (with the exception of the 2 Las Vegas events), and in fact PED use was encouraged.
    - Early UFC modernization (2002 - 2009) The first PED tests and failures took place in 2002 and random fight night sampling was becoming commonplace. Suspensions were commonly 6 months to 1 year.
    - Pre-modern UFC (2009 - 2015) The first random tests and failures for upcoming scheduled fights took place in 2009, and this practice was taken up by many commissions. Almost all athletic commissions have adopted fight-night testing and the UFC was performing testing for events with no athletic commissions. Suspensions were typically 9 months to 1.5 years.
    - Modern UFC (2015 - present) The UFC partnered with USADA to implement a robust year-round random testing program for all fighters, including out-of-competition tests. Suspensions vary based on many factors including potency of the PED detected, amount detected, intent (or lack thereof), and if the fighter is a repeat offender. Suspension for a standard PED without proof of being accidental for a first time offender is typically 2 years, but suspension length has varied from 3 months to a lifetime ban.
    I've divided by era above for purposes of including the risk/reward factor of a fighter using PEDs during each time period as I believe this is a very relevant factor (though it may not be in some of your eyes). Give me your thoughts on PED use and how much this discredits fighters' accomplishments, any and all input is appreciated!
    Fun fact Josh Barnett was the first fighter to fail an in-competition test (2002) *and* the first to fail a random pre-fight test (2009) which led to the cancellation of his fight with Fedor and the collapse of Affliction.

  • Security Guards of Reddit, what are some of scariest places/stories you've had to patrol? by JatTrim
    r/AskReddit ////Oh boy... When I was younger I got a job as a security guard. I was 22 and the job market sucked. This was in a major city but I figured they would send me to some factory and I wouldn't have to worry about much.
    Nope they sent me to a low income high crime housing community. When I showed up it was 6pm on a Friday and the housing manager had a list of rules that were to be strictly enforced including, no drinking outside, no playing in the streets no bbqing in any form or fashion.
    So here I am the only white kid in miles expected to keep the streets safe. So I decided to roll into the community and see what's up. The best way to describe what I saw would be the jungle from that movie Training day. Everyone was out drinking playing in the streets cooking food.
    So what did I do ? What anyone would have done really I think. I got out of my car and asked if I could play ball with them. I had some of the best BBQ and drank some beers. I quit the next day.

  • Haunted Stories at DisneyLand? by speyvan93
    r/Disneyland
    I'm just curious if anyone has ever experienced anything odd or scary at Disneyland. I have never experienced any ghost stories but at night on some rides I can't help it but get a weird vibe. I love the place but have heard of many deaths there and parents leaving their children's ashes. Anyone is welcome to comment about creepy stories, deaths, and or personal experiences.

  • Why I hate steroids!!!(rant) by Moneymike05
    r/bodybuilding. Why I hate steroids!!! (Rant)
    Ok so firstly I'm still a bit butthurt so please understand I hold a bias against the juice at the moment.
    I've been training for about 3 years now, I train for strength but consider myself a bodybuilder more than a powerlifter. My friend and training partner who got me into the gym (let's call him 'Josh'), yesterday admitted to me that he is on steroids. Before this I had no problem with juicing, while considering it cheating I understood the benefits and the reason as to why people would do it.
    However I never saw the use of it for me, and took it personally whenever people would say I was on steroids (I get up at 4:30AM, eat shit tasting food and don't drink, to get where I am now and I'm not that fucken big).
    When 'Josh' told me about his use it really pissed me off, I never felt as though he trained as hard, ate as well or was as motivated as I was, yet he was always getting bigger and stronger and telling me what I was doing wrong. Yet he would miss workouts, leave early, eat fast food, drink booze and if you told him he was doing something wrong his response would be 'but I'm bigger and stronger than you'. Josh always denied using roids and I always stood up for him as I trained with him and saw the work and effort he put in, I was convinced he would tell me if he was juicing.
    Now my issue is that I know people who use roids can be bigger than me and not work as hard, yet I then get accused of juicing. I feel as though that takes away from the effort and motivation I have to improve my body. People who juice can not work as hard, not eat as well, have a better body than me and just deny the use then tell people who are natty what to do.
    While I understand why people deny using steroids, it annoys me as they then want to give people who are natty advice as to how to get bigger. I know some people who juice work harder than me and eat right but it annoys me that there are people at my gym who use roids walking around the gym giving advice as though they are natty and are bigger than everyone because they work harder, yet it's the fucken needle in their leg that makes them that big.
    Hope people agree with me on this, but if you don't, feel free to tell me to go fuck myself and why. Rant over, cheers.
