Gossip & Opinions / Re: If you were Ronnie Coleman today
« Last post by Bevo on Today at 10:58:39 PM »
Apparently, you didn't comprehend what I said. My initial statement was that Ray was too small in 1994, according to those judges. He was told he needed to be a bit bigger but keep his proportions; but he never did that in the mid 90s.

And that ties into the whole claim that Ronnie was simply a "dumb" guy who just did what he was told by his nutritionist/guru.

My point was (and remains) that Ronnie was SMART. Unlike Shawn Ray, he took the criticisms from the judges and his nutritionist. He needed to be bigger; he got bigger; he won the Olympia, leap-frogging over all the top guys.....including Shawn Ray.


Actually, Shawn was on record saying he did try to go up in weight, it was just that he couldn’t hold his condition and did worse, I think he went up to 215 at one point which affected his conditioning, so he reverted back to his 205/210 weight

Ronnie is a different beast, his physique and structure allowed him to carry more weight but still, his best was 1998/1999 and Arnold classic 2001
 
2003/2004 although bigger he wasn’t as sharp and unlike many others opinions I didn’t like those two years of Ronnie, massive , yes, and I saw Ronnie all the time in 2003 when he prepped for the O, so I saw his physique in person

I think you are misinterpreting what I mean when I said ronnie is dumb, what I mean is he didn’t even know what gear he was putting inside his body or what foods/carbs/proteins he was doing, he simply was just doing it, and I’m speaking from my encounters with Ronnie in person. I remember a short conversation I heard from him and Gus, the guy that was in his vids, and amateur competitor. Gus asked him something about dosages and Ronnie replied, “I don’t know, whatever Chad has me on and what to do, I just do it.” Does that sound like a smart guy? Haha 😂 Nice guy, yes, very laid back and chill, I give him that

Guys like Dorian and Shawn were meticulous and knew the science , and in and outs of gear, diet, everything. Shawn’s physique and limitations on genetics compared to Ronnie is a moot point, cause that’s out of his control. The guy was 5’7 in the era of mass monsters, there’s nothing he could have done better because he wasn’t made to carry massive amounts of weight no matter what he did. Same for flex wheeler

''As of 2022, updates to the Licence Conditions Policy Framework have significantly tightened the rules regarding online identities for those on a life licence.

Because lifers are subject to standard conditions for the duration of their licence (which lasts for their entire natural life), they are legally required to comply without exception.

Standard licence conditions now expressly requires individuals to tell their Community Offender Manager (COM) of any names they use.

This rule specifically includes temporary pseudonyms and account names used online for social media, forums or other online activities.

Concealing a digital identity violates the mandatory conditions of a life licence.

If a lifer uses a forum anonymously without informing their COM, they are breaching their licence.

This breach triggers an automatic recall warrant, allowing police to return the individual to prison immediately without any further legal proceedings.

Authorities map the username to a specific IP address and device ID via the UK-US Data Access Agreement.

If an "anonymous" poster mentions a specific city, a certain type of crime, or even just match the offender's known vocabulary, that is legally enough to trigger a recall.

Because a recall is an administrative move, not a criminal trial, they only need to be reasonably sure (on the balance of probabilities) that the person behind the username is the offender they supervise''

Blue Owl $OWL is one of the most important players in the AI trade and most people are not paying attention to it.

$OWL is a private credit firm writing billion-dollar checks to finance the actual data center buildout.

When Meta, CoreWeave, or Crusoe need $10B+ to break ground on a campus, they can’t just issue corporate bonds without destroying their credit ratings. So they come to Blue Owl. OWL structures the deal, brings in institutional capital from pensions and insurers, and collects yield on long-duration debt backed by physical assets.

The deals are huge. $27B JV with Meta for the Hyperion campus in Louisiana, a $15B JV with Crusoe for a 1.2GW facility in Texas, and a $5B deal backing CoreWeave’s buildout. They now manage $273B in AUM.

So what’s going wrong?

$OWL is down ~55% over the past year and the firm that finances the AI buildout selling off this hard should raise eyebrows. The companies on the other side of their loans are carrying debt loads that would have been unthinkable two years ago. Oracle is sitting on $105B in debt, up $78B in a single year, just to fund AI campuses that won’t generate returns for years.

The entire structure only works if AI revenue materializes fast enough to service that debt. If it doesn’t, you’re not just looking at a tech correction, you’re looking at a credit event.

Blue Owl recently walked away from Oracle’s $10B Michigan campus over concerns about exactly this. When the firm that profits from saying yes starts saying no, red flags start to appear.

$OWL is a very important stock to watch as the AI buildout continues. The biggest question is whether or not these hyper scalers will be able to generate returns from datacenters and be able to pay back all of this debt.

That is against the tariffs you twat puddle.  They were a direct result and target of this ruling. 

Do you have a fatal allergy to reality?

They didn't rule against tariffs, dipshit. They ruled against using IEEPA as a tool for implementing tariffs (which was incorrect but it is what it is). He can still use tariffs as a bargaining tool through like 4 other methods. Good Lord you're dense
