Unfortunately that is how a great many of my generation and thereafter talk. I don't know who Ryan Garcia is; but saying things like "They can't fuck with me, I'm a God" makes me cringe when I hear it at first.
So you're certainly correct, this all comes off as very abrupt and odd.
However, in another light, it actually lends credibility to his claims to me. I can totally understand if it's something that I can see a little easier and you might miss; again, due to generational differences.
I do think he is communicating as honestly and directly as he knows how, for being his age and with getting bashed in the noggin for a living. I don't want to dismiss him outright simply for his limited ability to recount his experience. Its almost natural to bias ourselves that way and we'd tend to disbelieve those who aren't just some majestic storytellers who have a big vocabulary when they retell events that happened to them.
But does that make sense? Or is it rather a product of our conditioning as children? After all, just because he is swearing and can't give a very detailed picture of his experience - it really has ZERO bearing on whether what he said was true or false. Whereas intelligent and verbose people tend to make better liars and could more easily falsify a supposed accounting of something like this.
You make a good point. I talked to someone the other day who thought CNN was a good legit news outlet, and when I challenged them on it, their response was “but they’re really professional about it, they do a good job right?”
PERCEPTION is everything and they know it. Look at Obama. Well spoken, seemed sincere… they all swallowed it whole.
We’re conditioned to equate quality of communication with quality of truth but that just isn’t so in the real world.
My question is simple.....WHY?? Why snatch some random boxer, tie him up, and take him someplace to watch this? Why? To me, it is not passing the smell test.
Haha, you're right! I definitely should have used the lowercase g, as in "grammar police." 😅
Also I should add that I have now done a quick Google search of this Ryan Garcia bro, and it certainly seems like he is well on his way to being "Kanye'd" which I'm using as a verb, here.
Quick, find some people close to him to state concerns about his mental health! Get his trainer on the phone! The chef needs to put these meds in his breakfast! Switch out his music player for the one we are sending, too!
Agreed. His F this and F that every other word make him sound like he’s off his rocker. Maybe hit to the head to many times, that’s what they’ll say. But I get that some people talk this way, just don’t expect people taking you seriously when you do. This coming from someone who used to talk like this. Very ghetto.
I used to talk like that too. I learned that a lot of people are offended and feel disrespected by profanity. As soon as the bomb leaves my mouth, my message would be automatically severed to the listener. Use profanity with only friends who do the same or emergency moments to force one’s dominance to get something done.
Would be a much stronger testimony without the potty mouth.
if you're more triggered by those words, than the subject material, I'm worried about YOU
Grow up

I've definitely gone too deep here sorry LOL

This takes lowercase g so it isn't blasphemous, just egotistical :)

Yep nothin to see here, folks! 😅🤣
Ha ha nocop, anon
Anything 'wordly', I'm just tossing it out there for fun, for those who are interested
The exception is when some grammar cop goes off on someone—and they're WRONG about whatever word they're pontificating about. They get no slack.
Stuff like "Your ignorant, you should learn spelling and punchuation" sharpens my pencil a bit ;p
👏👏👏 we’ll said!
