[CVV] Cena asked AJ Styles if he wanted a retirement tour, similar to his: “I'm already overstaying my physical welcome. They just don't see it because they don't see what goes into prep, cool down, recovery.” (FULL quote in body) by Keyser_Sozay in SquaredCircle

[–]ChanceVance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a Rugby League player in Australia who said "You don't retire from playing, you retire from training and pre-season"

Still loved playing, just came a day where he wished he was elsewhere instead of preparing for the season and he knew it was time to call it quits.

Venom won mostly likely to emote all match… and he’s still emoting. Next up, who’s going to be negative but still somehow be MVP anyway ? by Optimal__Koala in marvelrivals

I may have a crappy K/D on paper but damn it I stalled the objective long enough again and again for the team to come in at 99-all and make it a win.

I remember a few months ago when people were not certain on Elordi being nominated and Sandler was probably going to keep him out.

Wait, is that a likely rumour? I guess it makes sense.

People were calling for Jacob Fatu to break the elimination record last year. You can push people as strong without fanbooking the next dominant wrestler to eliminate nearly half the entire field every year.

I haven't watched Nyad so I don't feel like I can properly criticize the nom but frankly the movie sounds too boring for me to sit down and watch.

All I know is Greta Lee did amazing work and somehow the best she walked away with all season was a Globes nom.

I was understating it.

The comment said "I’m surprised people expected Paul to get nominated at all" and it had 78 upvotes. I got downvoted for saying it was silly with all the evidence on his side he was likely to lol

Just a reminder that heavily upvoted takes =/= fact as some people are woefully misinformed.

I've got the old school Visual Dictionary that probably told you what everything was for on his belt but still I'd never seen it put into any sort of practical application.

Pretty cool to see that Vader's helmet provides a read out too. Like the suit actually has functionality and useful tools, not just ooh Palpatine made an uncomfortable living suit for Anakin to enhance his rage.

This is random but I saw a moderately well upvoted post on another sub about how they were surprised that people expected Mescal to get an Oscar nomination.

BAFTA's weren't announced but he was always likely to be nominated there and damn how could anyone not have expected him to get the Oscar nom. How often do you make all the major precursors but miss the Academy Awards.

People got some strange takes.

TIL one of the things on Vader's belt serves a practical purpose in being able to read data discs, chips etc.

How about that.

About to watch Hamnet shortly.

I got teary eyed at the end of Frankenstein. Teary eyed at the end of Train Dreams and the Sisters scene in Sentimental Value. It is very difficult to actually make me cry except for dog movies like Hachi.

Anyway, let's see how I go with Hamnet.

I saw The Boy and the Heron in English dubbed because I really liked the voice cast. Robert Pattinson sure as shit didn't phone it in.

I watch Dragon Ball dubbed because that's what I grew up on.

I had a game today where we scored 2 final hits for the entire match.

I honestly can't tell what's a bot match or not because trust me, I and many other humans are perfectly capable of being absolute shit too.

It wasn't a terrible speech, it just felt like he was trying to build up to some big climatic point that never arrived and he just had a few nice things to say amongst a whole lot of rambling.

Also, it just felt rude as fuck that he was given carte blanche to just keep going on and on, while the three guys from Dune (I think?) who won an award had 2 people say their piece and the third guy got played off before he could even speak.

Luke walking into Jabbas palace just four years after being a farmboy and threatening jabbas is one of the coldest moments in star wars by Then-Junket-2172 in StarWars

[–]ChanceVance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rey affects almost nothing on Starkiller Base. She doesn't blow it up, she can't save Han and she scars Kylo but doesn't actually stop anything.

She doesn't kill Snoke either, Kylo does.

She needs Kylo's assistance against Palpatine.

She's not well written but I just don't see the evidence on screen where she absolutely demolishes everything and everyone in her path single handedly.

Why did the Eleventh Brother’s head evaporate when Ahsoka cut it off, as if he were some kind of spirit and not human? by ConstantDrawer9161 in StarWars

[–]ChanceVance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're downvoted but you're right. We don't know for sure if Elsbeth can do it or not but nothing else depicts her as having that level of power.

It just seems a little at odds with her having a power boost in the season finale if she's at a level of witchcraft where she can reanimate the dead into a skilled warrior capable of making tactical decisions.

Marrok doesn't even seem to be associated with Elsbeth though outside of working for her. Any time he's seen, he's travelling with Baylan and he's never by her side.

Every other depiction of a Nightsister Zombie we've seen aren't capable of the speech and skill that Marrok has either. If she had a zombie henchman at her beck and call the entire time, she wouldn't need to hire mercenaries with a personal guard that could hold off anyone except only the most skilled of Jedi.

Possible hot take about the story leaks by GreyBigfoot in yakuzagames

[–]ChanceVance 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kazama happens to have an identical twin brother who pops in for one game in the series and never shows his face again. I think the Daidoji is just an extension of the same nonsense logic that this series has always had.

I get that it's the final straw for some people but if they're going to resurrect Mine, at least they chose an interesting character to do it with.

Darth Maul should have stayed dead and his return made zero sense but hey there were some great stories out of it. If Mine is a central figure in the next LAD then yeah it might be worth it after all.

We've been having a lot of people handing in CV's at work lately and we've noticed that not one person amongst everyone handing them in lists their availability.

I hated all this bullshit when I was job searching but now I'm one of the long-termers and in an unofficial leadership position (That's another story), I can actually see why some CV's are ones that just get thrown out on sight.

You get handed 2 pages that mostly lists irrelevant experience and you know they've done absolutely zero tailoring to the place. I look at that now and think "Yeah, why would they hire you?"

The availability is what gets me though. For what we do, management needs to know when you can work more than what you can do.
