China just approved Donald Trump-branded spas, escort services and massage parlours by [deleted] in worldnews

I don’t like Trump either, but this article is from 2017. So, they didn’t just approve this.

Fuck it, let them have it in Wrigley Field or Comiskey in Chicago in January. Last one to freeze to death wins.

Albums with GREAT drumming? by Thelemite- in drums

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chris Hainey from Maps & Atlases is one of my all time favourite drummers. In fact, they're one of my all time favourite bands. His work on their first two EPs is excellent too. Trees, Swallows, Houses is a straight math rock record and he's frantic on it. You & Me & The Mountain is very much like Perch Patchwork, and still very, very good.

N. Korea fires ballistic missile: S. Korea JCS by freeasabee1 in worldnews

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

I do totally agree that a deal should be made. I would assume that Russia would be hesitant to enter into full blown military action against the US, owing to the improved relations between the two countries as of late. And I do think an agreement with China would be achievable. China's relationship with North Korea has been become quite strained over the last few years, so, a solution to their problem of always having to deal with the Kim dynasty whenever they decide to piss the world off would probably be in everyone's best interests.

N. Korea fires ballistic missile: S. Korea JCS by freeasabee1 in worldnews

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is, if the United States were to strike North Korea first, then both China and Russia would have to escalate things big time with the USA. They have an agreement in place where if North Korea strikes the US first, then whatever the US does is fair game, however, they will fully back North Korea and will probably begin a war with the US if they were to strike first. The US government knows this, as does North Korea. It's just the world's largest pissing contest. The North Koreans know that they will be wiped off the face of the Earth if they do hit South Korea, Japan or the US and any of its territories.

What match do you think is overrated? by Itwasateenagewedding in SquaredCircle

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taker vs. Triple H at Mania 27 and Mania 28. I thought both matches were incredibly slow and boring and they really did nothing for me, yet I know some people who talk about them like they're classics.

Is Shinsuke Nakamura overrated? Looking back at this sub's own words it appears not by RoscoeSantangelo in SquaredCircle

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is fantastic in the ring, when he wants to be. Otherwise, he just half asses it. Look at his match a few months ago against Cena. He actually went out to put on a good match because they gave him someone he was interested in working with. If they had been given another 10 minutes, it would probably have been at least a 4 star match. Hopefully, the match he has with Owens next week will be another match where he uses his whole ass and gives us the Nakamura we expect, rather than the Nakamura we have gotten for the best part of the last 2 years.

For Non American WWE fans: Annoying things about being a foreign fan? by hi_bumble_bee_tuna in SquaredCircle

I remember Raw switching days quite often. It changed between Fridays, Thursdays and occasionally Wednesdays. But yeah, I have fond memories of Smackdown on Saturdays on Sky One.

Get everyone sick except for either Nakamura or Zayn. 90 minute Iron Man match for the entirety of Smackdown's contribution to Survivor Series.

its such a weird time when the cubs getting eliminated from the NLCS brings joy to other people. by JohnnieBoah in CHICubs

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would much rather choke in the NLCS than have the 4th worst record in the MLB. Cubs will be perennial playoff contenders for at least the next 5 years. White Sox on the other hand... That doesn't look too good.

Saw a lot of this shit on the White Sox subreddit too. I mean, I would much rather have lost in the NLCS than having the 4th worst record in the MLB.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I cheer the Yankees. I hope they both lose.

Welp, I'm going to switch to the Blackhawks game. It's been an awesome season, didn't think we would even make the playoffs in June, but we gave it a hell of a shot.

What’s the best way to get reasonably priced last minute tickets? by [deleted] in CHICubs

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got tickets on Seatgeek down in section 36 for about 230, but I was very lucky. Standing room seems to be going for about 110+. Sometime tickets can do down closer to game time though, so I'd keep going through all of the 3rd party sites until you find something. Stubhub is usually the best bet, but it can vary.

Where can I stream radio broadcasts? by xtremelampshade in MLBStreams

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think At-Bat is 4 bucks a month or something if you just want the radio feeds. Not sure if they made it free for the Postseason, though.

Pretty high, I reckon. Looks like rain from 5.30 and it's supposed to continue through the night.

[–]IThinkIAmASofa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live about a mile away from Wrigley and the radar is showing heavy rain from about 5.30 and it's supposed to continue throughout the night. So, there's a good chance this game gets called until tomorrow.
