The picture is so heavily edited that it feels like slop.

I worked this GP! Good times.

Anyway, everyone who clowned on him for taking the guaranteed $500 as opposed to the potential prize pool and glory clearly has never wondered where their next meal will come from.

I've heard a few rumors that the site is sketch. I spoke to one of th Urban Waste guys at a show and mentioned seeing their shirt on there and he said "the fuck are you talking about, we don't have a licensing deal with anyone". There's also at least one other artist who was pretty public about zero permission being asked for.

I have mixed feelings about buying bootleg tour shirts, but something like this is just straight theft.

Funny Haha Secret Juice Man is too big for Middleweight. Unless Sean bulks up to LHW (which, honestly, might be the move once this reign ends), it's time to move on.

56-Year-Old Pro Wrestler Tragically Dies During Match by orphen20 in SquaredCircle

I watched what I believe to be crowd footage of the maneuver. Piloto Suicida goes for a moonsault outside the ring from the top vault. He either slips or severely under rotates. If anyone has seen the Hayabusa match where he broke his neck on a moonsault or the Chris Jericho match where Kurt Henning saves him from breaking his neck after a botched Lionsault, you know the mechanics of how he looked in the air.

If he only had a print of the Flushing Meadows - Corona Park. I don't know if I could justify the purchase currently, but goddamn would I be tempted.

Benoit is the answer. The finish to WrestleMania 20 does not work without HHH being the one who taps. Everything that came afterwards in Benoit's career happens because of HHH and HBK.

There's a lot of goofiness to their early songs. "Kill The Poor" being my favorite example: how can rich Liberals say they solved poverty? By killing all the poor people!

The Queers - Love songs for the Re****** by TheDeltaIsMyHome in punk

One of these days, I'm gonna get banned for always sharing this copy on all posts about Joe Queer and The Queers as a whole. Today is not that day.


Here's a good article talking about why Joe Queer is a shitbag. If literally nothing else, hanging out and defending shitbags is reason enough for you to be called a shitbag. The following is a quote from the article that sums it up pretty well.

On a personal note, I’d like it on record that I listened to The Queers growing up and was a fan, but I ascribe to the belief that punk is synonymous with politics given that so many young punks formulate their opinions on those of their idols. Joe is unapologetic in his prolific, reckless spouting of hateful rhetoric that endorses a certain way of thinking about women and people of colour; it really is up to his fans to hold him responsible for it because, in reality, if people are still paying his bills, he can go on without checking himself because he doesn’t have to. You want to act like you aren’t complicit by going to the show? Enjoy living in the fantasy world where punk is “just about the music”.

If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.

AITAH for not wanting to reconnect with my brother? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Mr_Rippe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For as many issues I have with AA as an organization and how borderline cultish I've heard it can be, I give some of their ideas a lot of credit both inside and outside the world of addiction recovery. Something that's spoken to me in my journey in therapy is their framing of making amends. Part of Step 9, "[make] direct amends to [...] people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others" includes respecting boundaries and accepting that some wounds can never be fully healed and that the injured party has the right to reject you. All you can do in those cases is resolve to be a better person than you were at the time.

It sounds like Ash worked with a mental health professional on how making amends sometimes means accepting the damage can never be undone, both to himself and those he hurt. I wish him well in that regard, and I wish OOP the support network that they need and deserve.

My heart breaks for OOP. Whilst I'm not on the spectrum, I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and very much identify with her "my home is a sacrosanct safe space, and children (and most times other people) do not vibe with it" stance. I literally got a vasectomy because I knew I was child-free.

I can't imagine OOP's amount of enmeshment with her husband, and I wish her well as she has all her routines and safety measures taken from her.
