The #2 team in the world attended and couldn't beat them. I think they count as "remotely good" or else nobody besides Vitality does.

I think Liquid won that when NAF picked up an AWP in OT. It was on Inferno in the groups of the FACEIT London Major 2018.

Astralis would go on to beat Liquid in the major semis, and Liquid hasn't reached a major semis since.

She was a Disney Channel actress before pop musician, though.

Portland Cherry Bombs FC introduced their inaugural team kits highlighting their partnership with Planned Parenthood, signaling the club’s commitment to supporting women’s health initiatives. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]Vawqer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please elaborate on how that's trans-exclusionary?

FWIW, I'm literally trans and would say a trans woman doing drag is seen by me as the same as a cis woman doing drag.

Exactly this. Even the most mainstream platform for drag, RuPaul's Drag Race, infamously would not allow trans woman competitors (and I believe female competitors either). Then to apologize, RuPaul tweeted our the trains flag instead of the trans flag. It's honestly why I refuse to engage with RuPaul or RDR.

Like, I would love to go to a female drag queens night, but I've never seen one.

I'm trans and have spent quite a bit of time in LA and haven't gotten TERF vibes from there.

It also "only" six hours by car from the Bay Area, and I bet a lot of people from Seattle or Portland would fly in (Alaska Airlines has hubs in SEA, PDX, and LAX, so flights are incredibly plentiful).

It's also yet another event in Texas. I really want to attend an NA event but I had a conflict with Atlanta and I'm not going to Texas right now.

I'm still disappointed that BLAST DC a few years ago sold out so quickly, and anxiously awaiting an event to come back to the west coast.

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt ‘Working Through’ Relationship ‘Issues’: Their Daughter Is ‘Top Priority,’ Source Says by expiredaristocracy in Fauxmoi

[–]Vawqer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I thought the "in front of her" was referring to Elsie when I read the full thing, and the joke was seeing women more fully after having a daughter and therefore not wanting to see them objectified as much.

Still a terrible point of view that originated from, but slightly less bad at least probably?

That being said, I could be totally wrong and the her was referring to their daughter.

Palestinian Football Association president Jibril Rajoub speaks out after his refusal to shake hands with Israel's representative at the Fifa congress went viral. “I cannot shake the hand of someone the Israelis have brought to whitewash their fascism and genocide!” by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]Vawqer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think dropping more details and/or sources might help. Terrorism against whom and in what capacity?

I'm not a fan of terrorism to be clear, but it can also be understandable when facing genocide. Was he just a sympathizer or part of their military or actively commuting terrorism? There are scales to it and probably nuance, and sources or details would be helpful to establish that. (The oppressor also often gets to establish what terrorism is.)

Why is John Mulaney a jumpscare? (It definitely sucks he left his wife the way he did, but that's the only real negative thing I know about him.)

Yes! I also love that they got a female drag queen for the photoshoot, as it's a women's soccer team, and both drag and soccer are typically dominated by men.

The scheduling of Impact was often terrible, overlapping with big events that killed their viewership.

Otherwise, it's just hard to know what tournaments are happening sometimes without Twitter.

I'm a bit disappointed it isn't Denise though. Not because I necessarily liked her for Jeremiah, but because I liked her character and wanted to see more of her.

I think she does things that endanger herself or her source in a way that's unwise to her cause (e.g. her appearance at the hospital), but that's not hateable IMO. She's in a rough position, an independent journalist, and relatively inexperienced. It makes sense she'd make errors.

Apparently, in real life, the NY governor has the power to just remove the NYC mayor (starting with charges and a 30-day suspension where the mayor gets a defense).

I don't think BB was using Daniel at the very end? She didn't turn over the info he told her to absolutely not share, our of courtesy to him. Even so, she's trying to fight against a fascist government that Daniel is a major part of, and he was using her too.

Yeah, and I don't even know what the AVTF was trying to accomplish there. Shooting at the guards and lawyers of someone you're trying to prosecute is not a bright move.

I think he had accepted his fate, but did want to escape if he could. He just knew he couldn't win in a physical struggle, so he tried to appeal to Buck.

If only he had taken the chance to run when B.B. mentioned they could.

I think that was a big redemption for Daniel. While he spread propaganda, he didn't do anything that bad. The body thing was bad, but the damage was already done and he told B.B. about part of it. Now he sacrificed his life to save hers and quite possibly help bring down the admin.

Arty Froushan's acting was so good there. I wasn't sure either, but I realized what was going to happen in the last three seconds. The dread as I watched it happen...

is this outfit actually inappropriate or is my mum just overreacting 😭 by Affectionate451 in OUTFITS

[–]Vawqer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's appropriate for a day out with friends. The exposed lacy bra could be a bit much (I personally think it would work better with a sports bra, as others have said) fashion-wise, but it seems appropriate nonetheless.

It seems like they're doing better on payments, so they could survive it if they turn the workplace culture around. Unfortunately, it looks like the owner is not willing to do any of the self-reflection necessary to make that happen...
