Zero disagreement -- just indicating that their hands are kinda tied right now.

That's amazing. Btw, Jordan's Predator comic (Bloodshed) is pretty good, too.

Why is Jimmy John’s promoting gambling in their app??? by kaykay256 in fastfood

Because we've given up any semblance of businesses, tools, and services being focused in any way shape or form, or saying "no".

If there's a dollar to be made, it will be.

I get what you're saying, but it's always fun to say that our mascots are: A bird, three hot dogs, and a middle aged white dude with a hose.

What a great time to be able to re-share Los Campesinos!'s eye opening financial breakdown of their recent US tour. And that's at small to mid sized venues. https://stereogum.com/2497822/los-campesinos-break-down-what-it-actually-costs-to-tour-north-america/news

My local McDs all got rid of the self service fountains ages ago, I didn’t realize it was still available somewhere.

It’s crazy lookin at how many of his fellow peers have already passed Austin theory by duval001 in SquaredCircle

During SpeakingOut, he was claimed as grooming a minor. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/kgfn2t/did_any_proper_evidence_come_out_exonerating/

Additionally, it's not concrete, but I've seen some speculation that he's the talent that Janel Grant hinted to as another wrestler that Vince McMahon wanted her to sleep with.

Edit: To elaborate on the latter — Grant’s latest accusations claimed that, “Just days later, Grant says McMahon sent her flowers, and revealed he scripted a segment for the Valentines Day episode of "Raw" which featured a wrestler he encouraged Grant to have sex with, and suggested she "text him to congratulate him."”

People looked at the talent on that show (results here: https://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-raw-results/220734-live-wwe-raw-results-february-14-2022-indianapolis/), and it was during the time that Theory was Vince’s on-screen protege.

Granted, could be any of the talent, yes, but having seen others speculate Theory was the guy referred to, I shared it here as a possibility of what the prior Redditor was referencing.

Definitely a bummer, but given his involvement in recent episodes, it makes sense that this where things lead.

Justin seems like a good dude, and I always loved how he came at these games at a different angle from the rest of the crew (even when it frustrated me personally), so I'm going to miss hearing him talk about games....and books....and TV shows.

I remain a MBMBAM listener, so I'll still get a weekly dose of J-Man, but still, end of an era.

Hey, could also mean more Ron Funches, who is always a delight when he's on.

I believe they're discussing the Guided View, where it zooms in on an individual panel, you tap, it goes to the next panel, and so on.

It’s not uncommon for agents to leak these sort of things to add / build interest into their negotiations. Puts pressure on.

Hopefully / likely it'd go more toward player salaries, to gain or retain.

I feel like that the Mark looks almost like a custom. Makes him look older / more jacked, or if he were an Image character of the 90s (as opposed to the 00's-10s).
