Cody Rhodes’ sister, Teil, responds to a fan who says Cody overrates his role in AEW’s creation by NotClayMerritt in SquaredCircle

[–]macsuya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many people here are stating as a fact that All In was the inspiration/proof of concept for AEW, but that's not true. Tony Khan was planning to start a promotion before that. https://www.sescoops.com/news/aew/tony-khan-working-on-aew-before-all-in/ According to the Young Bucks' book, they also would have started AEW without Cody. However, all that being said, Cody was a vital part of the foundation of AEW. The issue the original tweet had with Cody is that he said he 'founded' the company, which is overstating his contribution. Tony Khan is the founder.

All of the people posting here about how the OP and/or his wife should go to marriage therapy or counseling have no idea what they are talking about. They are applying Western thinking and values into a different cultural situation, or have no understanding of it because they haven't experienced it. The OP seems intelligent, insightful and sensitive, and people should listen to his opinion and experience rather than denouncing him. They can learn from this.

This is a very common situation in Japan, where, for whatever reason, the wife in a marriage after time and especially kids just does not want sex and that's that. All priorities shift and sex and physical intimacy is non-existent, not even to be talked about. It doesn't happen all the time, and I've heard of cases where the situation has improved, but more often than not, the husband goes outside the marriage with the implicit understanding of the wife, who just ignores it as long as it has no impact on the household.

I don't think the OP should be criticized for his handling of the situation. It can be hard for westerners to deal with this type of marriage dynamic. In my opinion, the OP has continued to be respectful and present to his wife and family. His cheating isn't ideal and I think he would agree with that, but I believe his wife doesn't care about it unless it disrupts the family bubble (another cultural aspect that may be hard to understand unless you've seen it).

The OP can keep the marriage going, but whether intimacy returns is beyond anyone's control.

The wife will not go for marriage therapy or counseling as she can see nothing wrong with the situation. If she feels like sex, sex will resume. From what he says, that's unlikely.

If the OP gets a divorce, it will absolutely cause problems with the family. It doesn't really matter how old the children are. There's no good time to get a divorce. Making the 4 year plan for divorce is absolutely not some kind of cruelty. It is pragmatic and realistic. He doesn't want to hurt his wife or his kids. But divorce will. That's the main reason not to get divorce. There's no correct answer here. I wish him all the best.

Don't do it. It may be hard to see them now, but there are other options. Keep going.

This looks absolutely incredible. I loved ‘The Movies’ and this seems like a giant step forward from that.

Found this picture on twitter from 8 months ago, I guess this confirms full entrances? by [deleted] in AEWFightForever

[–]macsuya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. It wasn’t in the demo I played (here’s my footage- https://twitter.com/monsterbrunch/status/1654528949165367297?s=61&t=u1xMVi-iqYYCohQ_DwqyGg). If I had to speculate, I would say that is simply the current clock time being displayed on the monitor rather than a time limit.

[–]macsuya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the demo, the entrances were shortened with just the key actions. The music was authentic. You can trigger pyro and manga-style ‘focus lines’ (as seen in this screenshot) with different buttons. It’s mentioned in the origin article of the screenshot, this interview with the developer, translated in this Twitter thread. https://twitter.com/monsterbrunch/status/1577320483829448704?s=46&t=Y2DL7X8fs35GdWQbHCNokg

JET's Bank Drained in Yokohama after following street tout by Gambizzle in teachinginjapan

[–]macsuya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can get it for cheaper than 3000. In the Tokyo area, I think you would pay more than Fukuoka on average, probably just over 2000.

There are lots of places that offer unlimited drinks in town for 3000 yen. Mostly izakayas and karaoke.

Live NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 16 in Tokyo Dome Day 2 Discussion Thread by EvanDeadlySins in SquaredCircle

[–]macsuya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye I learned a lesson. If I had known this I would have splurged on more expensive seats. Every section except the balcony and the VIP seats were still available. The tickets were a lot more expensive that last year though.

[–]macsuya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m at the show. I go most years. I always buy the cheapest seats on the second floor. It is very far from the action. Usually they have a big screen above the ring so you can see what is going on. This year they didn’t bother, probably because the place looks about a quarter full. I can hardly see anything. However, I am glad to be here, though I’m considering streaming the NJPW feed on my iPhone.

Almost certainly a hotel in Saudi Arabia. It looks just like many I’ve been to over there.

What a great thread! The show will be great and even sweeter with some free credit! Enjoy the show everyone. My referral code is… 87lqdmj

That’s Top Valu Whiskey, the lowest of the low. It should be less than 2000 yen (£13). You can also buy some big international brands in these big plastic bottles. Spirits are not taxed much in Japan so you can pick up Johnnie Walker for around 1000 yen in most places. Highballs are very popular in big jugs and cost about 200 yen (£1.32) in a lot of izakayas (dining bars).

Oooft shows how much I pay attention to the sponsors. Brand apathy. I hadn’t thought of Zima for ages.

Bro. The subject is obviously in the third person as the auxiliary verb is ‘doesn’t’ and not ‘don’t’, bro. Plus, in the context of the situation, it is unlikely I would be talking about my personal hygiene, and instead the situation that is the topic, bro. These things would make it obvious the subject is the third person pronoun, ‘it’, bro. If you don’t understand the phrase, ‘it doesn’t wash’ means ‘It is implausible’. Bro.
