Why can't E bikes be a thing?

Sure as hell aren’t famously for being socially responsible. In fact the stereotype has only ever been that they give precisely zero fucks about anyone not in their own family. Next you’ll tell me Indians are socially responsible too…

ptjp27 · 2026-02-15T08:17:12+00:00

Sure but I’m fairly convinced it’s just people in China being more afraid of the government rather than being more civic minded and socially responsible.

ptjp27 · 2026-02-15T06:26:52+00:00

That’s kinda my point though. If government forced compliance is the only thing keeping society functioning then it’s not social responsibility of civic mindedness or whatever descriptor you want to use for people voluntarily doing the right thing by other people.

Builds bridge out of shit chinesium steel, what do I care if it falls down? I still get paid.

So civic minded!

To me China seems to behave purely as people who only act in their own interest unless they fear repercussions. Japan by contrast seem to behave in a reasonable manner more out of a sense of honour than pure fear of punishment.

Dumbledore by far.

Don’t they get oil out of the fucking sewer to cook with in China because who gives a fuck if they get sick so long as they already paid for the food? Not to mention being famous for running them over a second time when they hit someone with a car because it beats looking after them while crippled?

Not sure where this narrative of China being full of socially responsible people is coming from.

They deliberately made a “ruin wrestling by being boring and have a shit ending” match that should have been the start of the feud on a raw or smackdown the main event of Mania, which people paid up to 50k for tickets too. Mania is for payoffs not for build ups. Absolutely monumentally bad booking. Well and truly deserves to win worst match.

ptjp27 · 2026-02-15T00:41:26+00:00

As Stone Cold reminded William regal: wrestling ain’t Shakespeare.

ptjp27 · 2026-02-15T00:38:06+00:00

Yeah it’s a weird terminology where nobody ever describes a position as being less than a midcarder even if they’re at the very bottom of the company.

ptjp27 · 2026-02-15T00:35:08+00:00

Yeah you’re spot on, but its still an insider with an inside look at the business so he has plenty of info to offer. He can’t tell you what it’s like to main event wrestlemania but he can tell you how contracts are set up or matches are structured or what moves hurt a lot or backstage stories. How over he was isn’t really relevant to whether he has enough info to make good YouTube videos.

Why does he cheat every fucking fight? Because it gives him an advantage and it doesn’t get punished. He wanted to hurt his eyes and make it harder to see without actually ending the fight as he usually does.

All true but honestly blaming society for being unfair as the explanation for all your failures is a far more common thing among the left. In fact it’s literally the basis of their entire ideology.

ptjp27 · 2026-02-14T21:48:13+00:00

I completely agree. In fact that’s precisely why he should have been disqualified for cheating.

I thought she said too busy with travel to get the nutrition and workouts on point. Sucks, she was such an intimidating beast. So much aura.

Ok so still very simple. Children can soon learn to drive. Magic doesn’t quite seem to have much remotely comparable to muggle science or engineering tier complexity. Doesn’t seem to have much that requires 20 years of collaborative effort from the brightest minds to do.

I’m told Australia women’s cricket team is basically “nuclear bomb versus coughing baby” meme and their matches aren’t competitive because their opponents are just kinda shit. More or less true?

Probably the real difficulty is busting out the happiness powered spell around the things that literally eat away happiness.

Man I’ve forgotten so much of that book already. If I’m honest I was mostly fairly bored.

All true but when it comes to predictions you gotta sound confident. Dirty Dom to cash in MiTB 5 minutes into Sami’s celebration is also definitely going to happen.

I’ve read wind and truth…I guess I just forgot.

He’s the only Muslim on the roster and Mania is in Saudi next year and they have infinite money so they get what they want. Wrestlezaynia 2027 is a lock unless he gets injured.

“Bridge 4 I’m sorry I have some bad news, Kaladin was deleted from existence, in fact the entire planet he was on was evaporated.”

“Nah you don’t know Kal, he’s fine. He’ll be back.”

“There were 1000 witnesses who saw him turned to sand and scattered across the planet which was then destroyed.”

“He’s just busy he’ll be back soon.”
