From what I can gather it's because Michelle Beadle is anti domestic violence.5 points

DFA and I were talking on twitter about the fight and the response it's gotten on social media. The issue at the heart of this is that access to social media has made people think that posting your outrage is an acceptable substitute for actual activism. It's so easy now for people to take a stance that doing it has become meaningless. Saying on facebook and twitter that Floyd Mayweather is a bad guy and domestic violence is a scourge on our community is good. Those are facts. But most people think that accountability stops there for many, which doesn't actually advance anything.3 points

It's all subjective and ultimately pointless anyway. That era of Leonard, Duran, Hagler, and Hearns was where dudes were on everything on the sun and weren't tested at all. Every era has different variables and circumstances. Today's era is blood doping and EPO and trying to beat stricter testing.2 points

The checkpoints aren't required???? Well I'll be shit. Those sneaky bastards. I've now led all the heists, so I'm able to replay any of them. If anybody is ever on and wants to do a particular one and I'm not doing anything specific, let me know. Can't remember if I mentioned it or not last night, but just in case... Before Stout and Robert got on, Mel and I were goofing around. I messaged the old butt-humping kid from a few posts back and said "are u on?" He said he was. I said "me n my friend stacy are playing want 2 join?" Mel and I got into an invite only room and sent him the invitation. I don't know how it happened, but another kid joined. (I guess anyone can invite anyone else once they're in the room?) Anyway, we switch over to game chat with our headsets muted. In a totally unseen, shocking moment - they turned out to be 12. Our plan was to ride with them a while and then take the headsets off mute and start talking to them in the Cat House hooker voice to freak them out. I unmuted mine and did my absolute best to sound like a girl. Apparently it's been too many years since my balls dropped, because it did not work one bit. Mel had his still muted because he was losing his shit. The kid just kept going, "What? Who's talking?" Then we heard what must have been butt-humper's older brother in the background yelling at the kid for spending money while playing with his character. Mel and I switched back to the party and were like - uhhhhh yeah this is a little too weird, so we bailed on the idea. I got at least four more friend requests from the kid before he got the hint. Anyway, the kid kept humping me and not Melraz, so I'm hotter. Sorry Mel.2 points

Using a swat van to drive down the coast has pretty much been my go to escape plan ever since I found out about the non-required check points. That, taking the highway to and from Series A: Weed, and taking the train tracks for the Series A finale have made it easier when you're stuck with more novice players or feel like getting it over with quickly. Cheap? Maybe, but it gets the job done. Being able to drive wherever you want with whatever you want for the Pacific finale puts the one setup when you steal the Lectros in a funny perspective, character-mindset wise. Like, I just risked death to steal a bunch of bikes from a gang that I'm not even going to use? Oh well, I guess I just like murdering people.2 points

Random: Jim Cornette's Derby day tweets ("#AmericanPharoah to win #KYDerby141 unless the starter's gun shoots him" / "Winner, winner.Chicken dinner #AmericanPharoah") made me think of a world where Jim Cornette is the mouthpiece of a Triple Crown horse.2 points

Geeks Who Drink had a really fun cash game (meaning the top prize was a portion of the entry fee, rather than entry being free and prizes being gift cards for the host bar) based on MCU stuff yesterday. We came in 6th of 33 teams in Austin, but it was very close, we only missed 9 questions out of 88 so you can imagine how the top 5 did. Best team name was unfortunately either asked to change or they got disqualified or something, because after round 1 the Gwen Stacy bungee Jumping Academy was never heard from again.2 points

It certainly feels like I stepped through a portal. Also, is this what they built up to over all those years? I might be missing a lot, considering I am 100% ignorant of boxing, but this was... well, boring. I had hoped for something a lot more exciting, both from a boxing match and especially from a boxing match this hyped. I don't see the appeal. Mayweather's taunting was entertaining, though.2 points

I legit thought he was going to end the article by saying he and (insert celebrity friend here) decided to split a private jet so that they could do both, and then make a Wire reference, and then talk about how deep down he is still just the same dude that was making $300 a week writing for AOL.2 points

Then after Cornette burned his bridges in horse racing, he would start podcasting about how horse racing used to be better in the 1970s and how the 2010s horses can't draw anyways1 point

Slight bump if anyone ever hears anything, please let us know. I'm watching every Nitro in order along with their respective PPV's, the Nitros being down to 1.5 hours with no breaks are such a breath of fresh air. The whole shows are so put together that I don't want to leave the screen, whereas if I watch any WWE Raw the last ten years I usually play games on my phone or do other things around the house while it's on. I'm just coming up to Halloween Havoc, October 1996, so i'm going to run out sooner or later of episodes to watch. Oh, and how great was Lex Lugers theme song? I loved Luger's face song but his heel theme from 89 was pretty epic as well.1 point

In other words he was a wrestling promoter? Not going to address any of the points, except to say, NO ONE could last that long in the business without being shady(or close to it). He was a human being, and had flaws, but the guy just died, let him RIP. Yeah, there aren't exactly many promoters known for their moral integrity. Shit, HOW many, and can we name any? There's a few like Vince Sr, Don Owens, Les Thatcher, and Giant Baba who tend to be spoken of better than most; but even those guys have some rather dark negative stories/rumors about them. Suffice to say, I've personally known indy promoters who have done every single thing that Andy complained about (changing a few small details, but basically the same carny bullshit). The "charging a 10% tithe for his trainees' entire careers" and actually expecting to receive it is the only one I'd call even uncommon in da biz, although still not unheard-of. It's a filthy industry, full of fucked-up people (which included myself, while I was in it). Verne was just better known for it because he was a crabby old guy with more enemies than average. Hey, anyone here seen Verne's old movie The Wrestler (not to be confused with Marisa Tomei's erotic showcase with the same title)? I seem to recall seeing a few clips wherein heel Dusty and Dick Murdock were drunkenly tearing apart a bar and it actually looked pretty amusing. Of course, Wrestlecrap's text review made the movie look like a painful disaster to watch, but that is RD Reynolds' job after all so who knows if it's any good or not.1 point

I enjoyed the film, but ultimately I feel like it kinda falls alongside the first Avengers as "good, not great," which is disappointing. It's kind of the inverse of the first film, which was a bunch of fun scenes clunkily welded together with a thin story. AoU had a much fuller story, but as result ended up sacrificing some of the fun for shoe leather scenes to further the plot. And, really, there were ultimately too many characters for a 2 1/2 hour film to handle. Some of them were inevitably going to suffer, and unfortuantely, it was the Maximoffs, who are basically nothing characters. In particular, Quicksilver just amounts to one sob story info dump and the "You didn't see that coming" running gag. I imagine they're serviced better in the extended cut, but in the theater, I was unmoved by any of their dramatic moments, because they simply weren't given enough time for me to even begin to care about them. I can't wait for more details of the behind the scenes story on this movie to come out, because I feel like there are two very different movies happening. On one hand, it really feels like Joss wanted this to be his DARK KNIGHT, where, even though the villain is Ultron, the film is really about "the Avengers vs. AN IDEA," but at some point, Marvel was like, "No, this is about the Avengers punching robots." So you have all this interesting philosophical stuff being brought out by Ultron, and then...the Avengers punch a bunch of robots, and everybody goes home for the (mostly) happy ending. Like, the movie he's setting up early on is heading nowhere but an EMPIRE-caliber downer ending, only to abruptly beg off in the final act, all moral and ethical quandries forgotten. This was the first Marvel movie where it really felt like the story was being undermined by the fact that there's, you know, 8 more movies waiting to roll off the factory line behind it.1 point

Urijah Faber, Anti-vaxxer. As someone pointed out on r/mma, using his logic: "He's also a UFC fighter and never won a UFC belt. Therefore the belts aren't real, since it hasn't happened to him."1 point
