    California, eh? Let's all go into the This Weather Sucks thread and look at what @Cristobal has been posting for the last few years.

    I spent most of the last week of summer without air conditioning because running the ACs, even with new filters, and an air purifier running at maximum 24/7, was giving me headaches indoors, but it was almost bearable because the smoke has been so heavy that barely any sunlight was getting through so it was only mid-80s.

    What is Flip even trying to imply?  He doesn’t think the wildfires are real?  He thinks the wildfires are pro-Canadian sympathizers?  Illegal aliens?  Democrats?

    i mean, if you’re going to espouse some wacky conspiracy theory, would it be too much to ask that you tell me which wacky conspiracy theory you want me to buy into?

    I believe that the stupe du jour is that they aren't really wildfires, that they're all being set by "Antifa". Which you'd think would be progress from a couple years ago when the theory was "space lasers", except actual idiots on the ground have been stopping people trying to drive away from the fires, endangering everyone around them, looking for fictional antifa arsonists.

    That was the most Oakland A's thing ever.

    Baseball: Extra innings will start with a runner on second.

    Baseball commentariat: This is gonna make smallball and the ability to execute it critical.

    Oakland A's: Fuck you *walks the bases loaded and hits a walkoff grand slam*

    Wrestlers are Recycling “Allegedly”

    This is a pretty little thing, but it was a kind gesture and sticks in my memory. In 2001, I went to an indy show where Christopher Daniels was wrestling in the main event, and I wore a Curry Man t-shirt. After the show, I stopped at a Denny's about a half-hour down the road. About 5 minutes after I sit down, a large group walks in, most of them wrestlers from the show, including Daniels, and they get seated in an area pretty much right next to me. I figure since this wasn't a public appearance, they're just here to eat like I am, that I'm just gonna leave them alone and sit and eat my food. I think I did a decent job not looking too much at them, though they were moderately loud and I couldn't help but overhear conversations. Turns out it's apparently Daniels' birthday, and they've got him a cake. At one point, Daniels cuts a slice of the cake and brings it over to my table, saying, "Nice shirt. Wish I had one just like it."

    But Janela is in the right pointing out that criticism of the obviously scummy CZW is pretty conspicuously missing from her messages, which feels so disingenuous because she works for them.

    Hold up. Is Wiggy doing any of the following things?

    1. Refusing to platform stories of abuse at CZW shows or by CZW personnel or talent
    2. Claiming that CZW is fine and has no problems?
    3. Attempting to quash or denigrate victims or witnesses who are making allegations or speaking out about abuse at CZW?

    Because if she is, then this is valid criticism and so be it. If she is not, then going at her because she is employed by CZW and has not experienced or witnessed abuse firsthand and has said so is bullshit.

    Yeah, I think he's the best guy on the independents and has been for a long time. And yet, despite agreeing with most of his politics, this doesn't actually strike me as shocking. He's always struck me as a massive douche. Feels like we can't really like anybody these days without compartmentalizing their talents from how shitty they are. But of course that's nothing compared to the anguish he's caused people close to him, so... you know... perspective and all that.

    As someone fairly close to his politics, I can tell you I've come across a number of people (not all of them men) in that realm who have been abusive assholes that used clout and fame and personal networks to evade responsibility for shit just like this, so it's certainly not something that becomes not-a-problem the farther out you go politically.

    His ex accused him of being needy, manipulative, gaslighting, arrogant, deceitful, unfaithful, vindictive and a date rapist. He responded by admitting to everything except the rape part, which he denied.

    He admitted all the shit that wouldn't hurt him and threw in a line "I am not a predator", otherwise completely eliding the accusation that would.

    i think from watching there video zack busy stuff on video and then sells them quite abit later on.... he could defo have a clear out and get 1000s the dude has everything! i dont have a clue what guys like him n curt made etc i never really see WWE contract money

    Downside for those guys would be low 6 figures. If they did any merch or worked a lot of dates they were probably pulling in double that. The hard part is needing to fund a lot of your own expenses.

    It’s funny in retrospect. Tommy Dreamer sent out a tweet video where he called Zack an idiot for buying a shit ton of his memorabilia right before this shit really went down, instead of investing it.

    I don't know exactly when this was but depending on timing putting it in the stock market might've been far worse.

    See the thing people don't get is, they say "I want Brexit, I don't want Europe telling us what to do". But after Brexit, the EU will still be able to tell us what to do. We just won't have the ability to tell them what to do back any more.

    Basically, working class people hate that they feel left behind and forgotten, so they decide the best way to fix it is to help the upper class create a situation where the middle class also becomes working class.

    On the plus side, Labour will definitely win the next general election. The NHS is going to be privatised, so all the grey head racists that prop up the Tory party are going to be die sooner.

    Let us know if you need tips on filling out insurance paperwork. Here's a starter:

    Always have copies of copies. They'll tell you they never got your paperwork. This will be a lie. They'll get you to send it out again and if there's a minute difference they'll deny coverage for that reason unless you can sue them.

    I personally just uploaded the thingy and browsed the clothes and whatnot, before started the missions. You really do have to pay attention to some of these, my friends. It’s very similar to story mode; where your actions change what happens. 

    I’m not that far. If any of you yahoos wanna join myself, give me a shout. Could be fun. ?

    Imma put my disc back in tonight after work.
