    That looks rough @Maxx. What happened? Hope you recover quickly.

     

    Same to you @Sonero, sounds like this year has been relentless for you. Hope your family isn't met with any more struggle.

    Maxx,

     

    Is that from martial arts or some other cause?

    Speedy recovery.

    Martial arts. I was grappling at jiu jitsu and I ended up tearing my meniscus cutting an angle. Also some other issues with cartilage and stuff. Just had surgery today. I'm out for 4 months

    haha I definitely have an analog watch.

    Last thing my grandpa bought for me before he passed away.

    But also because I wanted one. I think they are cool.

    Don't get me wrong.... They are still way more a aestically pleasing. I have a bunch of analogs.. If I'm going to a bar or club always have one. 

     

    Had one on last Friday when some chick who was legit on a date or with her bf would not stop eye fucking me. 

  3. Like my general feelings with alot of stuff. If they truly need to know a parent can teach them or they can watch a YouTube video. I'm lookin at this 10-15 years from now and more than likely it's gonna be even less of a need for them to know this. 

     

    Anyone who gets irrationally angry is prob a boomer or a Swiss watch maker lol

    A lot of things in my line of work require you to sign and print....how do you do that without cursive. Print is far easier to forge IMO.

    Currently yes but let's be real that's gonna become less and less nessisary. We're moving into more digital requirements. Shit alot of places won't take money anymore unless it's exact using the excuse of the pandemic 

  5. Punisher review:

     

    -couldn't really do a breakdown I'm just so into the series. 

     

    -everyone's sins are their super powers

     

    -watching a dude have a mental breakdown, forget his fake accent while gettin a blow job with a handle of henny in his hand is alot. Lmfao Netflix marvel is special aignt gonna see this shit with new mcu 

     

    -Curtis is better than falcon

     

    -lone wolf and daughter is great

     

    -maidani is hot

    I've found that making things easier, even learning weird obtuse things that don't have much marignal use (say, roman numerals), still provide important cognitive benefits. I have pocket watches and wrist watches that are analog.

     

    Just understanding things a different way is important for your brain.

     

     

    That I can get behind. Giving your brain a minor excersize to stimulate it. I also think at least for the moment aesthetical wise it will prob take presidence over digital. But the change has started. I know some digital are trying tk blend the two worlds as well. We hit the Era of dick Tracy watches 

  7. So theirs a debate about getting rid of analog clocks in schools. And I see people being mad and saying like "what if their isn't a digital clock nearby". 

     

    I get why people are upset.. Change sucks. They all got mad at getting rid of cursive even though most admitted they don't use it at all. 

     

    So now my thinking is... Where the hell have you been that a digital clock wasn't a foot away? What dystopian society situation can you realistically think that it's nessisary to know analog outaide of purely aesthetician or just curiosity to know reasons?

    He was having 6 month pregnant maria doing 24/7 title segments. Vince is shit

     

    Say prop 25 passes does wwe just stop touring california. When will wwe term their wrestlers as employees? Vince only has these guys working once a week, but once travel starts things get different.

     

    WCW guys were always full on turner employees. Why is vince late to that?

    They aren't stressing touring for the next two years minimum. I think this was Def a plan to wait out and see how the election shakes out. Andrew yang is still sayin he's gonna fuck Vince up of Biden is elected.

    Vince is a mad man. Becky is due to gave birth in December and Vince wants her back in January to work a Wrestlemania angle with Ronda Rousey. I personally don't care. That ship has sailed. Let Becky be a mom for more than a month. 

    😂 This fuckery has not changed. He will still for a pregnant woman if he can

  10. I'm going to believe Jay has no interest in wwe atm until proven otherwise. Literally the only thing reported is wwe wanted him. He's never given any indication he wanted to leave for wwe . When he got into wrestling he wanted to go to wwe purely on the fact he didn't know about anything in wrestling. In gonna believe his words over people's assumptions.

    What do you think is going to be the legacy of New Day? They were the most successful black stable since Nation of Domination. Are we gonna have kids doing the hip shake when they say they are world champions now? Does being black, nerdy and a massive wrestling fan get another rung of acceptance publicly?

     

    Dont spend a lot of time on twitter or other media spaces to get a gauge on it.

    They are one of the top most successful stables ever. Not just black. Theirs a few points to hit on with their long lasting affect on the industry. 

     

    -be yourself. Time and time again it's been proven that being an aspect of yourself in the ring allows you to be the most successful. Look at people like ric flair who don't know how to turn their character off. He became his character and his daily suffered for it. Fans recognize and have always respected authenticity over fakes for the most part. 

     

    -they didn't change the wheel in terms of the black experience in America. They change the wheel in terms of prowrestling industry looking at people and wrestlers who embrace their nerdy aspect. Black nerd culture was already on the rise in the mainstream way before new day, they see just another aspect of this. 

     

    -being yourself also outside the ring and you can walk the kayfabe line but these guys have always been from what I've heard and seen the same people in and outside the ring. We see it in their podcasts and streams online. You don't have to present a character, again not nessisarily a black thing because it's just a general culture shif t in prowrestling. They have forced their friends to embrace more publicly their nerdy side. Look at Tyler breeze most likely pre Xavier he might not be so public about his love of games. He might try to live up to his stuck up character. 

     

    -see black people on TV will always be important. We always need to se people like us in these spaces to let us know we can do it. Another culture shift in prowrestling is the look. You used honestly look like big e. Kofi isn't a big dude but he combined his athleticism with his personality that makes him loveable. When you are true all around people wanna support you. Kofi mania happened because we have always wanted to see him succeed and it was a shocker where we all collectively went "wait.. Is this something we can have? Kofi could win?!" no one expected Kofi to get a push and when we saw that every fan was behind it. Because it wasn't just black champ it was also he appealed to people because he's truly a prowrestling good guy. 

     

    This may be a lil redundant but overall their impact is being authentic. When you are authentic and true you can overcome any obstacles. You present yourself in a way that whatever preconceived notions people have about size or race go away.

    His goal was to be in wwe. But his shot into wrestling was doing indies in uk until Balor saw him. Got him hooked up with Fale. 

     

    Like dude only been at this for 7 years. Him being this good is crazy

     

    That's not the story he's telling. He didn't meet fergal till he went for the tryout according to the podcast

    Nah jay white a wwe mark. From the style and psychology he is triple h reborn

     

    With dude living in florida. I think anothee year in njpw then he might give wwe a shot. Like i see dude as a top wrestlemania level main event guy

     

    He also got nakamura and tanahashi, and aspects of JBL character trait wise

    I don't think he's as big of a mark as you think. Listening to his interview worth Jericho. Jay is very much a product of njpw dojo
