But that’s seawater

I was shocked when i realized that people that talk bad about the hulkster are entirely justified.

He was a heel-turned-hero with a ton of extraordinarily positive media coverage following his heavy commercialization in the 80s. Can’t say I’m shocked an 80s-era celebrity athlete turned out to be a bad guy, given the litany of 80s-era celebrity athletes that turned out to be awful, miserable people in hindsight.

he must be the single most vile person in wrestling buisness.-

He pales beside Vince McMahon himself.

even if he did say it, it was most likely “kayfabe” - a pro wrestling term for maintaining the story line outside of the ring.

Well, yes. That’s a big part of what makes the quote easy to believe. It sounds like an adorably polite spin on the kind of teeth nashing promos common both then and now.

Snopes says they haven’t found evidence that this is something he actually said

I mean, I’m seeing it in black and white right there in OP’s post. Snopes even suggests it may have come from a popular wrestling zine of the era, they just don’t have access to the full catalog to confirm it.

Also TIL Jesse Ventura tried to unionize WWF and later learned in court that it was in fact Hogan who had ratted him out to their boss (Vince McMahon). (Or maybe this is all just higher-order kayfabe? 🤡)

If its kayfabe, its something Ventura has kept to well past its expiration date. He was outspoken on this incident long after he’d left the Minnesota governor’s mansion.

I did not realize the distance between the US and Canada was so big.

Posting an image during the ten days at the height of summer when Norway gets sunshine, while neglecting the 99% of the year when its cold, dark, wet, and miserable.

There was ZERO ambiguity about this

Okay, you had me up till this point. There was definitely ambiguity. That’s sort of the whole joke of the Voight-Kampff test (and the movie at-large). Discerning humanity isn’t trivial or obvious. You can argue that the movie reads better if Deckard isn’t a replicant, but the screenplay is deliberately ambiguous with the intent of putting the viewer in Deckard’s shoes.

And not merely to ask if this particular character is a replicant, but to ask whether there’s any value in hunting for them or any real means of drawing a distinction at all. What is the point of trying to “detect for humanity” if not to find a population we can ethically treat as less-than-human?

The sequel tries to delve into that question a bit more deeply, but gets high on its own auteur supply along the way. What is the purpose of hunting replicants, really? Is there any real social good in sorting “real” humans from artificial ones? Or is it just a hysterical impulse that will lead to our collective self-destruction?

Slappin dat sexy piece’o hip meat, sugar what’s up? Shake what momma gave you, sweet thing.

You’d only be proving her point.

The end stage of this is Groypers screaming the N-word at large public events, then filming reaction videos of the results.

Does it work with masturbation?

The reverse, actually. Masturbation builds up the vital muscles of the pubis and grant improved agility as well as a higher stopping power during ejaculation.

It’s more a meme than truth. The “black mold” picture is of wallpaper and like much online gumshoeing it’s sourced by people piling on an allegation without any bearing in fact.

JK Rowling’s bigotry has nothing to do with her McMansion’s state of repair. It’s the standard English brain worms that every rich person in her social club develops.

It tends to be easier to have friends when you’re all living close together and socialization is very easy. I run into my neighbors outside all the time and we regularly chat with one another. Then every month or two someone throws a party and invites everyone else over. That’s how we all stay connected.

I’ve got another group of friends who host a game night at their house every other Sunday. Its a routine, same time and same place, and the house is right in the center of town so its easy for everyone to get there.

I almost never see my coworkers outside of the office, though. They’re all out in random distant corners of the various suburbs. Any kind of meeting would be a huge hassle for at least some of them. We grab lunch on occasion, but we don’t have any opportunity to see one another outside of work, so friendships never develop past basic business associations.

The writers were getting desperate, what with a season people seemed to genuinely not like anymore. The “Trump Gets Shot” arc was a last gasp for attention. But then they fired that old goofy guy playing the president and replaced him with his younger, smoother comic relief character. It was something of a reversal, sure, but it got us back into the old 2008 “Hope and Change” arc, which was a much bigger hit among younger viewers.

And its not like they just retired the middle aged bumbling white guy, either. That new Tim Walz character is pure charm and really works against the smarmy wall street guy they’ve brought in as this year’s new villain.

They’ve got nothing to lose, since they’re on their way out already.

The part of the contract that is obviously unenforceable is the idea that signing up for a Disney+ trial a year ago forces you into binding arbitration over an issue at a Disney theme park today.

That’s very easily enforceable. It’s bad. But there’s no difficulty actually imposing the rule.

Disney really shot themselves in the foot by even trying to claim this.

They have oodles of money and a highly favorable court composition to argue in. Forcing anyone who has every touched a Disney property into binding arbitration would be an enormous coup for their legal team. Meanwhile, they aren’t going to lose any money on this gambit.

Disney knows that part of the contract is unenforceable

All a court has to do is agree that the claim must go to arbitration. Then the private Disney arbiter can squash the claim.
