This isn’t an achievement. Why is this in my sports news next to last night’s hockey scores instead of next to an article about who was the bitchiest on the lastest episode of Real Housewives?

Because wrestling is a huge business and it has a lot of overlap with combat sports fans.

Like…of course he did. It’s the storyline. It’s quite literally “in the script”.

Yesn’t.

An actor breaking the record for most best performer oscars won in a career would also be newsworthy, yet you can absolutely pay your way to an oscar.

John Cena is remarkable in that he’s such a draw that a multi-billion dollar organization decided to set his career as the new ceiling to break for the next big star, by breaking a record untouched for decades, might I add. That’s newsworthy.

That isn’t scripted, that is a performer being skilled at what he does, as much as I personally don’t enjoy his work.

But I thought at some point they steered into the whole “entertainment” aspect when most of us grew the hell up and clued into the absurdity of it all.

This is like, the most “I learned something so the rest of the world learned it with me” I’ve ever seen.

Wrestling has been known to be fake for over a century; newspapers stopped reporting on it as a factual sport in the early 1900s.

Hell, it was known to be fakery before it was ever televised.

Kids don’t know until they do.

It’s live action martial arts anime theater. No more, no less.

tl;dr: Should John Cena’s record-breaking 17th title win be in the papers? absolutely. Sports section? Maybe, depends. It is a “sport” in the same way that figure skating or synchronised swimming is.

Sounds like he’s done a lot of research and has kept an open mind. He’s also wise in suggesting to go into therapy and see if there may be other causes/co-causes.

Anecdotal, but a friend of mine has ADHD and once she started treatment for that she also lost like 95% of her feelings of dysphoria and decided to postpone transitioning until she could figure her shit out a bit more.

Years later she’s decided she’s fine as she is and saved herself shittons of money and physical suffering with no real drawback.

It’s important not to be emotionally attached to a diagnosis.

Nice try, FBI

Wasn’t one of the Witcher 3 expansions already either nominated or even a winner a few years back?

Kind of a stupid decision to call something pre-currency and pre-codified laws “anarcho communist”.

It’d be like calling something born before animal life “vegan” because it doesn’t eat animals.

Technically correct, maybe, but very much missing the point of the label.

Dictation software has come a long way huh

they’re just screwing us out of possible remakes

Bro don’t make me like them T~T

Very small font on very thin paper.

Here’s to a multi-year long process to port the campaigns from BG1 and 2 into 3.

The problem is not affordable housing, there’s plenty of that in the US, the problem is getting people to states where housing is affordable without significant drops in quality of life due to lack of access to services and such.

Like, you could buy land in Detroit for the price of a decent car, put a trailer on it and you’re already on the property ladder, but you’re in Detroit.

I humbly submit First Monday in October.

Genuinely good writing, good discussion about political and legal base principles, censorship, government interference in economic matters, and doesn’t characterise either (american political) side as evil.

It’s also kinda funny that the movie came out just about at the same time as Ruth Bader-Ginsburg was appointed to the supreme court (without being inspired by it), considering the main characters are pretty much gender swapped Ginsburg and Scalia.

For me it’s straight up the fact that the guy who made Sync is porting it to Lemmy.

It’s a great client, and if he picked this I guess he thinks he can keep that quality on this platform, so here I am.
