You did claim a mod gave you private information and we can be sure at least one mod has a lot of trolling alts.

So Brisashi was the one behind all of the claims after all? Figures. That guy has been lying about me for years. And it's not even in an inventive way where I can give him points for creativity, it's just the same shit but he's claiming I'm linked to different people.

You = sunny because Jen said a mod told her your IPs are linked with a bit of you = PO also.

New discussion topic is here. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/3-poll-of-the-day/79434275

...and I follow the link and it's somebody I have ignored >_>

When I opened in a private tab, I thought for sure it was going to be Clark or Fakesaw. I guess I should have suspected Jen, considering she pretended like five other posters were me and then argued that she didn't believe me in saying that somebody pretending to me was me because she believed the person who said he was me, which makes no fucking sense on any level, but that's so Jen.

Small wonder I missed the topic the first around. It could have been up a week and I wouldn't have seen it.

Otherwise the fake stories about mods claiming linked IPs have me supposedly tied to 50 or 60 different people now. And I doubt it's a mod messing with somebody. I suspect if I draw a line back from all the allegations to the source, it would lead to the same guy it always does.

You yourself fell off of yugioh after the start and thats fine but yugioh has been thriving in the time you werent looking, just cause you werent in the loop doesnt mean the franchise is dying lol

"Thriving" is a bit of a stretch, since it's nowhere near as big as when it was a fad. It's doing well, in the same way that WWE is still doing well despite having only a fraction of its former audience.

TheSlinja posted...

also "well known" is such a goofy term here its so incredibly vague

So is popular, which is also open to all kinds of interpretation =p

TheSlinja posted...

the vast majority of stuff we would consider well known in our respective interests are never gonna actually be well known by so many people, if you said the last of us wasnt well known

To be fair, even among gamers, The Last of Us isn't going to be as recognized as other titles. I know PC and console gamers who blank-stared me when I mentioned it, and this is despite the fact it's been a bundle item at times and I'm pretty sure at least of the people I talked to had to have owned it.

Within gaming, there are titles you expect pretty much everybody to know but you have to be pretty deep into the hobby and in specific areas to know about other titles. I expect just about every gamer would recognize Pokemon and Call of Duty. I would expect that most gamers would know God of War. I'm a lot less sure when you get down to things like Last of Us and BioShock.

For what it's worth, Paula's grandfather was approaching death at the time she composed the song. I have no idea if he was a veteran though, and it's not necessary.

It's about a wife and mother encouraging her husband, a veteran of WWII, to recover from his PTSD so they can continue living a happy and healthy family life and not be stuck in the shadow of the war for the rest of their lives.

The video itself is slightly different story about an immortal woman with multiple lovers; but yea the song itself is as I described it, just read the lyrics or watch a lyric video sometime if you don't believe me.

Paula Cole was born in 1968. WWII ended in 1945. The idea that it could be based on WWII PTSD is inherently ridiculous. Hell, given when she was born, it's unlikely that it could be based on Nam PTSD since the Vietnamese ended in 1975 when she would have just been 7 and it's not terribly likely that -- unless it was about her father -- it could have referenced somebody in her life.

After all, Lesnar is and has always been an attraction. Having Rollins beat Taker, however, would have given him permanent heel heat.

The independent contractor thing is blatantly illegal and against the definition of that employment category, but nobody is willing to get blacklisted from the business in order to spend tons of money in court fighting against a bllionaire's legal team.

I'm not even talking about the independent contractor thing -- which, in the case of the WWE, is bullshit because they have non-competes (and, come to think of it, a lot of non-wrestling 1099 work is bullshit because there are non-competes as well) -- but it's all the other insanity between trying allegedly changing the terms, trying to cheat her out of some money, and then having her work tv without any training (...then again, that kinda seems like what they're doing with AEW at times >_>)

Andrew Yang (who is a big wrestling fan) repeatedly said if he was part of Biden's admin, he'd specifically investigate WWE and pro wrestling's use of independent contractors and bring the hammer down.

There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.

I was reading through the Ashley Massaro deposition (because that clip Winter posted reminded me about the incident and I realized I'd never learned the details), but before even getting to that shit I ran into a major WTF:

On August 15, 2005, after weeks of competition on air LIVE on Monday Night RAW, I won the 2005 RAW Diva Search, which the WWE had represented would entitle me to $250,000in prize money and a one-year contract with the WWE. I continued to wrestle for the WWE until July of 2008. I did not wrestle for any other entity before or after my time with the WWE.

Upon winning the competition,I was informed that I could choose to accept the $250,000 prize money,and rather than work for WWE as a wrestler, serve as the faceof the womens division. I accepted this offer. It was my understanding that I would receive the full $250,000 and would not be required to wrestle but would work for WWE in a spokesmodel capacity for one year. I was given a contract by John Laurinaitis, which I no longer have a copy of, and signed it.

After I signed the contract, Vince McMahon insisted that I had been represented by an individual named Rich in Marina Del Ray, CA, and tried to force me to pay him 20% of the $250,000.This individual had never represented me so I refused which almost resulted in me losing my contract. This was my introduction to the coercive and unscrupulous tactics employed by the WWE to take advantage of its performers.

And it just gets fucking crazier from there:

I was classified by WWE as an independent contractor rather than an employee. I still have copies of payment records. Despite WWEs classification of me as an independent contractor, I was obligated to perform at shows four to five days every week. At the time, I didnt really understand the difference the significance of this distinction.Not only was the requirement that I perform 4-5 days a week inconsistent with my independent contractor status, but it came a shock to me because I was specifically told I would not have to wrestle and would serve as the face of the womens division.

However, one week from the day I won the competition, I was thrown into a wrestling match and forced to perform in a wrestling match. I had literally no wrestling training at the time and I did not know how to safely execute any moves or be on the receiving end of any moves. As a result of being immediately thrown into a grueling schedule of performing at shows four to five days week with no training, I immediately began sustaining constant injuries.In my first month with WWE, I had a match with a veteran WWE female wrestler at a house show. She performed a move on me called a back-breaker. I had an expectation at the time that if she intended to perform such a move in a match, she would have taken me aside beforehand to show me how to do the move properly as she was aware I had no training and was expected to learn along the way. However, she not only neglected to teach me how to perform the move, but she worked me stiff (which means she was being particularly rough) because I was new. As a result, my back was slammed directly into her knee,and I sustained a severe back injury.

During my second week with the WWE, I asked Stephanie McMahon if I could receive wrestling training. Typically, this would have required me to attend WWEs Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) school in Louisville, Kentucky. Stephanie said no, because I would be off TV and I would lose my fan base, and I would lose my spot and the WWE would not give it back to me. The reason for this was that I had been fortunate enough to develop a strong fan base while participating in the Diva Search competition.This however was a double-edged sword. Since I was popular with fans and generating higher ratings and profits for the WWE, WWE would not allow me to take any time to actually learn how to wrestle.

I always had mixed feelings about Ashley because, while I kinda liked her, she never felt like she really belonged in the spot that was given and this really goes a long way in explaining it.

Granted, that must have changed how the whole thing worked because I can't remember Layla having those problems. Plus she had a reasonably good career, both in terms of performance and duration. (Then, of course, you have fucking Eva Marie...)

Lesnar spent half a fucking decade burying the entire active roster, and it's that godawful booking that lead to the huge drop off in viewers over that time period and since. Like, why the fuck should we get invested in any of these dudes when Lesnar is just gonna show up again someday, destroy everybody in his path, and immediately get a title shot and win it?

This so fucking hard. VKM's obsession with a part-timer who would often hold the world championship then, in addition to rarely showing on tv, would only defend the fucking thing every third or fourth PPV had a pretty clear hand in lowering interest.

Brock Lesnar could have been the best worker in the world (which he's not, although he's an impressive physical specimen who can do a handful of moves incredibly well) with the best promo in the business (which he was never known for) and it would have been a stupid idea. It's hard to get people to care about a brand with an AWOL champion.

Granted, it was just one part of a larger trend of VKM burying the current roster (except Roman Reigns) in favor of part-time attractions which is just another reason why the WWE has struggled to build stars despite having a tremendously talented roster.

And thinking about Brock Lesnar, it still pisses me off how much the WWE fucked up poor Shelton Benjamin. The shit that they stuck him with -- like that Shelton's mama gimmick -- could have buried anybody. (Granted, it still wasn't as bad as the Beaver Cleavage gimmick which was DOA, or that time they put Vito in a dress for no fucking reason.) They've always under-used him, misused him, or just straight abused him despite the fact he's an incredible talent. (Granted, in the time I wasn't watching, apparently he was used in the Hurt Business which, by the time I learned it was a thing, he'd already been removed from >_<)
