faqs:

is this real? / i thought pro wrestling was fake? wrestling is 'fake' in that the fights are choreographed and the winner is predetermined, but the physicality is very real. there's no way to 'fake' getting whipped with a metal chain so hard it leaves welts.

why ARE they chained? this is a specialty fight called a 'dog collar match' where both participants are, you guessed it, fitted with dog collars which are then chained together.

is this legal? / how can this be allowed? why wouldn't it be? they're both consenting adults who planned and agreed to it.

but they could be seriously hurt! they know, and they accept the risk. pro wrestlers are well aware of the injuries possible in their line of work, and they do it anyway because they're crazy people.

IS there aftercare? of a sort, yeah - there's a medical team on hand to patch everyone up, and lots of coworkers backstage to give them a 'job well done!'

why are they wearing thigh highs? they're kneepads/shin guards for protection. looking like sexy thigh highs is just a bonus side effect!

ok, but why's that guy in a shiny speedo? personal preference. wrestlers can design their own outfits and some prefer full coverage long tights, while others wear less to show off the gams.

is that cm punk? yup! he unretired last year.

why do straight men watch this? i'm still trying to figure this one out. 🤷

#is this just kinky as hell to anyone else or like#is that just me? 

Nah mate two half-naked muscular men chained together by their dog collars whipping the shit out of each other with chains in a ritualised power struggle with a predetermined dominator and submitter of the interaction in a public ring is wholesome family entertainment

"i only support kinks if they're consensual 🫤" sorry to upset this certain brand of (usually) anti-kink virtue signallers, but kink is inherently consensual. kink without consent is just rape. kinksters are not more or less likely to rape someone. and no, that kink you find gross or immoral isn't rape, either, it's just a kink that you happen to dislike.

"i only support sex if it's consensual" < well fucking obviously, lad, because "sex without consent" is just rape. when someone says they had sex, you don't immediately question if it was actually secretly rape, do you? so why treat kink and kinksters differently?

so so crazy to hear the conversation in the US about "if employees get 1 or god forbid two whole weeks of vacation they will all drop their jobs and leave forever" when all my european friends have jobs with like 3+ week minimum vacation time. Some as many as 6. I know of people with 8 weeks of vacation because they're past a certain age.

"is 10 days of vacation time too much" jump off a fuckin bridge you hack journalist

[bloodraven55]

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

[bloodraven55]

like you do realise that the entire point of set up and pay off is that you’re supposed to pick up on the clues the writers give you right? you do understand that plot twists only work when they retroactively make sense bc there were hints building up to the reveal right??

While the 90s were not good by any means - by most measures, anyway - I do wish that politics still had some pretense of being serious and dignified business for grownups. A little bit of decorum in there. We can't just have two opposing sides who both go by "empathy and common decency are faggot behaviour."

[oplishin]

okay but chess terminology is like. you pinned your opponent's hung knight and now you can mate? oh im sure

[garaks-padded-bra]

[brittlepredatordemon]

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

[autism-thoughts]

The anti-vax and anti-science propaganda is very real - and also, frankly I think doctors and nurses would've had an easier time getting people not to fall for it if they spent less time treating people like fucking shit

[autism-thoughts]

This post is about a lot of things but it is especially about racism, medical abuse, and eugenics

[autism-thoughts]

To be excruciatingly clear: This is a pro-vaccine blog and a pro-vaccine post.

I meant that the propaganda exists and has an impact, not that said propaganda is in any way accurate. All anti-vax and vaccine dubious replies and comments are disavowed by me, and potentially to be deleted. Anyway vaccines work and I might not be housebound right now if I had been physically healthy enough to get my flu shot last fall. Get your fucking shots, for yourself and for the people who fucking can't.
