I don't want more apps, I want to return to ~~monke~~ early 2000s web forums.

The AI pathing could use some help, I'll admit.

Most sports never make the news. Even in the US it's pretty fringe except for the wrestlers who transition to Hollywood, like John Cena or Dave Bautista. Though it had a heyday from the Hulk Hogan era through Stone Cold and The Rock when people were much more aware, generally. I don't know anyone who watches but I know a bunch of people who used to watch.

Sports theater as well.

Quick little history of the last century in the UK.

Active circuits are pretty much everywhere.

Growing my hair out forever ago is how I learned (started, anyway) I have only a faint attachment to the male identity. I got called "ma'am" with surprising regularity and it never bothered me to be misgendered. My hair's still long, but I'm fat and bearded so waitstaff are a lot more confident from all angles. People were a lot more casually homophobic back then too, but girls loved to play with it so the joke's on them.

I've always kept it brushed and loose unless I'm working and need it out of the way. (Or it's windy. Damned wind.)

I don't think all sports need to be contests, that's just the most common association people have. Surfing and rock-climbing are still sports even if you never enter a competition.

Wrestling has a significant presence in Central America, Japan, and Europe. Presumably other regions as well but I really don't follow the sport so my experience is all second-hand.

Seems like a gross misunderstanding of life insurance and the wishes of the deceased, but people get weird about death.

Hahahaha.

We invaded it during the Spanish-American war to "liberate" Cuba (remove competing colonial power from our neighborhood) and set up a permanent Naval base there "for their protection." We then pushed them into an infinite contract for two thousand dollars a year. That price has since gone up: as of 1974 we have been giving then FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR, a pittance that the post-revolutionary government of Cuba refuses out of principle.

It is stolen. Human Rights Violation Land isn't the only purpose, it's also to punish Cuba for ever daring to defy us.

Fuck. This. Country.

That's the neat part, we stole it and refuse to give it back because it's very important to have a permanent torture prison where laws don't apply.

Fuck this country.

I'm surprised there's not a bigger anti-Christian movement among the various colonized cultures, to be honest.
