Cosign. And O'Neal shows he still knows electronic music by namechecking Umberto. (What about Huerco S., I ask!)

Yeah, it was more the physical than the "downshift gears" thing. Before I got back into Japanese wrestling, I completely forgot that, say, G-1 Climax has everybody wrestling all of the time, just not in the tournament matches, so they have to roll back.

He was coasting a bit at the end of his New Japan run for the "minor" shows, so, yes, I absolutely agree. It's not like he hasn't earned it, but I can't wait for his transition. Balor was so crisp and melodramatic with his movements that I want to see the same from Nakamura.

I'll be honest, some of his in-ring work has been so bad that I forgot how hyped I was when he came to the main roster, and then he'll wrestle a match that reminds me that "goofy brawler" is just a character he chooses to be, just like he did with Shield Ambrose and FCW Ambrose.

Yeah, I clearly remember the "real World Title" emphasis switching shows. The whole point of the belts is that they represent real roles on the show. It's not like there are 2 A stories just because there are 2 top-tier titles. We'll see what headlines.

I understand the 1 reason why they would make 2: so that people watching or attending feel their show is "important." But, goodness, that's some nonsense, especially when you have 5 (possibly a 6th with cruiserweights) across 2 main shows. It splits perfectly and doesn't degrade each title into a meaningless MacGuffin…

Yeah, he made it all ages and said "bring friends and family" to make it a good-natured party, but, like, I'm going with a plus 1 and only 30 rows back (internet connection randomly dropped during the purchase!) and Citicard users got 1st dibs and all of the worthwhile seats.

Hey, in Japan, there are (popular?) radio dramas that either repeat or extend video games' universes. Video games, the interactive art form.

Yup. I originally thought the modern purpose of conventions was to use the country's attention to recruit swing voters.

This feature's great, especially for letting them talk about more than the usual 5 subjects. Incidentally, 12-year old me would have loved Royal Headache.

1. I hear you, but so many districts/states make sure that entrance is by lottery. At best, you're going to have an effect of "engaged parents" who are more likely to be better parents looking for alternative options, so you're incidentally creaming. But in Milwaukee and many other places, we are not allowed, and we…

1. It's sincerely appreciated. Let me investigate. We do have legitimate contracts parents sign for these culminating class trips, but I have no idea what the actual liability would end up being despite having read the thing.
2. I hear you. It was awkward when a couple of people asked if we were an all girls' school…

1. No, it closes without me because the voucher amount is piddling because Democrats and suburban Republicans who hated it compromised with the Democrats and Republicans who were for it. "This can exist, but we're going to underfund it." Would you prefer "it closes without fundraisers?"

Oof, no room at the alternative school? That's just a hostile situation being created for all involved. For real, condolences, whether that was long ago or not.

A just god wouldn't let that happen. WE ARE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE.

That's put well, A.A. I find if I ever try to explain Kiarostami's work to people, it sounds like a parody of an arthouse film director. "It doesn't NEED to resolve the story at the end."

I have friends and acquaintances still at our alma mater, and when I saw that this existed, I had to ask what his daughter is like. (She also goes there.) The whole Trump rise while Ivanka watches made me wonder what effect that type of personality would have on a child.

1. Yeah, I know, it's more of a "genie out of the bottle" situation. What do we do now?

"Also, who gives a shit if people are having children out of wedlock? There's no guarantee a married couple will be better parents than an unmarried one, or even a single parent."
