It's interesting that because some of the giants said Nika is a god of destruction it's possible the previous apocalypses were caused by Nika

"There's a siege on Marygeosie, the pants budget has run out entirely" -

Things are already in motion! I'm interested by what Jarul meant by Loki following in Nika's footsteps, it seems like there's a lot of possible interpretations of Nika's legend on Elbaph.

Let the struggle session begin

If this was 2010 this would be printed on a ThinkGeek tshirt

Y'all say this now, but we'll see who's laughing when the Ontario Liberation Front formally establishes the People's Republic of Toronto

It's 100% the same. Whenever someone asks where the settlers will go I always point to South Africa where, despite living under apartheid, they did not kick the settlers out.

No notable Indigenous movement in North America I'm aware of has advocated for sending back settlers, it's about self determination.

Uncharacteristically bad take from Prashad here. Settler colonialism is inextricably linked to capitalist imperialism, if you don't believe one I don't think you can credibly believe in the other. And mistakenly conflating nations with ethnicities and doing the "where are the poor settlers supposed to go?" strawman nonsense! Unbelievable!

The Indigenous peoples of North America are not ethnically homogeneous, but they all went through shared historical experiences under settler colonialism that constitutes a distinct nation in contrast to the settler nation that established a nation-state. The nation the state was formed around does not contradict the mode of production and that it is still the bourgeoisie in the position of power.

At least he still makes the reasonable conclusion that we need to move away from the nation-state model towards a plurinational model.

The owl seems sus? And I wonder what the infiltrators want with Loki?

I had this earlier this year while staying with my inlaws for a few weeks. The mattress in their spare room was a super uncomfortable spring type and the pillow was way too thin and soft. I think the way I was sleeping to compensate for the discomfort of the bed was also putting a ton of pressure on my shoulder joint.

What helped me was alternating the side I slept on, positioning my shoulder in a way to avoid putting pressure on it while sleeping, and in the morning doing shoulder circles to slowly iron out my range of motion.

And the seat of power is currently vacant, which begs the question who calls the shots on Elbaph now and are they the true reason Loki has been chained up?

So the former king wanted the kingdom to pursue trade and weaken the military and he was supposedly killed by his son that loves fighting?

Also Ripley looks very cool

Honestly the only issue with that is Hangman doesn't wear hats often enough

"There's ya problem, ya got yer cowboy set to 'unbridled vengeance' instead of 'noble justice' "

USB cables probably

The frisbee dog is one of the best images of all time

I think Anna is probably most improved 2024 in AEW, the 5 Star GP did wonders for her. Even her promos seem better

Jay White, Orange Cassidy, and Hangman Adam Page

Will they be able co-exist?!

• Orange Cassidy vs PAC from AEW Revolution 2020 - Orange Cassidy overall is a fantastic gateway because his gimmick is fun in the wink-wink way that gets people past the "it's fake" barrier, but then when he takes it up a notch it's easy to cheer for him and it's so effective paired against someone no nonsense like PAC. This match does a really good job in establishing OC's gimmick and sets you up for wanting to see more.
• Will Ospreay vs Ricochet from NJPW Best of the Super Juniors 2016 - This match is awesome, it's one of the matches sold me on NJPW. The Junior Heavyweight style is high action and fast paced, it makes for a can't look away watch.
• The Revival vs #DIY from NXT Takeover Toronto 2018 - This one requires a watcher that's willing to pay attention but it's a GOATed tag team match if they do, no notes.
• [Bryan Danielson vs Kenny Omega from AEW Grand Slam 2021 (no link 😔 ) - Another awesome athleticism match but in a different way to Ospreay/Ricochet. This is a fantastic showcase of two different styles done by two guys that mesh incredibly well together.

I could probably come up with more but generally I think any newbie recommendation needs a few key things:

• a hot crowd to keep the vibe up
• some sort of distinct attraction, e.g. a crazy spot, a match gimmick, an appealing wrestler gimmick, etc
• not too lore heavy. Recommending someone's first match be Omega/Okada 3 or Omega and Hangman vs the Bucks or something is waaaay too much too fast
• knowing your audience. Something my partner has taught me is that if you know what someone's type is you can find a wrestler that fits and they will be almost certainly into them in some capacity

That subreddit is an op. It conveniently started trending with complaints against the strike and all the mods are right wing freaks who'll ban you if you comment in support the workers.
