To be fair… Miranda’s ass.
Miranda doesn't have an ass. She has flapjacks.

I can't find it now, but there was this hilarious Tweet made meme about Ashley that centered on the Ashley vs Kaiden argument. And an Ashley person said that if you kept her she had a great story arc. The Kaiden person said 'She has an amazing arc in my canon too. You meet her, she's really racist, then she dies in a nuclear explosion. Beginning, middle, end."
They are both terrible, but I find Kaiden to be such an insufferable beta boy, always asking for "clarification" on things and needing coddling. At least Ashley is hot in ME3.
They both should have survived Virmire and Ashley should have been blown out of the Normandy with Shepard and set up as an Illusive Man insurance policy had Shepard gone rogue as he did. Or, that's what they should do in the movies/streaming series instead of the generic Kai Leng nonsense.
Also... it's amazing how right people are about the Indoctrination theory and yet so wrong about the actually nature of it. The whole game is about Indoctrination and the choices are whether or not the Reapers successfully were able to capture Shepard. There are numerous signs pointing at the Reapers trying to indoctrinate and the visage of the little boy who died on earth is Shepard's conscious keeping him from succumbing. That's why the Catalyst took the shape of the boy, so they could manipulate Shepard's emotions and get him to move towards the direction of full control and choosing synthesis or control. The only reason Bioware has never confirmed the Indoctrination theory is because the equation is correct, the solution and answer aren't. -
Wow, looks like I was right for the last year or so.
Now Cole costs Omega the title against Page at Full Gear and we'll be off.
Best show AEW has produced since prior to the pandemic. It's true, it's true!

I feel like The Force Awakens is happening for me. Everyone is saying how great it is, but when i entirely see it I'll be thinking "was it though?" When i days i never really saw Punk wrestle, i mean it. I've never seen a match of his. I've seen the promos especially on YouTube. I keep thinking is this guy going to make me watch AEW. I almost never watch it live. It's all on DVR and i get forward through the majority of the matches depending on who it is.
He was enough to force me out of "wrestling" when The Company fucked him, and he's enough to bring me back into it full time. I haven't bought wrestling merchandise in eight years; that's going to change when Shop AEW lets me. Give me Danielson and Cole now. Even better: get me Johnny Gargano so we can actually have the best wrestler in North America in a talent pool where he belongs instead of dork circus fests in NXT.

AEW is All Elite and finally lives up to it's name. Just need The Final Countdown in a month from now and I might actually go back into the company after taking a break from the sex scandals in 2020 turning me off. The sooner Punk takes a dump on the Elite dorkfest and they get flushed down the toilet, the better. And please, Tony, cut a 1/3 of the indy performers. And everyone in Dark Order except for Silver. If you need inspiration for culling your stables, see the Tournament of Power arc from Dragon Ball Super. You're welcome for the idea.

I don't. They're for weak minded people. Or at least the ones who died who I went to school always were. In the age where cannabis is more available, I don't understand why anyone would still be popping pills.

So, despite planning on staying home this year, I did end up going to the polls, and here's why: voting is one of those "sacred cows" I was referring to in the Trump Administration thread that I am still "in the closet" about to my family and friends, including my parents. Most years it's been somewhere in town enough blocks away that driving was necessary, so for the 2018 Senate and House race I went out, drove around a little bit, then came home saying I voted. This year, however, they moved it to just around the block, within walking distance, and I would have stayed home had my father not been home as well. Since it would have been hard to fake it, I just decided to go and fill out a "protest" ballot. I had some fun with it.The following was the result (not a troll post):
I'm so happy I have to elope now in order to appreciate my rights for a moment before they're stripped away while you make the whole process out into a joke reflective of your existence, pissant loser.

Orville was cancelled. Surprised it even lasted three seasons; thought it was mediocre.
Oh well... there's always DISCO and real Star Trek.
-
I think I got as far as the Rikers and I called it. This was awful and totally unnecessary. When does Mass Trek: Discovery come back? It's the only show produced post-TOS that actually was consistently entertaining in it's freshman and sophomore seasons. People just need to recognize that television's landscape has changed AND a portion of the audience also needs to recognize that they haven't paid attention to a single moment of Star Trek for the "SJW" snowflake remarks I see with EVERY anti-DISCO rant I've seen. Like, what have these incels been watching the last 54 years?
-
So much cringe watching the clip of The Fiend with Bliss. Then again, this is the same brand which thinks the Sheamus/Jeff Hardy piss test and overall the same company that enjoys cuckolding is entertainment. The rapey vibe of that final segment Friday night was disgusting. I know the only people who are watching is whoever was watching back in the 80s when they were in high school, but good **** this ain't, Vince!
-
Note to self: cancel HBO Max next year for the summer and keep my VPN and BitTorrent handy because while it's bad enough Jar Jar Abrams is likely going to have his phallic snoot up DC's bottom in the next couple of years, I'm not giving WarnerMedia any ideas that me watching and subscribing equals wanting to see Snyder near another DC property ever again. Dude should have been fired in 2016 and Justice League should have never been made.

Taker's retirement is long overdue and I honestly haven't been a fan of any of his bookings post-WrestleMania 26. The Streak shouldn't have been broken by Brock and the one match that would have been bank at Mania they made into a squashed joke. Taker and Cena would have been a better bout than Taker and Brock and they should have saved the Streak for Roman. The way the Streak was handled, with nothing to show from it, it really impacted Taker's legacy on top of him just limping along the last ride.
I hope he's done for good and rests in peace.

I'll give a fuck about what zoomers think when the ones I've observed can figure out how to do anything without needing YouTube or wifi to tell them how to do it. I'll also give a crap about their two cents when they find a work ethic and not rely on people to carry them.

Probably the best game I've played since ME2 and I never played the original.

If I could go back in time, tell myself to wait two years and not buy the PS3: SE that they paraded as a new system, I would have held out and just gone with the One S and bought the PS4 when an exclusive came along. In six years, I think I've only finished three or four games on the PS4 whereas, thanks to the revolutionary Game Pass Ultimate (the best streaming service available IMO), I've probably played three times that on the One S in 8 months. The DS4 also is extremely uncomfortable and the Xbox controller is flawless and fits in my hand like a glove. I love the fact that the controllers will be forward compatible and Microsoft doesn't need to correct perfection - I've never heard a valid complaint against it that didn't sound like juvenile fanboyism.
Xbox Series X just didn't give a fuck about design; they went more practical. PS5 just looks like an oversized router dressed in EVE's skin. The only in Sony has with me over the next decade is FF7R-2 and that's going to be three years at the least; I don't see the hype with Sony and it's exclusives except Uncharted and that's done. Spider-Man was really just redressed Arkham.

Only chance I'm taking with the theater is with Tenet and that's going to be if they hold onto the film for about a month or two, the first matinee showing of the last week, and I'm buying seats around me so I'm not being coughed on because I have no doubts that people will get sly and not keep a mask on for the duration of the show because theaters don't keep in house ushers and don't check the houses at all during the FP.

And speaking of death, official cause of death is always difficult and is a judgment call more than anything else. Thats why its more accurate to say COVID-19 related deaths. In many cases it isnt the disease itself, but the disease creating circumstances where the person will die from an underlying condition that wouldnt have killed them so quickly in the absence of it.
Just from my own point of view, it's scarily similar to an AIDS related case where it may not be the virus that kills the person but will accelerate a condition that will. I agree with you. What's just more scary is that there's never too careful with this thing and the tragic cases of people who were doing their best social distancing still catching it and dying. Pre-diabetic and chronic bronchitis, not risking exposure at all.
Be well.

I was illegally terminated because of the virus when I went out sick at the end of March because of an ill timed case of chronic bronchitis and self quarantined after. Actually fought me on the self quarantining and I got a notice of termination dating it back to when I went out sick. Unemployment took three days all together for 8 weeks of back UI and PUA because I explained the exact circumstance to the woman over the phone. NY has it's perks. I've just been writing a book and keeping healthy and laughing at the mental deficiency of some of the states in the country.

I'm less interested in J.J. Abrams films now since his last three were all creatively bankrupt. And if I see the name Kasdan on the writer credits, I know not to give it the same credit as the name that's attached to two of the best films in the start of the 80s. The only ones I'd trust with Star Wars are Filoni, Favreau, and Johnson; Johnson has shown potential to make great Star Wars stories, he just doesn't need to be handcuffed and handicapped by J.J.'s bad habits. Probably the best writer/director the franchise has had that was met with the grossest neanderthalic behavior I've seen from a toxic fanbase which is probably what really turned me off more to the franchise. The prequels were tamer and much less toxic to navigate through.

It's pretty obvious that there's nothing left in the tank and WWE is pretty much on its last legs before the industry finally becomes the niche market it's been gravitating towards and loses primary coverage outside of cable. The pandemic has definitely proven the emperor has no clothes. You would think that if your live attendance was plummeting and you need to keep your revenue flowing in your TV deals to stay viably afloat on top that you'd try with your creative! I'm looking forward to Fox wisening up and using their Disney money on better investments because Murdoch also showed his age by making an awful deal on a dying industry. The company is way overvalued and in a couple of years, Vince and the company are going to face some hard times because I don't see Fox renewing SD or giving them half of the current deal, which will give NBCUnversal more leverage in their negotiations. And now they're filming multiple takes for match spots? It's so pathetic right now. And NXT has really been a shell of its former glorious self since the move to USA. Should have stayed on the Network but they wanna play war, meanwhile giving subscribers one less initiative to subscribe...

I can't give too much of a shit about this show. Just Republican McMahon accepting blood money from a terrorist state while diminishing the work done with the women's division. I hope the ladies are enjoying the weekend off.

It doesn't really look that good and I suspect, just like Black Panther, the reviews are being too generous because of certain aspects and instead of judging a piece of work on it's actual merits, it gets a free pass from the SJW infestation in film criticism circles. Will probably get a Best Picture nomination, too.
