Chapo got banned, checked out chapo.chat, found the “under construction” page with what i think was “call me maybe” as a chiptune playing, and joined a little while after.

My wife saw a charcuterie board and under her breath said “charcussy”. I have been repeating that basically every day to her since.

Your website will rot on the vine.

"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Every New Year’s i play the same two songs around midnight: This Year by The Mountain Goats and The Ice of Boston by The Dismemberment Plan. Both help me get through those turn of the year moods.

I think i was mostly over the wreddit crowd when every thread about Mox vs a njpw dad was filled with “literally who?”. It’s just like, you have the internet. Look him up. It’s not hard. But then again, that could be my low tolerance for complaining, especially from what are supposed to be fans. Granted, nobody wants to see me talk about Nick Bockwinkle vs Mad Dog Vachon or how great W*ING was, so that’s on me.

“Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name.”

As long as i am remembered, i exist. While my physical form may be rotting, i will hope that i made as much of an impact in this world as i did to me, and hope that my memory will never fade. It is for that reason that i keep soldiering on, never looking back, and trying to contribute to a better world.

So, there’s a certain level of suspension of disbelief that has to be done by the audience in order to enjoy the show. The purpose of the wrestlers is to entertain the audience in that state, which can be as simple as chain wrestling (which is only really enjoyed by a certain segment of hardcore fans) or as convoluted as a swanton bomb (which is a flip off the top rope). It’s more vaudeville, but it allows individual wrestlers to better adapt tge story of the match to the emotions in the audience. For example, at wrestlemania x8, hulk hogan was to play the bad guy, and the rock the good guy. The audience, however, sided with Hogan, which caused a decision between the two wrestlers to wrestle in a way that aligned them with the opposite of what they initially entered the match for. It’s understanding audience psychology and being able to adapt on the fly, thus fulfilling the preconceptions of the audience. It’s amazing to watch to skilled workers be able to manipulate the audience to their advantage, but even more incredible to see the audience force the workers to change their direction mid-match.

No problem! I’m obviously a bit biased since i’ve been a fan since the late 90s and dabble in the art (i’ve been an off and on pro wrestler since the late 00’s), but i view it as more as an improvisational art than i do a sport. It’s basically live theatre, with the actors and actresses having more to do with ballet then, say, combat sports and mma. It’s actually fascinating to see how professional wrestling had influenced sports as a whole. Muhammed Ali, for example, has cited Gorgeous George as the reason why he would trash talk his opponents. And Conor McGregor, well, he talks like he’s straight out of the WWE. Filthy Tom Lawlor is a guy who basically went from being a pro-wrestling character in the ufc to becoming a full-time pro wrestler. Never mind the fact that there’s been matches where the ring is an entire island, or floating in the pacific with pyrotechnics everywhere, or even more cinematic productions set entirely within a house (or not so cinematically in the case of ddt). All together, though, is it’s an art benched on the back of blood, sweat, and even more blood of its performers. There’s nothing “safe” about pro-wrestling, as even the tiniest mishap could cripple a person, but it’s done through years of training, fitness, and finesse, that it is able to continue.

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

What's the most efficient way for peeling potatoes by hand? (sh.itjust.works)

Like, I get comments from people telling me it’s weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and...

You know, thinking about it, i don’t think i have even seen a self-described “socialist” even bring up theorists or figureheads that they say influenced them. At most, it’ll be something like “someone told me they read Chomsky and they gave a quote that sounded pretty good” or “Bernie/AOC/The Squad say some pretty good things and i agree with them”. I don’t think i’ve ever seen someone talk about Kautsky or Bernstein or any of the other reformists.
