Only, the hardcore wrestling takes up most of the day, and at night I just like a cup of tea. I mightn't be able to devote myself full time to the old racism.

Is calling Hulk Hogan by his birth name supposed to depower him or something, I would have never even known who that man was talking about if it wasn’t pointed out in the next post

Yeah, it would be like calling Honky Tonk Man..... Wayne? I think that is his name? Who the gently caress thinks of Hulk Hogan when they hear “Terry”?

Reminder: actual native fluency is impossible for adult learners :eng101:

Adult learners can get pretty close, though.

I'm not saying it's OK to be making GBS threads on Asuka for her language, I just want to point out that if you're an adult and want to learn a language don't let things like this discourage you. You can get to C2 in most European languages with some hard work. I know plenty of people who learned English or Spanish to "fluency" in their late teens and early 20s.

I know it's hard work because I've lived in Latin America for over 6 years and I'm still probably not even A2 with Spanish.

My favourite thing about Terry Bollea is that he doesn’t have a ten-inch dick, but Hulk Hogan does.

Yeah, but if somebody out of nowhere with zero context said,"loving lol that they paid Wayne to go to Hatfield, Connecticut! :lol:" you probably wouldn't think,"Ahh, that's the Honky Tonk Man they're talking about."

It's especially bad with Hogan because, as mentioned earlier in the thread, probably 99% of people associate the name Terry in a wrestling context to Terry Funk.

It's actually pretty understandable when you realize that the guy with a big WWF logo on his hat has, like many people, tied his personal identity up with the corporate product he consumes, and so views even the mildest criticism of WWE by Dave and others as a deeply personal attack on himself.

Either that or he's just a moron. :v:

Modern capitalism is completely divorced from the actual production side of it's own economic system, favouring instead the gambling and facade of health favoured by the stock trading classes and it is doomed to collapse. A Marxist tweet.

The promotion of the year criteria takes into account money made. I feel wwe coming in 2nd in best and 1st in worst is a good representation of the year they had. I’ll also accept 1st in best and worst.

Their readers almost certainly voted it the worst because of the Saudi stuff alone (same for Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic which it also won), and were completely right to do so if that was the case

That's real dumb. In that it doesn't even make sense. Like, in canon all of Jay's friends are Tongan or Japanese. He might be a self centered dick but he's clearly not a nazi.

What, exactly, do they expect Kayfabe Switchblade Jay White to tweet in this scenario? "Actually I'm glad they're dead because something something HEEEEATTTT?" I'm pretty sure "Breathe With The White Supremacist" shirts aren't going on Hot Topic racks anytime soon.

It's the "Michael Bay is a great director because Transformers 5 made $400M in profit (because it cost like $50M after Chinese tax breaks)!" argument, equating financial success with artistic worth.

I mean, Aquaman and Captain Marvel both made/are making a fuckton of money too, but neither of them are close to the best movie that has or will be released this year. (I enjoyed both, but they both have a ton of problems too)

I mean if Jay had tweeted "I'm appalled at this mass murder. Ban guns so all mass murderers will use knives instead #breathewiththeswitchblade" it would be really insensitive, but it would be in character.
