War Room Lounge v86: Just ensure they don't accidentally 'ban' you

[irish_thug]

Learned to skin on rabbits, so true. Very easy to clean, just a little guilt for bashing their heads in. That isn't very pleasant. But it's all forgotten by the time the fryer heats up.

BTW is renting stud roosters a thing? Like for a few days a month or something, to rile them up and maybe make a few new ones? i don't know anything about animal husbandry (wifery?)

I'm sure it is somewhere. I see people studding out goats and pigs, so why not.

I'm starting a conspiracy theory that Bill Barr is actually Steve Bannon.

He's too dishonest to be Steve Bannon.

Did your college not have any sports teams? Or you just weren’t allowed to use their gym? I was an athlete so idk what the situation was for you peasants.

And dumbbells are way better for bench than the smith machine. I wouldn’t advise anybody to bench in a smith machine.

They did but I only played rugby and that was a club sport, not varsity which did indeed keep us peasants from the good gym.

@Cubo de Sangre is a legit cool dude in my book. Sent me some stuff after the PotWR. I hope he comes back.

@senri did he ascended?

It got weird though because he started applying the way he (Wai) did bets to moderation. Like you’d tell him stop doing X and the guy would do essentially everything to do X while trying to claim some type of wording against how he was told not to do X. It was beyond dumb to do, especially with the final nail playing with racism. He pretty much decided to play around with the two main taboos here aside from porn and shouldn’t be surprised at all he’s banned.

I think there were some telltale signs, particularly in the lead up to his bet with Jack, that showed he was taking things waaaay too seriously. And the arrogant attempts at skirting rules were definitely a symptom of being here not to hang out and joke around, or have discussions about war room stuff, but rather to try (and in his case fail) to bully people.
The internet is not a kind place to those that insist on weird flexing all the time lol

What happens to Chris and Cubo?

Don't know.

I just finished watching The Irishman on Netflix. Good movie. Not in the same league as The Godfather, Casino, or Goodfellas, but better than most of the crap that comes out of Hollywood. Apparently some people are bitching that women didn't have enough words in the film.

But Paquin’s Peggy is markedly different from the female roles of Scorsese gangster films past; she is more a tool for expressing the protagonist’s moral blindness, and a vehicle that primes audiences to feel certain ways about other characters, rather than a fully drawn person.

Looking back, the wai situation all boils down to his inability to cope with his betting loss like a man. He imo did have the chance to make up for it, but tried doubling down in all instances, driving him over the edge gimmick wise.

My school had weightlifting as a club sport, and I know those guys had access to the same weight room at some times at least. But I don’t think other club teams did.

It’s definitely better to have full access for sure, but you have to balance that with potential overcrowding. Same as I didn’t have access to the same labs and facilities as students with different majors I guess.

But our gym was really awesome.

Feminists gonna feminist. Damn the script, and purpose of the characters within it. Paquin should've been the star of the movie, because she has a vagina. Also, Jimmy Hoffa should've been played by Kathy Bates.

Losing to Jack put deep cracks into a foundation that was never quite solid to begin with imo

The Senri ripoff was particularly cringe inducing

He got more concerned about running his gimmick than making quality post. If he would have dropped the gimmick he might have been able to recover. Sad really, he was capable of being a quality contributor.

Then going after him over the Prokofiev nom-bet stuck a wedge in it

Far too arrogant to accept being the butt of all our jokes. It ate him alive.

As a long-time practitioner of taking the Internet and Sherdog too seriously, there has to be some kind of release, like being able to crack a horrible joke about yourself in the middle of the "taking too seriously," or some other sincere focus that the too-seriousness doesn't get involved in, like objective polling analysis or lesbian submission wrestling.

With Wai, he was really worried that any crack in the veneer would make the whole thing fall apart, when the truth is that if he had just acted like a human being, or cracked more jokes about himself or acknowledged where he was wrong without trying to hedge that in some ridiculous copycat way using other posters' acts, people would have accepted him. Some people like to think of the Internets-old downward spiral of Wai as some sort of monk-like dedication to a flawless gimmick, but it's really just insecurity. And body pillow lust. Mostly it's body pillow lust.
