The YouTube link to the Nick Mullen IBM commercial is dead now. Did they remove it to renounce Nick Mullen?

Yeah I'm pretty sure I overrate him, but I like his type of stories and structure (except ending a story which he is bad at) and magical realism/old gods living in the present appeals to me a lot.

Pro Wrestling is basically capitalism incarnate and its hilarious that if I had the money to start a sizable fed and go "Okay now I want to consider you guys workers so you can form a union and health/travel will be insured" I would instantly become the greatest owner in the history of pro wrestling.

bernie also was kinda slow to release his taxes, because clinton has been running for national office for the past 20 years she was rapid to deploy hers, bernie released his tax stuff and it was...something about them I guess? Like, he released one form but not another and clearly in THAT form that's the one where he wrote "SECRET RUSSIAN DONATIONS" so he's hiding something.

Like, the only actual critique of his tax poo poo was that it was kinda a dick movie that in one interview he was all 'well my wife handles the taxes you need to ask her'. Like, yea, minor dick move when 'yea we're workin on that' would be just as good.

By which I mean he basically shot all women in the back while screaming "I'LL NEVER TALK ABOUT MY RUSSIAN JEW MONEY!!!!"

As someone who took a bit to shake the 'but what about trump's taxes????' mind myself Chapo was 100% right that 'but the taxes' is maybe the single dumbest way to attack any politician ever, because it requires them to be both cartoonishly corrupt where they're just boldface taking obvious felony level fraud stuff, but also so stupid they don't hide it and just write "ILLEGAL TAX STUFF" on the forum. It's like they expect there to be a line in either of their taxes that says "TREASON MONEY".

I need something stronger.

It has nothing to do with "ILLEGAL TAX STUFF," but between tax returns and financial disclosures, it can become much clearer where people's connections are. Tax returns can give a more complete picture than yearly financial disclosures, but I'm sure the Dry Boys wouldn't be happy if Trump decided to nix doing those. All Bernie had to do to release his was call his accountant; it's not some complex act. It's a dumb thing to drag your feet on releasing, but it's also a dumb to still bring up once it's been released.

ICP are seen as great wrestling company owners with JCW because they pay their workers well and on time. The most carny act in a carny industry treat the workers like actual people and it's why they can always gets decent names working for them.

I have to say I love that ICP is having a face turn in 2017.

Terry Funk found out that theyade a bunch of money selling a bootleg of a Japanese hardcore show that he worked on with a comedy commentary dub over it and was rightfully mad

This got back to ICP, who reached out to him and arranged to visit him at his ranch and talk to him and apologize

They visit him, spend an hour or two talking, shake hands, leave. Terry Funk finds an envelope full of money on the counter that they just left there without saying a word about it

Icp are his favorite band now and he's never listened to any of their songs

Verrit is literally some dumbshit citation system for arguing with your dad on Facebook. It's like snopes, but requires more effort and is worse in every single way.

Imagine an online argument about whether Obama is a muslim, but instead of a link that the person clicks on which says "no he's not a muslim" he has to go to a website and then enter a code on his own.

Except that there's not actually a Verrit code for Obama not being a secret Muslim because it's all inspirational worldview quotes and poo poo.

as far as i can tell a verrit code is only useful for telling you whether or not the verrit you got the code from is real, not whether the thing in the verrit is actually true. verrit.

Yes. Verrit is based on the assumption that everyone already trusts verrit as the sole arbiter of facts.
