Considering the very concept of "late stage capitalism" is the Marxist Leninist version of the end times, with the revolution being their equivalent of the rapture/the second coming, I would have been surprised if it had been any other way.
As the son of a geologist: yes.
Also roughly estimating water hardness, and even mineral composition when he was younger and didn't smoke his taste buds into oblivion.
My thoughts
Haru is truly an incredible rookie, and her booking reflects that Koda sees it too.
She's known to have been a fan before joining, but she's also more than just a TJPW fan, she's clearly a passionate wrestling fan in general, as exemplified by her choice of submission, a remarkably old school armbar for someone so young.
And not only does she show measurable improvement and variety in every match, her wins all make sense in context.
For instance, I had an issue with how Mizuki won her title off of Yuka, it felt more like Yuka losing in that one last flurry than Mizuki having a gameplan and beating the odds.
Haru? Nah. She's written like a thinker. She doesn't win against people above her in the card cause she's stronger, or more athletic, or more passionate, she wins cause she has an ace in the hole ready specifically for her opponent, because she lives and breathes wrestling.
She reversed Wakana's submission smoothly into her finisher, and she stunned Toga when she was setting up her Uranage after working her right arm (a key to all her signature offence) the whole match to snatch the win.
The only other person who gets and uses fight psychology like this in TJPW, in my mind, is Misao, who happens to be my other fave in the company.
Everyone else understands drama, they get both drama and building a match in a way that makes technical sense.
I am exceedingly happy that Haru got her win without making Toga feel like any less of a threat, and that they're even challenging together.
Yes, I have thought about this too much, why do you ask?
Not only that, even the ADL try as they might can't really make that claim with their chests. They qualify that pepe edits exist that have antisemitic connotations, which is true of literally any of the 4chan template meme characters.
There's nazi trollfaces, nazi wojacks, nazi chads, you can't use that as a reason to call pepe an antisemitic dogwhistle.
Well he's not wrong...
Worth mentioning that the main US senator supporting this, Mark Warner, received substantial donations from Disney, which also poured 1.5 billion (with a B) dollars into Epic Games.
Wouldn't be surprised if some bigwig at Disney pushed for this investigation, too, especially given how fucking flimsy the results were (55% of all hate symbols were fucking pepe the frog).
The word consumer is so demeaning...
I doubt they were trying to be complimentary.
Wasn't one of the Witcher 3 expansions already either nominated or even a winner a few years back?
then ship to a nearby country that’s not under tariffs to finish the assembly and ship from there.
The wonders of arbitrage.
If you look back at her primary in 2020, she was.
Hard to wash that off with some last minute recanting, like with fracking and other such campaign claims.
Her hand was tipped as to her ideal term in office 4 years ago, I'm surprised Trump didn't use that shit in attack ads given how much more stereotypically progressive she was then.
Personally I called it in when a clip of hers saying "we've got to get woke" (not sure about the wording but the word woke was used positively) from some talk show aimed at black people from this year came out.
You need to live in a parallel dimension to think that word is not absolutely fucking nuclear waste in the political discourse rn.
The annual Princess Cup event of TJPW started yesterday with a good (if predictable) first round.
Is anyone else following it? What are your predictions?
The 10th annual Tokyo Princess Cup tournament is over, momentous occasion for a lot of reasons, and a genuinely great performance in the final. Share your thoughts here.
Do you watch TJPW? Why or why not?
Who did you hope was going to win? Who did you expect was going to?

Yesn't.
Gaben said stuff to the effect "of steam were to shut down we would take steps to allow your library to stay offline forever" but that is nowhere in the tos and also doesn't really mean much for the fear that steam will stay and progressively enshittify.
