Dudes in their 50s like Leo and Shay who fuck with 20 year olds is a risky fetish when you worth millions.

In shays case, it being with white women is playing with fire at a gas station. This nigga did this to himself.

I understand that people are making jokes of it in conversation, but the amount of "See!? He should have gone for a Black woman!" Takes that I'm seeing in certain spaces over this…

And nah. Nah! Black women deserve better than this! Better than Shannon Sharpe. This man is an abuser and, even if he weren't, he's still made his preference for everyone BUT Black women known. Black women are not the consolation prize for immature and/or abusive men. THIS MAN IS NOT A PRIZE.

We say, "get you an old gal." But he wouldn't be a good partner to that old gal. Because when it comes to Shannon Sharpe's maturity and character…it's insufficient funds.

RE can be so fucking weird talking about race. Like they're so busy here to boost up black women that they don't even seem to realize how they're putting down every other woman with that? Like what the fuck is this argument that none of this would have happened if Sharpe got with a black woman instead of a white one? And somehow that's not the part Royalan takes is issue with

Whenever a Black celebrity gets in trouble the BCT has to form a perimeter around the discussion and secure the narrative. More "Looks like ol' Unc is fuckin' up the bag smh" and less "this poor woman"  than you'd expect from a discussion on the right side of history. 

I just find all this feigned disbelief that it would EVEN occur to a famous and wealthy former athlete to "put his hands on a WHITE WOMAN?! (UNTHINKABLE!!!") to be adorable.

Speaking of:

Is the error messing with young women, or the sexual assault and abuse?

Rich guys messing with younger women is another Tuesday. This isn't.

It's been renamed from the Containment thread to the WWE OT, cute subtitle and all. Unfortunately, it would seem that the people in charge aren't interested in it being banned.

How long are we going to keep giving a pass to WWE and its stars?

It's constant controversy from the organization and all of their front facing stars have turned out to be giant pieces of shit for way too long.

I mean, how long did it take people to give up on Twitter? "Muh artists" etc.

So many people talking fondly about 4chan when you've been sitting at the same table as Nazis, and it's been a breeding ground for terrorists, is wild.

I hope it goes away forever, but it won't. I used to like the paranormal board back in the day for spooky stuff. I've of course seen Nazi and racist stuff on there but given I'm not a Nazi or racist it's not something I engaged with, it's not like a cold you can catch from being in proximity to it. Maybe a different argument for people financially contributing to the site.

Any advice regarding suicidal thoughts and active planning over this? 30 years of therapy and meds, 5 years of ketamine, and multiple hospital stays and a supportive family haven't done a thing.

Look into what options you have to get out of the country, if any. Check to see if other countries are looking for your skills, or if there are any you might be interested in moving to that have family ties to that you can use to get appropriate papers or if that have relatively cheap 'buy in' levels that you can afford.

I'm not planning on running because I've worked too hard to build a life for myself and I'll fight for it first, but it's still been helpful working to get everything in place so my options are stay here vs move abroad rather than stay alive or don't. It's helped somewhat limit the stakes.

Eh. Death and non-existence sound a lot more appealing TBH. The idea of never feeling anything at all again.

I guess I want to try and get a Switch 2 at least first, though after that I'll probably have literally nothing interesting me to keep going.

Hello. You asked about motivation to keep you alive in these times.

A reason to stick around? We'd miss you. Your family would too. Any birthdays coming up from a parent or nephew or anyone of that sort?

Funny thing, people missing me has always been the most common rebuttal. Y'know, the normal happy successful content people surrounding me in life would be sad if I died. So I should keep living this miserable worthless existence just to make their happy lives happier. Sure.

It was enough for my younger more naive/hopeful self to find motivation the first 5 years of ever-increasing suicidal depression. But after that it stopped mattering. And now I'm at 15 years.

I actually realized the other day too that their whole "You dying would destroy us" shtick they've also told me is a lie. My dad lost his brother abruptly when he was my exact age decades ago. And yet he, all his siblings, and his parents didn't fall apart and led happy successful lives. My eyes have been opened to the whole destruction myth because I've been living the proof all along.

I'm just not meant to exist, and honestly at this point, from what this site and every other one is saying, nobody really is any more. My family will be crushed for a little bit but eventually get back to their relationships and money and finding joy elsewhere and be fine, at least until extinction or collapse happens probably very soon.

My birthday's in two weeks, but I couldn't care less.

Because they do not care. They don't care about the terrible things the McMahons have done, they don't care about the wrestlers acting like shit, they don't care about the racism, they don't care about hulk hogan being a pos, they simply just do not give a fuck if it doesn't bother them personally. They don't even wanna know. They just wanna watch wrestling, fuck everyone else.

In shays case, it being with white women is playing with fire at a gas station. This nigga did this to himself.

And nah. Nah! Black women deserve better than this! Better than Shannon Sharpe. This man is an abuser and, even if he weren't, he's still made his preference for everyone BUT Black women known. Black women are not the consolation prize for immature and/or abusive men. THIS MAN IS NOT A PRIZE.

We say, "get you an old gal." But he wouldn't be a good partner to that old gal. Because when it comes to Shannon Sharpe's maturity and character…it's insufficient funds.

It's amazing the amount of passes this group gets but bans have happened for even mentioning certain games. The less attention and support WWE gets the more likely this can get fixed.

The thread isn't even named the containment thread anymore. It's obvious they don't really care.

I think that's the most amusing part of the whole thread. Most posters seem to saying "white women lie" and "he did that shit" simultaneously.

So I finally decided to give this a go and ... I really have to force myself forward. I'm a little over the halfway point (no way can I watch this in one go) and the acting is SO bad. It's the typical hyper-overacted acting that I know from other Japanese movies and tv shows, except this movie received so much praise that I expected ... better. Silly me, huh. I understand the budget was low, but the special effects look terrible. Godzilla himself looks bad both design-wise and in terms of animation. And then there's the horrible writing. So just to name once scene: Noriko is hanging from the inside of a train car that Godzilla hoisted up in the air. Luckily, she can let go of her grip when she's above a body of water. Good, she's save now. Then we see some dumb journalists on a rooftop filming Godzilla and thinking they're save, despite Godzilla just having destroyed literally EVERY other building except the one these journalists are standing on. Then the scene changes to street-level and SOMEHOW, Noriko managed to go from the save water place to the front of Godzilla's feet. Congratulations, girl, apparently YOU WANT TO DIE. Wtf, how did she get there?! It makes no sense. Then the hero appears out of nowhere and they start running from Godzilla ... of course, in a straight line in front of it. Prometheus could learn something from that scene. And to finish the nonsensicality of that entire scene, just before Godzilla's explosion wind blasts everyone away, Noriko pushes the guy into some backalley that she could have easily just jumped into together with him, and dies. Ok. She wanted to die. That's the only explanation that makes sense here :/

And now I'm at a scene where the professor that was previously forced to risk his life unarming sea mines, is now head of a project to kill Godzilla. And he brings up the most contrieved plan ever. Funny also when one of the guy's attending the meeting suddenly shouts "i can't do it. I have family! Lots of us do!" - dude, this whole meeting is voluntary, you chose to go there. Stop acting like anybody is forcing you to help kill Godzilla. Whatever.

"What's with all the praise" is obviously a rethorical question. Am I the odd one out or are there people agreeing with me? This really isn't a good movie. It might have been salvagable if it had been an anime.

[Propagandhim]
