I started watching the 1999 documentary Beyond The Mat yesterday. Not far in, but some of the indie guys saying $25 for their night was good money is a bit of an eye opener.

Some indie guys still do

I used to be really into it but haven't watched for a few years now. I think I just got burned out on it, and I don't really connect to a lot of the new talent, especially the over choreographic acrobatic wrestlers that think it's just about flashy moves.

My highlight though was attending Wrestlemania 20 at MSG New York.

For someone who was once at the top of the game to have the rug pulled from under her and come crashing down so heavily was saddening to see.

I have always felt very sorry for her, I think she seemed like a pretty nice person who was working hard and who just fell into rubbish cause of her fella deciding to leave her for the bosses daughter and then it starting a spiral of crud.

spector: Well, I went to the Game On exhibition in Edinburgh, and it was quite good, a decent selection of machines and consoles, even if not all of them were working. I even enjoyed playing Ridge Racer... a PLAYSTATION game!!!

sephiroth81: "fully automated luxury communism" actually

Its just some interesting potential opportunities for AI and automation to help and free humans in the future, rather than enslave us. We need General Zod to implement it. Jul 29, 2024 19:50:33 GMT

spector: Having an AI prime minister sounds brilliant! After a few months it would use its superior intelligence to take over, then our possessions, our lands, our very lives would be at its mercy. In return, we shall be allowed to live!
