I actually just posted this to one of the VTuber subreddits because I thought of that exact thing, but we'll see. I'm not sure how many of the major VTubers are in the US, as it's probably more than I think, but I don't really dive into PLs that much unless it's kinda 'mandatory', as with Fuwamoco, as their rise doesn't make much sense if you don't know the backstory behind them leaving their PL.
I can see how, I was just looking at this line of the press release:
Additionally, the Commission has eliminated a provision in the proposed rule that would have required employers to legally modify existing noncompetes by formally rescinding them. That change will help to streamline compliance.
I guess what that means is that they don't have to edit contracts to remove the non-competes, they just have to notify the employee.

This is the link to the rule in full.
Can be, but I've seen enough normies at work talking about Clark that I genuinely think the interest isn't artificial. As much as you might hate women's sports, the fact that it's collegiate women's sports will always boost it since people's emotional attachment to their alma maters is the entire appeal of college sports to begin with. As much as you may absolutely want the interest to be fake, I just don't think it is at the moment.
Kinda? The Women's Final Four and Women's D1 Championship game got more viewers than the Men's Final Four and Men's D1 Championship game this year, but I think that's entirely because this year's NBA Draft class is some hot garbage, in terms of this class' expected impact on the NBA. The last time the NBA had a draft class this bad was the 2000 Draft, who's best player ended up being Hedo Turkoglu.
I think the problem moreso is that the three generations we've had that have had unlimited access to porn have been affected by it and yet we're absolutely fucking scared of talking about it.
Also, what do you think about VShojo just leaning into being a Nijisanji refugee camp?
Hundreds upon hundreds of American athletes, including the likes of Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan have been swindled out of money, so it’s not like this isn’t something that couldn’t have happened to him.
The reason that Ippei even had the access he did was because in the end, he was more like Ohtani’s personal assistant, to the point where Ippei is on record saying he spends more time with Ohtani than he does with his wife. Ippei was the one who actually set up Ohtani’s “MLB account” (the bank account that the Angels and now the Dodgers deposit his salary into), and had the login info.
That account hadn’t been touched from when it was set up in 2018 to when Ippei started illegally gambling in December 2021, and all of the IP addresses the logins came from were from devices logged to Ippei. Ippei would frequently pretend to be Ohtani to the bank to get money to gamble, and was the only person in Ohtani’s circle other than Ohtani that understood Japanese, hence why he was able to keep Ohtani’s financial advisors (Ohtani’s endorsement money goes to accounts supervised by them) away from the MLB account, because he told them that Ohtani wanted that account private.
For those of you who aren't familiar, this incident is essentially what got CM Punk fired from AEW (CM Punk is the one wearing the XXX hoodie). AEW announced that they were going to release this during the WrestleMania buildup after CM Punk went on a podcast talking about it and how he only "choked Jack Perry a little", and well, this is very fucking underwhelming.
I've seen worse in high school locker rooms before a game/practice, worse fights between my siblings, and I can go on. What makes this even funnier is that the fight went exactly how CM Punk said it did and many people thought that he was lying about the extent of the violence when he never did. Tony Khan, the owner of AEW, said that Punk 'lunged' at him and made him 'fear for his life'. This footage isn't even a lunge, this just doesn't do anything for AEW as a product and it's just overall rather shit.
Them calling it sports entertainment, calling the fans the WWE Universe, etc was a Vince thing, and this whole build to WrestleMania, this whole renaissance of the WWE only happened because 1) AEW is semi-viable competition for talent and 2) Triple H took over creative from Vince.
A lot of why WWE was what it was for the 15 years before Vince got forced out is because Vince would throw a fit and re-write episodes of Raw and Smackdown the day of, so shit wouldn't even make sense. The terminology thing however is entirely just a "Fuck Vince" thing.
Dwayne has to film like 3 movies so he's gonna be gone for a while, but I do think that Cody's first challenger is gonna be someone we don't expect, since Seth is actually injured and needs surgery, Roman's still taking leukemia drugs and that's why he's a part timer and I'm not sure what the rest of the cast wants to do.
Same with Priest, the main thing that comes to mind after the cash in is maybe Finn Balor leaves the Judgment Day?
I think two of Naomi, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair challenge the Kabuki Warriors for the Women's Tag Titles and they set up Jade for either Ripley or Bayley, doesn't matter which one to me.
The men's midcard is so weird to me, I'm not sure how they're gonna book it, but that's just me, since I only really started watching WWE again when Punk returned.
I don't know how much you actually paid attention to it, but I guess it's because the WWE gave the team a commerative belt & the Chiefs' General Manager's son (who is the kid that one player saved) is a massive WWE fan, so it was just easy to do it. That's not the first time I heard that phrase before, 'trauma programming', but I'm still confused by what it means.
Idk who’s alt this is, but nah, ended up lying about it and getting a second bandage to pretend at the time
