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.
The entire point of the move to Vegas is to get money from the casinos. He purposely made the team bad, traded 118 WAR worth of players over the past 4 years and does everything possible to leech off of revenue sharing to justify the Vegas move to himself and Manfred.
The owners are only going along with this because the emotional blackmail of "give us taxpayer dollars for the stadium or we will relocate" only works if one of them actually relocates.

Vshojo functionally is just a legal team, merch warehouse and support staff for their talents, plus Projekt Melody is one of their most popular talents (for those who don’t remember, she debuted before COVID and there was an uproar from the Twitch girls back then about it) and streams on Chaturbate with some regularity, so it makes sense.
VTubers use an avatar instead of their face, hence the name Virtual YouTuber. I forgot what the software is that converts stuff from facecam to the avatar is, but it’s primarily the fact that they have an avatar instead of their face.

TL:DR; Follow up video where now some streamers are now wearing green booty shorts and using their asses as green screens for the limited gameplay on these streams
To specifically address the Twitch aspect of this, Twitch doesn’t want the loopholes closed because the admins/Amazon gets off on selective enforcement of the rules anyway.
They still have a bunch of artists banned and yet softcore porn streamers barely ever get banned for more than a week, and it’s because the admins are getting ‘benefits’ from these girls. The girl in question actually got a call from one of the admins while streaming and went to go change to a different bikini, which is laughable in and of itself.
If the people who ran Twitch weren’t basically using it as a brothel, a lot of what happens on Twitch wouldn’t be happening.
It’s partly this, partly the mods are bribed/bribed themselves with the girls by either fucking them or getting their paid content for free and partly because Twitch like most tech companies ran at a loss.
It just makes me shake my head when I remember how many people pay for this shit, but then I remember we’re in a loneliness epidemic, so it makes sense, sadly
Looking at it now since there’s been a lot of stuff since then, I’m willing to say it’s because Source 1 sucks more than anything.
Also the Linux version of EAC is explicitly not kernel level, even though most of the cheats that people are using are, meaning EAC does fuck all on Linux. The only reason EAC has a Linux version to begin with is because the Steam Deck came out and Valve wanted to make sure that people could play Valve games on it.

Don’t be so quick to blame the anti-cheat, even though kernel level stuff is kinda sus. Apex runs on Source 1, which is known to have plenty of RCE exploits.
Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/s/mPsNhLqrPX
Forgot Apex is developed by Respawn, yeah, I’m very much leaning towards Source 1 RCE/Respawn being shit at anti-cheat than blaming EAC, even if kernel access is something that should be taken very seriously.
I think a lot of crypto discussions inherently go back to one thing: the value of fiat currency is able to be enforced by armed men that the government can send after you. The value of the various cryptocurrencies out there can’t, and because of that, it basically means that the decentralization of crypto is exactly why it won’t be a reserve currency.
I don’t necessary prescribe to that exact take, as that’s a summary of a comment, but I understand why that take exists, and understand why people are so skeptical of crypto.
Bulma also canonically uses the Dragon Balls to wish for the results of cosmetic surgery and to de-age herself.
The reason she even collects the Dragon Balls at the start of DBS Broly is because she was about to wish to be a year younger (and explicitly does so to make sure her rich friends don’t embarrass her by asking her for her surgeon), and in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, after Piccolo gets his potential unlocked by Shenron, she literally asks Shenron to give her a fatter ass.
Kiwifarms. Kiwifarms is useful for a lot more than just dunking on trans people, there's a reason that whole section of the site is called 'lolcows'
