My Mom passed last year. I have a box with her ashes in it. I can hug that if I want to. But really, I hugged her a bunch when she was alive, which is the important part.

One of his biggest problems has always been how much he is in the wrestling bubble to an extreme degree. He just doesn't get outside pop culture at large. He does a little, but really not much.

I still think of it as Drownball thanks to you. 8 bit Theater is one of the only webcomics, let alone sprite comics, from that era that actually got better as it went on. No wonder you actually became a comics writer.

I dislike open grave pissing, especially when someone is recently dead. I'm not saying you have to celebrate horrible people who die, but I do think openly celebrating their death is distasteful. Bad for the soul. When Trump dies, I will be a big ol hypocrite here. I am making a personal exception.

A bunch of that stuff is here, but it is up to the individual to follow those communities and not just political accounts. If you migrated here from Twitter and immediately joined several starter packs so you were following the same political accounts you were on Twitter, you're doing it wrong.

AEW has a contracted traveling crew that is union through IATSE Local 115, based out of Florida. Which makes sense, since that's where AEW started. From what I understand, the issue is that they are doing a residency for 3 weeks and using their, also union, crew instead of a Philly IATSE?

You can't expect others to hold your grudges. Holding a grudge is the action of pretending a long past offense is current. It can be easy to do this for yourself, but telling people that so-and-so person committed a sin against you 5 or 10 or 15 years ago doesn't have the same impact on others.

Probably not. Lots of private areas have cameras both conspicuous and hidden, just not on someone's wearable. Generally, if you aren't in your own house, you can be filmed legally by anyone without legal problems as long as the recording isn't used commercially, which is a whole other deal.
