Geek. Gamer. Data hoarder. Eldritch Horror hidden in a geeky t-shirt. Canadian. Polite, but says 'cunt' like an Australian. Avid pirate, worships unfathomable space gods that may drive you crazy.

If you see this username on other instances, it's almost certainly me on an alt.

  • Asked and answered but to chime in also: Boxing is not fixed (outside of incidents involving crooked people of course).

    Pro Wrestling is choreographed performances. The results of matches are predetermined by the booker. The wrestlers come together before hand, decide between them some 'spots' they wanna do during the match but otherwise go out there and 'call a match' live (giving each other verbal cues to do certain things/do certain things to them which the audience doesn't/can't hear [hopefully, looking at you Cena lol]).

    The moves are done in specific ways to minimize actual damage, and wrestlers are trained to land, and take moves in specific ways to minimize actual damage.

    A good source is the Santino Bros Wrestling Academy out in Cali. They have a playlist on their YouTube channel showing the basics of almost any wrestling move you'd wanna know and learn. Watch some of em and you can see the tricks.

  • HP CEO says customers who don't use the company's supplies are "bad investments"

    Jump

  • Honestly the only thing HP has ever made that I haven't been horribly, horribly disappointed with is their monitors. Just through circumstance of 'whatever-the-fuck-was-cheapest-but-not-total-ass-when-I-went-to-buy-them' I've ended up with 4 different HP monitors over the years, including a 20ish year old 4:3 one which still goes strong to this day.

    Every other product was pure unadulterated ass.

  • can a magazine be permanently deleted? i don't want to attempt to mod when post deletion/moderation is not federated

    Jump

  • Magazines can be deleted. There is a Delete Magazine button in the Magazine Panel of any magazine you own (on the General tab, first one).

    However at this time it does not appear to be an automatic thing (I believe Ernest has to clear then manually). I've deleted around a dozen so far (which were taken care of within 24h) and have had over a dozen more as well waiting for deletion (which have been sitting there for a month+ as Ernest has been busy as of late, and then the holidays and such).

  • Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

  • PiratedGames content Lemmy/Reddit

    Jump

  • I find it funny any time I check Reddit and see the people complaining in the comments. 'Whats going on with Reddit lately?', 'Why are there so many bots and so much spam as of late?'.

    Memories of gerbils I swear, we fuckin' told you this was gonna happen. How are these simpletons surprised?! (I know I answered my own question there lol).

  • Why is kbin so full of empty stuff?

    Jump

  • Honestly if you see kbin magazines that are just empty and unused (as you said, lots of people have made placeholder magazines during the Redditpocalypse and then it took time to see if people would stick around, or settle on a specific magazine)), check if the owner is awol for more than a month and if so, claim the magazine and set it to delete. Ernest goes in and will clear them out (tho he's a bit behind I assume due to all the work he's doing right now on the software) but it will help with getting the unused ones cleared out. I got well over a dozen of em scheduled to be deleted myself, as well as 10 or so others already deleted.
