Something I've been kind of down on for a while is how lame a lot of our flags are. I like the OG rainbow flag and the trans flag is nice too but I feel like too many people got trapped in the line of thinking that every flag had to be a spin on the same concept of "bars of color" instead of being a bit more creative. The California flag, the flag of Mexico, the New Mexico state flag, off the top of my head those are some dope looking flags. I guess what I'm saying is I want a bisexual flag that's like a badass tiger riding a cloud or something. Dare to dream. We've also got the bi crescents! And tbh, the bi colour scheme applies itself to a lot of stuff well, so there's nothing to stop us having tigers riding clouds! I think that's kind of why the 'bars' thing works for pride flags, it's a simple shorthand that's easily recognisable, and can then be riffed on from there. Only one I'm not the craziest on is the pan flag (no offense to any of my pan friends out there) just because the colours are full saturation which is a bit too much for my aesthetic tastes, and the yellow doesn't really blend with pink and blue as well as the purple. My attraction could be classified as bi or pan, but I mainly stick with bi just because it's the label that helped me discover myself, to emphasise that the bi is not binary, and because I'm not a fan of the flag. I really liked the Bisexual color scheme! On IOS (Apple emojis), I always use the pink heart with the sparkle, the purple heart and the blue heart to represent it. I agree a lot of the other LGBTQIA+ flag designs aren't the most visually pleasing as they're simple color variations of the rainbow, but not as original (only my opinion, more power to those who love their individual flags!). But the Bisexual flag even as bars looks nice to me, aesthetically pleasing with the blend of the colors and what they can mean. It's a color scheme you can wear/accessorize without being too 'loud' so to speak and it goes well with plain black/monochrome.

Just wanted to bump this for another week of Pride Month, just til the month ends. For those who need this sense of visibility.
I love reading/seeing the LGBTQIA+ community and also straight allies interact and share stuff here.
It's lovely, because I've never thought to see this sort of thread pop up on a primarily pro-wrestling forum, 15 years ago, when I was a young teen.
The societal progress over the last decade is so darn nice, seeing how the new generation (Gen Z) can accept and be more confident & comfortable with themselves at a young age. Millennials, & Gen X (some older), walked so Gen Z could run with the freedom to be themselves that even younger Millennials couldn't until later on in life. Might be some envy there, but in a good way. Warms my heart/soul.

I was tempted to quote and say “Ok Boomer” to so many posts here today.
But I feel like that joke would piss you Boomers off. =P Besides I’m 29+1(...+1) now and an 18 year old “friend” called me Boomer already. Weird since I feel like I was young not too long ago. =P

So saddened to come back to hear news of Jag's passing. Friendly man, long time loyal member here. I was also aware of his health issues, but as some of you have already said, he always seemed to bounce back and always be optimistic rather than letting the health situation keep him down. To him that was just secondary, enjoying life as much as possible, first and foremost. One memory I recall, was that Jag was actually the forum member who brought "mafia" to this forum. So I appreciate him for introducing that to us. The most recent memory, was just last month, a week or two before he passed. I was feeling extreme grief over my dad's recent passing in September. Jag was there as one of many in this great community offering support and condolences for me in my dad's thread. Even through the health problems, he had kind supportive words for me. I'm so sorry to hear this. You and yours will be in my thoughts. You need anything, you know where to ask. For that I will always remember him. Rest in peace. We'll miss you Jag. I express my Sympathy and Condolences to his friends and family.

The kids been playing this lately and I've caught wind, because it's trending big time among young people (which I'm not anymore, wow!), replacing Fall Guys as the new in game.
Reminds me of the old Mafia party games in the premise, but simpler. Never actually played though, but looks like a fun time.

Oh I see. Microsoft had a ton of money set aside to purchase TikTok... but lost the bid. So they bought Bethesda’s parent company instead!

Thank you everyone here who reached out to me in this thread and out. They just pulled him from life support. My dad passed away.
I will love and miss him always. Goodbye dad.

I’m at the ICU for my dad w/grandma (seeing her son like this), mom and aunt in the hospital. The Neurologist described it as a “devastating stroke” with no chance of recovery. Can’t believe what I’m seeing now is the best it’s going to be.
Love you dad, I’m so sad I couldn’t have a family of my own yet for you to be a grandpa. I wasn’t ready and just didn’t expect you to be gone so soon.

Guys. My dad is dying. He had a major stroke Monday two days ago and is in the ICU. In a vegetative state. Up to my mother, for when she’s ready to pull the tube. He’s only 59.
The main reason I watched WWE or Pro Wrestling in general is to watch With him. It was our weekly activity to spend time with each other because he always made the shows seems more exciting than it was. The main person and reason I’ve continued watching all these years. I’m not sure if I can watch pro wrestling the same again.
It won’t be the same without him.

Not a fan. He’s ring good yeah, but every time I see him, he’s super Cringe. That air guitar thing and some mannerism are too much, like he thinks he’s cool but doesn’t realize the cringe. If that was played up I’d be fine with it, but it’s being played straight, as if he was a total badass, and I just don’t like it. Like I said... I think that is kinda the point. That he thinks he's this super cool dude... but it's absolutely lame. The lack of self awareness if it was obvious that was intended I’d be fine, but again, it’s being played straight. As in it feels like it’s supposed to be cool/badass to the viewer rather than the lack of self awareness is my problem. I actually really like Undisputed Era but Kyle O’Reilly is the only one that gives me cringe vibes. Like he the person, not the character, thinks he’s really cool and bad ass.

My nephew when he was 13 years old did the same thing in the same game GTA V online. His aunt had put her card on the account she made for him, and he took advantage of it and spent over $2000 on GTA Online, buying everything including flying cars.
They froze the account and refunded his aunt after she contacted Sony customer service or RS games. He isn’t allowed to play video games anymore.
Sorry this happened to you. Try contacting customer service and see if they can do something for you?

I was double charged for the GoFest 2020 live event ticket. Frustrating. What can I do to get money back from having two tickets when only one matters?

Added a request of friendship to @produceman and @impressivehashtagley since you guys hit ‘thumbs up/like’ on my post and had your codes on the most recent page before this one, so I’m assuming that’s okay? I’m the girl with the cowboy hat.

I stopped playing this game 3 years ago.
Now I’m back, because it’s seemed to have gotten popular again where I live (though not as much as 2016). It’s much more fun than it was when it first launched. Much better game.
Who still plays and wants to be a friend? (A welcomed feature they implemented)
