I didn't even ask. Just took the TV downstairs.

Fish pulling Wilson back to his back by hooking the arm with his leg was pretty slick.

You probably feined injury poorly.

I never minded the running. Just needed to find a way to make it interesting. Run around the school, run in the room with the lights out. Stuff like that. My kid was playing tag in a good portion of the hallways at school in wrestling this year. In the morning early when no one else was there. Good times.

All of them...and some extras. Still wasn't enough.

Nope, twelve but who's counting? You left that one hanging.

That's interesting, you seem so easy going...

My mother never played sports. She was very supportive anyway. Her closest tie to sports was choir. She sang a lot. School, church, etc. She used to refer to practice as "rehearsal". She'd usually catch it herself but sometimes wouldn't even realize it.

I asked because I care. The floor is yours. Just don't tag @Plasmodium

I never use the term. It reminds me of people who know nothing about the sport tussling my hair and asking me "how's the wrasslin' goin?". Maybe that's the problem, it's a subconscious thing about male pattern baldness and my lost youth? I also associate it with people who when I say wrestling, assume I know all about Hulk Hogan. Which I do not. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Anyone else have any wrestling pet peeves?

A disease thet plagues all.

You fat fingered that one!

We have found a loophole?

No ***duck duck goose kidding.

I don't have to use books (although I do enjoy reading) I have the internet. Try it out, you might like it. Unless it disagrees with you of course. Let me Google that for you My opinion about Twitter is well documented. Take your own advice.

See above.

My point of view was that Twitter has always been Twitter. It's been moderated poorly before. It's been overvalued before. I contend that all of the problems with Twitter, financial and otherwise aren't new. That says nothing about Musk possibly making it worse or maybe even finishing it off completely. If he did I'd say good riddance, hopefully to him and Twitter. Something new will eventually be born taking the good from Twitter and making it better. Maybe that will come from Musk, maybe it won't. I don't care. Try giving that opinion and others get their panties all wadded up and you are accused of drinking piss. Yeah, real intellectuals. Thank you for clarifying your position.

"Childish insults and nothing of value to add to the conversation" Show me the errors in the WSJ article.

Very informative and well laid out. I have never claimed to even have an opinion on this. I appreciate yours. Can you be more clear about the problems with or why the WSJ article is incorrect?

Too late.

Is there a link in there?

I don't know WKN well. He seems like a very intelligent dedicated wrestling fan and I'm sure he knows more about this than I do. Not sure he knows more than the WSJ. I'm open to being wrong.

I'll take that as a "no"

So are there sources for the opinions that Twitter was great financially before Musk or not? Also, is the information showing a tank in value after the purchase using GAAP? If so, that's apples to apples even if oranges are more accurate.

There seems to be mixed reviews on this subject. https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-elon-musks-twitter-faces-mountain-of-debt-falling-revenue-and-surging-costs-11669042132 From the article dated Nov. 2022 "Twitter Finances, Pre-Musk Twitter is and was a popular tool for politicians, celebrities and journalists. But as a business, it was stagnating. It hasn’t booked an annual profit since 2019, and posted a loss in eight years of the past decade. The company’s net loss narrowed in 2021, to $221.4 million from $1.14 billion the previous year."
