The market will recover... eventually. Hope you weren't planning on retiring in the next decade.

I won't get to retire at all, so that means I'm fine, right?

...oh.

Tonya Harding (background) was involved in a plot to assault rival figure skater Nancy Kerrigan (foreground). The Movie "I, Tonya" covers the case and is actually pretty good.

I watched this shit play out in realtime on the nightly news.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The movie is great and well worth watching.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

It's amazing.

I mean, of COURSE it's good, it stars Lemmy's own @[email protected]!

Forgot all that! Had though Harding was the one who knee-capped her, and it wasn't even the knee.

To be pedantic, it was people her husband hired.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

And apparently they were only supposed to threaten her.

At least that's the idea I got from a movie full of unreliable narrators 🤷

The USA is Tonya Harding. Spirit of fair competition????? Fuck you.

I like the use of Harding and Kerrigan here. Reminds me of the Undertaker meme.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You mean the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I was actually thinking of this one (apparently from 2020):

This reminds me of moving to a rural area and starting an HOA
