Cena’s infamous for being (comparably) quite loud in the ring when calling things. Always manages to get picked up by the mic’s.

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.
Or the 3 or 4 times New Jack tried to straight up kill someone during a match.
I.E. A Tuesday.
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).
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.
Someone elsewhere shared this but:
Go into your ublock origin settings and go to your My Filters section. Add:

on a new line and apply. Should stop the delay from occuring.
When the Redditpocalypse started and we all came this way, someone made a post about this very thing. I still stand by my statement that day (which I paraphrase):
I don’t care about emoji’s enough to whine until it’s excessive. Reddit’s insistence that one “😀” is the end of the world was pants-on-head-stupid. Use emoji’s all you fuckin’ want, but if you start putting 3+ in 1 comment I’m going to prep a straight jacket for the person.
Having never heard of this nor read the article, I assume it was the 2020’s equivalent of the old AIM chatbots that were amusing to talk to for 11 seconds before realizing you had better shit to do.
What a horrible day to have not lost my eyes to childhood diabetes.
That is neat as shit and I really regret getting rid of my huge ass collection of VHS tapes a dec…wait as I type this I remember I got a huge rubbermaid tote with the original Star Trek TOS VHS run they released back in the 90’s sitting in storage somewhere…
…fuck I’m gonna buy a 3D printer now…
Some updates were pushed out in the last 48h or so which should alleviate that problem a good bit.
I mean we do try ;)
Mostly posters and flags in the geeky/gamer/nerd vein, which are taken down and rotated with others every couple years for shits n grins.
1 part ‘Meta users ‘already have’ an account so getting into it is easy’, mixed with 1 part ‘The slightest possibility of inconvenience (like having to choose a Mastodon server) acts as a deterrent to most people when alternative means are available’.
I prefer Mastodon too lol
Bit late to the party, but:
There’s https://kbin.social/m/Anime, though it’s mostly dead aside from the microblog functionality and most seem to have settled on Lemmy at https://lemmy.ml/c/anime and https://lemmy.world/c/anime (.ml being more active than .world)
I’ve still got “To Sort” folders on spindles of DVDs lol
