    I totally hear you, but that's just one job: teaching. Teaching may turn out to be a relatively safe profession, augmented by the technology but not supplanted. But many, many jobs will be supplanted. Many more will be created, no doubt, like in other periods of technological advance. But this...

    Would anyone mind if I started another Mike Tyson thread?

    Fuck even in those short little training videos people keep popping out of Mike... even in short bursts, his footwork, speed and power is still so next level. Nobody really fights like that.

    Kelly Slater - DONE

    It should be a trans-only league. Either direction is fine.

    Would anyone mind if I started another Mike Tyson thread?

    Hear, hear. He's monetized the punchable face vibe to an extent that people will pay big money on just the off-chance they get to see him get his ass kicked. He's also smart enough to challenge the (mostly) toothless lions. He may have lost the hubris bet on Tyson though. Jake Paul better hope...

    Would anyone mind if I started another Mike Tyson thread?

    Tyson has to finish it first round. Which he can do. But every 10 seconds after that is to Jake Paul's advantage. Tyson is almost 60 and smokes a ton of weed and eats handfuls of mushrooms. I'm sure he still has that crazy power but even with two minute rounds, he's going to gas. That said...

    Kelly Slater - DONE

    Kelly and I are the same age. The first time I ever saw him surf in person was at small Backdoor in like 1990. I literally could not believe what I was seeing. No one could. All these years and all these titles and all these seemingly unbeatable records later, and he is still dangerous in a...

    wsl adds a gamer as ceo. a fucking gamer! hahaha.

    "Former Head of Publishing at Riot Gaming?" This has very "met him at a Pt. Dume barbecue and we bonded over our newfound surf spirituality" vibes. They are really scraping. If you've never been barreled and/or no one has ever threatened to kill you in the water, you have no business running...

    How Surfers Get Paid

    The way surfers are increasingly getting paid is by having to procure actual employment. I imagine that's pretty jarring for many of them.

    Divorce Thread better than book thread

    Sorry @SurfFuerteventura that is a bummer turn of events. Keep your head up. I feel (weirdly) that my golden years will be spent as a hermit somewhere remote and quiet, and my wife of a quarter century knows this. I told her I need maybe $3K a month and the rest is hers. She said she'll come...

    Carissa & WSL...DONE?

    All well and good, but professional surfing is not going to rise from those ashes. It'll just be gone.

    Carissa & WSL...DONE?

    Why watch a live webcast that is 90% inside jokes by the commentators while pro surfers mostly sit next to each other in the lineup, versus watching endless free clips on IG and Tik Tok and quality free videos on YouTube? Every surfer is in charge of their own marketing and brand, which they...

    Carissa & WSL...DONE?

    Pro surfing imploding has nothing to do with any one athlete. There's no money and no market. No one cares besides a handful of pasty guys in their 40's and 50's and their spoiled kids.
