So I assume this is mostly only a thing in MMA and Boxing and i assume kickboxing, other sports seem to have stricter regulatory bodies.

But pretty much if you've ever seen a video essay about boxers/ some mma fighters you essentially always hear one of two things. One is that in the regional scene fights can be just blatantly fixed, as in paying for a predetermined outcome. Or upcoming guys fighting cans for way longer then they should to stat pad or keep an undefeated record.

Seeing as this practice is apparently so common, I was wondering if anyone here has ever experienced this. Whether being paid to throw a fight or being one of guys used to stat pad someone else. (Or maybe you fixed a fight yourself lol who knows)

I'm pretty pessimistic about the world in general rn because of ai, I think within the next 1 or 2 decades it's gonna affect every job.

However currently it affects the arts the most. When I see a cool animation or drawing I just expect It's AI now, if I see something I know was made by a human I'm no longer as impressed, because AI has desensitised me to art. It's simply gotten too good. It obviously can't make full movies yet, but I'm sure most studios already use it now but just hide it.

I used to play music and stuff but I'm don't really do it anymore, AI music isn't completely there yet like with art, but it most likely will be soon. It's pretty difficult to have motivation to take hours to do something ai can do in a couple seconds. For people who draw its probably way worse.

Job wise idk if any new art jobs even still exist, commission work essentially doesn't exist anymore. It was always lower quality but was still a job that paid people. Graphic design is also obsolete as a job, this isn't art but stock video and photo is also dead.

So yeah, I'm not all that enthusiastic about art anymore cuz of AI

I remember when the watcher came out it got mixed reviews and was incomplete. I was wondering if its finished yet, some of my friends who got it initially told me it was but idk if they finished it yet to be sure. If so is it good? I know some people complain about it having modded regions but I barely played modded so thats fine with me.

Also this is kinda related but please don't spoil anything major. I was wondering if the watcher gives any new lore on stuff related to the initial campaigns or if it's all completely different?

So if I'm not mistaken the first time india ever got unified (mostly) was during the reign of Chandragupta with the mauyra empire. It was also obviously unified during the British empire.

I was wondering between that period, if india was unified or not, I assume there were periods of unification and splitting during this so maybe what were important events during this period?

I know of some of the medieval kingdoms like the mughals who I think controlled most of the area but thats it.

This happened maybe a month and a half ago now and it was very very weird.

So about a month and a half ago i(m20) started feeling like my balls were itching. At its worse it got to a point where I couldn't wear underwear. When I looked at them the skin looked really dried out and red, like kinda how it would look if you put glue on your skin and let it dry, it also had 2 white head looking buttons on it, those parts hurt the most.

Then in the next coming days the pain lessened, but when I went into the shower I have no better way of describing this but my balls skin started to, shed? I was very confused by this, humans aren't reptiles, and no where else on the human body except maybe the lips sheds skin like this. I still have no idea wtf happened. I said If it continued I'd go to the doctor but in like a week I was back to normal.

So what exactly was this?

I got his message and thought it was cool but didn't save it and i don't think you can look back at old wrappeds. If any of you have it saved plz post it
