The promotions can be compared, obviously, but maybe don't villainise somebody whose husband died. If the argument is "his legacy isn't being honoured because he's not in the WWE Hall of Fame," maybe don't ruin the day his legacy could have been honoured because you have developed a parasocial relationship with a billionaire.

These people can't be helped, but you can help yourself.

Remember lockdowns? Of course you do. They were horrendous.

You barely interacted with friends on grainy, lagging Zoom calls. The only escapism you watched was a bittersweet emulation of something you once loved. And this if you were fortunate enough to not have a loved one die or actually had to work in a dangerous environment.

At the expense of so much else, lockdowns were effective in preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus before the introduction of vaccination programmes. Limiting social interactions helped prevent the spread of infection. Saving yourself the worst of the online wrestling experience uses the principles of lockdown to actually improve your mental health. By actively limiting the spread of tiresome, depressing interaction, you won't see it.

To emphasise that point: imagine something as effective as lockdown, only with a positive impact on day-to-day life!

Sounds great!

So why aren't you doing it?
