it turns out Yoink doesn't really exist. Where Yoink was originally standing, a picture of a Loudwhispers rests on the ground.

For the record, I hate bullfighting by default. But I just heard that a bullfighter was recently  wounded by a bull, and, instead of rushing him to the hospital as he asked, they sedated him so that his screams didnt disturb the public and waited until the event was over. When he arrived at the hospital he was dead.

I mean wtf. Maybe he would have died anyway, but the fact that they settled into kayfabe makes everything far creepier. As if bullfighting wasn't a downright disgusting practice already. They should ban this medieval bullshit

edit: nvm, I'm being a little harsh at a fellow DF player maybe or maybe not getting the in-joke.
Oooh what did I miss!? D:

Anyways, I just had a whole train ride of WTF-ing, but there was also a WTF occurrence at the start of it- I was busting for number twos and didn't have time to go before my train left, so I had to do the unthinkable and use the toilet on the train. Initially the WTF involved was that the toilet in question was actually fairly decent, or at least nowhere near as filthy and awful as I had expected.
The second, less pleasant WTF was that when I flushed halfway through the poopcedure the toilet spat out a spray of water at the end of the flush. I got splashed, only very slightly, but that was still rather suboptimal. Not sure if the spray consisted of poop-water or clean water, but I carefully dabbed it off my jeans and boots with TP regardless.

That scene was swiftly pushed back out of my mind by the huge magnitude of the WTF I had to ponder already, though.
Much pondering was done on that trip. Train was fairly empty, too, which was nice- ideal conditions for such deep contemplation. The only thing hindering it was the remnants of my hangover and general fatigue, but oh well. I'm sure this WTF will stick around to be pondered for some time to come. Indeed, I have thought of little else for over a month already, and more WTF just keeps getting piled on.

Sorry it was a very obscure reference to something made of pure wtf

I had to look up kayfabe to be sure it didn't mean something different than what I thought, and I'm not sure why you think letting a man die would be that.

Is it http vs https? You can lose one or the other.

Kayfabe ="show must go on", right?
Because they sedated him and waited till the show was over (???) to bring him to the hospital, with a grisly outcome. Seems to me they placed the show over the man's life

No, kayfabe means pretending that a staged show is real, according to the definitions I found.

In that case, isn't this the exact opposite of kayfabe? Pretending the real stuff is staged?

Nothing big, just me assuming the guy either didn't play DF (he does, I went and checked if he had posts in the DF game area) or was pretty new to the game (doesn't seem like it). Turns out to not actually be a DF reference/joke, as per Reelya. It's more 'assumed wrong' than being harsh, though it did feel a bit condescending to someone who most likely does get the reference. It's primarily me assuming wrong and then backing off.

Went to the laundromat, put my clothes in the dryer, started it, and left to go shopping. I came back to discover that the dryer must have stopped at some point just after I left, as my clothes were still as wet as when I put them in.

Trying updating your browser, maybe? That's helped me with similar issues in the past.

Nah, it's because something's damaged the line near my house. I know why my internet's being weird, it's just a bit odd when you access some sites and not others with little apparent rhyme or reason. For instance, B12 and Twitter were both fine, but Reddit and WolframAlpha were inaccessible.
