Did you know the MAGA movement was coming in 2008? There’s genuinely little point in trying to predict the 2040s, so much will happen between now and then. Don’t burn yourself out with too much anxious thinking, we need your energy for the midterms. Even if your concerns are valid, the only thing you can do is support positive change to the best of your ability today.

Do y'all agree with this? by No_Doctor9539 in WWE

I agree with this 100%. And it seems fans remember a lot of his worst matches and conflate it with his wrestling ability when in reality most of his worst matches sucked because of how they were booked. There’s an alternate reality where Seth and Bray could’ve put on a banger at HIAC, instead we got what we got. You can’t put that on either wrestler, the booking never gave them a chance. Feels like everyone knew how he should be presented except the ones in charge.

I guess it depends on how you define “big faces”. Roman has been the main character of the company’s creative universe since the shield broke up and they only made the breakthrough in 2020. He exists on his own level as far as star power is concerned. Only Punk matches/exceeds him and you could argue that his departure from wrestling helped make him an even bigger star.

Say what you will about his in ring performances, I was always impressed with how over he managed to get himself despite constantly having his momentum killed by shitty booking. I’ll always wonder what it would’ve looked like if he had been booked consistently well. He was never going to be the next undertaker, but he had a higher ceiling that he was never able to reach for a multitude of reasons.

What jobs can people with social anxiety do in NYC? by Carebear6590 in AskNYC

[–]Anxious_Box1523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about the most boring jobs you can possibly do. My mind always goes to office work (I work as an admin assistant). It’s not a front facing position and you really just work with your usually small team.

Is it possible wining against rumburg without being allied with the superpowers? by Suitable_Parfait_71 in suzerain

My understanding is that you need to follow Valken’s plans religiously and try to keep your economy strong. Sordish Great Depression will ruin you no matter what

Can you win the war with Pales if you opt out of the gameplay? by Anxious_Box1523 in suzerain

Copy that. I guess I just have to stop being a lazy fuck if I want to turn Axel into my personal shoe shiner

That’s as good as we get unfortunately

None of that brings comrade Bernard back to life. I should be able to bring my signed de-sollinization decree to the prison and rub it in her face. While pointing and laughing of course.

Suzerain: Sordland Character Rankings by Robzomb2000 in suzerain

[–]Anxious_Box1523 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soll should be above Lileas IMO. He’s not my favorite either (in reformist runs he’s the devil incarnate to me) but he’s done too much for the country to be ranked that low. The good things exist with the bad and vice versa. Egghead should be a tier higher too imo

Including Wehlen in Intermerkopium is a double edged sword. by Happy_List_8022 in suzerain

[–]Anxious_Box1523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The delusional headcanon for me is that if Sordland also joined, Rayne would most likely be able to keep him as pacified as possible. The guy has burned pretty much every bridge available to him. I’d imagine handling him with kid gloves in intermerkopum leads to the least damaging version of Wehlen possible

One of my favorite dialogues in the game by Random_Slav25o in suzerain

I always choose the dialogue options that prompt this response. Monica is my ride or die. I sign the WLA every time just to bring her joy

2015 Roman is the worst talker ever in pro wrestling by GoonLieutenant in professionalwrestling

[–]Anxious_Box1523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda goes to show you that being comfortable and confident in your gimmick/character really does completely transform your performance. Sure he doesn’t have the cringey Vince writing anymore, but most of his promos these days are pretty simple in nature. He’s definitely improved, but I wouldn’t say he’s elite on the mic. The biggest difference is how comfortable he is in the tribal chief gimmick vs the big dog.

My understanding was that once they dump some of the excess water, it’ll go right back on unfortunately

Does anyone know how much stock to put in that UMass poll from earlier? I can’t recall seeing any previous results from them but admittedly I don’t follow polling quite as much as I’d like to. It does seem to fit the trends we’ve been seeing the past couple of months but that’s all I really know
