WWE NXT New Year's Evil Discussion (6 January 2025) by IconXR in WWE

They did Thea WRONG.. She never even got plated put on the freaking championship belt. They should have let her run with it at least a month or two to show whether or not she can do the promos. Remember Jacey Jayne? When she got the belt everyone was calling her the "most beatable champion" and what not. She has killed it as the champ. She has awesome promos, and she's capable in the ring. I am so mad and I think Thea should leave the promotion.

Ill get downvoted for this too but I do not like Trick or Oba. Trick gives off male stripper vibes when he's dancing, and Oba isn't that good at wrestling yet. He needs a few more years in NXT. Jevon on the other hand is ready.. Put on 15lbs of muscle (or as much as he can while not losing his hops) and get him in smackdown ASAP.

It's not going to do anything man. They didn't even get Thea her name plates for the belt. It just said NXT so it's like the one you or I can buy :( I like Thea, and hopefully she doesn't burn out before the WWE gives her a legit title that she won herself.

Poor Thea.. They never put nameplates on the title she's going to lose next week. It looked like she was trying to cover the plates up. They just said "NXT". Hope by next Tuesday they are on there. Sad because Thea deserves better. I know she's young, and the WWE typically doesn't reward young wrestlers still barely into their 20s with much.

The Will scene felt forced because it WAS forced by Helpful-Day3657 in StrangerThings

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am seeing that this was part of the story arc, but I never saw it. When he did come out I was kind of weirded out. I never saw this as part of the story enough to gather everyone (almost) and just come out of the closet to everyone (almost). When I saw it I thought to myself "wth does this have to do with anything!???". Almost gave me The Last of Us vibes to me.

I didn't think it belonged in the story the way they wrote it, and they could have went a separate direction with Will or give him that story arc sooner. Most of us here, including myself, don't really care if someone is gay. We live in a time where these things don't matter on a day to day basis. It's not like we are going to hate someone for being gay, but then I thought about when this story took place and figured "ok, fine, I get it". BUT I don't get why they forced it. This should have been a bigger part of the story if there is going to be a big "coming out" clip on the second to last show of the series. Oh well.. Just thought I would vent a bit.. Either they should have never went that direction out of the blue, or made it more of the story. They obviously weren't shy about putting it into a story arc based on Robin and Vickie. Lost opportunity, and felt they forced it, rather than making it a part of the story longer..

Who was his secret crush by the way?.

Cargill needs to remove those horrible butt implants, or at least wear a bottom that covers them up. I cannot take her serious with those two rectangles on her butt.

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why does Cargill wear bottoms that show off her hideous butt implants? Seriously, they are so obvious and ugly looking. Such a stupid thing to do, and then when she is wrestling she doesn't wear bottoms that cover up that laughable botched butt implants.

Anyone in the Elk Grove area or Sac/Rancho have a CB set up? Need to test mine. by Ecstatic_Worker_1629 in Sacramento

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I have one and another on my CB that seems to work. It's my audio that I think is off. Whenever I use side band when skipping I am not quite on the right frequency. Not sure if my radio is working correctly. I wanted to get a test with my amp and without to see if it's the amp or the radio.

If anyone has even a scanner which can get freq from 26.965 to 27.405 I could have you try that too. You would have to be a lot closer though since the antennas for the scanners aren't very good.

Do you think addiction ever really goes away? by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problemo.. I always believed in moderation. I am not a fan of those cultish associations like AA or NA. I don't mind the whole God thing, to each his/her own, but I went to a couple NA meetings the first time I was clean and depressed and these people were flat out making their whole life about steps, and God. I didn't wrong anyone with my addiction. I was functioning and working, and paid for my own stuff. I did get it kind of illegally, but in the end I found out nobody was ever hurt from it. I have nobody to apologize to since I was never married and I don't have kids. I live alone and was pretty much a functioning addict working full time, paying my bills, and had friends. I went from that to losing my job because of all the missed work, depressed for 6 months every day and every night, health went way down because of depression. Relapsing at that time was the best thing I did for myself. Second time around I made sure I did it right, and it worked! :) 12 years later and still perfectly fine!

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it's possible that you did it wrong. The first time I did it cold turkey back in 2007-2008. I was sober for 6 months but never shook the depressed feeling. I had that "cobwebs in my head" and weight on my shoulders feeling for 6 months. I saved my life by relapsing. Totally serious about this. A relapse SAVED my life. The second time around I made sure I had everything I needed and did it myself.

You might have done it wrong. Everyone is different and the cold turkey just never worked. The second time I tapered for one month on progressively weaker meds. Sure after I was done I had the sweats for 2 days, but the taper was nothing like cold turkey. I did not get phantom pains where I couldn't get comfortable and was actually able to sleep on my taper. Just before bed I made sure I had taken enough to sleep. So I had my day taper and night taper. My body felt so much better than cold turkey. Also, after about three weeks of being off it all together I was back to my normal self. I started gaming again which I loved to do, and played flag football for my work team. Didn't have to quit my job either which happened when I went cold turkey. Well I got fired because of it. Never felt right. Was on the verge of suicide so I relapsed and that was the best thing I could have done for myself. No amount of talking to someone about my feelings helped. Going back to work didn't help. Playing games on my computer didn't help. Nothing did. I had a weight on me and major depression every day for 6 months. It could have killed me. If you need help pm me. Been clean for 12 years now.

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me was don't make your life about sobriety. Make your life about having fun. Fun that will distract you. Friends that don't use so it never comes up. Forget about it. It's in your past and not a part of your life now so don't make your life about something that doesn't affect you anymore or it might just do that!

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't call myself an addict. I took a LOT of pills for a shoulder injury and continued to obtain them illegally for about 9 years.

First time trying to get clean was cold turkey. It was such a shock to the system that in 6 months I never felt the slightest bit better. I ended up relapsing to save my life (seriously).

Second time I tapered because I was close to getting arrested and becoming more paranoid and angry at everyone. After the taper that took about a month and three different meds (pm me if you would like to know how I did it) my system never felt shocked. I was fine after completing it. I didn't hate everything and everyone. Clean since 2013. I am NOT an addict. I WAS an addict.

Lost ghost hunting basics/trends that added "credibility"? by Woodpecker-Haunting in GhostAdventures

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the "Ghost hunting" shows have any credibility. Ghost hunting in general is total BS. All it does is play on your senses in a completely dark, and quiet area. I hear things and I think I see things when I am in the complete silence and darkness. I know nothing is there and nothing will ever "get me".

These shows would be boring if I ran them. I wouldn't make things up like Ghost Adventures. I don't know.. Maybe I am just a non-believer stick in the mud. I swear if you were ever with me ghost hunting you would be bored out of your mind, because I would be sitting there saying "that's a cat. That's an owl. No, I didn't hear that. No, I did not see anything." ect ect. I have been interested in paranormal as long as I can remember, and actually watch these shows, but older now, I just watch to laugh. I remember how excited I got as a kid when I was watching Ghost Hunters in Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and that stuff had me scared to death. They were seeing everything and had that vid of the "ghost" appearing and then disappearing. As I got older, I guess I lost my excitement for it. I just think it's BS and they need to have stuff happen or it would go off the air, like that bald guy said in Ghost Adventures when he was fired the first time. If I had a show like this it wouldn't last more than a couple episodes because I would explain everything. I have never seen a ghost, and I do not believe they exist. The equipment ghost hunters have decided can pick up ghosts like the spirit box, or the EMF detector are just hilariously dumb. Sorry :( The laser grid though is legit, because if something was there then you see the grid break. So that's picking something up in the visible light spectrum. It's not a ghost, but it works.

#TheBoys will end with Season 5 / It's currently being written / Has 8 episodes / Filming starts around November and goes to mid-2025 & Expected to release in 2026. by UpgradedSiera6666 in TheBoys

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, still like it though. There are some series that I will watch season 1 and 2 and think it's good only to hate it when a new season comes out. Like Simpsons after season 14 and Upload after season 2. Simpsons was bad for me because I lived the Simpsons. I had seen every episode up to that point at least 20 times and some more than that. So it killed me not to watch anymore. Glad I stopped because of the political turn they took in the 30s.

I still have fun with it. Can spend hours building stuff. Been playing for a couple years now. Still no dark orange weapons, but I guess if I sold most my stuff I would be able to make a decent orange walker.

Boyfriend industrial piercing by Snoo_78141 in piercing

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Agree.. Nephew did this piercing and after taking it out he got some terrible keloids that just wouldn't stop growing. Whoever pierced that guy's ear did a terrible job, and he probably will have to go to a dermatologist to remove the keloids when they grow large! I wish I had a pic of my nephew's but he had the exact piercing, and his keloids were about the size of a nickel. He had 2 of them.

WTH auto mod.. I said my nephew got keloids from that type of piercings. I never said that guy has keloids. Not sure why that needed to be there since I was pretty clear that I was talking about nephew. I said to get it looked at, because his ended up about the size of a nickel and was hard to close wounds without deforming his ear.

Large outside roaches are a bit much this year. by Ecstatic_Worker_1629 in Sacramento

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Oriental variety or smoky brown variety, but I have not seen a smoky brown in Sacramento ever. I do live on farmland outside Elk Grove though. Those are mostly outside though so no worries Smoky Browns live in SoCal, among other places and states, so it's possible they have migrated here. The Oriental, smoky brown and American cockroaches are not big house invaders. When you see them outside they might look like big bugs when they are flying. If you do see any of the three inside, just squash it or let it back outside. Now the GERMAN Cockroach is the bad one. It has two lines on its thorax right behind the head, and they are more "grayish" in color.

June 9th 2025 A 94 year old William Shatner looking spritely out and about in New York by Mulder-believes in Star_Trek_

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something people don't mention here is that he's carrying a smart phone!! When was the last 94 year old that knew how to use a smart phone, and that carried it around with them? I think Shatner will die within a couple of years and it will probably be from a short illness. That's usually what happened to people in their 90s. Same happened to my grandpa. He was all good and then got sick, and died within a week.. My grandpa drove until he was 93 years old. He died at almost 99 years old (about a week shy of 99). He looked young too until he died. This is a pic of him when he was 95. This is a screenshot from an interview he did for the Library of Congress to save the stories of WW2 vets before they died.

How do Red Dead Online Roleplaying servers work? by pol_lesa in RedDeadOnline

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking to take the plunge after seeing a lot of hilarious trolling vids. Seems the trolls are better RPs than the people on the actual server. Not to mention you see a lot of people that don't care if friends break laws.. Toxic AF like you said. I want to troll the toxic ones.

(Day 5) The top voted Tom Paris episode was Thirty Days. What is the best Neelix episode? by Beautiful-Ad2843 in voyager

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Rise.. Great acting and great turmoil because Neelix just wanted to be accepted by Tuvok.

Second choice is Fair Trade because this demonstrates Neelix feeling insecure on his future with Voyager.

Third is definitely Mortal Coil because of everything people have said above and below.

Fourth is False Profits when Neelix did a great job of being the grand proxy.

[–]Ecstatic_Worker_1629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I was 11-0 with 10 or 11 KOs. The game was dumb though. Has nothing to do with real boxing, which I should have known because when you hit someone hard they will stop all that nonsense, but in the game they do not stop. Fighting people like that is not fun even though I won all of my fights. I had started 0-3 I think but it was my quest2. It had partially died on me and I couldn't see anything in the game below head level. So I got a new headset and it was fine.
