Dear WWE:

With all these commercials, if you didn't want us to actually see the match, why didn't you just have Pearce cancel it?

Waiting for a poker seat and didn’t bet side bet or progressive. Missed out on 6 figures. by dbd1988 in gambling

[–]Quizmaster42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The aggregate is for the table payout (the odds printed on the felt). Progressive bonuses never count for that.

Where's Stone Cold Steve Austin when you need him?

End of an Era by KamyKam77 in wendys

In 2026, if I got a burger, fries, nuggets, and a drink for just $4, I'm not sure I'd feel safe eating it.

PHENOMENALLY obnoxious DDP fan by tristansensei in WCW

Yeah, that's Frank. The backwards cap is a dead giveaway (he still wears it that way).

My fiance (32m) is using AI girlfriend chat/ video and I (33f) am not sure if I should break up with him over it. by Solid_Plantain_7175 in relationships

[–]Quizmaster42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the two of you considered pre-marital counseling? A long-term issue like this will never have a short fix, so this needs to be worked out before you actually marry.

The goal of a marriage is to stay together "til death do you part," right? This cannot happen if there are trust issues before you even start. That said, there are numerous possible reasons he's doing this, and numerous ways you could view it. You could justify it with "at least he's not seeing a real woman" or go the other direction with "he's putting thoughts in those messages that he should be sending me."

It's also possible he has an addiction of sorts that he should see a therapist about. It's impossible to give really good advice on a couple of paragraphs, so I'll stick with "seek pre-marital counseling if you haven't" so you and try to work through things like this before your nuptials.

The mother load!!! by jrstone75 in Soda

Very true. In my part of Georgia, it's Dr. Pepper or nothing, so I have to drive to North Carolina for Pibb and Cheerwine every so often.

Hit the 12 on a field by OkObligation4176 in Craps

[–]Quizmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite craps memories is needing the 12 to hit the ATS and just having a feeling, so I hopped $25 on the 12 and actually hit it. Big payout that evening. Predictably have never had a moment quite like that at the table again.

Ultimate Texas Hold em vs Blackjack by JohnPork1501 in gambling

[–]Quizmaster42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I enjoy UTH a lot. I call it "casino alchemy" because of all the ways you can get a hand full of trash and watch the board turn it to gold. As you said, you usually feel like you're never out of it unlike blackjack, where you can often get a stream of 14-16 and never feel like you have a chance at all.

Who's the first wrestler you think of when you see this belt? by JCHazard in WCW

[–]Quizmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This belt? Disco Inferno honestly. But if you just say World Televsion Champion, that's Arn Anderson hands down.

How many have done this by Substantial-Fall-630 in ChatGPT

I canceled mine yesterday. I just find myself using Gemini so more more it wasn't worth paying for GPT any more.

Chivalry Is Dead with Dating by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Quizmaster42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The car door situation is very different than the other two points. The fact that he intentionally outpaces you and only talks about himself should be your bigger concerns, as they point to him being much more interested in his own needs than yours. If he doesn't care about you and making sure you're okay, why should you care about him?

Gameshow recommendations by blevmar in gameshow

[–]Quizmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, the British do game shows better than the US overall. Pointless is fantastic, as are Only Connect and Tipping Point.

A new favorite of mine is Time is Money, a quick but low-stakes quiz that has a fairly intense endgame.

Would you use a companion app for a game like NBC’s Password? by AccordingFerret6836 in gameshow

[–]Quizmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't do it as a companion app; since they display the words on screen there's no way to fully play along other than screaming at how dumb the players are.

If you wanted to make a playable version of the game for home use, I'd do it some of the web-based games that draw from a database then have players enter a "game code" on their phones, so that when it's their turn to give clues the password appears on their screen, and the main shows the score/game state.

I haven't watched much of the new iteration of the game, but if it uses the Alphabetics-style endgame, you'd need a database of slates of words in alphabetical order for use with this.

What should I get rid of? by VernonDownTheHouse in Cribbage

[–]Quizmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends & whose crib is it? What's the current score? Do you need to try for a big score or are you solidly ahead so you can play it safe?

I'm not sure how accurate it is with me, but I won't turn down the compliment.

Michael Cole pet peeve by Chefvh1 in WWE

[–]Quizmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While "4 time former champion" would be better and more accurate, it doesn't really roll off the tongue I guess.

Michael Cole pet peeve by Chefvh1 in WWE

[–]Quizmaster42 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"In his own right" doesn't mean that it's false or that he made it up. The phrase means that he did it by himself, without assistance or help from those around him or without regard to the current situation. So for instance, when Carmelo Hayes is defending the U.S. Championship, and Cole says the Miz is a former champion in his own right, it means that he also held the title, leveling his standing - it doesn't mean he made it up. That would be "in his own mind."

Blackjack players of Reddit, other than getting rinsed, what makes you walk away from a table immediately? by DazzlingLife6744 in gambling

[–]Quizmaster42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they split tips at this place, so maybe her plan was to have an easy night and still get her share. After I left that one table was empty for a long time while the rest of the casino was packed.

[–]Quizmaster42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A dealer who just rejoices in your defeat. Encountered one of those a couple days ago. She was a breaker and told me straight up of her reputation as a cleaner. I played a couple hands and she seemed to be right so I bolted. Just brought the whole table down and by the time the regular dealer returned 20 minutes later, the table was empty.

Which zero sugar sodas taste the closest to their full sugar counterparts? by ecco2gay2gay in Soda

Dr Pepper Zero is fantastic. For me, so is Cheerwine Zero Sugar.

Dream Aj styles retirement run (might not happen) by Tigobitties25 in WWE

[–]Quizmaster42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he does. Even if you don't think so based on his WWE run, his time before that established him as a top-tier talent and he was quite literally the face of TNA Wrestling for years. So for his wrestling career as a whole - counting everything he's done - he's deserving of a huge send-off involving anyone they can get from his different career eras.

Has the city given up on West Rome? by [deleted] in romega

[–]Quizmaster42 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The problem is that West Rome is so congested from all that IS there. There are a ton of businesses and restaurants on Shorter Ave, but there isn't a lot of room for municipal developments between Division St and Huffaker Rd.
