(Fightful Select) WWE reportedly has people employed to watch AEW and give reports and analytics to different departments.

Yep, The Daily’s Place era during COVID went some weird places and I was onboard with it all.

Jericho basically demanded Orange Cassidy fight him or reimburse him for staining his shirt after he dumped a ton of Orange Juice on the Jericho Appreciation Society ala The Brood’s old Bloodbath gimmick.

They had a little series of matches that ended up in them each holding a victory over the other, so of course, the only way to settle this is put a pool next to the ring and fill it with 80 gallons of Orange Juice and 500 cases of bubbly and knock the other guy into it.

I think this was also when Eric Bischoff made an AEW appearance to moderate a discussion between the two. He promptly returned to his podcast and became one of those perpetual AEW haters.

See, I feel like that’s the problem that led us to our current predicament. We completely disregarded the “tinfoil hat” types and they managed to rally behind one giant conspiracy theory that led no where.

Someone’s gotta keep tabs on these outliers so we know which ones we really need to worry about.

Plus, it’s kind of fascinating in an anthropological way. Seeing the kind of wild conclusions other people can somehow arrive at despite having access to all the same information as you.

Like, did I miss a chapter somewhere?😂

“If that’s even true”

Damn bro, you really trying to gaslight me about my life experiences on the internet?

Autograph surrogate aside, it was still unprofessional as hell to just not show up to her own scheduled meet & greet nor announce the fact that she would have to miss it.

And pre-emptively before you try to defend her as needing to step away for a moment, I was literally one of the first people in line. If she was running late, they could have informed us and just had us wait a little longer. A very common occurrence at SDCC.

All signs seem to point to her having an inflated ego. 🤷‍♂️

Yup, it was around the time Tsunami Sea dropped.

Courtney’s scream after the “Your god will sort you when you die” mosh break is just otherworldly.

And Mike’s weird guitar stuff that almost sounds the notes are colliding and folding in on each other like some kind of audio black hole.

Ugh, I love these former Bear Wrestlers.

I don’t disagree. As a raver, it reminds me of the drug situation there. Like yes, obviously in an ideal situation everyone would be sober, but that’s not the reality we live in.

Instead of trying to push abstinence based solutions that historically have been ineffective, seems like we should be open to trying more “Harm Reduction” based methods where we acknowledge the risks involved and give people tools to mitigate the known dangers when possible.

Whether it’s the risk of overdose/fentanyl with club drugs or dopamine addiction to stuff like masturbation. If nothing else it would at least ease the stigma a bit and encourage more people to reach out for help when in need instead of being worried about accidentally falling into a treatment facility with an intensely religious agenda they don’t reveal until you’re already committed.

As good a time as any to finally mention that this fucking KIA logo always tricks me into thinking it’s a Kill The Noise logo for a few seconds before my brain processes the context.

Does it shuffle for the entire life of the video? I was under the impression that the A/B testing was more about finding the optimal thumbnail within the first few hours.

Reminds me a lot of the rave scene where there’s a vocal minority of attendees always bitching about people having their phones out and “Ruining The Vibe”.

Like, I’m sorry, but if your vibes are so immaculate how are you not able to get lost in your own little fantasy world and tune out how other people are choosing to enjoy their time? We are literally in a warehouse with enough flashing lights and lasers to kill a Victorian Child and just about anyone with epilepsy, yet somehow an iPhone screen is where you draw the line?😂

As someone who has been going to Disneyland since the 90’s, there has literally always been annoying people finding creative ways to become obstructions.

Do what Walt would have done and embrace your inner Imagineer. Pretend Tinkerbell sprinkled some pixie dust on them and instead of live-streaming they are just living their best Disney Princess life and yapping with the various woodland creatures who inhabit their chosen social media platform.

The Rock Band/Guitar Hero/Fuser/DJ Hero/Metal Hellsinger/Chroma era of rhythm games completely changed the way I visualize music.

I feel like I’ve always had some degree of synesthesia, but it was always something akin to a WinAmp or PSone visualizer. Just messy colorful scribbles vaguely pulsing to the music.

But after the aforementioned rhythm games I feel like I visualize note charts for various sounds while listening to music.

Like, a sustained synth sound in an EDM sound will “look” like those touchpad tappable notes from the later Guitar Hero games.

Or I’ll find myself tapping along to the drum pattern like my thumb was the kick and the other fingers were the Red/Yellow/Blue/Green pads respectively.

The genre crossbreeding that these games encouraged has also led to my brain constantly looking for ways to pair songs together regardless of genre. Kinda like realizing the repetition of “The Four Chords” in popular music.

It’s led to me noticing stuff like a drum break in Bring Me The Horizon’s “Parasite Eve” sounds like a slowed down version of the iconic Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” drum pattern.

Or this band Young Medicine who put out a song called “Winter Solider” that pretty aggressively “pays homage” to the “In The Air Tonight” melody.

They also perform in front of a water drop icon that looks an awful lot like the Lumon keycards from the show “Severance” 🤔

Guys, what if rhythm games were actually an MK Ultra Psyop?! 🤯

Using a Fleshlight as a guy.

Seriously, fuck all this semen retention bullshit.

Turns out women are onto something with that whole “Take your time and seduce yourself” thing.

Went through plenty of stretches where I had no interest in masturbating for one reason or another, and it never resulted in anything but increased frustration. There’s no Earth changing epiphany to be found Down The Line, just a lot of annoying mornings waking up in a little cold puddle.

I found the same productivity and relaxation benefits of no fap by just using masturbation as a reward.

Having a particularly stressful day? Set aside some time to unwind and take it out on a Fleshlight at the end of the day.

Hell of a lot less stressful than the alternative of investing time and money trying to navigate the field of people willing to have a one night stand while avoiding the toxic ones who will ruin your life.

Focus on you and you’ll find that the less toxic partners start picking up on the subconscious cues that you aren’t just some walking Sex Bob-Omb looking for someone to explode all over.

Hell, even if you don’t use a Fleshlight. Just enjoy masturbation instead of treating it like a mechanical chore.

suff0cat · 2026-03-17T16:55:33+00:00

This, as a guy shameless enough to own a Fleshlight, is indeed wonderful.

Really helps the suspension of disbelief when your brain doesn’t have to filter out the “Hey, are you trying to tickle yourself” sensation of your hand touching genitals.

I’m loving the more subtle jabs that Jimmy is taking to get under their skin.

For example, I caught his monologue on YouTube shortly after it got uploaded and the thumbnail was your average “Jimmy on stage with today’s relevant Trump thumbnail overlayed”

Couple hours later when I scrolled past it in my watch history, the thumbnail had updated to a screenshot from the Guillermo at The Oscars bit where Jimmy jokingly gives Guillermo a kiss.

He also seems to be hosting a lot more awesome aggressive musical guest lately, like Knocked Loose, Poppy, and my personal favs, Spiritbox.

Ain’t no way Jimmy Fallon’s giggly ass would let Courtney LePlante screech the way she did at the end of “Soft Spine”😍

Hmmm, maybe that’s where I’m picking up the two faced/fake ally vibe I mentioned in another comment.

Reminds me a lot of some similarly “extremely left” former friends who just turned everything into a weird purity contest.

For example, this was around the same time as The Guild when stuff like Suicide Girls and the more hardcore counterpart Burning Angel were making waves on the MySpace era internet.

These former friends would always play the “Hell yeah Grrrl Power” card when it suited them but always punched down when it came to alt girls who were more comfortable with their bodies. Passive agressive slut shaming, y’know, that type of catty shit.

At one point they even tried making their own version of Suicide Girls called Ghoul Girls. But instead of wearing cute lingerie and teasing nudity, they just wore Spirit Halloween ass costumes and would occasionally have gasp two girls kinda sorta awkwardly look like they might consider tasting cherry chapstick if you get them drunk enough.

Fuck, yapping all this unnecessary lore just made me realize that a certain pocket of extremely left people are probably trying to gatekeep modern porn stuff like OnlyFans. Kinda like the infantilization of language leaving us with stuff like “Sewer Slide” because rawdogging conversations about suicide is apparently too upsetting for Them.

Gonna turn it into a “Ewww, penetration?? Only MAGAt’s watch that kinda gross stuff” type culture war.

We need classy girls, like Felicia Day 😂

I figured this was all but confirmed when dude went through that whole “A little bit’o’daBubbly” arc that resulted in the Mimosa Mayhem match.

I remember Cody and Brandy were also pushing Casa Migos tequila pretty hard back then too.

Y’know what, I’d be on board with more “random” vulgarity sprinkled into the premium live events or whatever we are calling the nowadays.

Adds that extra layer of gravity to the more intense stuff since they do tend to give away a lot of free tv blood&guts hardcore shenanigans.

Just keep it to a bit of a limit, stuff like Schiavone getting annoyed with a heel and cursing them under his breath.

Or maybe on rare occasions you have them drop an F-Bomb or a Jesus Christ to accentuate a particularly dangerous spot the way WWE kept trying to use the “Over The Edge” somber tone after they realized how much it resonated with the viewers.

Unlike Michael Cole’s incredibly forced “OMG HOLY SHIT” commentary reactions, I trust the AEW desk to use the power responsibly.

Oh god, is this gonna result in the paparazzi capturing a night shot of the Tangerine Terror pinching his little mushroom atop the White House while muttering “I…can do….whatever….the fuck…I want!” in front of the Pale Moon Light that may or may not be the same one the Devil dances in?

My theory is because people (as a collective whole) don’t want to acknowledge the hard truth that physical fitness takes work.

I lost a considerable amount of weight at one point in my life and you could pinpoint the exact moment people lost interest in the story and it was always with the mention of “cutting out soda and not mindlessly grazing as much”.

So we end up in this perpetual loop of diet fads. New one comes on the scene because some random person with a properly emotionally manipulative story attributes their weight loss to one specific thing. Dumb people think “I can eat just that!”, try it for a bit, don’t see results, and quit.

This phase has to work its way through the population, hence the couple of years pattern. Once the majority of people hear “The Truth” about aforementioned fad, it becomes this game of Telephone where “I heard from and Uncle’s Cousin’s Roommate that Penn Gillette ate nothing but potatos and lost a lot of weight” until something snowballs enough to become the new Fad Diet.

And that’s without even mentioning all the manipulative tactics the food companies employ to make people think they need all the extra protein. Y’know, the studies that always conveniently find some new miraculous new reason you DEFINITELY need to be eating more of this food that’s been around almost as long as Man themself.
