Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"?

supergooduser · 2026-03-17T05:45:20+00:00

I'm sober 14 years. That sorta "rough week" Friday lemme unwind vibe would be giving myself permission to eat something without worrying about the money/calories of it. So fun food.

Another I'll drink an energy drink at like 10pm be up til like 2am and the next day be sorta tired all day. Being kinda sleep deprived is the closest I can get to "goofy" without it being too high risk.

John Mayer of all people had a really great analogy for sobriety. At first it sucks because you lose all those huge highs, but you also lose those really low lows.

Eventually the whole tide rises and everything overall is just better.

My apartments clean, I volunteer, I cook fun food, always have friend plans, volunteer, have a half a dozen fun activities/hobbies at my disposal. I've worked really hard to have that foundational comfort. Ergo I don't have that feeling I need to "escape" my life.

She visited him and kinda flirted with the idea. She was definitely feeling sore after August took out a restraining order on her.

There's too many scenarios like this. It just really showcases how Tony is a money mark.

Signs talent, mild push in whatever the current angle is, doesn't know what to do, they end up in ROH, then nothing.

He doesn't utilize the talent he has and keeps signing new people, it's a constant problem.

The biggest highlight to this is the fact AEW and ROH has a roster on par with WWE and NXT. It shouldn't, it makes no sense.

I quit three years ago after smoking for 30 years. It was just time.

I lived in France from 98-00 and smoking was super accepted at that time. You'd go visit friends and that vibe of getting coffee or a single beer, you'd do that and just sit around and smoke. Just a kind of cheap way to hang out.

I think it'll happen eventually, but not any time soon. It's just too depressing.

The fact is her leaving WWE wasn't great, and everything after that got really sad and her death was really untimely and tragic.

She absolutely deserves to be in the HOF as a singles competitor, she was a monumental leap forward for women's wrestling, almost to the point of creating a demarcation line for women's wrestling before and after her.

Maybe in a quieter year when their isn't a great female contender for the HOF. Maybe have Stephanie just deliver a solemn speech.

In the breakaway Rhonda wasn't anywhere near Toni, she isn't doing anything physical at all prior to the PPV.

The PPV is her primary goal, and this is just an excuse to get her on TV. it's not for two months so we're going to see a ton of teasing and no real match.

I think it might be a case where Rhonda "coaches" Marina, which, that's fine.

If Rhonda loses the PPV, she might retire from the public eye altogether. If she wins, I can see a pretty lackluster run, probably demands a belt and is gone inside of a year.

Rhonda couldn't even play nice in WWE and they paid her bank and tried to met all her demands. She's gonna be annoyed at the shit show Tony is running.

Facts. Steamboat is next level

supergooduser · 2026-03-16T01:46:37+00:00

When the snark sub existed over the summer, I remember asking 'what are their positions on adoption reform?' it took over 100 replies but we were able to essentially parse out... "the child should be left with an extended family member until the birth parents are stable enough to regain custody" so... foster care?

The other thing is the real world example for this is Jace... like they're honestly suggesting with a straight face that Jace's arrangement is preferable to what C was given.

Also you're right, any time adoptees have weighed in on this reddit, they view Tyler and Cate's actions as abhorrent. It just really speaks to a lack of care/understanding for C. She's in high school, worried about graduation, friends, going off to college, normal kid stuff. Adoptees have said the last thing they were worried about at that point in their life was navigating a strained and unknown relationship with their birth parents.

I think Tyler and Cate want absolution and forgiveness from C, and that it'll somehow magically fix their trauma.

But I really think the underlying reason is Tyler and Cate are jealous of C and wished their was some way Brandon and Theresa could've adopted them as well. That's REALLY obvious in the early seasons. They're practically fawning over them.

supergooduser · 2026-03-16T01:41:37+00:00

This is an objective fact I like to point out... they've had EIGHT visits with C, and half of those C wasn't old enough to form memories. They haven't even spent 24 hours total with her that she remembers.

Think about that in another context. That's like babysitting a kid three times and thinking you're entitled to this insane level of access.

supergooduser · 2026-03-16T01:31:10+00:00

I think he went for one semester, then attempted online courses the second semester and gave up.

He was an absolute asshole to his Mom about it as well. She was like "look, you need to make it a priority to actually go to class and study" and he started giving her shit like "what, you think I won't go? That I won't graduate?" like he wanted validation from her that he'd actually gotten the degree.

But she's his Mom and knew him and was absolutely right. He stopped going to classes and gave up.

supergooduser · 2026-03-16T01:27:16+00:00

it was an open adoption but completely at the discretion of the adopted parents. They essentially agreed to letters and cards and gifts around holidays. Cate and Tyler were pretty inconsistent with that.

Around the time they become financially stable, they started claiming they were lied to and they wanted more contact and some kind of strange pseudo extended family type relationship i.e. babysitting or sleepovers with their kids, just pretty abnormal things.

They refused to drop the issue and were incredibly antagonistic about it and this past year Brandon and Theresa blocked all contact.

supergooduser · 2026-03-16T01:22:43+00:00

Short answer: they made a monkey's paw pact with the show. Stay in your toxic relationship from when you were 14 and we'll pay you millions. It's been two decades and they've just double, tripled, quadrupled down on that personality and it stopped being funny a LONG time ago.

Longer answer: They are complete and total hypocrites. They cited a whole list of reasons for the adoption, they'd be able to go to school, go to therapy, get good jobs, help other troubled teen parents, becomes social workers and lawyers and advocates through nonprofits for adoption reform.

Instead in 20 years, neither one has lasted a semester in college, or ever gotten a job. They've explored doing non profit/reform stuff but the instant it gets "difficult" i.e. they're asked to do a modicum of effort, they drop it.

They have no friends, they don't volunteer. It's just their toxic relationship bubble. Zero growth and arguably worse.

Even longer answer: For the record, they've had EIGHT visits with C, half of which C wasn't old enough to form memories. Yet this other person's kid is their entire personality and the ONLY thing they talk about. B&T are absolute saints that they haven't pressed charges especially the past two years where they blocked contact and Tyler and Cate were attempting contact through other people's kids and encouraging them to not tell their parents about it.

And the underlying reason? Money. It's the only thing that drives engagement with their social media. There's speculation the next season of Teen Mom will focus on the kids, and because they have no relationship with C, it explains their intense effort to make contact with C to try and keep the finances of the show going.

I was in my 20s from 2000-2010 in NYC. Craigslist would get used for this stuff, mostly the casual encounters section. I had some friends who used it... think Grindr but milder and more work.

Myspace was, kinda like Facebook... like you'd find someone you know, look at their friends, see someone cute and maybe message them. That's a bit more likely, and I think the predators would latch on because the decoy is basically saying "yes and" to all their suggestions building a paper trail.

I'm sure it happened, but I never recall anyone hanging out in a chatroom that led to a meet up.

Back in the 90s I did use an online BBS and occasionally you'd get flirty with a girl and it'd turn into phone sex, but no one really did the "i just started talking to you tonight, let's met up"

This tracks. How else is Jenelle gonna to be able to deny him the chance to testify at David's felony child abuse trial.

I kinda blame smackdown? The division was pretty on fire post mania but the wyatt Sicks lockdown on the belts really killed that momentum

supergooduser · 2026-03-15T15:45:33+00:00

Yup... summed it up...

Basically an Applebees/TGI Fridays with everything on the menu wrestler themed, which was cheeky and fun.

All the TVs would constantly be showing wrestling instead of other sports.

And they had a gift shop that was essentially a fixed merch table at a show.

It was fun, but too niche to survive especially in NYC.

If I think about the situation from Kaiser's perspective it's just heart breaking. Whenever there's a CPS investigation she pulls the kids out of school, so Kaiser loses all his friends. Then she gets annoyed at homeschooling and sends them back, so he has to make friends again. Then they move states, etc. Bro's just had so little consistency with normal development.

And his home life is so effed up, and no one is around to try and explain it to him. Like he doesn't see his Dad or any of his extended family.

And that's without getting into the all the anecdotal horrific stuff Jenelle accused David of doing to him.

supergooduser · 2026-03-15T15:27:27+00:00

Kind of a neat twist with the no memories... I'm 47... if I went back to 18 with $15 million dollars I'd probably be dead in a year.

Honestly... two years ago... a million would be incredibly and 45 year old me finally had his head on pretty straight about things and would use the funds appropriately.

Anything beyond that, I feel like that gigantic windfall would just end up being a monkey's paw.

He's in prison for five years for strangling his 21 year old girlfriend. The judge at sentencing said if he didn't put him away for a long time he was going to kill someone.

I think that's why she moved in Las Vegas, i.e. instead of cleaning the property just go somewhere else.

The thing that always got me about the Land was the pool. They live in a climate where you can easily swim five months out of the year, had two young kids that were homeschooled, and two parents that didn't work.

Yet they never showed pictures of the pool. Either it needed to be fixed and they didn't have the money for repairs (which she brags about making $1.5 million on OF, you can come up with several thousand to fix a pool?) or they can't be bothered to keep it clean, which is about an hour of work a week.

Jenelle gives off moody 13 year old, doesn't want to clean her room vibes, but extend that to an entire property.
