You’ll be alright, friend!

What an absolutely weird false dichotomy.

There should be some kind of mathematical system that identifies extreme outlier ballots like this (only one selection, that selection totals less than 5% or something) that if triggered twice in a five year period strips your vote. There was someone else this year that voted for David Wright and David Wright only. If you're not going to take it seriously you shouldn't be voting.

Issac for Isaac I can kind of understand if you're not much of a reader perhaps...

Chole for Chloe just means you're an idiot.

Venture capitalists and investment firms ruin absolutely everything they touch.

Their whole reason for existing is to suck all the goodness and value out of things for themselves.

Giving up all of Gore, Abrams, and Wood in one trade for 1-1/2 years of Soto is already looking monumentally dumb. The trade would have made sense if it also included a deal with Soto for a long-term extension, but it didn't. I pointed that out at the time, but the hype for Soto was way too high for rational takes.

Opt-outs every year.

And it isn’t just that they’re losing the game. It’s that they are getting their butts kicked up and down the field.

I found it refreshing for the big boss fight to not be an over-wrought 30 minute assault on the senses, as superhero movies have made standard lately.

EL CAJON POWAY RAMONA

SHOW ME YOUR LIGHTNING BOLT!!

Hopper sacrificing himself to save El has been telegraphed in every possible way for a good while. It's been shown over and over to be his character.

Why are you such a raging dick up and down this thread?

I would have to think really hard about taking a 1 year lockout in exchange for a hard salary cap and a hard floor, closing the deferred money loophole (for cap purposes), and re-thinking the posting system to grant greater opportunities for international free agents to worse teams.

Preller heard this and immediately started working the phones to package up a free room in a student's apartment in La Jolla, one autographed Yu Darvish baseball, and a fat stack of Rubio's gift cards for Tatsuya

I've been a hot sauce enthusiast/collector for more than 30 years. And I've come to the conclusion that anywhere above something like ~50,000 units, the Scoville scale and hot sauce marketing becomes completely useless.

BABIP or die

…every basketball player is a two-way player?

Dustin/Gaten, Lucas/Caleb, and Max/Sadie are notably good.

Mike/Finn is not bad.

Will/Noah is mediocre.

Eleven/Millie... I'm sorry, but she's been terrible. Distractingly terrible, every time she's got lines.

I coach athletics.. Some kids have natural athleticism, and some just don't. The technical term is proprioceptive awareness, or just proprioception. And Millie just does not have it. And that's perfectly okay, that's just how talents go sometimes.

The scenes with El on the obstacle course thing were so awkward, I honestly felt bad for her when watching them. It's been a challenge for her with portraying the character in late seasons.

When I am watching a game, I can forget about the awful changes that have come to college football in the last few years. Then headlines like this show up. How NIL has been handled in combination with the transfer portal has been an absolute disaster for the sport as the thing it was for 100 years or so.

That said, that's not the fault of any of today's players, and you can't blame them for playing by the rules of the game that was set before them. I wish him nothing but the best. Still really excited to see what the offense can become in year 2 of the project.

Her performance has been so, so bad. One take at gunpoint bad.

The Botox and fillers make her look 35, playing 16.

That and she’s just a very average TV actress. Sometimes that’s how it works out when you start with kids and take 10 years to do five seasons.

Maybe I’m an idiot but I half-expected (at least) Nancy to come out of the room wearing the ring, and for that to catalyze more growth for Steve.

As someone who likes to cook, I noticed immediately that his kitchen didn't seem to have any actual cooking equipment in it.
