The NBA making it more difficult for the best teams to stay intact AND more difficult for the worst teams to get good again is a much much greater sin than tanking ever was

I actually think season 3 is the only good one of Euphoria.

@battingaround.bsky.social The A's have allowed the Yankees to bat around twice this inning.

all else aside, I think this was the start of a shift for a lot of people- realizing their government was absolutely capable of helping them, but actively choosing not to

this is a woman whose mugshot is so old it was taken by the Miami-Dade Police Department, then posted by mugshawtys in 2014-ish. she was charged with resisting arrest and today is 38 years old. every single one of these is an old mugshawtys post with a fake story laid on top.

between nextdoor and facebook, i have come to realize that all my neighbors are reactionary, paranoid, near illiterate people who don't know how to mind their own business. i thought all these people just kept to themselves, but apparently they are staring out their windows like mrs kravitz

The number of people in the replies to this who completely misunderstand how property and casualty insurance (car, renters', homeowners', etc) works on a fundamental level means it's time for an explainer of What Car Insurance Actually Is!

This is a great thread; I would just add that car repairs have gotten INSANELY expensive lately because driver assistance systems cost a fortune to repair and calibrate. My wife backed over a garbage can during a blizzard this year, ripping off the bumper and side trim. This cost $14,000 to fix.

If private individuals are gonna build spaceships they should be required to be on board.

13 was and is my main complaint. Touchscreens in my car turn me into Denis Leary.

and a very fuck-you welcome to the season throughout which i will routinely get so sweaty that people will ask me if im ‘feeling ok’

This is the problem, even if these overhyped places really are a hypothetical 10/10 (and they never are) there’s no way they make more sense than finding a 9/10 with no wait.

Now John Buford, in particular, was known for the power of his ass. Ol' Iron Ass, his enemies called him. Even so, it was much respected.

The age of robber barons 2.0: rise of the billionaires is bound to make most people pessimistic.

We were FIGHTING to get online in my day. "MA HANG UP THE PHONE" when I was teen. Paying to be online BY THE MINUTE! One long-ass ethernet cord to share among 7 roommates in my 20s. "Hey man are you done I gotta read a Salon .com article asap."

some day soon, god willing, we will finally be free of "subway takes"

that’s not to say you shouldn’t strive to be virtuous or anything like that but making that your entire personality just grates on others over time

one of the big lessons i’ve learned since around the time i turned 30 is there is there’s no reward for being correct all the time. you can loudly and publicly signal your correctness all you want and eventually it just becomes kind of annoying to everyone else

people on the internet so badly want there to be an inherent moral quality to consuming or not consuming media and for the most part i don’t think there is one. i think it’s just an excuse to yell at people honestly

MY generation drank from the BLOG HOUSE. we didn't TALK to GIRLS, we listened to GIRL TALK. we grew up in the HOOD INTERNET. we didn't survive lead runoff, we survived HIPSTER RUNOFF. a time when boys were BOYS NOIZE

There's definitely room for criticism on the quality of Forza Horizon's voice acting/stories/DJs...but it's pretty funny to follow that up by pining for DJ Atomica from Burnout. The single most grating voice in any racing game. He's not better than what's in Horizon. You were just 12.

He’d just won a truck series race in Dover last week and when asked if he had a win total he was hunting he said “…you never know when your last one’s gonna be so cherish em all, trust me.”

RIP Kyle Bush. One of my favorites from this era. Always entertaining, outspoken and talented.

absolutely horrible www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

the inexplicable pivot to video for "how to install this program" Has done nothing for humanity but add 100 cumulative hours to everyone's life that are spent doing nothing but listening to some awkward nerd saying, "Hey guys, I'm so and so tech and this is, uh, my desktop"

Everybody knows the burrow owl lives. In a hole. In the ground. Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?!

Flyers give you a ton of context about an event - what the tone and the values are. AI flyers say, nobody really cares about this, not even the people putting it on!!

I just remembered the horrifying Interpol puppets

55 POINTS 55 REBOUNDS 55 ASSISTS 55 BLOCKS

It gave a pretext for firing a bunch of people and not ever hiring more, so even if it doesn’t ever work at all it’s been a huge victory for our corporate overlords. They got way richer, made some csam material, poisoned some poor people, they’re having a great time.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

there's a reason this question is being posed by Fanduel Sportsbook. if you answered B, they're advertising to you

The man who bankrupted a casino has now also managed to produce the first football world cup nobody wants to attend, there has never been anyone else who ever possessed this level of ability at failing

Inventing the air conditioner Make it a 100 fucking pounds. No, no center mass to it at all somehow. Throw some fuckin…accordion arms on it that flap out and catch on everything when you’re carrying it up from the basement. And let me get 50 razor blades on the back of it too.

You do pay sales tax on online digital purchases though.
