I don't hate ties in football because every game means a lot and if two teams are equal, then the record should reflect that. But in baseball, each game is much less important and it's way more fun for fans to see a walkoff than a tie

You guys are nuts. The ghost runner rule is fine. There's 162 games, just get it over with. And I sure as hell do not want to sit through a 12 inning tie

Insane to imagine the Mariners could win the Vedder Cup and the World Series in the same year

The randomness of the calls from the MLB replay office makes me doubt it's corruption, but it almost seems impossible that they're this inept

yeah, real Synth Guys get all judgy about them cuz they're straight up copies of vintage gear, but I don't have $7k for a real Model D and this thing was like $200. the Pro-800 (copy of a Prophet 600) is my fav tho, so much fun to twist on

Can you imagine? In the US it would only be a matter of who could get there first to shut that down, the health or fire department

Americans love to mock the French as pussies but I can guarantee you if masked federal agents were disappearing journalists they would have 18-wheelers blocking every highway and protests throughout Paris

Protip: most of the time when you buy used stuff from Amazon it's brand new, sealed in original package and it saves like 30%. I've even bought stuff in "used-very good" condition and it says there could be slight damage or wear and the only thing that's damaged is the box it's in.

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this

Sorry but I fell for the Tommy Cutlets hype train and I need to see a few more games from Jaxson before I'm ready to be hurt again

The people who run the site won't create an actual moderation team and try to handle it all themselves. They banned a lot of people for making Charlie Kirk jokes. Meanwhile they refuse to do anything about Jesse Singal and others who say pretty inflammatory things about trans people.

Going on live stream hours after being arrested for murdering two girls to taunt the girls parents and lecture them that they should've been monitoring their social media... Can you even imagine how awful *his* parents are? He's 17 and he's back on stream hours after being arrested for murder

Please, take it from a Californian born and bred: you cannot trust Gavin Newsom. I don’t care if he has Good Posters working for him; he’ll sell vulnerable people down the river without blinking an eye.
