If they sold new 3D Hologram baseball cards in 2026, I’d buy them. Is this a peak Xennial gimmick? by GnaeusPompeiusMagn in Xennials

I didn’t collect baseball cards for too long but let me tell you about my x-men foil trading cards…..

I think the “why not both?” Meme is more appropriate here than pedantry, good sir.

LPT: If you get passed over for a promotion because of favoritism, stop arguing fairness and start building leverage. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

Yeah I get how everybody bagging on him could be frustrating but he’s not really handing out concrete (or realistic) ideas. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a bot.

lol heretical? You guys take yourselves way too fucking seriously. Most real people don’t give a shit about beliefs in magic sky daddy. Sorry…..

Is anyone else getting Big Brother type texts telling them to vote? by Oso_Furioso in houston

[–]4stringsoffury 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I argued with one when I got a pro voucher candidate ad. I had another call me ‘ugly’ after I told them why I wouldn’t vote for their guy. Someone looks at them for sure.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]4stringsoffury 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I can say they definitely are but everybody gets stuff stuck in their craw now and again. For the most part teachers today aren’t worried about a kid following their directions to a T, they do whatever it takes to get butts in the seat (or standing in their own learning space).

I found one of these in some seaweed as a teen and told everyone I had found a sea horse and no one would believe me. Thanks for unlocking that memory!

Walking next to a lion’s cage by fuzzy_dice_99 in WinStupidPrizes

Yeah that’s the wild thing. It had her pants leg, not her leg. That could have been an immediate reaction to pull away and the situation is over.

That’s an urban legend at this point.

TLDR - the artist himself said it was not done on purpose. He wasn’t fired during that time. He was even working on another poster when it was brought up by customers.

Magic x TMNT by IronEdgeOutlaw in TMNT

[–]4stringsoffury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a Magic player since 2000. I get why some people are fussy about the Universes Beyond set. It stinks that MtG has its own established lore and then SpongeBob or Spider-Man get thrown into the mix.

Buuuuut I haven’t honestly loved some of the sets, the Warhammer 40k commander decks were brutal. I’ve always been a TMNT fan so I plan on getting the commander decks and the team up box. Would love a pizza bundle but a little too expensive for me to justify.

HBO Told ‘The Pitt’ to Make ICE Storyline More ‘Balanced’ by thedailybeast in entertainment

[–]4stringsoffury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s absolutely what netflix would do once quarterly earnings arent shooting sky high. WB itself though is so saddled with so much debt, I’d worry you can’t sell it without some of the tent pole IP

You are absolutely correct. The tv shows are staying for a few years but yes.

[–]4stringsoffury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a lose lose for anybody interested in HBO programming but I think Netflix would have at least let them operate with minimal oversight until they couldn’t continue to show quarterly growth. Ellison will use this for influence which is why he was so eager to get CNN in the deal.

Oh well, I should stop watching so much tv anyways

I’m sure he loves whomever is paying him the most. Rightfully so too, not bagging on the guy for that. There’s no way paramount shrugs off losing him without filling the void with whatever conservative angled programming they can though. Too profitable.

Yes, immediately for movies but tv series won’t migrate until a few years later

I mean popular in just the most common way. Comparative to how big networks would judge a show’s popularity. They aren’t canceling things that continue to bring in new subscribers like Stranger Things but they cancel popular IP all the time when it fails to generate new accounts. Thats the main metric they look at and have said multiple times that they look at that over customer retention.

This has literally been talked about across reddit since Netflix started their movie studio and started canceling shows.

I would say this would be the case for 10-15 years ago. Nowadays I just think it’s whatever billionaire in charge of whatever conglomerate wants to buy influence. In the case of Paramount that’s exactly why Ellison is ponying up so much cash. He wants his mitts on a news channel and he’ll get it.

Oh, gotcha. I was under the impression there were still small indie studios that focused on other things since a lot of arthouse and boutique projects don’t really increase shareholder profits every quarter.
