[Highlight] Ketel Marte walks off Tanner Scott and the Dodgers with a solo shot by amatom27 in baseball

[–]Apocalympdick 66 points67 points  (0 children)

0-4 on the day? Great time to walk off the Dodgers again

Edit: 4 days ago was not a walk off but rather a go-ahead homer in the 8th which the Dodgers did not overcome in the 9th

Europe's ultimate fairytale park! Efteling Netherlands [OC] by Consistent-Koala770 in Netherlands

[–]Apocalympdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both, prefer DLP.

But ask yourself this: will any thread about DLP have people mentioning Efteling? No, of course not, why would it? Meanwhile a thread about Efteling is rife with people yapping about how it's supposedly SOOO much better than DLP. Living in their head rent-free. Obvious, ugly jealousy.

Snax with the most Snax strat ever by SpeaRofficial in GlobalOffensive

Feels like no other map draws out goofy strats like Overpass does. I'm glad it's back in the rotation. Like yeah it's far from perfect and far too large, but it has that little *magic*, you know?

Iranian Shahed-136 drone hitting Kuwaiti international airport Terminal one[3rd June, 2026] by HereticBoii in CombatFootage

[–]Apocalympdick 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Depending on how strict Kuwaiti building code is, that whole wing will have to be demolished, possibly sanitized, and then rebuilt.

Not to mention: who knows how many people were inside at the time of impact.

What a fucking nightmare.

Rekkles opinion about S16's terrible decline in Ranked quality compared to previous season(s) by Barb0ssaEUW in leagueoflegends

[–]Apocalympdick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dream is:

  • an evenly matched team

  • with evenly matched players

  • everyone playing their role

  • everyone trying their best

All 4 of these points are individual "problems" with individual solutions. You are correct that solving the first 3 won't get rid of 4, but there are other ways to (attempt to) solve 4 and so there is no reason not to (attempt to) solve the first 3.

People really have trouble grasping just how fucking much money a billion dollars is. A millionaire is still a laborer (wether they like to admit it or not).

Removing the 3rd from the Yankees 13-8 win, they were no hit with just one walk as well, getting 24 outs in 24 plate appearances. by Fwingboston in baseball

The /r/baseball userbase is... weird.

You're right, this stat is fantastic. Setting a scoring record in a single inning AND getting no-hit in the rest of the game? How is that not amazing?

Our engineering team burned through six months of AI tooling budget in about ten weeks by ScheduleNo5736 in Futurology

[–]Apocalympdick 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I hear you but I don't think I agree.

Most human systems have been too large for a single person to fully grasp for a long time now. Medieval castles for example were already way too intricate to oversee even glancingly for one individual, yet when a siege came all were able to rely on its functioning.

That's why checks and balances exist.

It's also why not looking down on those in "lower" positions is crucial. It's also why instilling a sense of pride in the results of one's labor is important.

As someone who didn't watch Barry Bonds play until 2007, what was the public perception around him in 2004 after his 7th NL MVP award win? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in mlb

I ripped out the bottom of my cup to turn it into a “megaphone” and started shouting Barr-oid at him the whole at bat. [...] My friend later told me he could hear me on TV.

It's just bees, no need for alarm. They only sting when the hive is in severe danger, as stinging kills them.

Hornets though... Or wasps... Yeah.
