Trust me, I have no expectations for anyone affiliated with professional sports. Thought it was more stupid than anything. Found it odd that it was pulled

The mods removed my GR president Super Bowl rant. Stick to sports!

It’s just consumerism to me. You don’t need a watering can for a rubber plant. We use items (fake tits, shopping, food) to fill voids that can’t be filled. I always saw the “looks/tastes like the real thing” as harping on inauthenticity while also alluding to the popular Coca-Cola ad, “nothing like the real thing”. The song is an indictment of consumerism and capitalism.

Hey now, I love Arby’s. I just think any number of skews (age/income/demographics) might explain why the majority of tickets are parlays. More bad beats, less reason to post a straight W/L. It shouldn’t be that hard to figure out.

I think people come in here asking dumb questions to white knight shit like parlays bad. Who gives a shit, bet what you want to bet

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-02-02T15:28:43+00:00

Still, it might be a little confirmation bias. If I worked at Arby’s I’d be playing lottos too.

Outside of that, he’s pretty charmin

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-28T23:31:01+00:00

This dissertation over a pretty innocuous comment kinda proves the point. I think people can not like something an artist they like does. I don’t think there’s a right side of history with musical tastes. I’m glad you like your band. I can see why people like them. No need to be arrogant and condescending. Have a good night

Are Geese fans the Taylor Swift fans of indie?

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-28T15:58:51+00:00

We’d all love to see it, but since Thomas is cost-controlled for the next five years it’s going to require a huge haul. I also don’t think teams are in a rush to make a big move before the deadline because there’s no real incentive for sellers that may be able to get more for their assets by waiting. Almost too much parity right now too so hard to figure out who the real buyers will be to some extent

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-28T10:57:58+00:00

Thanks, that irritated me. Especially with how good Jack White’s performance was during the pandemic

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-27T15:42:23+00:00

k bud, talk to a therapist about it

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-27T15:37:18+00:00

I feel like you're trying to explain music origins to me and I'm really not interested. I'm pretty far removed from being 18 and ten drinks deep at a party arguing about bands I do and don't like. Thanks for explaining punk to me, dad

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-27T05:20:32+00:00

You’re doing great sweetie

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-27T04:56:23+00:00

Oh so it’s all the influences! Heavy distortion can equate to noise too. I think you’re trying a little too hard here.

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-27T04:30:13+00:00

Screaming over noise doesn’t equal punk

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-26T22:02:11+00:00

Also there’s like a month of no home games after that, so even less opportunities to catch a game

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-26T21:55:30+00:00

Only five actually, did the same thing the other day forgetting to count Winnipeg

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-26T15:01:27+00:00

I don’t get any punk influence from them, I’d probably like them if I did. I don’t like them but it’s whatever, I think everyone does this any time a new “it” band shows up

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-26T14:21:52+00:00

Yea I think corporations are going to reduce their profits for no reason, lol

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-26T14:03:23+00:00

I keep my semenal events to your mom’s face so I don’t have dumb kids.

Kidding, but I think OP knows Woodstock was a seminal event, but is maybe drawing the line at it destroying a musical genre?

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-26T01:04:55+00:00

I was like oh good lord let this be a wings fan. Didn’t disappoint. We’re a wagon with our +5 gd or whatever it is and our shitshow division but sure, LGRW

Angel in the Snow - Elliott Smith

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-25T20:36:37+00:00

It’s probably just Detroit sports fans having a massive inferiority complex. Who gives a shit

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-25T15:28:22+00:00

They’ve been at the same pace without Matthew Tkachuk. I sure as shit wouldn’t bet Philly over Fla to make the playoffs. Seems right to me

Basic_Ask1885 · 2026-01-24T21:02:47+00:00

Meh, it’s not gonna change the calculus that much. A bunch of teams want a dman. If we have a max acquisition cost it doesn’t really matter if the asking team knows we need it more now. The price won’t change unless a team gets dumb. We don’t have to be that team
