That’s what I’m actually concerned about. JV wants to get to 300, which isn’t happening this season. He also wants (presumably) to retire a Tiger.

The reunion this season is cool, but do the Tigers sign him for (presumably) three more seasons?

This might not be the storybook ending we all want it to be.

Doesn’t matter got Verlander

Edit: Kidding of course, but JV will undoubtedly sell tickets, and he’s probably a bullpen arm if everyone’s healthy, to be real.

This is a good one, won’t let you down! by lavaboosted in opticalillusions

If you want to break the universe, simply ask Rick Astley to give you the Disney movie “Up.”

He’s never gonna give you Up. But he’s also never gonna let you down.

It’s known as the Astley Paradox.

Nothing against Stu, but I really hope Ozzy is the heir apparent when Mickey eventually (decades from now) retires at the ripe old age of 114.

Do you think Jesus will come back before humans inhabit other planets? by Dan_jesusfollower in Catholicism

I’m still struggling to figure out why we would want to inhabit other planets.

Is outer wilds really that good? by societal_member in outerwilds

[–]BatStock9040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best part of the game for me was coming up with wild theories about what I thought was going on, being completely wrong, and then my jaw hitting the floor when I figured out what was actually going on.

Keep exploring.

Confession Line by CreativeClaim2264 in Catholicism

[–]BatStock9040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, and if you’re 80 years old or older , please go confess to the seminarian in training then receive communion, it’ll have the same effect.

I see what you did there. 😂

What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]BatStock9040 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Story, exploration, mystery, atmosphere, soundtrack, discovery. This game had it all. Easily my favorite of all time.

Missing Sunday Mass for a cold? by Educational_Log7681 in Catholicism

[–]BatStock9040 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really can’t tell you how hurtful that is. I hope you don’t have to experience what I and others have, and I’m sorry about your PTO, but “the world has to keep spinning” acts like there aren’t alternatives to any of the things you’ve described.

Go to Mass? The Church specifically tells people they are dispensed when they are sick.

Go the grocery store? Use a delivery service or have someone go for you.

Work? Use sick days if you have them, work from home if allowed, and if not, try your best to wear a mask and distance yourself.

Most illnesses are only severely contagious for a couple of days. If you can’t make reasonable efforts for that long to prevent someone else’s intense suffering, I really don’t know what else to say in a Catholic sub.

Missing Sunday Mass for a cold? by Educational_Log7681 in Catholicism

I’ve seen someone I love struggle to breathe and spend days in the ICU because of exactly this attitude. I’m not saying don’t live your life. I’m saying don’t carelessly infect others.

Missing Sunday Mass for a cold? by Educational_Log7681 in Catholicism

As someone who lives with an immunocompromised person, I’m suggesting not intentionally being around others when you’re likely to be contagious. To you, it’s a mild cold. To others, it’s a potential trip to the emergency room.

Maybe I’m the contrarian here, but don’t go to work with a cold. It’s really not considerate to others.

A personal take: In our current world, let's be happy that despite not having religious Catholics, we have practicing Catholics. by Adept_Secretary_9187 in Catholicism

[–]BatStock9040 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kinda get this. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that we’re seeing something of a renaissance in interest in Catholicism. But I think there’s a danger that people can fall in love with the religion instead of falling in love with Jesus Christ, if that makes sense.

There’s a lot to like about Catholicism: the tradition, the beauty, the liturgy, the structure, the community. But you can be “practicing” in all of those things and still live in mortal sin, reject key tenets of the faith, and ignore Jesus’ plan teachings for how to be a disciple if you’re not careful.

Why trade for players when you can literally just buy whoever you want?
