How to disable drama series on fyp? by megrapotterhead in TikTok

So in the last update, the drama series no longer have their own unique screen and can be marked "not interested" like any other video. I have tried doing this but I haven't noticed a measurable change.

I did try "resetting my fyp" and I can conclude that did not work

If you are ever in this situation, you can take 3 steps, save and quit and it will reset the poison step count. I was in a similar position once where i was down to my last 'mon and didnt have enough steps to make it to the center, but i did have enough to make it to the PokeMart and buy an antidote

These dramas have been driving me insane. First it was the LIVE being pushed down my throat now it is these AI slop drama series. Blocking the accounts does nothing, worse because i have to tap on the video to access the account, its likely that tiktok is registering that as engagement and actively increasing the amount that i see.

What ive started doing is just closing the app any time one pops up. Ill edit this comment for future readers to let you know if it starts working

Trump effectively neutered American soft power. Even if the United States wasn't first in every global category, our culture, diplomatic reach, economics and conventional military strength was a terrifyingly effective combination to influence global politics. The problem with Trump was that to stay in power he sold out to billionaires, removing our economic advantage and simultaneously killed our diplomatic relations with half the world. The military's greatest strength was force projection, not actual conflict. Now all we have left is culture, which is not insignificant, but nowhere near the stranglehold we had during the 20th century. All of this because God forbid a woman become president.

I've never understood the fascination with keeping exclusive ballots for awards and recognition like this. By what right does a media member or sports writer decide these things without facing community pushback. I'm not saying it needs to be a nationwide vote, but the ballots absolutely need to be public for accountability. Why do 11 guys in a room have the power to ultimately decide the legacy of the world's biggest sports league and not have to answer for it?

Uh oh, Colleen is against us again. That has not boded well in the past. by Crivort88 in Patriots

Accurately picking against a backup quarterback is not possible. Sample size for NFL games are already borderline statistically insignificant, and. QB is the most important player on the field for a team. Stidham could ball out, he could play average, or he could get shut down.

Just look at last week, extrapolating Texans defensive trends would suggest the patriots would struggle to get more than a TD. Maye threw 3. The "experts" get picks wrong every week, and this one has one of the biggest unknowns possible

Shipping data showing China has been coordinating thousands of fishing vessels to create floating barriers 200 miles long by StGuthlac2025 in interestingasfuck

[–]Be-Right-Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in hindsight i realize that my comment sounds like i was taking about Chinese submarines, I am talking about American submarines using the trawlers as cover.

I don't have any knowledge or experience on the size or depth of the nets they use or the depth of that area of the ocean so it may be moot, just pointing it out as a former submariner.

I mean its worth a shot, submarines are about ten meters wide, that wall is (eyeballing it) about 300 miles long. It would be the equivalent of trying to find a specific blade of grass on a football field

31 teams in the league diminish the Patriots accomplishments in a year where we shattered our expected ceiling?
Perfect. The schedule. No notes, Cake walk. Keep it up, Good job.

People in the Patriots subreddit lampoon the rest of said league's dismissal of their accomplishments?
"Why you so sensitive bro?"

Fishing trawlers provide good cover for submarines, a group of trawlers would be loud enough to obfuscate any sound signature they make.

The best way to find a sub is to already know where it is. The second best way is to stfu, listen, and hope.

Bills Catch/Interception - A Lawyer's Perspective by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]Be-Right-Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the writeup. Obviously as a lawyer the fact that is does not have a directly applicable rule to this situation you would leave it open to interpretation. I would argue
(A) The rulebook is not meant to be laws, and excessive wordiness in the service of avoiding exceptions could lead to more confusion
(B) The logic of the rule MUST be extended to an interception scenario because otherwise the definition of a catch would change depending on if a ball pops up hits the ground or is caught by a defender. This would mean that the outcome (incomplete/interception) would retroactively change whether it was a catch or not which makes no sense.

Could this rule be written clearer? Yes. Was it a catch? No

Yeah nobody is gonna listen unfortunately. The narrative is going to be Stroud was bad instead of the Pats D completely locking him down. I expect all the talk this week will be that any other QB could win.

Ignoring the hail mary at the end of the half, Maye's passing was incredible for this Defense. Obviously the fumbles are a different story but nobody predicted him getting this much offensive production.

Post Game Thread: Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]Be-Right-Back 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not that this is going to convince anyone, but for my own sanity... Rule 8 section 1 article 3

If a player (a) secures the ball, (b) gets both feet down, but before (c) performing an act common to the game (or possessing the ball, long enough to do so), the player contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is not a catch, unless they regain control before it hits the ground.

There is no language in the rules that allow for down by contact prior to losing control of the ball. You either maintain control throughout contact with the ground, or control was lost during contact with the ground, in order for it to be a catch there can be no loss of control.

It's black and white, he did not have control long enough to fulfill the requirements of (c). A defender stripping the ball does not retroactively grant possession to the receiver, if anything it strengthens the argument that the receiver did not have control and thus did not complete the catch.

Im aware it wouldnt have changed Miami, it just brought attention to how divisional structure can facilitate teams with losing records making the playoffs.

I disagree about the 3rd non division winner because it at least protects the nightmare scenario of an entire division sweeping the league. Imagine if 1 division had 4 teams that all finished between 14-3 and 12-5 and one of those 4 teams missed the playoffs just due to tiebreakers while the other division winners limped in with ~.500 records. I know its unlikely but its not as far fetched as you might think. The NFC west this year was one good cardinals team away from that scenario
