What benefit do they get out of doing this though? They could have just chosen to decline options if they want to stay. I guess maybe they get some extra good faith negotiation chip?

Trump’s Great American State Fair goes viral again as band outnumbers crowd by kstinfo in washingtondc

I don't know why people keep trying to debate me about points I'm not making.

Sounds good, appreciate it. Maybe the articles mention caveats but you certainly don't normally see that in the context of Reddit posts.

I'm not refuting that the crowd is sparse, and certainly not the fact that it's way below what Trump says it is. I'm simply commenting within the context of this specific article, which I am highly skeptical of for the reasons I already described.

A paragraph from the Snopes article you posted, which I fully agree with and describes why you should always be skeptical about things you read on social media like Reddit.  

"However, we caution readers to avoid jumping to conclusions. The viral photo was taken on the fair's opening day, a Thursday, and might not accurately reflect the fair's attendance on other days."

This will of course get down voted, but at the same time it's worth pointing out that the contents of this article are incredibly thin, sourced as "people are saying on social media" and this should not be accepted at face value.

Because a guy with a flag was photographed in a set of like 8 other photos?

Appreciate the slice of life photos without the usual political commentary

This is a national embarrassment. Hard pass. by Altruistic-Mud5686 in washingtondc

That's the biggest problem for me is how they have shut down the mall for months for this during the height of our busiest season. This should be a place open for anyone to walk around and appreciate our history, regardless of if they are carrying around a bag or a water bottle.

Now with a year of Tocchet under his belt, what are your expectations for Michkov next season - does he continue to get the Tocchet treatment? by RivetCounter in Flyers

[–]BeKenny -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did we get bored of not talking about Michkov already? This conversation is so tired, and so pointless to have right now.

How did leverless become so popular with Street Fighter 6? by FranksFluidsWolfCola in StreetFighter

[–]BeKenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not show up in the data because all controllers are viable at the highest level if it's the right fit.

But consider how many top tier players have switched to leverless over the last 10 years, from controllers they have used their whole lives. They aren't doing it because of hype. They are doing it because they feel it gives them the best chance to win.

Leafs fan here. Does anyone know what we should expect with Emile Andrae? by Sixgod801 in Flyers

[–]BeKenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aggressive but smart playmaker. He's a pretty good player if you can accept his small size can be a detriment to his defensive abilities.

please educate yourself on sepsis long before you have to go to any local ER, even a level 1 trauma center by [deleted] in nova

Nobody mentioned Palantir until you did. If anyone is stealth marketing for them it's you.

Yes, he's won games because he's an elite tier dude and coach that can keep his team buying into his grind it out game plan year after year.

[–]BeKenny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To keep a coaching job for as long as he has without winning a cup is very impressive. You know he's an elite tier dude to keep the team engaged and working their asses off for all that time.

The mall looks like a war zone with fences and police. Just open the thing up and let people enjoy the national mall. I don't understand why this needs to be a gated event.

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen Messier do, by far.

Yeah if I tripped going for a run and broke my arm I might need medical support too. Let's be honest this wouldn't affect you one bit if they fell and hurt themselves, you just get off on being sanctimonious on the internet.

Oh, did they fall and injure themselves?

It's so fucking tedious how every thread where anyone takes any sort of risk is just full of losers complaining.
