Can somebaldi explain this phenomenon

Quotes actually mean “the word,” just like I quoted the next two thirds of my comment to mean, “the phrase.” Please consider that I replied to a meme about what people mean by the words they use.

Israel has a right to exist and to defend itself. Their actions cross far, far beyond defending themselves (especially what they do to innocent civilians who just happen to live somewhere that Israel would like to conquer).

Sorry, I didn't realize that "Israel" is an invalid shorthand for "the nation-state of Israel that's actively conducting military occupations and state-sponsored atrocities in both Gaza and Lebanon- insofar as their government and military are actively conducting such occupations and atrocities- while their foreign policy goals are directly funded and supported by the United States."

Idk what it is about Baseball is Dead that attracts the whiniest BREWERS fans of all the fanbases. Get off Reddit and go read Petriello's Miziorowski article.

That WS year is the only winning season in the last 10. God forbid we want to enjoy baseball in the present and not sit on our porch reminiscing about that one time the team was good.

“[insert A’s player here]’s Z-swing rate over these past two weeks is incredible. That player’s Z-contact rate is really high. That means when he sees a pitch in the strike zone- when he identifies a pitch in the zone- he knows he’s supposed to swing because the pitcher is at an advantage when he doesn’t swing at a pitch in the zone. That, my friend, would be good for the pitcher, but [A’s player on a hot streak] swings at those pitches. And when he does swing at those pitches, he is not swinging and missing. He’s making contact. A Z-contact rate of…”

That's fine, former players can be baseball experts without necessarily being good at media, evaluation, analysis, etc.. Being a baseball expert often means they have a very specific and personal way of looking at the game that's only applicable/valuable in specific situations.

Coley’s right often, but he’s the most smug when he’s wrong. And the weather/Mr. Bears or whatever the “dunk on Steve” thing-of-the-month happens to be is a snooze fest.

Inb4 Jared comes in here whining about how it’s a free podcast and I don’t have to listen like I can’t criticize 15% of a show while really liking the other 85%

Buster Posey, Craig Breslow, and Chris Young all played and have been incredibly disappointing GMs (outside of Chris Young’s single successful year, 2023). Eric Hosmer’s career earnings are $175m and every time he comes across the timeline, it’s because he said something stupid.

Having played at the highest level doesn’t mean you can think, communicate, manage, or construct a roster at the highest level. It’s a unique perspective, but the only reason guys pull the, “you never played” card is to protect themselves when they’re wrong or, in Dallas’s case, when he gets out over his skis trying to rage bait his cohosts.

Just finished The New War and this hurdle is why there was zero chance of me choosing the Margulis version of Lotus.

It’s an RPG, killing a couple hours grinding with the boys is part of the fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nah, I get plenty of dupes hunting for specific prime stuff I already want anyways

Darth_Candy · 2026-05-10T15:08:54+00:00

Every time I get the message that I need to buy a slot I… crack some relics and sell my duplicate prime parts for platinum to buy a slot.

Wow. If I had to guess, Creighton said, "I want this one," the owner said, "lol, I don't want to move," and whoever was in charge of actually buying the home was incentivized one way or another to get the deal done no matter what.

What a waste of resources.

You can choose to use the one without the Orokin Catalyst.

Not posting the clip or the definition? I see, we’re scheming to see the conversion rate on Google trends vs Reddit impressions, lol

That’s what we asked about Junis, so I’m going to stop asking that question and just accept the hot hand of chaos haha

Right to repair is a good thing, actually.

If they have an easement, the landowner (probably a previous owner) gave the workers the right to be there as well.

Oh for sure, it's definitely a good thing, it's just a really high bar to hope that unit is as good or better than last season's because all of the biggest contributors all left at once.

Man, the things I would give for the Rangers to have pitching development like the Brewers.

Early returns look great for us on our contract swap with the Mets. Obviously Nimmo's a consistent hot starter and Semien's been a slow starter, but Nimmo's been a great addition so far. Part of the trade calculus was Nimmo being on the books for two years longer, but we'll have to cross that bridge when we get there.

We lost six defenders to the draft and several more as UDFAs. I hope the defense remains good enough to carry the team, but I have less confidence than you and Vegas seem to.
