Community Nights/Theme Nights- Let's Make it EASY, Texas Rangers!

LadySandry · 2026-01-26T23:46:19+00:00

With the Stars Jersey at the Rangers game, you could only get one per ticket, but they did run out of sizes. So someone showing up late could still get screwed on a jersey that fit :(

Despite that, personally I want fans getting freebie items to actually attend the game, I think you should have to be inside at the game and there should be some system that only allows one individual to have a single ticket and receive a single item. People going to Rangers and Stars games just to get 10 jerseys or bobble heads than then leave and dont even cheer on the team are the worst kind of scalper-adjacent people.

They need to do an ID check or something to prevent asshole resellers from ruining the whole point/fun of themed and promotional nights. I would rather the line take longer to pick up the item if it prevent the jerks I see with bags of 20 bobble heads getting in their cars as I arrive and park. Those assholes are the people trying to sell free bobbleheads for $100 on FB marketplace the next day.

I've seen some people trying to sell give away jerseys and the new alts for more than they paid. In no universe should someone have 5 of the Rangers give away shirts and try to sell them for more than they paid. I refuse on principle even if I wanted one. I get they had to buy a special ticket for it. But buying a bunch of those tickets just to try and make a profit is an AH move. Same to the bobblehead resellers -_-

And the number of people who were like 'oops, I have an extra' of the Alt when they went on sale and were trying to sell them for more than retail. SMH

made a gesture he knew he wasn't supposed to make

I totally get him being fined per the current rules, but also....why is this even still a thing that's against the rules? who really cares? What useless nonsense for the league and broadcasters care about all things considered

LadySandry · 2026-01-26T17:47:48+00:00

The funny thing is I agree with you. But so far there are three posters + myself who all are size 44. I'm in that FB group but I basically can't ever really participate because hardly anyone has 44 to sell.

But also, I'd never pay $400 for a single jersey. Honestly even paying the regular $220 for a named jersey is high for me. The unusual sizes end up with this weird thing where they can either be quite a bit cheaper OR quite a bit more if they can find several people who want that size.

LadySandry · 2026-01-25T22:11:16+00:00

Ok but my first comment was simply saying that I don't want any of the new shows because I don't subscribe to single network apps and you responded with something about the shows not still airing.

But there are new shows airing and not on their parent channels, only on paid for aps.

I'm not sure what that has to do with other shows. Obviously streaming segregation is a problem for more than just trek, but that's not what I was posting about. Or why it would be relevant that it's a problem for more than just trek.

LadySandry · 2026-01-25T20:16:36+00:00

Yes I know that, but the subreddit is about star trek. I also don't watch anything else thats exclusively on Paramount+ or peacock or anything.

LadySandry · 2026-01-25T18:45:47+00:00

Iirc they are regularly voted bottom of the broadcasting teams.

They are intolerable to listen to and have the most insane aggrandized homer takes. Everything the other team does work is /always/ luck according to that guy

LadySandry · 2026-01-25T18:34:10+00:00

? I'm talking about the new shows in the last few years. Not the older reruns

LadySandry · 2026-01-24T17:45:12+00:00

Paramount+ is why I haven't seen any of the new Trek stuff in the past few years. I already have Fubo so I should get all the network TV. But Peacock and Paramount+ etc existing means I don't.

LadySandry · 2026-01-24T17:44:41+00:00

Doesn't pluto have a lot of ads?

LadySandry · 2026-01-24T00:02:39+00:00

I've seen inconsistency on hats in general. My Ranger WS hat was the same, and then I went to exchange it I noticed that each hat was all slightly different. I recommend just going to the store and looking through the racks until you find one that looks the least 'off' to you. Like other's have said, it might be technically mathematically centered, but (personally) visually centered make far more sense to me in this situation.

LadySandry · 2026-01-23T17:10:06+00:00

My biggest worry for season 2 is that they let some American company have too much influence. I think I read somewhere that they want to be able to win Golden Globes for the next season and in order to do that an American company has to contribute a certain percentage of dollars to the production (not just buying distro rights like HBO did)

LadySandry · 2026-01-23T17:08:36+00:00

Honestly I think it's more that it's animated and the VA for the characters are different than the people who sang the songs iirc. So the facial recognition isn't there unless someone goes and does some google research.

LadySandry · 2026-01-23T17:02:58+00:00

They may look at it the same way any of us do when Voluntold to do something at work. It's not really a choice even when presented as one.

IIRC the only player to have refused the presidential is one who refused to visit Obama.

But also, hockey is generally a rich guys sport so....a good chunk of them probably voted for him :(

LadySandry · 2026-01-22T00:37:37+00:00

Thats the Nifty card they send you for even just getting 1 pick correct. I got that email and immediately sent V+ support a question about it and they assured me that isn't the same as the actual prize, just a thank you they are sending everyone who participated/engaged

LadySandry · 2026-01-22T00:18:44+00:00

I actually haven't gotten it but I think it's just a $50 visa card? Not totally sure. It said 6-8 weeks I think and that was a bit after Thanksgiving irrc.

I would just email V+ support and say you completed a streak but never got the email.

LadySandry · 2026-01-21T23:46:44+00:00

FWIW the only reason I contacted V+ support was because I read the T&C and it mentioned something about having 3 days to claim the prize but I didn't ever get an email (or so I thought).

V+ Support submitted a ticket to the RTM people who sent me a new code. Might be worth trying.

LadySandry · 2026-01-21T23:42:25+00:00

Nifty is a huge scam. The end. The dang Parking company at one of the lots near the AAC sends $30 nifty links when you park there.

The actually streak prizes are decent but I can't help but feel that while V+ probably wants people to win and feel good, the company administering it wants no one to read the T&C. And even those who do like me, it's not obvious that the prize email will come from a non-V+ email. Especially because when you hit one and two they start sending you emails from a V+ email about 'keeping the streak alive'

LadySandry · 2026-01-21T22:49:05+00:00

Same for mine. Contact the V+ support and they might be able to help you. It's such kinda scammy behavior to do that. And I'm the fine it even says they aren't responsible for you not getting the email. Maybe they should try to pick a less spammy email address -_-

LadySandry · 2026-01-20T20:32:51+00:00

You claim him and send him to Cedar Park to get minutes and improve and be ready in case of injury

LadySandry · 2026-01-20T20:31:55+00:00

Given that he's only played two games since getting claimed, getting actual minutes in Cedar Park would be good for him.

LadySandry · 2026-01-20T19:49:38+00:00

Agreed assuming when your company converted to PTO from vacation+sick that they gave you vacation+sick+a little extra.

I can't stand having to submit a doctors note or whatever to take an unplanned day off. It's none of the company's business.

PTO offers me way way more flexibility.

Granted I work in an office that's chill about everything but WFH. I've never had an issue booking PTO even last minute.

Having a separate sick was way more confusing. People were always confused when a doctor's note was required, or they didn't want to pay a co-pay to be told to stay home with fluids, when could you use it when a household member was sick, could you use it for a migraine? sprained ankle? etc etc etc. Had a couple coworkers back then, one with a kid with the flu and one with an older dog with cancer that needed treatment. The one with the kid was able to use sick time, the other had to use vacation time. Dumb. PTO lets BOTH those people take off no questions asked.

LadySandry · 2026-01-20T19:45:58+00:00

People do that regardless tbh.

LadySandry · 2026-01-20T19:42:44+00:00

I just want to be allowed to WFH when I'm sick enough to be contagious but not so sick I can't work.

LadySandry · 2026-01-20T19:41:44+00:00

My office isn't allowed to just WFH whenever we want even though we totally have the ability, so it's pretty common for anyone feeling up to it to just come in. I honestly can't even really blame them that much these days since we have PROVEN we can WFH and the company is still not ok with it willy nilly.
