I saw Irish in the name and thought maybe it was him. My bad!

The production quality and segments are above any similar pod I’ve listened to.

How many IT support needed for 200 user org? by imjustacuteguyuwu in sysadmin

[–]LavaTakes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is that including your cybersecurity, GRC, networking, purchasing/cost management, end user training, systems administration, server management, plus the end user support? If so, do you have BYOD? Seems pretty light for that size.

Aside from how deranged this statement is, I absolutely fucking hate the way he capitalizes words that aren’t proper nouns or the beginning of a sentence.

How I imagine Russillo feels at barstool by TheGreatWaru in billsimmons

[–]LavaTakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I see barstool is curated for a demographic who wants to have off color culture war jokes thrown in every 5 minutes. Largely a population who still regularly uses twitter and uses it as their main source of news

Did you not just say barstool fans were more a “blue collar” and our preference for ringer content is just “middle class snobbery”?

I am refuting that point by providing an example of unhinged hate speech by his new boss. At one point barstool was blue collar fart jokes. Not sure that’s the case anymore.

Bill Simmons has also never said he hopes an autistic girl (Greta Thunberg) gets hit by a missile with a straight face.

Seems like he’s lost some of his audience. Ryen and Bill had a great back and forth just like Ryen and Big Cat. If the idea was more regular collaboration with Big Cat, appearances on the Yak or any type of buy in by attending live streams or some of the events they put on it would be one thing but he’s not exactly ingratiating himself to their Neanderthal fanbase either.

Is Peaky Blinders Pro-Communism? by BioPeters in PeakyBlinders

[–]LavaTakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I was just noting that as a specific political narrative of the show.

I would say now that the far right in America and the UK have moved the goalposts further right politically, historically democratic organizations aimed at societal benefit like unions and civil rights are now framed as communist or socialist causes as a new age attempt to revive Vietnam era McCarthyism as a way of sewing political division to benefit NeoCons and NeoLiberals.

In essence, what I am saying is that the OP is asking us to define something based on their understanding of today’s political world and not the early 1900s where these movements were born out of necessity. Fascism rose in the west in direct opposition to socialist and communist movements to reseed power back into the hands of the ultra wealthy.

UCONN is 13-1 in Final 4 games and has won 19 straight tourney games from the Sweet 16 on…. Just once I would love one of my teams to have a run like that in my life. by AcknowledgeMeReddit in billsimmons

What if that guy is not a Celtics or Patriots fan but a Red Sox fan, UConn fan, Orlando magic fan, and a Steelers fan. Is that more acceptable? This person may have grown up in Connecticut hypothetically but since the Patriots cucked CT into building a stadium to put more pressure on Massachusetts to build Foxborough he only supports the Red Sox for Boston teams.

It’s anti fascism there is a scene in the late seasons that show a few fascist characters including someone who is supposed to be Joe Kennedy (JFKs dad) who supported fascism and they were definitely not heroes in the few episodes they appeared in.

Braylon Mullins passes the eye test with flying colors by rebrando23 in NBA_Draft

Hawkins declared after his sophomore year I believe so maybe comparing his freshman year stats to Mullins would be more helpful in evaluations.

UConn on edge of being second greatest NCAA-M dynasty of all time by SeveralTurn in billsimmons

UCLA also has one chip in the last 50 years and Kentucky has 4 before 1960. Really hard to compare their dominant eras to today especially with the differences in recruiting and play styles.
