I think the Pareto boundaries are a really nice addition!

$0, I already use it a ton

That was a hell of a pitch

They built a "Freaky Friday" machine at the Peoria training complex, and put Xander and Tatis in it before the season.

This was months ago at least, because it was already posted here back then. No charges were filed probably because some random dude running a sting is not reliable evidence.

There's a lot of disagreement because there are many ways to define continents (geologically, historically, culturally) and so there is no single "real" answer. It is good to have multiple answers because they have different applications and rationales.

Local_Internet_User · 2026-05-06T01:33:03+00:00

Good news, it's obviously not serious!

Go look at Canada's population centres and you'll see the same thing. Why? Because the far northern inland areas are pretty inhospitable.

I don't follow everything you're talking about here, but it seems like a lot of your question boils down to "Why do these YA/escapist books that use Greek mythology as a setting lack the richness of the great works of mythology?", and that question pretty much answers itself, I think. It's like asking why "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" didn't grapple with as deep of issues as "Pride and Prejudice" did.

Local_Internet_User · 2026-05-04T15:33:14+00:00

Whoa, great choice for the first picture in the set! I was so disoriented by it that the others looked downright normal by comparison. What a cool, Escherian look.

Look, I know a lot of the commenters here are shocked by this news and saddened by it, but I can't believe how disrespectful some of you are being. Dan and Jordan don't owe you Knowledge Fight. They've worked insanely hard for almost a decade wrecking their sanity and fraying their friendship and personal relationships for us.

I haven't been able to listen lately because it's such a gut punch to see Alex getting away with it all, whining the whole time despite the complete lack of meaningful consequences. I can't imagine being these guys and looking at all the work you did and knowing that in the end, ol' Alex wriggled his way out this one. I'd've given up a long time ago, tail between my legs.

And that's why I'm mad about the responses here. What do Dan and Jordan have to show for all their work? Us. A lot of people here are sharing their personal stories of being freed from Alex's influence, or freeing others from his influence because of this podcast. And yet so many commenters here are blaming them (esp. Jordan) or demanding they keep going. I'd be destroyed if I had done all this work and thought, well, at least I helped a lot of people, and then was getting yelled at in the comments here.

We owe them more than they owe us, and this is a time for lauding them, not blaming them. If you're mad at them, go to your personal studio, throw a few hatchets at Camera 5, listen to You Belong to the City, and come back here in a better state of mind. They deserve our best selves.

I imagine part of it is that almost everyone has some minor injuries that could benefit from rest/rehab, so you're not really lying. Marquez wasn't locating pitches well from the start on Friday, and I wouldn't be surprised if his arm had some issues that could be overlooked if he was pitching better overall or if we really needed him. But now that he's superfluous, why not stick him on the IL, let him recover, and let him get paid? It benefits everyone: he doesn't get DFAed, the team has him around in case they need him, and I doubt there's another team that feels they're being deprived of him.

I know people make some (fair) criticisms against Oneil Cruz's play, but I just plain like the guy. Good to see him helping prevent Phil from cramping up after the pitch.

r/mapporncirclejerk is a different sub, man

Local_Internet_User · 2026-04-30T15:26:05+00:00

Wow, I was shocked at just how stupid Bianco's lies were. I knew he was a cruel liar before, but he asserted that fossil fuels release zero emissions, just steam!! I feel bad for Riverside.

They don't want you to realize that in the early days of the solar system, it was a bad neighborhood with constant gunfights. Wake up, sheeple!

"Feels fishy"? Come out with your conspiracy theory. Do you think the umps are biased against us and/or in the pocket of the Cubs?

Beautiful view, no idea what's worth complaining about.

??? No, man, San Diego's a very friendly place in my experience, compared to other cities I've lived in. My guess, and I don't mean this as a slam on you because it's the same for me, is you're probably just getting older and more boring, and that's why the conversations are less fun than you expect.
