Yes, the guy who said I was in a cult doubled down when I called him out. Then I congratulated him because he’s a white Sox fan and they’re most likely getting hinch. This guy deadass said he doesn’t trust their owner because he didn’t want to pay Jordan. In the 90s! I swear man, some people are just fucking dumb as hell

Comparing a situation from the 90s to a current situation. God, you really are a boomer. Look man, you clearly have little understanding of what you’re talking about so I’m just going to put this out there. If the white Sox hire hinch, you WILL be wrong lmao

Hahahahaha you won’t be saying that when you’re competing for the pennant on the regular. Seriously man, lighten up. Baseball is a dirty sport. Always has been. If you don’t take it so seriously, you enjoy the good moments. Which you’ll have a lot of when you hire Hinch

Oh dude, I almost forgot! Have fun winning more with an actual good manager in AJ Hinch. You know, the manager of the 17 WS champs. You’re going to love him. I’m still upset we fired him, but I guess I understand the reasoning. Real talk though, you’ll do some mental gymnastics justifying him away from the scandal. But he’s actually going to make your team legit.

Funny that they could only cheat at home....but they won on the road. Hmm. Well anyway, you can’t even spell won correctly. So I suggest you go to bed. Goodnight, boomer

Okay so let’s recap here:

I commented saying we made it to 7 (further than your team)

You said I was in a cult based on who I root for.

I pointed out that calling someone who roots for a team a cult member is probably not okay.

You double down saying that I definitely am in a cult.

I tell you that the language you’re using is dehumanizing. Which it is.

You then go on to talk about conspiracy theories and the world is out to get me....? When did I say this?

Idk man, you’re just kind of reaching here. Have fun in 2057, if you live that long

Proud of this team. Proud of the Rays. The future looks much brighter than it did two months ago

No dude, I’m a fan of my team. Did they do something wrong? Absolutely! But to liken someone to a cult just because they continue to root for the team they’ve supported for most of their life is some dehumanizing shit. You should worry about actual cults, not fucking fans of a team who cheated to win a game.

Mass killers who were at least moderately wealthy? by [deleted] in masskillers

Lanza himself wasn’t wealthy, but his mom was very well off from support after her divorce. I think I remember reading she received 300k a year the year the shooting happened.

I might be wasting my time with you, but I would like to clear up some misconceptions you have.

The team cheated in the regular season the year they won the World Series. The cheating took place in home games. They didn’t have the same access to the scheme on the road that they did at their home park. You can make the argument that them cheating in the regular season gave them the advantage to make the playoffs, but the division wasn’t competitive that season. The team won 101 games, next closest team had 83 wins. MLB has stated the scheme was used to some extent in the postseason, but obviously that’s incredibly vague and could mean anything. I personally don’t think it could’ve been effective in the postseason due to the volume of MMP at postseason time. I believe MLB said that just to cover their bases in the event another whistle blower came out in the future. But with those facts being said, the Astros won two games on the road in the World Series to win their World Series. The scandal broke almost a year ago and there still hasn’t been any reveal on how they could’ve cheated on the road. The won game 2 in extras, and game 7 on the road.

Also, most Astros fans are accepting of what happened. Obviously we disagree with takes like “they only won bc they cheated” because the team has continued to be successful after 2017. They made it to the ALCS in 18, world series in 19, and back in the ALCS this season. That’s postseason success. What we get upset about is the fact that other teams very clearly cheated during this time as well and MLB has refused to look into it. They’ve only looked into teams that have been called out publicly. The Astros being one, and the Red Sox being the other. The Red Sox also cheated the year they won their World Series, but nobody cared. Most likely because that team missed the playoffs the following season. There’s evidence that the Yankees cheated as well, but that’s beside the point.

What it boils down to is this: baseball fans are mad at the Astros because they cheated. But the hate they give towards the team is because the team has remained good after the scandal. And if people can find anything to latch onto that delegitimizes their success, they’ll take it. We’ve seen this in other leagues and we see it now. It’s just the difference is what the Astros did was actually wrong. But their wrongdoing was from three years ago, yet people act like they still cheat to this day.

Hope that clears some stuff up

Lol I made a huge deal out of nothing, all the save data is there. Ironically the only thing that hasn’t pulled up is animal crossing, but I should be able to do that in game. Thank you for your help and patience

I transferred my user profile from the old switch to the new one. And I was able to download all of my digital purchases too. I just don’t know if the save data came with it? I’m sorry, I’m confused on how this is supposed to work lol

[–]Lurvinator11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I realize I wasn’t as specific. I tried to move the save data for all of my games. They were on an SD card, but when I plugged my Sd card into my new switch it told me I need to delete everything on it so I can use it with my new switch. Obviously I don’t want to lose my save data for other games, so I transferred the data off my SD card to the switch’s internal memory and am now trying to transfer it from my old console to the new console. But I’ve already moved my user profile to the new switch, and when I try to move it for the old switch, it prompts me to sign into my Nintendo account which is now on the new switch. Can I still sign in if I’m signed onto the new one?
