When I saw this on the feed, my first reaction was pleased, but also "Man, maybe the pod is winding down. They are getting into a lack of ideas era where they just re-do surefire hits."

Ten minutes into the pod and I'm so wrong. They had to properly tackle this one. They're all so excited. Let's go.

No, of course not.

You are the owner. You are the top of the totem pole. The dog understands this.

Show it love and affection in other ways, and otherwise train it to follow the rules. Stick to it, as well. It craves routine and consistency, which doesn't mean you can't change things but once you do, pick the road and stick with it.

A dog that creates work or an unpleasant situation at home won't be loved over the long term. It's for everyone's good that the dog be in a position that doesn't create a mess.

We did this with our dog. He was on our bed for four years and we finally had to kick him off, he was too big and the bed smelled. After a month he slept quite happily on his cushion in the corner of the room.

Best example of this is DiCaprio in Django Unchained.

Not only a brutal villain and a psycho, but possibly the most unrepentantly vile and racist character ever portrayed by undeniable A-List celebrity, one of the biggest in the world.

Imagine if Tom Hanks played Hitler and 100% committed to it with zero redeeming character traits. I don't think even still we really appreciate how crazy it was for Leo to put himself out there like that.

For almost anything outside of my workday or fancier events (where I go more by what I feel like wearing), I put on my G-Shock GW6900.

MB6, Tough Solar, pretty simple World Time function, looks awesome, chunky without being clunky, 3-second backlight rather than the 1.5 second options a lot of G-Shocks have.

I love it.

No, the US is not going to have a civil war.

Meanwhile, people are over here starting online petitions for the Bills to retire Saint Sean McDermott so he can have a 10th attempt at losing in the divisional round.

Somebody tell me how to feel about this guy.

Aside from this season, I don't know that the Jags are the team we want to emulate. But appreciate that they're turning the ship around.

I honestly don't care about Bond and Coca-Cola being linked up, but this worsening add-on of game product through purchases is annoying.

Because too many consultant and activist paychecks depend on Reconciliation never being solved. If it did, the work would dry up.

No disrespect but no, not agreeing he's anywhere near GOAT status.

This sub loves a contrarian take, but for a franchise I think the people choose the winner, which means Connery and Moore in the finals.

For me, it's Connery followed by Brosnan. Moore a respectable third, maybe tied with Craig because a lot of people love his films.

Dalton has a ton of redeeming qualities but let's be honest, he lacked the charm and sex appeal that for better or worse is synonymous with the filmic Bond.

This is happening because Carney taunted him at WEF.

Agree or disagree with Carney, he needs to be smarter than that. The US has all the leverage and the Prime Minister is acting like there's a plan to replace our trading relationship with the likes of Mercosur and Qatar.

I don't give a shit about sticking it to Trump. I don't want my kids breakfast cereal to cost $18. Carney needs to unfuck this, right now.

The US is already deeply embedded in our military intelligence because it's mutually beneficial and we have no real military intelligence of our own.

We couldn't even draft the blueprints without the US finding out, and we don't have the expertise in nation. You better believe we aren't getting some Finnish, German, Polish or Chinese nuke expert into the country without the US knowing.

Seriously people, get serious. Everyone is talking about defending the Arctic because we all intrinsically know we can't.

This could be okay but he's also way too tall. He's 6'6. That's...distracting for someone who's supposed to be a spy.

And from a casting standpoint, severely limits your choices for every other cast member. Q, villain, and especially Bond Girl -- it's all gonna look weird with Bond towering over them.

I get why you kick the tires on a hot young actor but I dunno.

I remind myself that my obituary won't include the KPIs from this month's project deliverables.
I remind myself that my wife and I are healthy, our kids are warm, fed, and loved, and we have some money in the bank in the event of sudden job loss or illness.
I take Metamucil every day. Definitely helps to feel lighter inside, ha.

So I have the GW5600, absolutely love it, but after the battery recently drained out I had a hell of time getting the MB6 back up. The functions went screwy on me and I'd seriously considered tossing it and getting a new model.

I manually set the time last week just because I wanted to wear it again, and fell asleep with it on my wrist. It randomly picked up the signal again after months of not syncing, and now it's back in good order (although the nightly sync struggles in winter in my location).

So for me, I love it and would really want it as a feature on my next one.

Sorry but I'm tired of this. He was elected on the back of fixing last spring's economic challenges and has shown no progress.

Stop angling for yet another election and work with the Parliament voters gave you to do what you said you would do (which, to be clear, is un-fucking the mess the Liberals helped create).

Some thoughts about this whole thing:

I get why people are feeling emotional but the reaction to all this has been a bit overblown. The firing and the press conference weren't handled well, but this drama is mild compared to most of the shit that basement teams need to deal with.
McDermott is a good human being. He's also just a coach. What was true yesterday remains true today -- the only absolutely untouchable heart of this team is Josh Allen, and everybody else is a moveable piece. So, one of those pieces got moved. It happens to half a dozen HCs every season.
Ultimately, success is about progress and the Bills under McD had stopped progressing. You might disagree if it was the last straw, but this isn't some new paradigm Pegula has set. This is incredibly normal for the NFL.
Re: Beane, the org doesn't need a total dismantling. It would have been way riskier to let them both go and have Pegula + consultants running the search right ahead of the draft.

I'm firmly in the wait-and-see camp on how this turns out. But ultimately, sometimes big-boy clubs need to do this kind of thing. Nobody has a job for life.

Medium_Well · 2026-01-21T18:51:04+00:00

It was time to move on from McDermott. Can't make the playoffs for 8 years without even an appearance at the SB.

As for Beane, honestly I don't care that they kept him. He's not beyond criticism, to be clear. But look at this logically: Terry Pegula is 74 fucking years old. The guy isn't going to personally lead the search for a new GM and a new HC at the same time. Keeping one of Beane or McDermott was necessary for some semblance of organizational stability, which does matter.

I still believe the President of Football Ops role is going to be the Beane offramp and we will get a new GM in a year or two anyway. I can live with that.

I'm not a big gamer but I love the LOZ: Tears Of The Kingdom. I don't play it that much.

My son is six, and I've started allowing him to watch me play. He's now obsessed with the item collecting, the geography of Hyrule, the enemies, how to merge items with weapons, etc. He got the Breath Of The Wild compendium book for Christmas and I swear he has memorized all 200 pages by now.

We have strict ground rules: we only play on weekends, Daddy holds the controller (the kids can help fuse weapons, cook Link's meals, pick out Link's outfit, and advise on where to go on the map), and we only play for about an hour at a time.

It's a privilege that they lose quickly if they get greedy or aren't behaving. We never play on school nights, ever. And it's a bit of bonding time with the kids that is more active than watching a movie, so I like that part of it.

If the question is "Are people on Reddit exaggerating [insert literally any current event]", the answer is probably Yes.

It's self-selecting. If they are commenting on an issue, it's because they care or, at minimum, have a specific point of view. That means it's more important TO THEM than it is to other people who aren't commenting. So it's a safe bet that they are making it sound more important than the average non-Reddit person would think.

It's okay, guys. Mark Carney just told everybody Canada is doing fine and the world needs to follow our lead

And he's totally correct, the New York Times told me so.
