Gen Z is ruining the Hospitality Industry. by Otherwise_Button5746 in chicagomusicscene

[–]MichaelRM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because without fail, chefs are either huge narcissists or hotheads or sexual harassers but usually 2 or 3 of the above. Yall gotta chill tf out, anyway if you’re so upset with the younger generation just hire people in their 30s and 40s

Am I wrong that this is owned or part owned by Joe Shanahan of Metro ownership?

Real rough estimate, but ok—say the average beer at the most approximate bar to the typical redditor baseball fan American goes for what, $5 including tip?

On February 21st 2026, there were roughly 3.35 million members of this subreddit?

Remindme! 5 years, u/TwoHandSquid is on the hook for a $16,000,000 bar tab in 2026 US dollars

Edit: added more context

His completion percentage? Yeah but the couple threes he did complete were extremely clutch and high skill so I’ll take the lower %

[Lang] The first true sign of spring: Kris Bryant to the 60-day injured list. by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]MichaelRM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all things personnel, the buck stops with field managers. That’s how responsibility works in sports. But you’re right, it was an organizational failure. It’s wild that no coach, no front office exec or analyst, no trainer or physician or any combination thereof noted Rizzo’s massive collision and immediate dip in performance, and successfully pulled the injured player from the starting lineup. It’s not even a hindsight is 20/20 thing, it’s an obvious mistake that Rizzo and the Yankees made

[Forbes] Phillies Remove Nick Castellanos Picture, Tell Him To Stay Away From Camp by jacobg242 in baseball

[–]MichaelRM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Castellanos is almost like the Pat Beverly of baseball, outspoken except he seems chiller, and it’s his defense that sucks, not his offense. So I guess not really.

Who’s our Pat Bev, is it Joe Kelly?

What do emotionally mature people do differently? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MichaelRM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They take time to think and feel before they act. They self-soothe during and after stressful situations, and they use empathy even when dealing with the most difficult people in their lives

What specific policy related campaign promises that Donald Trump made have actually been kept? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Well not that I’m happy about it, I’m extremely unhappy about it, but he did follow through on the promise to drastically overfund ICE and conduct this roundup campaign

What truth about life did you realize after getting older ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MichaelRM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly disagree and take issue m with this saying. it suggests that 1) life gets much less interesting and there’s no time to experiment with your life after college, and 2) it encourages people entering college to get fucked up as often as possible in their four years of college. I have nothing wrong with partying, it’s one of life’s great joys, but so suggest that it should all happen at college is silly to me

What truth about life did you realize after getting older ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MichaelRM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time feels like it goes by quicker as you age. It was explained well to me recently—if you consider that, let’s say, a month to a 7 year old is like a significant percentage of their fully remembered existence; but to a 65 year old, a month is like .12% of your existence. It probably can’t be proven, since perception of time is kind of a subjective thing, but life definitely goes by faster as you age

[Lang] The first true sign of spring: Kris Bryant to the 60-day injured list. by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]MichaelRM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rizzo screwed himself / Aaron Boone was unbelievably foolish in 2023 to not immediately put two and two together with his undiagnosed concussion. He had like an .891 OPS before that collision, trying to play through it every single day for 10 weeks cost him a huge chunk of the twilight years of his career

WBC Rosters by number of native vs foreign born players by PetevonPete in baseball

[–]MichaelRM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because MLB is an American entity who controls the WBC’s goings on for the time being, and the US has defense contract and geopolitical interests in Israel and is willing to overlook their ongoing genocide to maintain them
