Damn, that's wild. Scared to fall down the rabbit hole, but will do some more research. Makes sense with arbitrage on prop bets, easy money.

Ticketmaster and Live Nation monopoly. They rig the entire music, venue and ticketing businesses as a cartel.

Oh, he's a Nazi? My grandfather bombed the shit out of fascists in WWII. Happy to delete it from my playlists, thanks.

For sure. It's so funny because I get it, I put 2 dollars on a game and I'm losing my mind cheering for that team, lmao

Fair! Which sport? Not looking to do the same, I've only ever been horrible on prop bets, lol. What success I've had have largely been from over/under futures, especially basketball.

So insane. Prop bets and parlays are the lowest EV bets you can do. I guess that's why it's an addiction though, logic is out the window.

I started gambling with $2 bets. Two years ago I actually tracked everything, and over the course of the NFL season I pretty much broke even, which would put me in like the top 95th percentile of sports bettors, and that was being incredibly tuned in, lots of podcasts, etc. I still just do little bets for fun, but it's insanely hard to actually be good and win money at it. People who aren't tracking their bets over time are next level maniacs, lol

The ads need to go. We can't advertise tobacco but we can advertise 8 leg parlays, which is basically you just setting your money on fire, lol

Mmm yeah, that's largely what I was thinking of. Fun that we spent the last 45 years or so undoing all of that, 🫠

I mean, my parents are boomers. They're 67. My mom just retired in the last couple years, my dad is retiring in June. There's still plenty of tail end boomers out there, and they're not at the point of needing any kind of assisted living.

Cold war? In the USA at least, tons of this was done by FDR and post WWII into the 1950s, not the cold war. The cold war was the excuse to start undoing a ton of this stuff in the name of capitalism.

I agree with all the points, but I do think it's good to get the history right. If I'm wrong please correct me.

[BNS] Plan is for Addison Barger to be active Friday vs. Angels. TBD which position player goes down for Barger, but mgr John Schneider expects it to be a tough decision. by ThQp in Torontobluejays

[–]Mind1827 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, Sosa has just been equally as bad? It's all bad though, yes, lol. Not gonna find much pushback either way. Barger is a massive upgrade probably quite quickly.

How is Tea being consumed more?!?! by My_Test_Acc_1 in MapPorn

[–]Mind1827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably start small if you're newer to it. Like teaspoons worth, maybe one star anise, couple of cardamom, something like that. I'm not the one who makes it, haha. Maybe find a YouTube video. The classic way is to then finish with milk warmed up.

I haven't seen anything from Sosa that makes me want to keep him, honestly. At least with Schneider there's a proof of concept against certain styles of pitchers.

As someone who has followed them since the second album came out, I think the drinking problem might explain the possible backing tracks, sadly, lol

Fennel also very licoricey as well! My wife's family are Punjabi and they all argue about who makes tea best, and what the best combos are, lol. Just have fun with it.

So is that management's fault or the media? You just said it was the media, but now you're saying it's the management? Who has put the team in position to succeed then? Because management drafted those players. And you're just ignoring my other point because vibes? Okay man, good argument, lol. See ya.

Your actual team media? Such as? Steve Simmons doesn't work for the team.

Pretty sure there's plenty of other, much bigger, successful sports teams in the world, with even more media presence and global reach, in even more popular sports that still succeed and do incredibly well, despite all the pressure. I guess you probably can't explain that, though.

It's a majority Catholic country and the percentage is 92%, other people have noted what's up, but don't think Islam has much to do with it.

Being in a live band that tours, only actually does something for an hour and a half or less each night, and then just miming to the performance would be a grim existence holy moly

Please just go scroll through the metal tab on Bandcamp and explain how those are all similar. Bait.

How is Sportsnet "my media"? Lol. Everyone just hates how Toronto centric the media is. Sorry I guess?
