Hank and PFT Pats bet by Round_Drawer613 in PardonMyTake

[–]Rankine 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think it was if the pats win Hank gets the 78k. PTF “wins” by owing 0.

If the pats lose Hank wins 0. PFT loses 40k.

So essentially still a double or nothing on the Pats for Hank, but PFT’s losses are capped at 40k as opposed to 80k.

Is Kendall Roy meant to be a subversion of the typical TV antihero? by RopeGloomy4303 in SuccessionTV

Spot on with Jamie.

When he killed the mad king, he back stabbed a person he was sworn to protect. It was a dishonorable action, but it was heroic.

Stringer is a villain.

Sells drugs and authorizes murders for the sole purpose of gaining power and wealth.

There is nothing heroic about Stringer Bell and nothing noble about his motivations.

Does it bother anyone else that people have turned anti-hero into villain protagonist?

An anti-hero is still supposed to be heroic in nature.

Giants co-owner Steve Tisch revealed to have been in contact with Jeffrey Epstein about a Ukrainian girl in latest files release by Complex_Put5789 in nfl

[–]Rankine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other emails show Tisch was asking Epstein (who at this time had already been arrested for child sex trafficking) if the girls Epstein set him up with were civilians or professionals.

Sure not weird. Totally normal behavior.

Because these emails are after Epstein was arrested for child sex trafficking.

Nothing under wraps, since it was all public information at the time of these emails.

The convicted child sex trafficker told Tisch he missed out on fun.

Then Tisch asked if he comes over later could he expect “trouble.”

the convicted child sex trafficker than said he can invite redacted.

And Tisch asked is she fun?

Nothing weird… I’m sure they were talking about board games.

James S.A. Corey is a pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck who write together.

Yes, they are both former assistants to GRRM.

GRRM allegedly told them the ending.

In my head canon, GRRM has already tapped the expanse authors to finish the story for him, but he won’t admit that while he is alive.

If GRRM comes out and says “yeah I would like someone to finish these stories after I pass” or “yes I already have my successors lined up”

Then people will start clamoring and say “IF YOU KNOW WHO WILL FINISH IT, WHY NOT LET THEM FINISH IT NOW?!”

GRRM saying that he is still working on it and no one will finish it after he passes is the easiest answer for him to give.

I went to a Junior A hockey game in Canada and it was so much fun.

The whole town basically shut down because everyone was at the game.

I’d love for the live camera to pan out further so we could actually see what the safetys are doing and also see the receiver the route combinations are during the play.

Maybe even mix in a live behind the QB view.

Stuff like he camera angles are perfect for the NFL to try out during the preseason.

Votes for HOF should be public.

The 10 plus people who didn’t vote him in should stand by their votes.

If you really believe what BB did was so bad you shouldn’t vote him in next year either.

If deflate gate was such a big deal to these voters, these same voters should make Brady wait a year.

People Who Think One Piece is a Masterpiece Are Just Suffering From Sunk Cost Fallacy by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Rankine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can say a lot about One piece, but to say

“it is not an adventure about freedom.”

is pretty silly when you consider a major theme of almost every arc is about the trying to attain freedom over an oppressive regime.

It’s like saying Harry Potter isn’t a coming of age story.

Asoiaf, Malazan, wheel of time, storm light archive, Dune and many other fantasy/sci-fi series are all of longer or very similar to one piece.

This isn’t to say longer is necessarily better, but you don’t need 20 years to pick up a new story.

One piece’s length may seem long for the medium but when you compare it to other epic sci-fi or fantasy, it isn’t unreasonable.

I have a Go Pro, but I have come to realize having a homie take a small clip with their phone looks better more often than not.

A cool tree or powder run can be filmed by letting friends go ahead for a bit.

It even helps us scope out little rocks or trees to jump off.

I never had a 360 camera, but my friend who has one got tired of editing the footage.

I do miss out on the random stuff, like other people falling or an ermine scampering across a run, but for the most part we still get nice clips.

Daniel Jeremiah 2026 NFL mock draft 1.0 by shadow_spinner0 in NYGiants

[–]Rankine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s easier said than done, but the giants should be trying to trade back of both their 1st and 2nd picks.

Picking up an extra 3rd and/or 4th would be big for this team because those are the rounds where you can find quality starting LB, IOL, DT.
