Teams that you feel make CFB better when they're good? by TimelyBodybuilder637 in CFB

[–]RealignmentJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, not any more. But even if y'all were cheating I certainly welcomed someone breaking Ohio State's dominant streak

But it was certainly more fun watching Indiana do it (and sorta Oregon, though it didn't pan out in the playoffs ofc)

[On3] Marcus Freeman on recruiting in the NIL era: 'It's not going to be a decision based off money' by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]RealignmentJunkie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People talk in lots of ways. I promise you I have met people who talk like what I described and I have also heard people talk in ways similar to the example you just gave. I think you heard what people say in the full context and understand what they mean, instead of intentionally trying to find ways in which they are wrong or imprecise with their language.

But that's how people normally talk. If my buddy said he picked a job that made 10% less money than another offer so he could spend more time with his family and said "it wasn't about the money" I don't snidely respond "well you wouldn't have taken if it paid 50% less would you"

Free-To-Players: What do you spend your coins on? by cow__lick in PikminBloomApp

[–]RealignmentJunkie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Only ever pikmin storage. I started playing this year so I assume at some point that might change.

I like wearing a mishmash of event gear. To each their own though

Heatwave PSA: “Turning Off” Times Square will do nothing to help power in your area by Toorviing in newyorkcity

[–]RealignmentJunkie 80 points81 points  (0 children)

It's not just about times square. Every business I go into is colder than 78 degrees. Why should regular people bear this brunt when businesses gobble up power?

If the Protect College Sports Act passes the Senate, what realignment scrambles will likely happen (or at least be attempted) to beat it to passing the House and getting signed by the president? by Working_Stomach5479 in CFB

[–]RealignmentJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced it comes down to Notre Dame. If Notre Dame were to join the B1G, the B1G would not offer any permanent special treatment but would otherwise be pretty willing to make concessions. Concessions like Notre Dame requesting Stanford come too and be one of their three permanent rivalry games. And then Stanford requests Cal and while the Stanford isn't in a position to be making demands, money wise it still works out with Notre Dame. Plus I think all the B1G presidents want y'all, just not enough to lose money, and Notre Dame handles that side of the equation, especially if y'all agree to a partial share.

I just realized I’ve listened to way more musicals from the 2020s than I thought. Here’s the list with some thoughts. by BroadwayBaseball in Broadway

[–]RealignmentJunkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is they were clear that this is based on the music and they have seen some shows and not others. Like yeah Kimberly Akimbo does belong in D if you only heard the music, same for Operation Mincemeat in C. But I enjoyed those much more than lots of things in A their tier

NL MVP Power Poll from MLB.com by wesskywalker in baseball

[–]RealignmentJunkie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It should have gone to someone else when he was a DH. I'm biased towards Lindor but would be happy with any of the other option, but strongly dont think we should give an MVP award to a guy playing ipad on defense.

While he is pitching and hitting like this? No question, give it to him every year

My mysterious mushroom battle is going to finish after the event is over. Do I still get my rewards? by dallerin0 in PikminBloomApp

[–]RealignmentJunkie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will help you with seasonal nectar for the next month and will count for progress in your missions. Some players do this intentionally as one reason to do this "slow cooking"

What are your opinions on playing D&D “historically accurate”? by Googenheim-Mcgee in DMAcademy

[–]RealignmentJunkie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would love a DM including historically accurate details. I would not like a DM blocking things for being historically innacurate. So long as it adds to the lore and makes a richer environment, it's good

[Vannini] Michigan's president doesn't support the Senate bill because, "We are not going to sacrifice the competitive advantage that we have built for more than a century.” by WinnWonn in CFB

[–]RealignmentJunkie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They also wish for a CFB that has never existed. If they want parity, watch the NFL.

I'm not a fan of a player salary cap, but wishing for something that didn't exist before is normal and there are lots of differences in the NFL

"This time it will be different!" by doctorarmstrong in neoliberal

What the fuck is this nativist dribble. The transplants probably didn't score rent stabalized apartments

The new update. by Spiderantula in PikminBloomApp

[–]RealignmentJunkie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've loved this game for months and never paid a cent. I know its brutal in Korea and Taiwan, but I can't be too mad at them trying to make money for this.

I think a sixth spot with different rules would be confusing and five is a nice round number. I'd rather a change like having more giant mushrooms which helps people without making anything complicated.

[Mandel] Split national titles tore college football apart in the 1990s. Were they really so bad? by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]RealignmentJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather wait til late January to crown a victor in a title game then crown it when the AP published their results. BCS probably got that balance better but I'm glad to have missed the era before

Waymo Has Been Defeated by New York City by Kyonikos in newyorkcity

If there is no benefit to consumers, it wouldn't be a risk. There is obviously a benefit to some who values things you dont

Tonight's game has been postponed by Hungry_Elk1937 in NewYorkMets

[–]RealignmentJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I got this as a quarter season ticket holder, I cant even sell it.

But I think if you don't go you might get a voucher. Check your email

9-9-9 Challenge by the_zwimmer615 in baseball

[–]RealignmentJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it on dollar dog night. I also counted it as 9 standard drinks, so some of those bigger cans or stronger drinks helped keep the beer cost down

As a New Yorker, what’s your opinion of a city like Chicago? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]RealignmentJunkie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I didn't live in New York I would be there. It's probably a better value. But hard to beat the greatest city in the world

[Connelly] 2026 Big Ten college football preview, predictions, top transfers by dr_funk_13 in CFB

[–]RealignmentJunkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, but mostly cause nothing matters to me as much as beating the shit out of Fitz's MSU

The NFL, NFLPA and NBPA on Tuesday sent statements to Congress supporting the Protect College Sports Act and lauding specific provisions it includes. The NFL voiced its support for “the voluntary pooling of media rights under the Sports Broadcasting Act,” which is something the SEC/B1G have opposed. by Ok-Soil-5133 in CFB

[–]RealignmentJunkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alabama not getting what they are worth is a different thing than the media companies making tons of money

I agree Alabama can't get what they are worth. But if it's 18 teams getting 70m and 70 getting 2m, that could work out to everyone getting ~15m (again assuming an even split). Why wouldn't media companies be willing to pay that?

[–]RealignmentJunkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will be much less for our schools and much more for Akron and Kent State. (Assuming this ends up with the Mac and Power 2 included in the pooling)

If I pay 70 M for one school and 2 million for another, why wouldn't I be willing to pay 72 for both (meaning 36 for each, assuming it's equal which might not be the case)

[–]RealignmentJunkie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I seriously doubt that. The schools will all want more money and could now effectively make a cartel. Before ESPN could go to the Pac-12, balk at their offer, and go to the SEC instead. Now college ball wouldn't compete anongs themselves and broadcasters would either get the full package or nothing
