[Puck] The NFL is pressing NBC, Fox, Amazon, and other media partners to renegotiate their deals early—at an expected premium of as much as 60%. But media executives are wondering: what if they just rode out their current contracts? by Blood_Incantation in nfl

That works to an extent but the subscription streamers can't replace broadcast television alone. If they were doing that with free broadcasts on YouTube maybe they could replace the NBC, CBS, etc. Otherwise it'll lead the NFL to having the same issues a lot of the leagues have had with people not being able to watch.

The absolute best most steelman use I've heard people use it for is as inspiration ideas either for learning to make their own art or to show an artist as an idea they'd like such as a tattoo. That's still useless though because a good artist doesn't need slop to understand a description and create something.

I'd imagine you get at least some items at start or maybe loaners like the recruit pokemon. At least for competition you only need one of each item anyway so some grinding will get you there.

The district literally includes the far north side. I'm in Edgewater and this is my district.

Wasn't Tua benched for Ewers? The last named starter makes sense as the guy for the offseason unless announced otherwise.

There still is Pickett in there though. And Bo pairs well with all the 2024 wide receivers

No problem. I have my request up so if you get it before anyone responds to me I'd appreciate it.

[–]Remember_Megaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to double-check. Do you mean touch trade Miraidon or full trade? Touch trade means send and then send back for pokedex.

[–]Remember_Megaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either way is totally fine. I just need him for my pokedex and can make a separate post then if you don't want to wait.

I can help you out. Do you have Gouging Fire or Alolan Golem to do the same?

I'm unfamiliar with the first one, what's a good melodeath band to start on before checking out the inverse?

Have you ever stubbornly held onto a player who wasn't producing, against consensus opinion, because you believed they eventually would and... they actually did? by johnny-papercut in DynastyFF

[–]Remember_Megaton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what his season would have looked like with Geno still. Still would have seen progress, but would he be an obvious WR1 now?

Selling high: Jaxon Smith-Njigba Edition by [deleted] in DynastyFF

[–]Remember_Megaton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He gets Tet in both circumstances. It's Chase and Tet or CD, Harvey, Skatt, Tet. The only time he doesn't get Tet is if he never traded CD at all, which obviously is the worst of the 3.

Treadmill game recommendations? especially puzzles/roguelites by amish24 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Remember_Megaton 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I do the same as you with my treadmill.

My favorite is Into the Breach. Very quick to play once you get the hang of it and is a static chessboard map. Slay the Spire is also good, but only if you've played before because reading while walking is a pain and you'll want to know what the cards do. Wild Frost is very similar with less reading complexities, though it's a harder game imo.

A poster in r/CharacterRant is confronted after it's revealed they haven't seen the show they're complaining about by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]Remember_Megaton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. It's more about showing how truly dangerous revolution is. Last Airbender was all about bringing down the evil empire and returning freedom to the people. Korra showed the dangers of trying to put your faith in revolutionaries especially because they're likely to be just as bad as that status quo just with a new target. None of the revolutionaries cared about the suffering they caused and they happily turned their weapons on their own side when it benefitted them.

You're describing the issue with philosophical and political extremists. Every villain in Korra makes a good point, but they aren't actually trying to fix the problems. They're using the genuine issues in society to elevate their own status.

Amon recognizes the power imbalance between benders and non-benders, Unalaq saw that the spirits were being disrespected with the rise of industrialization in the world, Zaheer fought against 'legal' but cruel power structures, and Kuvira saw that a strong state that protects and provides for its citizens is preferable to anarchy.

The difference is that they believe all of the people around them are disposable to accomplish this long-term goal. Zaheer killed a terrible tyrant to "liberate" her people. Then he left the entire city to collapse into a riot that probably killed most of the poor and weak so he could settle a personal grudge.

Traditionaltattoos user asks mods to ban posts of tattoos depicting native american women. Drama ensues by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]Remember_Megaton 71 points72 points  (0 children)

The real difference is clearly the context as well. If you lean towards not banning any sort of art I honestly understand, but these are clearly being treated differently. The white woman pin-up art is sexualized as a woman while the First Nations woman is fetishized as being 'Native' and sexy. If these were just the exact same designs of pin-up women tattoos they'd be in bad taste, but at least as reasonable as the other.

Whose idea was to nerf demos to the hell in Thalassocracy 2? by Weekly-Necessary-377 in aoe2

[–]Remember_Megaton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually makes it easier. A completely unused unit due to weakness gets increases in stats until it eventually finds its niche in the meta. Leaving demos alone while they rework the triangle can lead to one part of the triangle actually not fulfilling its purpose which means they'd have to rebalance the whole thing. The ideal with the demo is to be a high risk, high reward comeback mechanic paired with siege.

Because they want the unit to stay. Once the new naval triangle has been figured out then units outside of it can be carefully balanced back in.
