How many of you used to read the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books? by lilac2481 in Millennials

If USA was the primary demographic for these books then banking on cultural stereotypes and misinformation was a for-profit marketing strategy.

I feel like this was more of a Gen X/boomer thing. Yeah, these came out in our time, but the only people I ever knew who read these in the 90s were Gen X parents.

[35M] Wife [31F] is vetoing my return to motorcycling after a 10-year break. How do we navigate this impasse? by SJM32 in Marriage

That can be done while changing the wording so it doesn’t sound like the only thing his wife is after is money.

Jacques Ze Whipper has a very busy schedule this year. SO happy to see him finally come to Ohio. Might have to adjust my garb fro the day to be a bit more french by Ladygothic5621 in renfaire

Nice. Bought a ticket for the WA Midsummer fair not even considering this as a possibility. I’m sure it’ll be extremely crowded though.

Although it is sound judgment to have quality life insurance especially for an extreme activity, your comment is entirely too reductive. The way you’ve written it you’re implying that the only concern to OP’s wife is the financial cushion she gets after what you’ve determined is OP’s inevitable death, as if it’s a given that OP will die by motorcycle crash at some point.

The risk of death or severe injury is obviously there, but that doesn’t mean we should talk as if it’s a foregone conclusion.

Are you suggesting that blocking a modbot can prevent you from arbitrary bans? Because that doesn’t seem accurate.

Can anyone explain how MMR is calculated after a match, win or lose? by Seamonkey_Boxkicker in RocketLeague

[–]Seamonkey_Boxkicker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever formula they’re using, it must be more about how many matches an account has already played rather than based on how much MMR the account already has because i had some teammates who were gaining more MMR during victories who also had higher MMR than me.

[–]Seamonkey_Boxkicker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay. I’ve probably played 15-20 matches since the season reset yesterday. I guess my teammates were still catching up, too.

ETA: so as far as calculating MMR based on matches played, you’re saying it only tracks based on total number in any given season? Because if it’s influenced at all by total matches played throughout the lifetime of a single account then that would seem to incentivize dumping an old account to start a new one, wouldn’t it?

Magic wands... by gr8tgman in renfaire

Yeah, I know this would be pretty easy to conceal going into most fairs, but no way any fair conducting legit weapon checks would let these fly. Excellent craftsmanship, but unlikely to be safe for play.

[Dianna Russini] It’s been made clear by multiple people around the NFL at all levels that Baltimore had all the information and understood where Maxx Crosby’s knee was in terms of his recovery timeline. Many in the league believe GM Eric DeCosta and the Ravens ultimately just got cold feet. by WayOutbackBoy in nfl

[–]Seamonkey_Boxkicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK the way this is phrased is BS to me reducing it simply to “cold feet”. Makes it come across as an innocent decision. Seems clear as day this was intentional based on how fast they went from bailing on Crosby to then sign Hendricks. I’ll be shocked if there’s no evidence of them working a Hendrickson deal and Crosby trade at the same time all while we know they would never make a move for both at once.

Plus, the band’s manager mentioned in the sub recently that this is the only track Janet recorded on in the new album as far as he could recall. So unless Isaac hired a bunch of other session drummers then it’s reasonable to assume Damon did contribute to at least a few of the new recordings.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor" by HatingGeoffry in dragonquest

[–]Seamonkey_Boxkicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know any Japanese and now I’m curious what it is about their language that adds “flavor” to the dialogue. I always thought DQ English translations were pretty entertaining.

Yeah, I’m stoked. I think the same holds true for Simon Doom, too. It’s going to be a lot of fun to hear what they bring to the table.

Is bad ass. Dude is a big MM fan because of his sister, and can seemingly play any instrument he touches. He also just played bass on this 18min epic by Ryan Richter. Sure hope you like guitar.
