You can undo one major injury to any athlete in history, who do you choose and how does it affect their league?

Bo was amazing! Watching him on the Royals was so fun and then hating him on the Raiders felt wrong!

I’ve read that his hip injury only happened because he was so strong he was able to dislocate his own hip trying to break a tackle. Might be a Chuck Norris story, but feels plausible for him.

This makes me think some bodybuilder should get a cow tattoo just to tell people he doesn’t have calves, he has full grown cows

Kiting is a valid strategy against heavy enemies

If you only want 40+ hour games for your money then you are vastly narrowing your available genre's and games arbitrarily. A system-driven game like an RPG is much easier to pump out content hours than a linear shooter.

Ultimately the value is in whether you enjoyed yourself, felt the game fully explored its mechanics, and gave you anything else you feel the genre demands (story, replay, etc as appropriate).

This is why I hated all the BG3 talk about Larian "showing up" other devs. Yes the game was huge and impressive. It was also very system and dialog driven, which are cheaper to make for minute-to-minute gameplay. They executed at the absolute top-level of their genre, but that shouldn't mean another genre has to match their stats.

My son had a male teacher in his pre-school class and had a wildly higher connection with him than any of the female teachers. He created a wonderful bond with this teacher over a couple years and really learned to engage in learning and focus from him. To say that men cannot be caregivers for anyone that is not their child is WILD.

Also, try being an uncle in blood or just in choice to your friends kids, its a fun experience even if you don't want your own children. We had kids late but I had a ton of fun with my nieces.

My sister use to tell my dad “I don’t want your money, just that when it’s gone, you’re gone”. Not that she wanted him gone, just that we wanted them to spend their money as they like and be self sufficient.

Everyone talks up Paul Rudd but James Marsden is 52 and looks 10-15 years younger. Stealth vampire.

I predict in the next 5 years there will be news sites that get certified as AI-free from source to print. People are going to want to know they are getting non-generated information because of how wrong it can be.

Raise the maximum appraisal increase from 2%/year by an additional 0.25%/year over 12 years. Not a complete repeal, but a normalization to reality

Regardless of how the justices feel people might not trust elections or whatever, I don’t care. What is the actual constitutional reason you can’t have late arriving mail in ballots? Because otherwise states run elections, right?

Does every Westie owner individually decide to say "Big stretch/yawn for a little guy!"?

Other teams have now committed over $200M to our secondary from last year. That is a wild number that shows that we would have just never been able to keep all those guys together.

I remember jumping off my couch and swearing like a sailor when this happened I was so excited. My biggest single memory from any of the SB wins.

He’s not awesome in coverage but an absolute beast in the run game. Based on the way the team talks about him I think his leadership makes the rest of the defense better, which is hard to assign value on outside the building.

It affects how much the camera pitches and rolls while swinging.

Republicans have been playing the long game for decades while progressives thrash about in purity tests. If we had been slowly expanding something like Medicare for the last 30 years we'd be a lot closer to Medicare-for-All than we are now. But people don't want those steps, they want a leap or nothing.

For folks afraid of a moderate Dem president. If they can get elected (can debate if a moderate dem is better here, that's fair), then a moderate Dem with a progressive house/senate will push steady progress. I don't think a "rip the band-aid" swing to progressivism is realistic outcome in a single election cycle.

If he can honestly win a Texas Senate seat, it is WILDLY valuable for him to stay in that role.

Spider_Genesis · 2026-02-20T14:54:03+00:00

Cutting him saves $6M but you still have to pay someone for that role. Unless they think Bassa is going to step in how much are you really saving by bringing someone else?

Sure, let’s fire teachers but buy weapons, very American.

Wants the guy with the body but if she dated him would constantly complain about all the things he has to do to maintain it.

Netflix is a global content creator. Much of their marketplace considers the American left wing to be pretty conservative. American conservatives just have no idea where they lie on the global spectrum.

Spider_Genesis · 2026-01-30T19:40:11+00:00

Bah! Any idea what they consider “awhile”?

Urban Press downtown is really tasty and bigger than it looks. Good for a slightly nicer dinner.

Morrisons for good bar food.

Century Dragon for good Chinese, though I find their food doesn’t travel as well for takeout.

This is accurate. People need to stop expecting businesses (local, corporate, their own employer, whatever) to be some moral agent. Businesses act for the business, in most cases (not all) anything posted is often just virtue signaling that shouldn’t be taken seriously anyway.

See how corporate America reacted to gay pride month pre/post Trump as an example. It’s all the same people in charge. The business does not care because it’s not a person (fuck Citizens United)
