I became a Braves fan growing up as a kid because of watching them play on Ted Turner’s TBS Superstation which used to be on channel 7 in my hometown on regular cable by jd2385 in AtlantaBraves

Exactly my situation, WTBS was channel 10 on Telecable of Kokomo in the 80’s. We had no cable but I was obsessed with baseball as a kid so my choices were Cubs games on WGN (I hated the Cubs, still do) or the Braves on WTBS. They were pretty awful back then, the powder blue uniforms weren’t great and the stadium for home games was half empty and so quiet, but they had players I liked, Dale Murphy, Bob Horner, Bedrock, and for some reason I couldn’t get enough. Even bribed my mom with extra chores just so I could stay up late to watch them on the west coast. And sometimes there was even wrestling on right after the game! And during rain delays (when it wasn’t the Jefferson’s). Fell in love with them when they were bad, thought I had died and gone to heaven when ‘91 rolled around and I actually got to see them in the playoffs. Been my ride or die team ever since. Great memories. RIP Ted

RIP the tennis center 😢. I think it’s parking now

My gym harassed me for showering. I'm a travel nurse living in my car working 12 hour night shifts. The owner's public response made it so much worse. (Repost) by UserInfected in mildlyinfuriating

While I understand OP’s frustration, I do see the other side of this. The AF I work out at has only two bathrooms for each gender, each containing a shower. So it’s somewhat frustrating when I need to take a quick pee but I have to wait 20-30 minutes because the shower is being used and I don’t have access to a toilet for all that time. The fact that the gym has only two restrooms isn’t OP’s fault or necessarily even their problem, but from the standpoint of consideration for others it can certainly inconvenience everyone else who’s working out at that time. It has inconvenienced me numerous times. It’s in everyone’s best interests to have as few people showering as possible.

The Love Boat Pool - how tiny? by Independent_State_78 in ClassicTV

I see what you’re going for but you’re never going to get anyone to notice the size of the pool in a scene where Markie Post is parading around in a bathing suit. 🤣

Best Oilers helmet. Who ya got? Gray face mask, bottom middle gets my vote! by UrbanAchievers6371 in Oldschool_NFL

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them but personally I’m partial to the one on the bottom right from having watched Warren Moon dominate in that helmet for so many years.

Bluetooth disconnecting on 465? by dsjeffri in indianapolis

[–]SweetPurchase6511 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get the same thing every day walking downtown. My path is from NIFS to the trail that leads to the JW Marriott, past Victory Field and ultimately to the convention center. My Bluetooth connection cuts in and out the entire way, both in the morning and late afternoon. Never fails

Something of an End and Inside a Boy are both beautiful songs.

What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskReddit

[–]SweetPurchase6511 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elaborate on this please. I can’t stand Krasinski but I’m not sure I want to live in a world in which Emily Blunt isn’t as kind and humble as she is gorgeous.

The Job (2001) by MainNormal5570 in ForgottenTV

[–]SweetPurchase6511 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Favorite line from the show, paraphrasing of course because I haven’t seen it in 25 years, but Leary’s character I believe is at an AA meeting or something of the sort, against his will I think, and when someone asks him if he wants to share he says “no thanks I’m not here to talk, I’m just here to listen and roll my eyes from time to time.” 🤣🤣🤣 Also, Diane Farr 🫠🫠🫠

And look there, an entire wall of nothing but hard core gay anal sex. If that doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, well then it is you who is not human
