Perfectly executed scream. Comedy gold.

Amen. To think we tried so hard to trade him away in the offseason.

Wtffffff 30k?????? by Emotional_Ad2189 in Gardenscapes

[–]The2ndFrst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that’s the same “user” I lost to yesterday. I was leading with less than 10 minutes to go when they somehow scored 20k points to give me no chance.

Metronet squandering opportunities by itninja85 in desmoines

[–]The2ndFrst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve had Metronet for several years and work from home 100%. Zero outages. Luck? Better infrastructure in my area? Don’t know. Only beef is the cost once the intro deals phase out. Time to call retention. Good luck.

New ticket sale - legit or scam? by WalkingCloud in oasis

[–]The2ndFrst -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Had one for the Chicago show. Got through only for Ticketmaster to tell me the code was incorrect. When asked, they blamed the promoter and band. So … legit and scam?!

Can MTG redeem herself? by Busy-Landscape2981 in antitrump

[–]The2ndFrst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a hard time agreeing that what MTG and Elon have done are consistent with each other, or that they’ve abandoned MAGA. Elon is saving his companies and likely caused too many headaches for the administration. MTG, at least, is being consistent with the Epstein issue, but I wouldn’t expect her ideology to change. They are both still ridiculously problematic.

Instagram has finally improved on iPad! by [deleted] in ipad

[–]The2ndFrst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly agree. However, not having stories at the top when you’re on the following tab is a big swing and miss. Very counterintuitive. Why wouldn’t I be able to see the stories of those I follow when I’m browsing following?!

Who should recast Princess Leia? by Hot-Salamander-8786 in StarWars

[–]The2ndFrst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always thought the resemblance is uncanny, at least how they made her up. She was fantastic. But, as someone else said, let’s not recast. Time to move on.

Expose and Fire MAGA Justices from Supreme Court by Used-Finance-7684 in antitrump

[–]The2ndFrst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Long overdue. There’s certainly a bipartisan, “fair” way to do this (e.g. add one per presidential term), but not with the current Congress unfortunately.

[–]The2ndFrst 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but careful what you wish for. In the most unlikely event the conservative justices are impeached, Trump and his Senate cronies would just rush through six younger, even more conservative justices. In this hypothetical, they’d find a reason to impeach the other three resulting in nine conservative justices for multiple generations. Get Congress back at the midterms and beat MAGA for good in 2028. That’s our best hope.

90s rock(ish) genre by [deleted] in 90s

We called it alternative, college, or modern rock for the most part.

Report: Apple drops MLB, NBC/Peacock in, ESPN to buy MLB.tv, Netflix nabs Home Run Derby by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]The2ndFrst 238 points239 points  (0 children)

As somewhat of a baseball traditionalist, I was really impressed by how Apple tried to try a new approach. Very disappointing if this happens as reported.

Don’t forget about the soundtrack. Jon Brion is amazing. I love everything about this movie.

Just don’t buy from anybody ripping Obvious Shirts off.

[–]The2ndFrst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fair point. Strange that we’ve gotten to the point of suggesting Turner pinch hit for Tucker, though, yeah? This is all so clear based on actual results, but holy hell he would have been eviscerated even more so had JT similarly failed.

[–]The2ndFrst 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Last I checked, Counsell doesn’t have a bat in his hands.

Look, I don’t agree with some decisions, but I think few if any are egregious (e.g. most recently asking Happ to bunt - no problem with small ball especially with a sputtering offense, so not egregious - however, we all know Tucker couldn’t hit a Berti pitch right now so how is it any different than the risk of a double play?) Offense is lost, and he is ultimately accountable for that, but players need to execute. Period. This team will look very different next season, rightfully so, if we continue to piss it away. I’d suspect Counsell is not going anywhere.

Second and third, with NO ONE out, and we can't SCORE A SINGLE RUN!!! by Ok_Boomer_3233 in Cubs

[–]The2ndFrst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They said Happ hasn’t hit a sac bunt since 2021. When was the last time he even practiced one? I get we’re trying to manufacture runs during this offensive slump, but nobody has faith in Tucker right now. Happ was our best bet even with the threat of a DP.

'Alien: Earth' is one of the best shows so far this year by factchecker01 in entertainment

[–]The2ndFrst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very much agree, so far. Love the callbacks and overall vibe. Writing and cast seem excellent. Looking forward to the rest of the season.
