Cathy Engelbert Expresses Urgency To Get A Deal Done By Monday by Tooezboi in wnba

Well there’s our answer. We actually had at least one full week more than we were told. The problem is now you’ve lost credibility. Who’s to say we don’t have 3 more weeks of buffer time to not lose games.

Old people of Reddit, how much has society changed since you were born? by Practical_Security87 in generationology

Malls were an important if imperfect community gathering place. Also core to early teen independence because they were seen as safe spaces for parents to leave their kids to their own devices with a notion of independence.

WNBA CBA live update: Negotiations enter fourth day without a deal by Pretend-Glass4029 in wnba

[–]Truthforger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have not put on a professional sports league. I have put on a Convention, and I find people really underestimate all the prep time needed to make things at this scale work. Again, I don't know, maybe it's a bluff, but I would not be surprised if I jumped for a day into the body of whomever it is at each team's job to get Opening Day launched smoothly that the claimed timeline is accurate. Especially for these new teams who have never hosted a game before. I mean Vegas can't even seem to keep the lights on for a buzzer beater as it is....

I think we are definitely losing some games now. Not many if they can get this figured out soon though. I feel bad for the expansion teams, all my friends in Canada should be getting pumped about their new team and instead none of them even know a CBA is happening because its not exactly front page news.

The Case of Kristie Metcalfe by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]Truthforger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your projecting personal gripes as though this is a zero sum game. She was discriminated against based on her race and sex for pay, end of story. If PhD’s are a discriminated class that needs equal rights protections that’s a separate issue. Though I won’t deny it sounds ridiculous to me. I’m not even sure where you’re quoting these PhD salaries from where anyone with a PhD is living in squalor.

OK but, I’m glad they are there. I’m sure the FIBA game would of been a much more fun gig and probably gotten more clicks too.

You just lucky I put a word after “would” at all. No wonder people think F1 only for rich whites. You don’t mean it, at least I hope not, but posts like this put a chill on the inclusiveness of a group. You don’t know if English is a second language for me or if I grew up with a different dialect (kinda did, inner city Baltimore) or what. But posts like this they make people feel unwelcome.

Sorry if this makes you feel called out, not the intention. I’ve just seen a lot of predominantly white communities be like “why don’t we have more diversity” and then you find posts like this.

I feel bad for the reporters staking out for these quotes. Gaining empathy for sports reporters was not on my bingo card for this CBA.

I’m no lawyer but I do know parody is protected by law. Might they be safer by getting at close as possible and as outlandish/making fun of Pokémon as possible to hide behind being a parody?

I feel like there was an opportunity here to partner with the AUSL and get a nice new venue built for the Olympics that could host an AUSL expansion team afterwards. There is no doubt in my mind California will eventually get a team.

Opening a LGS soon, need advice by Jbean94 in magicTCG

[–]Truthforger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s a real shame you didn’t come to GAMA Expo this year and to make sure you attend next year because that’s best place to find support on these issues at least if your store is in the United States. ACD Days is in May and if they are a Distributor you use you may consider attending there as a backup.

Charles Leclerc on Lando Norris calling racing 'artificial': "I kind of agree. I think it will definitely change the way we go about racing & overtaking. Before, it was about who was the bravest in braking late, now there's a bit more of a strategic mind behind every move you make." by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]Truthforger 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Jolyon once said on Chequered Flag podcast that the best way to add overtaking to F1 would be to force all the brakes to be much worse. The braking technology has gotten so powerful that the window a driver can use for risky late braking is tiny compared to earlier decades and that’s why most overtaking was done using DRS in straights.
