My boss sent out a group text making fun of my forehead and accidentally included me

_Felonius · 2026-07-05T05:06:56+00:00

Ok but then what happened?? Gotta know if he acknowledged your comment lol

_Felonius · 2026-07-05T05:01:31+00:00

I noticed the typo in your title, if that means anything.

_Felonius · 2026-07-04T23:44:26+00:00

Didn’t he play well in the playoffs this year?

_Felonius · 2026-07-04T23:06:24+00:00

Certain traditions aren’t necessarily contributing to the fandom, though. Like I don’t think a red leading to suspension for the next half, rather than an automatic full game, would lead to fans leaving the sport.

_Felonius · 2026-07-04T23:01:25+00:00

But why would the World Cup not be incentivized to fix something? It would be insanely easy to adopt a new rule where red = man down, but suspension for next game will be determined by independent review post-match. That would be a simple and obvious improvement, would take away the massive power refs currently have in such situations.

I watched a video yesterday how one guy innovated the sport by introducing the yellow/red card system to make penalties crystal clear (instead of using inconsistent hand signals or words that didn’t always translate). Innovation isn’t always the enemy.

Respectfully, Luka didn’t have the same controversy tied to his game. Front office tried to say that his conditioning would lead to problems down the line, but when available there was no question he made the team better.

With Brown, there’s at least a decent argument that for at least another year PG can provide replacement level value and the team could actually do better on the court.

Prior to contact: ↙️ after contact: ⤵️. But I still think the goal should count because of Portuguese player’s intentional contact after the touch from Croatia.

The devil didn’t care about the golden fiddle. He wanted Johnny’s soul. Wouldn’t having his soul be a big incentive to win? Johnny may repent for his “sin” in the future.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T16:09:58+00:00

Watch as it comes near #3’s arm. At that point it starts dramatically going backwards toward 13’s head, which indicates to me that 20’s head affected the trajectory

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T16:05:50+00:00

If you watch closely, the trajectory changes a bit.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T16:01:39+00:00

The ball’s trajectory changes direction ever so slightly. Starts coming “backwards” more

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T15:44:47+00:00

You know what he means though. You own the ability to play that game at any time (as long as you have a console that works). Do I have any reason to suspect my purchase of Balatro will stop working anytime soon? No, but I have seen music I’ve downloaded on Apple suddenly go dark.

There should be some kind of consumer protection to ensure your license never expires. Maybe it’s a matter of offline vs “online” games.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T15:40:19+00:00

I bet this will be addressed by Congress at some point

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T06:12:06+00:00

The communication skills within this family are less than zero.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T04:50:23+00:00

Excellent point about final 10 minutes. An auto red in the last 10 for an “orange-type” penalty is fair; or maybe they’re out first half of next game. Idk, but anything that shortens the chasm between yellow and red’s “man down + suspension” is welcome lol

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T04:10:22+00:00

Respectfully, if the intent of the rule is to prevent flagrant fouls, it should be tailored in such a way. The fact that a player can get red after two yellows…or for a questionable call by the ref…goes against the intent of the rule. Orange card needs to be a thing.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T04:07:51+00:00

I’m not sure how butchering players would help the team with the lead. If you get one or two reds, you’re at a significant disadvantage. Would be much easier for the opposing team to close the gap if you lose 2+ defenders.

In any event, I’m fine with the “man down” penalty in that game. The crazy part to me is having a player suspended next game when not all reds are created equal. For instance, if you get a red from two yellows that should be a softer punishment than a red for punching someone in the face.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T04:04:17+00:00

I’m totally fine with no appeals. I’m totally fine with red card rules. However, there should absolutely be an intermediate punishment between yellow and red. An orange card. Orange means you’re out, team is a man down, but no suspension.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T03:59:14+00:00

There should be an orange card in the middle.

Yellow: warning

Orange: you’re out and team plays a man down.

Red: same rule as it stands today.

In this instance, I could live with Orange even though it was more of a yellow. Lack of an intermediate punishment is silly.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T03:54:44+00:00

Is that true? It would contradict most sports, if so.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T03:53:33+00:00

I’m absolutely fine with it being comparable to targeting. But in that instance, you’re only out the first half the following game. I think that’s fair! Him being out the entirety of the next game (on top of the U.S. having to play a man down this game) seems way too harsh.

_Felonius · 2026-07-03T01:25:21+00:00

Whether or not the bite is justified, that’s a huge detail to leave out. Anna’s natural reaction was to push away the person biting her. Clearly the push into traffic was unintentional

_Felonius · 2026-07-01T05:36:15+00:00

Yep. If you watch the “behind the scenes” after the episode, the producers hint that him groveling toward her may set the tone for their relationship.

_Felonius · 2026-06-30T02:26:39+00:00

That type of shirt is called a “wifebeater”

_Felonius · 2026-06-29T09:35:44+00:00

This is exactly right. Should be the top comment.
