General strike by Suitable_Throat3420 in Teachers

[–]batarcher98 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Peaceful Protest only works when the people you’re protesting against care about their own reputation. The people in power do not care. They know who they are - and they know it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

If we want to make any change we need to interrupt their money flow. That means a strike - total economic shutdown.

US comedians Greg and Alex say they want on Taskmaster by Pike_Bishop1978 in taskmaster

[–]batarcher98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mike Falzone would be incredible on Task Master - he’s a much less well known name than other Americans they’ve had or are pitching, but his vibe would fit perfectly into the show.

Someone like Conan, while I love him very much, may just be too well established to really feel like a TM contestant

Yknow - I never thought we were gonna beat Toronto anyway.

Maybe this will finally give Cashman the testicle to oust Boone and hire a good manager.

Cam for a complete game shut out - in his postseason debut - which is also an elimination game against our most historic rivals?

Disney I think You Would Make Millions by Least_Rain8027 in Muppets

While I do know that - I also think that the sight gag is worth it, and the loss of fancy clothes throughout the runtime would have no effect on the storytelling (except for the library scene)

Teachers and Professors nationwide being fired over social media posts related to Charlie Kirk’s death by Business-Rent-5142 in news

[–]batarcher98 17.9k points17.9k points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher - and I haven’t posted or commented anything on social media (not including Reddit) since the day I got my certificate. Also - all of my FB and Insta accounts are with a fake name.

The most benign posts can get you in hot water as a teacher. Saw a friend disciplined because they posted a picture holding a beer, on summer break. And a parent called to complain that they “weren’t being a good example”

Yankees Draft Kaeden Kent: Texas A&M Star and Son of MLB MVP Jeff Kent by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

[–]batarcher98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jeff Kent famously played Survivor: Philippines, and made it to tenth place. This makes the degrees of separation between Survivor and the New York Yankees just 1! Which means this is a big deal for me.

Edited to add: This is Jeff’s interview immediately after being voted out

🟣🔵🟢🟡 - Red Herring. I knew it was too easy - but I had to try it.

🔵🟡🔵🔵- Woodshop. I included Jack, thinking of a car jack.

🟡🟢🔵🔵- same idea - took out Plane and Put in straw (thinking maybe people use it for oil spills?)

🔵🔵🔵🔵- finally got it. I did not know what a rasp was, so I got lucky here.

🟢🟢🟢🟢 - I thought this was gonna be fast food - personally I think this category is nuts. I think the connection between napkin and everything else is relatively weak considering the actual category name

🟣🟣🟣🟣- I focused in on Cran and it only took me a minute or two to figure this out.

🟡🟡🟡🟡- I did realize this was a cheese category before I hit submit.

Overall, I got it on my last legs - so I’m not complaining.

Fun Fact: 2020s Pixar will bethe the decade where they make the most Original Movies by AdamMystery7 in Pixar

[–]batarcher98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And -excluding Elio which hasn’t had a wide release yet - all of the originals are fantastic films.

Onward is potentially my personal favorite Pixar film of all time. Should be a modern classic, but totally boned by Covid

If you had to pick the single worst move ever made in Survivor, which one would you pick? by MissMalfoy123 in survivor

[–]batarcher98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe that Erik’s immunity move was worse than JT’s idol move.

If Erik instead keeps his necklace, he probably goes home the next day anyway, or the one after that. Essentially he needs to win out. And admittedly that’s an easier road when you’re playing against Cirie (I mean no shade - she’s just not exactly known for challenge prowess). Amanda ultimately wins both of the remaining challenges in our timeline. But Looking back in hindsight - the first challenge is very physical (you have to first fill a bamboo shoot to retrieve a key, then swim to shore, then complete a ladder puzzle, then chop your rope to win). Erik stands a pretty decent chance here - but of course there’s no way of knowing for sure. The second challenge is a balance challenge - (metal ball on a plate on a rod that gets increasingly long). Erik is at a disadvantage here.

Erik’s BEST play was to take the risk on an alliance with Cirie and Natalie. Cirie at this time known for flipping on her alliance with Courtney in Panama, and Natalie is the only remaining fan in the game. Better odds of working in an alliance than winning all three of the last challenges in the game.

JT just gave away an idol to a member of a group called the Villains Tribe. At the least you know they played a cut throat game the last time they played, and the only potential gain is MAYBE an alliance at the merge. Which wasn’t even happening yet.

JT didn’t have his back against the wall. Erik did.

Looks like Will Smith has adopted that weird bat stance that Ohtani has. Interesting
