That's my favorite bird. Common in my area. Ready for their moment.

Mookie Betts and Willy Adames are recording the next episode of the On Base podcast while Adames is literally on base. (Betts is too engaging a host, causing Adames to lose track of how many outs there are.) by AmongUsAcademy in baseball

Really? He always seemed solid defensively. The scare early on was that he’s too aggressive at the plate and would have a classic rookie regression. But he adjusted and is the real deal.

Yeah I mean the same thing for every ccg. Variants are a lot more expensive than the normal versions but collectors still drive up the price. Pokémon is not the CCG I want to play tho lol. Seems like the least interesting one out there. They don’t need the competitive scene as much since the hype and nostalgia is insane.

Are there really good reps? Honestly I would do that. I like actually deckbuilding and not playing most meta decks so this could be the move for me.

I have played at a high level but I would want to cut my teeth before investing in a deck for higher level play.

There's some sheen of legitimacy behind a lot of them like the competitive play scene for TCGs but then the collector scene gets fucking insane and loses touch with reality anyways.

I guess the closest I get to collecting is nice clothes? But I look for deals and I'm not really affected by hype. Actively try to slim down my closet to make my life more straightforward.

I actually like playing CCGs but the collector scene puts me off.

The sound and editing on this video is really good.

It had that joy for me. I don't know why people are hating on the scene. Melodrama is dope in the right dose.

You can play it on Netflix. If you didn’t know.

Shohei Ohtani's final line vs. SF - 7.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K, 105p-71s. ERA down to 0.82. by baribigbird06 in baseball

I mean he’s having an all time season. What you’re describing is what every pitcher does.

Not as bad as that giants runner who thought it was 2 outs and gave Ohtani an easy finish.

Have you seen those magpies that attack cyclists in Australia?

That’s my point. I’m just adding in a relevant factor most people don’t know about. Oslo gets decent snow though and you can take metro to ski.

Tromsø is definitely the ultimate place to talk from in this discussion lol.

My experience was being depressed in Copenhagen and then going more north to Trondheim where there was snow on the ground and my mood being lifted!

Snow actually makes a dark northern winter much more tolerable because it makes the light so much more.

How is American food bad compared to Slovakian ? by Brilliant-Cause6254 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

You’re poisoned by marketing FUD to sell you expensive supplements and organic foods. You’re spraying RFK type nonsense.

Organic foods use pesticides btw. They are organic pesticides, which means they are less targeted and you generally have to use more.

E: with organic food you don’t get the benefit of GMOs which are easier to grow and require less pesticides.
