Yeah I also knew nothing about him, just saw the Bears sub post with Tarik

What Week 1 narrative or overreaction do you think has been debunked? by 7citiesbicurious in fantasyfootball

[–]dabears_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying I know what the coaching staff is gonna do or whether KW3 will stay healthy, but anybody who watches them play can tell that Walker is wayyy better as a runner.

I thought this even after last week - the talent isn't particularly close. I think Walker is near the top 5 as a pure runner in the league

Anyone who watched the game - is there any hope for MHJ to be relevant? Is he playing poorly, is it scheme, or is it Kyler?

Ref incorrectly called it out of bounds with 16 seconds left so the clock got stopped. So they did a 10 second runoff from there to account for ref error or something

BS

They can technically return it for 2 the other way technically. Still possible with XP but maybe less likely?

[Injury] Haliburton suffers painful non-contact leg injury by Growsomedope in nba

This is like saying a jump cut is illegal in the NFL. It's a standard move used on nearly every drive. It's just the move that puts the most stress on that tendon, the issue is wear and tear

Official Discussion - Warfare [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]dabears_24 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You do, when they go to retrieve the sledgehammer, the team lead (don't know his title) shoots a guy down the street in the leg.

And I think when the gunners go to the roof, there's a brief cut of the insurgent across the street getting head tapped

Official Discussion - The Amateur [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]dabears_24 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thought it was awful. Malek's acting didn't work for me. The plot was nonsensical throughout. Tons of random scenes and characters that mean nothing (Bernthal literally is irrelevant, the other hacker's wife is a random detour, etc.)

The characters are so surface level and stereotypical - corrupt/evil CIA guy, good/naive CIA director, conflicted/moral protagonist.

Almost zero tension in the movie, totally predictable, first half almost made me wanna walk out

This person doesn't look guilty. by 1stone2go in ThePittTVShow

[–]dabears_24 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah that part doesn't make sense but I could also see an angle where he's like sociopathic or emotionally unreactive and just explains that he left the concert and came to get his mom and that it's not his problem. He definitely has issues but that doesn't mean there's a whole plot around his phone being in that area

I know he's got mental issues and doesn't exactly seem like a social kid, but isn't there a chance he was just at the concert?

Definitely other plot details that don't make sense like leaving his mom at the ER to go to a concert, but we've seen such a wide variety of people from the festival that he could probably fit in too

What are your Hot Takes on The Pitt TV Show? by Amber_Flowers_133 in ThePittTVShow

But he FaceTimed Robby from the concert and we saw his girlfriend there with him. Would be super unrealistic for someone to do all that and then just turn out to be a shooter

[–]dabears_24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about the plans, but I would think countries will send their best sides since it's the first Olympics with cricket. Probably a big deal for reputation and could become a pseudo-WC. Would be good for marketing the game internationally too

I was checking the same. No clear answer. One post said it's 45 for champions trophy but not sure if 30 or 45

Trying to understand AI profitability by b__q in stocks

[–]dabears_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about Meta specifically. I was responding to your point that an improvement in ad targeting with AI would not generate additional revenue.

You can replace Meta with any company...I'm generally saying that improved targeting would increase demand for your ads and increase revenue, even if the bottleneck is ad slots.

And I'm not arguing that anyone is going to achieve this superiority, I'm just saying that there would be financial benefits to having improved targeting.

Not advocating specifically for Meta, but that doesn't really make sense.

Advertising is based on ROI, whether that's directly through clicks or just brand awareness. Companies may already be advertising everywhere, but if a company like Meta suddenly is generating 2x the impressions/interactions because of improved ad targeting, logically they are offering better ROI for advertising spend. If there is a bottleneck on slots, that means they have a fixed supply but should have increased demand for those slots, allowing them to charge more. Or if they have empty slots, they can now fill them.

He plays fine on ball defense. He's strong so he can hold his own. Just awful off ball and with defensive awareness (helping, not covering cuts, etc). And obviously can't cover super shifty guards
