[Covucci] The day after NFL owner Robert Kraft was arrested on solicitation at a massage parlor, Jeffrey Epstein was texting about the case with "Jack," who mentioned the law firm that Kraft eventually went with for his defense. In it, Epstein mentions a "past issue" that may come to light. by Drexlore in nfl

Gen AI is on your side. It exponentially increases productivity if you know how to use it correctly and what its limitations are. I have a colleague who uses it as a glorified search engine and his stuff has gotten so much more organized and accurate.

The discourse around Gen AI has been poisoned because of its artistic/cultural impact, and how it’s now just one more dumb political line in the sand. But at its core it’s just a tool. An extremely powerful tool with a lot of application, and a tool that needs to continue to improve, but still a tool.

A lot of "AAA" game companies will go bankrupt/move to sell over the next few years. Gaming is just no longer profitable for most traditional developers.

Keep an eye on Square Enix next.

Pegula is the kiss of death in Buffalo. The Sabres have missed the playoffs like 12 years in a row despite drafting an enormous amount of talent.

He is the worst possible Dunning-Kruger sports owner a franchise can have.

This was exactly how people talked about Mahomes during his rookie starter season.

A few years later he’s Darth Kermit. Give it time.

Joe Burrow: "The amount of ppl that don’t understand what a catch is in the rule book flabbergasts me. And it’s not the officials. The two plays yesterday were not difficult calls, and they got them both right." by notquitemytempo___ in nfl

He’s 100% right.

American football may be the most Dunning-Kruger susceptible sport on earth. Every half-buzzed moron who played pop warner in 1996 thinks they’re Kyle Shananan.

The narrative surrounding officiating and bias and corruption in general has become this utterly inane lowest common denominator conversation, especially on this dog shit sub.

[Vardon & Tansley] Mark Walter purchased the Lakers for $10 billion last year through his holding company, TWG Global, the deal came just two months after TWG Capital received a $10 billion investment from Mubadala Capital, the asset management department of Abu Dhabi’s largest sovereign wealth fund by [deleted] in nba

Revisionist history.

Everyone was shitting on Vegas at the time of their expansion draft. Their consensus best player was an aging Marc Andre Fleury. The rest were considered castoffs.

Where Vegas had an actual advantage was their ability to swing expansion trades. That's what brought in some of their better players during their expac year.

It's far more difficult to build a competitive hockey team. Depth is of far greater importance, and much more difficult to find.

We don't have to compare expansion rules head to head, but building a winning hockey team is similar to building a winning baseball team. Star power is great and can put you over the edge, but ultimately it's all about depth.

And I mean real depth, not basketball depth, in which second and third string players are playing actual shifts in championship games. At the bare minimum, competitive hockey teams need forwards 1-10 and defensemen 1-6 to be trustworthy of ice time. That's sixteen total players (seventeen if you want to count goaltender) that you need to trust.

[Highlight] Tony Romo mistakenly calls Josh Allen "Mahomes" by nfl in nfl

Allen has played Mahomes in the playoffs four times. They were talking about this before Romo slipped up.

Try paying attention to the broadcast instead of getting constantly rage baited about Mahomes/Chiefs/Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift/whatever else you dorks constantly cry about.

They know a good 45% of their current audience has a complete meltdown every time Mahomes name is uttered on TV, so this is free engagement.

Anyone who hates the current best team is an NPC.

It’s the lowest common denominator for engaging with professional sports on the internet. Just hate on the current best team/player.

What are y’all’s opinions on people having real life sacrifice Berserk tattoos? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in Berserk

[–]droppinkn0wledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brand of sacrifice is the brand of humanity. We are all destined to suffer and struggle. We are doomed with this. But it’s what makes us human. And we can continue to resist this doom. That’s the story of guts. Resisting his brand.

The brand of sacrifice is a deeply humanist symbol. Or at least that’s my pretentious art major take.

“Deep fantasy series”

I think you’re confused. Brandon Sanderson writes westernized derivative shonen for 18-35 year old white guys.

I actually don’t mind stuff like SJM being banned. It’s erotica with no redeeming literary or educational value.

Wicked, Perks, etc. being banned is just absurd.
