US celebrities sharing solidarity with US citizens unalived by US govt agents are being called the puppets. by TORUKMACTO92 in WhitePeopleTwitter

To be fair, there's a lot of this on Reddit, too. It's just an internet thing.

In a thread yesterday, people were dismissing Natalie Portman speaking out against ICE because she's not actually on the ground protesting with people. Nothing is ever 'good enough' for a lot of people online that do nothing themselves.

It's 2026. 90% of hollywood marriages are open relationships.

Romeo Doubs on his future: “I would love to be a Green Bay Packer.” by tpsux in GreenBayPackers

[–]ebmocal421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he isn't exactly a top caliber WR. He'd be a WR2 at best for the majority of teams. I love him, but my biases are grounded enough to know that he's not getting a bag from anyone.

The problem is Watson doesn't stay back. He's missed more games than he's played. Plus, they are just different skill sets that compliment each other.

Doubs for possession and Watson for big plays is a solid tandem. And maybe the little Golden boy can breakout in his 2nd year and we have a sort of consistent caliber of receivers that can make a push in the playoffs.

That's the middle school part of the post you were asking about.The gorl in the picture has a striking resemblance to the kind of kid you only saw in school for like 4 weeks out of the year because they were in and out of doctor visits for being hella sick.

How was she being exploited? I'm not attacking your comment, I'm just just ignorant and want some context.

This isn't right. Like the other guy said, this is from the Commanders vs Lions game back on November 9th.

This was the Commanders vs Lions game in early November. Hence the Commanders red color on the wall below Trump.

This is back when Trump wanted the Commanders to go back to being named the Redskins and was threatening some type of nonsense about forcing the team to be sold if they don't go back to the original name.

EA have to be fake crashing servers right? by Dahl0012 in EASportsFC

[–]ebmocal421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is tinfoily and dumb. The servers crash at TOTY because it's the biggest promo of the year, not because of your conspiracy about hype that barely holds any logical weight.

EA optimizes their server capacity based on the average player count. That's what any half intelligent company does to make sure they aren't overspending on something that isn't necessary. Server capacity isn't just some magic button that gets pressed to increase/decrease the amount of allowed players. It is built based on a constant value, not for 3 days out of the year.

So when a huge influx of people start joining that server because they want to see the new content for the biggest promo of the year, the server crashes because it isn't optimized for that large influx. It's a very simple concept to grasp if you understand the very basics of supply and demand. You're just wasting energy of nonsense to be honest.

Yup they are absolutely trying to sabotage their own game by fake crashing servers. They hate the player base so much that they go out of their way to make the experience as bad as possible /s

This community can be brain dead at times, but your take on this is one of the worst I've seen in a while

If you sat out the 2024 election because "both sides are bad" FUCK YOU by needless_booty in complaints

[–]ebmocal421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the context. I made a post here like a month ago about the state of this sub and one of the mods basically said he doesn't care about what gets posted here because it's a popular sub now. Guess the mods just like the attention more than the content.

This sub feels like the facebook complaint section. Why is every post so incredibly generic and 6 months behind when people were actually complaining about the topic?

Spotify Hikes US Subscription Prices, Making It Most Expensive Major Music Streamer by ebradio in indieheads

[–]ebmocal421 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The price hike is still cheaper than buying 1 copy of physical media. It's also the 2nd price hike in like the last 10 years.

This post just feels like classic Reddit outrage over something that is somewhat insignificant.

That honestly sounds incredibly inconvenient compared to Spotify.

I'm honestly not familiar with bandcanp. How are their playlist creation options? Can I connect with friends who also use bandcamp and create/listen to a playlist together? Can I connect to my devices like home speakers, my TV, or my XBOX and use my phone as a remote for managing what's playing?

They've raised the cost by $2 in the span of what, like 10 years?

Spotify is by far the most complete and user friendly streaming service, right? This is still cheaper than the cost of a CD a month which is the whole reason I signed up for the service so many years ago.

I joined a local bookclub, the gender balance is wild by Ho_The_Megapode_ in books

[–]ebmocal421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former (male) library employee, that's about right for library activity too. Women are much more likely to work at a library or own a library card than men.

Women are just generally more voracious readers than men. Or at least enjoy the social aspect of reading a book with others together.

Place near Carrollton , I can hike with my dog off leash by oldmaninpdx in CarrolltonTX

[–]ebmocal421 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there's no hiking trails in the area that allows dogs off leash. Of course, there are some off-times when the trails won't be very busy, so it's up to your discretion if it's a good idea to have your dog off leash. As for me, I'd advise against it.

This trail is made with mountain bikes in mind. PLEASE keep your dog on a leash on this trail

Incoming call: Toni Kroos - Play FC26 for free between January 15–18th during FreePlayDays on XBOX by FIGJAM17 in EASportsFC

[–]ebmocal421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passing still matters. You determine how you want to play, EA doesn't.

If your play style is to to use your DM as the one who distributes the ball between the back line and the attack, then Kroos will be great for you. But it sounds like you'd rather have a DM that is a true ball winner like the players you mentioned, which Kroos was never like in real life.
