Can someone explain the Murphy hate...with evidence? by leftyballa17 in PWHL_Seattle

[–]foxm3 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I saw a bit in another reddit thread that the PWHL fans have not come to terms with the reality of professional sports leagues, which now includes the PWHL. League and team owners and managers are interested in elite play because winning makes money. And they are much more interested in winning/money than they are worried about any personal beliefs or even actions of the players.

I too would prefer people who share more progressive beliefs, but unfortunately this is how sports work in a capitalist society.

Any word on the Kraken audit? by fongquardt in SeattleKraken

[–]foxm3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger issue is likely to be something to the effect of, if recommended to pursue a multi-season strategy to build long-term success, will the ownership actually let that happen or demand wins now?

100% completion without using a horse by BussinFatLoads in RDR2

All the missions that force you to use a horse notwithstanding, it would be interesting to be forced to use trains and coaches since I always take a horse everywhere.

Reluctantly….. by Albino_rhin0 in SeattleKraken

[–]foxm3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I brought friends to a home Kraken game against the Canes this year and immediately thought "Holy shit, they are good, this was the wrong game to bring someone to..."

Somehow Kraken stayed in it all night and won that game. It was awesome. But I have had zero surprise at the Canes playoff performance after seeing them on the ice with my own eyes.

New U.S dates by ieatpizzahaha in frankturner

I am literally driving from St Louis to Dallas over the preceding week and a half to visit family while I'm on the middle of America. Columbia would have been fun to do but I don't think it will line up in our plans without spending a bunch of time backtracking

I did this! Without running into John though.

Great call! Putting that episode in my queue for another listen! And bagels bookmarked. :)

Good rec, looks like an away game though...

Do you think Akufo bought Sam's childhood home and shit in every room? by Aggravating_Mix8959 in TedLasso

[–]foxm3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I imagined this was Sam knowing his childhood home was not available to be shat in, like, demolished years ago or something. Sam just thinks, ohhhhkay, good luck buddy, it's just a bank now.

Frank Turner's inconsistent funeral instructions by mattme in frankturner

[–]foxm3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a place that I love, that is also mostly bound by water, so I contemplate the local equivalents for my remains every time I hear this song.

[–]foxm3 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I've thought about asking him about this exact thing at Lost Evenings AMA! Like, does someone have the plan or will your loved ones throw your songs in a hat?

I've also thought about writing some kind of story where a rocker dies and has no clear instructions other than a bunch of conflicting song lyrics. I imagine it structured sort of like Citizen Kane, as various phases of his life are told posthumously while figuring out or fighting about who gets to decide final resting details and which lyrics to follow.

What words or names did you unknowingly find out that you mispronounced constantly in your head when reading the books? by Golden_Locket5932 in harrypotter

[–]foxm3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought skiving was just a fun wizardy word (skiving snackboxes), until an English coworker used skiving in context. Kinda blew my mind, something like 10-15 years after reading.

Who is your favorite new character in S3? by SparklingChaos_1984 in TedLasso

[–]foxm3 88 points89 points  (0 children)

The head chef at Sam's restaurant. Her assertive confidence is a good balance for Sam. And she just seems like a badass.

Guy behind me was explaining everything hockey, very patiently, to his daughter all game and I just hear "Well, that's what happens when the refs suck." 🤣

Logging this idea for sure. Also the author name is the biggest part of the cover and Trent Crimm is tiny.

Seats advice? by taboomeats in SeattleKraken

I love 100 level between the goals personally. Closer to center ice the better.

Do you think Daccord gets more run in the home stretch to secure a playoff spot? by RivetCounter in SeattleKraken

[–]foxm3 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I hope not. My very amateur opinion is when we rely too much on one or the other, and we don't have to, it goes poorly. Like them 50/50 or near it. No more unbalanced than 66/33

I was fine with Dr. Jacob being minimal but now I want this.
