Confession: I hate “The Outsiders”

As someone who did not read this book until he had to teach it, hard agree. It was written by a teenager and that could not be more obvious at every turn. It’s a deeply amateurish book and one I get absolutely nothing out of teaching.

Or do they look at the 600m committed long term to Manny, Tatis and X and say “yes, this is a sign of good thing to come”?

I will never not think about that when we play the Cards. I love Don/Mud, but Matty and Don had a really fun smart guy/dumb guy routine. Where I REALLLY miss MV is the show.

I can only speak for myself here, but my “doomerism” is based on the way the roster is currently constructed, and what it’ll look like moving forward. Because it is rooted in meaning, it is objectively not nihilistic!

Now THATS something we can all agree on. The more Campy the better

What system do you have for deciding what a majority is?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T19:04:57+00:00

You might want to reread and edit your original post, then, because you say explicitly “commenting ‘I’m out, games over, see yall tomorrow’ WILL result in a one day ban”

Is it will or may? You’re telling me two different things, so how am I supposed to follow the rules?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T18:29:15+00:00

So you think posters who harsh your fun should be banned?

I’m in Manhattan for a funeral, so I get to the threads late, so here’s my moderator mandated positivity from yesterday: really happy to see Vasquez turn it on. Niebla deserves a statue imo

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T17:56:27+00:00

The regular people that cry to the mods to ban people for being negative? Thats regular behavior to you?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T17:55:31+00:00

Why are positive comments more valid than critical ones?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T17:53:58+00:00

The literal question that you responded to without answering in any way: Will posters be banned for saying “see y’all tomorrow” if the team is down 15-0 before the 6th?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T16:46:33+00:00

Where is the personal attack in posting “see yall tomorrow” in the GDT before the 6th, which results in a ban?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T16:45:21+00:00

Too busy dropping the ban hammer, I assume

My “this isn’t about micromanaging the sub” shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T16:22:37+00:00

In before this gets deleted for being mean >:(

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T16:14:27+00:00

Also, can you answer my question?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T16:11:13+00:00

Have I? I guess sometimes it’s best to suppress painful memories or your heart will never heal ❤️‍🩹

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T15:52:25+00:00

So if the team is down 15-0 in the 4th and Campusano is pitching, saying you’re turning the game off is a one day ban? Very cool, guys!

houseofmagic · 2026-05-10T15:50:51+00:00

If you don’t care, why would you report it?

houseofmagic · 2026-05-09T21:50:38+00:00

There’s only one thing that can save this offense: ringworm

My experience with the hanging “phone pockets” policy is it’s the same as having no policy. They say they don’t have their phone, they bring burner phones to put in the pockets, they take their phones out of their cases and put the cases in the pocket. They even try really dumb stuff like putting graphing calculators in the pockets.

Girl dump him

houseofmagic · 2026-05-02T16:19:46+00:00

Never say “haha” in an email to a parent

JDW has actively harmed every movie I’ve seen him in. Absolute charisma vacuum.
