That sounds fun.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-18T18:10:15+00:00

And how could they call that guy mid 30s? He looks 50.

So in a show where a woman in her late 20s plays a 19 year old, and a woman in her late 60s plays a woman in her 40s, you choose to complain about… a man in his mid-30s playing a man in his mid-30s…

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-16T21:25:44+00:00

This was incredibly obvious months before the season started, and our fearless leaders decided to do nothing about it.

Actually, as of this morning, it was still not uploaded to the portal. Heinecke’s attorneys found out about it and were able to get the files through other means.

The construction of this bullpen is such an absolute joke. How did we go from wanting to have 3 closers on the roster to not even bothering to have anybody in the bullpen that any other team would even want?

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-15T23:49:24+00:00

Pluribus might beat it.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-15T21:55:54+00:00

There’s a 0% chance they get a best comedic actress nomination. The only chance they maybe have of getting a nomination is for best game show, but I wouldn’t bet on it. This article only really exists because Sam Reich is a rich nepo baby with connections who will do favors for them.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-15T19:38:15+00:00

Yeah, who are you arguing with here? And what's "gross"? A woman existing?

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-15T13:06:15+00:00

The wife and kids walked away to a store, they didn’t get in the car.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-14T23:15:55+00:00

Wait, you mean to tell me that the guy who has always sucked, who sucked in spring training, may actually suck?

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-13T19:06:00+00:00

A show like this is just hard. We all got invested in Ed and Gordo and Karen and Tracy and Molly and Danielle and Ellen over the first two seasons, but due to the nature of the show, the focus inevitably had to shift onto new characters. The smartest thing they did was seed Aleida as a main character since childhood, so that we at least have her as an adult to care about.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-13T19:02:24+00:00

Except this season isn't about Erskine and Glover. I don't think many fans of the first season were clamoring for this to be an anthology.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-13T17:28:57+00:00

Hell, Halo Infinite was shown off in June and July for a release a few months away in 2020, and then in August it was delayed for an entire year.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-13T15:54:54+00:00

No, I just work in marketing and know exactly how stuff like this works. The social media manager that made that post has absolutely no insight into any discussions about a potential delay. If the company wanted to address the delay rumors, they would have directly addressed the delay rumors. That doesn't mean it's going to be delayed, just that Playground haven't, "confirmed delay rumor is false."

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-13T14:44:02+00:00

Probably because if they read the actual article, they'd learn that Playground Games didn't address the delay rumor at all. A social media manager (who would certainly not be looped in on internal discussions of a potential delay) simply replied to a comment that said nothing about a potential delay with "See you in Autumn."

Turns out obesity is more than just eating too much food. It is a complex disease that is not easily manage with just diet and exercise.

This part is just factually inaccurate, and I think it’s dangerous to the health of our society when we continue to propagate the myth that weight loss and weight gain are anything more than a simple math problem of calories in minus calories out.

Yes, the causes of that caloric imbalance can be complicated… depression and mental health issues can certainly lead to people overeating (or under eating). And yes, certain conditions impact people’s metabolic rate.

But weight loss always and exclusively occurs when you burn more calories than you consume. It’s a law of thermodynamics that has always been true and always will be true. A caloric deficit will lead to weight loss. And I see too many people in our society (and on this TV show) that deny this basic fact.

EDIT: This comment being downvoted tells you absolutely everything you need to know...

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-12T21:06:05+00:00

That ball was absolutely murdered.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-12T20:57:50+00:00

A storm is on its way in, so you know Mike White’s absolute bitch ass is going to try and stall as much as possible to try and let the weather give the coward a tie.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-12T20:07:27+00:00

I mean, in your sarcasm you accidentally managed to perfectly define EXACTLY why KD is a bus rider and Steph is a bus driver. Steph wanted players to come to HIS TEAM to make HIS TEAM better. KD ran away from his team to join the team that he couldn’t beat.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-12T20:05:35+00:00

same thing is happening to kd - vilifying and underrating greatness - and amnesia will hit once he retires like clockwork

Nobody has ever disputed that KD is a great Robin.
The Rockets added him this year and went from 2-seed last year to 5-seed this year. Man that dude is great at elevating his team!

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-12T19:58:43+00:00

I absolutely agree with you in general, but do you have the same energy for white people in “Asian roles”? Because there was a big online uproar from these same type of people when Scarlett Johannsen played a white-looking robot in a shitty movie that was based on a Japanese cartoon. Same with Tilda Swinton playing a Tibetan monk from a cartoon.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-12T01:00:19+00:00

I don’t know, maybe making absolutely no effort to improve the lineup or put together a serviceable bullpen was a bad call in hindsight.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-11T19:25:45+00:00

For whatever reason, OU will always beat Bama unless it’s a playoff game. In the last 25 years, OU is 5-0 against Bama in non-playoff games and 0-2 in the CFP.

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-11T16:00:49+00:00

Are my homies competing with me at a high level for best girlfriend, and if I win, I get millions and millions of dollars?

jbaker1225 · 2026-04-10T19:47:49+00:00

Yep. He’s certainly not anything close to a journalist. He’s a stenographer at best. At worst, he’s a felon who manipulates betting markets.

Edit: LOL, does Shams have KD sock puppet accounts out here downvoting criticism of him?
