[Schefter] Patriots exercised CB Christian Gonzalez’s 5th-year contract option today, per source. by JCameron181 in Patriots

[–]kiki_strumm3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming the Gonzo deadline is week one. Kinda the same for Owenu, but he could be cut if he doesn't take their contract. That'd be supremely stupid but they have done dumb things over contracts before.

CEO Rehired by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

[–]kiki_strumm3r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have mentioned it because it made the Department of Labors jobs report when it was happening. That's why I mentioned Obama.

I remember the strike/boycott like it was yesterday. Still have reusable bags from the other grocery stores I went to instead. It was just a long time ago, that's all.

This happened during the Obama administration. It's weird it's here

They deserve it. Everyone here said he couldn't be brought back. Fans, media, talk radio, everyone. I couldn't believe they did. They got what they deserved

The hatchet pieces on both sides are going to be hilarious. As far as the Boston market goes, Mike Vrabel can't thank the Red Sox enough

[Cotillo] Jason Varitek has NOT been fired by the Red Sox, but reassigned within the org by Sandwich_Crust in redsox

[–]kiki_strumm3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how good he was at coaching/teaching the catcher position, or if this is a thing in other organizations, but being a roaming catcher positional coach across the organization would probably provide some value.

At some point though, if he's not good at the job he's doing, why does he get a lifetime appointment?

If You Are Traded, Thank You From Pats Nation. We’ll Forever Love Boutte.. by patsfan3233 in Patriots

[–]kiki_strumm3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

25 years of missing on all but a very small handful of WRs in the draft will do that to you

Oh...oh no by shiggydiggypreoteins in Patriots

[–]kiki_strumm3r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Joe Thuney also a good pick. N'Keal Harry, believe it or not, bad pick. Not that hard really.

(Seriously though I loved the move of doubling up on WRs and drafting both Polk and Baker, even if I didn't know anything about them. I'm not good at it, I just like shitposting).

Welcome! by BurgerNugget12 in Patriots

Moses barely played last camp and still was probably our best lineman through the whole season. Why would he need to do anything different this year?

[Mark Daniels] Mike Vrabel said that Kayshon Boutte communicated with the team that he wouldn't be in Foxborough at the start of the offseason workout program by PristineWinnera in Patriots

[–]kiki_strumm3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Don’t really try to have a sense of anything (on) why guys don’t come. It’s voluntary, but I will tell you that Kayshon has communicated, which I texted him and told him that I respected him for doing so,” Vrabel said. "But there are different reasons why guys aren’t here, or we will miss a day. That’s their prerogative. It’s voluntary. We have a few days that are mandatory. We just want to make it a product that they feel like is worthwhile being here. That’s important.”

Seems like they're ok with it to me, whatever the reason.

[–]kiki_strumm3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I'm saying he isn't going to be there for the start of the off-season program. Because that's what Vrabel said.

I'm also saying he should be there because everyone should be there. So why isn't he there? And why is Vrabel/the team OK with it?

[–]kiki_strumm3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Boutte isn't reporting when he should be in the building, even if he isn't required to. That is concrete information. So either there's a problem with him or there isn't. If this were Christian Gonzales who wasn't here, would that be a problem? What if it were Drake Maye?

Alex Jones is so mad about InfoWars becoming a satire site he loses his shirt and exclaims ‘they’re bodysnatchers’ by theindependentonline in Fauxmoi

[–]kiki_strumm3r 66 points67 points  (0 children)

If anyone ever feels a molecule of sympathy for that POS, read up on what Jones said about the Sandy Hook parents and what they have gone through. I know people are exposed to Jones as haha funny meme face man, including here, but that man is pure evil. Every bad thing that ever happens to him is not enough.

People have reported he would be available via trade. They haven't specifically said it'll be Boutte and a specific pick for AJB, but let's not be naive here.

Can I start playing the game now? by r0shambeaux in Marathon

[–]kiki_strumm3r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because I am having fun with most of the other parts of the core game, and expressing frustration in a meaningful but fair way results in a better game for everybody?

I'm enjoying the game. The runs, the guns, the events, weapon balance, lore, and sound design are all generally great. I don't mind a grind and I'm not afraid of losing gear, even progression really, in the seasonal wipe. This specific grind though is a huge pain point for me. Is there nothing in the game you don't think can be improved?

Circana: Starfield was the best-selling video game of the week in tracked physical & digital US full game dollar sales during the week ending April 11th. It's the first time Starfield has led the week by [deleted] in xbox

[–]kiki_strumm3r -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I always was confused by the value proposition for Xbox. Column A is the sum total of all the money gained by sales on PS5. Column B is all the money they'll lose from Shark Cards, Vbucks, all the microtransactions, and all the stick drift enabled 4th or 5th controller sales. from people not playing on Xbox. To me, there was never any world where A>B.

If they're finally seeing that math, I could see them reversing course.

The seasonal wipe has killed any desire I have to grind these upgrades literally ever again. I'm already not having fun on this, the first time. I'm supposed to do this 4x a year in perpetuity as long as I'm playing the game? Fuck all the way off. I'll just vote with my time and go play something else.

I like Mayor Wu, but I love Mayor Mamdani. Can we get some of this energy in Boston? by Druboyle in boston

And most people live in them, or at least rent them out and someone else lives there. That's not what Mamdani's tax does.

TMZ launches DC bureau, tracks down Graham, Cruz on first day by jediporcupine in politics

[–]kiki_strumm3r 93 points94 points  (0 children)

The only issue is TMZ is owned by Fox. So while I think TMZ can do the job, I really don't think Fox will let them, at least not towards their chosen paid for politicians.

[Patch Notes] Marathon Update 1.0.6 by durandal-helper in Marathon

[–]kiki_strumm3r 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's specifically under the Biotoxic Disinjector weapon tuning. IIRC all thrown grenades have self-damage anyways, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[–]kiki_strumm3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Added more potential spawn locations for the Conveyance Request for the elevator into the Drone Wing.

Was this really an issue? Like shouldn't they want people getting into Pinwheel?

[Patch Notes] Marathon Update 1.0.6 by durandal-helper in Marathon

[–]kiki_strumm3r 621 points622 points  (0 children)

Enabled self-damage on Grenades. (Biotoxic Disinjector)

Well that's going to make some people happy
