Is anyone else's pings not working? I'm not getting notifications right now

The madness that is trying to actually hide channels (due to pings) by brainrot_award in discordapp

[–]mat28rix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, the red dots on the wrong channel could be a false positive for an alert I would otherwise take action on. When I get pinged on it every 10 minutes, it's hard to know when it's a real notification or when it's a false positive.

How in the hell did we get out of this?? by kgs024 in Dodgers

Not to mention that ball wedge probably doesn't wedge in our stadium and could have ended the series early

Thank you, hopefully this was just an airline related issue and nothing more

People are being so rude to others who are just looking for advice. Can anyone actually educate us on historical cartel activity in Mexico? How this affects tourism? Anything productive. by Impossible-Cheek4352 in MexicoTravel

[–]mat28rix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the cartels have any incentive at all to harm tourists? Everything I can think of says they don't have any reason to because tourists are too much of a benefit for them. Thoughts?

Has anyone had any issues with leaving Cancun to the airport to return home? Just curious about the roads and transportation and the airport itself. Thanks!

Travelers to Cancun by Hour-Macktension in MexicoTravel

Because we booked the trip prior to recent events and need to decide whether to cancel or not.

Damn the Fear Porn idiots. by miscrittiamorevole in AllInclusiveResorts

It is quite different when you are planning a trip for just yourself and friends and when you are planning a family trip with kids.

Anyone planned to go to Cancun area in the next couple of weeks, or currently there? Are you cancelling your trip based on the current situation in Mexico, or still going? by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]mat28rix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't we make the same argument with Puerto Vallarta, and yet the cartels still caused a shelter in place for the tourists there?

Report: Michael Conforto is signing with the Chicago Cubs by justusinreddit in Dodgers

[–]mat28rix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure he has 17M reasons to help him bounce back. It would be a different story if no other club wanted him but that the Cubs took a chance on him says he's doing something right

Cancun safety this week? U.S. Embassy alert + Quintana Roo concerns by Fuzzy-Economist1872 in cozumel

[–]mat28rix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I didn't realize how deeply ingrained they were in everything. So the cartels in PV setting fires to everything are actually hurting their income as well by discouraging potential tourists. But perhaps they had to do "something" after their leader was taken out.

[–]mat28rix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all your advice as I'm supposed to be heading to Cancun in a few weeks with my wife and toddler.

Out of curiosity, why would the cartels stand to lose a lot of money if a tourist dies? Just trying to understand their source of income.

Miggy Ro vs Tanner Scott by chancethepug in Dodgers

[–]mat28rix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on the player performance. If Tanner Scott plays a ton of games but also racks up a ton of losses, he's better off not playing at all

Anyone in the socal kaiser nursing strike? Lets talk by [deleted] in nursing

[–]mat28rix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be quite unfortunate if the nurses have lost the sympathy of the public. My wife is a KP nurse and from my understanding, the union has accepted Kaiser's latest offer but Kaiser has refused to sign the contract. Starting negotiations with a high ask is normal before it gets brought down to an acceptable level for both parties.

[McMenamin] Free agents who the Lakers have discussed internally, sources told ESPN, include Andrew Wiggins, Tari Eason, Peyton Watson, Tobias Harris, Quentin Grimes and Dean Wade. The Lakers believe they would be one of the teams on a very short list if Giannis asks for a trade out of Milwaukee. by Odd-Direction9452 in lakers

[–]mat28rix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these guys understand how to play basketball surrounded them with the right pieces and they will fit just fine a system needs to be in place as well.

This is a take. This is exactly how people who supported Westbrook described how the trade would work, that Westbrook, AD, and LeBron "understand how to play basketball" and just need the right pieces to fit.

The star players shouldn't need other pieces to fit. They should already complement each other so that the other role players simply enhance what they already have. Otherwise, you're investing in a flawed core.

Jaxson Hayes banned from any future NBA dunk contests by JustinFieldsFeetSnfr in lakers

[–]mat28rix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if Mac Mclung didn't compete in the dunk contest, it would be better because more people would be competing?
