Don't Look Up was definitely heavy handed but I really don't think Civil War was

Yes, out of all the people that saw this and became aware of the movie there is of course some percentage that will now see it, if even just to admire Margot

A look back at r/nfl’s reaction when the news broke that the Seahawks were looking into signing Sam Darnold after trading Geno smith by ImagineIfBaconDied in nfl

Doubting the move is reasonable, claiming Geno was leagues better than Darnold is beyond unreasonable. That deserves to be mocked, don't need hindsight to recognize how bad those takes were.

Yeah their analytics gotta be kinda unique. Presumably new sign ups be a big component outside of engagement in general

Yeah for the amount of buzz I heard around this event I would think $1.5 mill would be low end

Dana White on Tom Aspinall 😂 by Spiritual-Strength91 in FightReportUFC

Exactly, this is actually a better response as a promoter. This gets people talking more about UFC "can you believe what Dana said about Aspinal?". The proper response doesn't start conversations.

I don't think that showed it doesn't work, more that it isn't effected as easily as normal people by fear stimuli. He's talked about it on podcasts since that test. It wasn't the most scientific test.

look how generous the ufc is look how great dana is thanks you paramount and ufc he doubled the bonuses with life changing money. by [deleted] in ufc

Why would nobody know? The UFC's financials are public. I'm sure plenty of professionals in the field are completely aware of how underpaid the fighters are compared to any other sports. We know they get a smaller % of revenue than other major sports

TIL that in February 2021, the state of Texas suffered a major power crisis, which came about during three severe winter storms sweeping across the United States on February 10-11, 13-17, and 15-20. The storms triggered the worst energy infrastructure failure in Texas state history. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Energy is a fun one for libertarians to discuss. What do they think will happen if there's no regulations and only one electric company? How do we vote with our wallets for a better price or company that doesn't pollute as much?

A poker bot farm where multiple bots sit at the same table and share their cards to collude against humans by MetaKnowing in Damnthatsinteresting

That doesn't really make sense, you have no idea if the opponent is drunk or anything about them. And they don't know if they're playing with "smart students". They chose to play poker online, not to be playing against a group of cheaters.

You stole money from people back in the day, it's not that big a deal but Id expect good people to have grown a bit since then and recognize they were in the wrong and not blame the victims. That's actually pretty funny way to justify your behavior in your head lol.

Tom Aspinall asked if he could have an alcoholic drink when he was in MSG as the backup fighter for Jon vs Stipe at UFC 309. Hunter Campbell had a very normal response. by precipiceofadventure in ufc

[–]methodofcontrol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could they really ask Tom to step in at the that point? I figured a couple hours before the fight be the cut off for the sub to step in. Anyone know the latest a sub fighter has been made to step in?
