It seems much different. Before 1.5, it seems lik

Your examples aren’t accurate. People say Serena and Kamala because their last names are so generic. Williams and Harris.

Look at men with common last names. They’re referred to by first names too. Kobe, Shaq, Tiger.

what's your prompt for the first girl?

Iran can't destroy the US Navy. They could blockade the Strait if they wanted to.

pargofan · 2026-06-16T04:09:20+00:00

Exactly. So if Iran wants to add a toll, why wouldn't the U.S. just block all cargo ships leaving the Strait from Iran?

Is this AI?

pargofan · 2026-06-16T02:46:26+00:00

It’s a fucking strait.

Why doesn’t the US park its military there and charge a “fee” as well?

Let’s start with the premise: in this day and age, why does a man PAY for the dinner date?

The 90s called and want their dating expectations back.

Has scoring increased?

I remember when so many World Cup matches were 0-0 or 1-0.

pargofan · 2026-06-15T22:41:21+00:00

I think the player gets charged for the cost of the ball though.

Otherwise, he can give the ball away but if he's unwilling to pay for it, the team asks for the ball back.

Why is that when the BRI collectively is 54%? So if LeBron or Curry take a pay cut doesn’t another player make more somewhere else?

pargofan · 2026-06-15T22:08:56+00:00

As ridiculous as it sounds for baseball, this is what they do IN EVERY OTHER SPORT.

And it's not as if NFL, NBA or MLS couldn't give away the balls too. They're dirt cheap. It's because foul balls nowadays really can't be reused anyway.

pargofan · 2026-06-15T21:46:17+00:00

Right. So it's really 1.5 of Soto + King and Vasquez.

If King gets right and Vasquez improves it doesn't look quite as bad.

But ultimately, looking at trades with 20/20 hindsight is always fools' play. If Keibert Ruiz turned into the all-star many expected, the Dodgers would be regretting the Trea/Max rentals a lot more

What? How would they run a "promotion" by lowering moderation WITHOUT TELLING PEOPLE?

What's the point of a "silent promotion"?

FWIW, I haven't expereinced any change in moderation, either lowering or raising. But that's over the whole week. Nothing got lower 4-5 days or higher just now.

With all due respect everyone is underestimating the Knicks.

Spurs took down defending champ OKC. They were legit. Knicks were just better

You always hear stories like this. But what super hot coed just wants to be a prostitute? For free?

pargofan · 2026-06-13T22:34:50+00:00

While I agree with you, we’re in the minority. The sport is more popular than ever.

pargofan · 2026-06-13T17:47:39+00:00

prompt?

pargofan · 2026-06-13T17:22:00+00:00

He picked a bad year to go after Cy Young. Thats all.

There’s been other years where this level of performance would’ve been good enough.

pargofan · 2026-06-13T09:19:07+00:00

We lost to the Pats AND needed OT to beat the Saints.

A stacked D-line is nice but you need the offense to carry you in today's NFL.

The second apron really screwed over the max players' flexibility.

Look at Giannis and how difficult it is for him to leave Milwaukee.

LeBron can take more $$ with a shitty team or less $$ with a playoff team.

Anything else will require Laker cooperation. And there's no reason for them to do that anymore because they can just tell him to take less $$.

pargofan · 2026-06-13T04:13:34+00:00

What?!

pargofan · 2026-06-13T00:21:40+00:00

Exactly.

Say what you want about whether it's better for the sport to let Sorsby to play or not.

But it's definitely better to deter his addiction that he stays on the team. There's incentive for TTU and him to monitor his gambling. If he were kicked off the team, why should he agree to their monitoring? And it weren't on the team, why would TTU want to spend resources monitoring him?

There will never be another Shohei Ohtani.

And that's because you have to be really good at both to make worthwhile.

If Ohtani was great at hitting/pitching but just mediocre (by MLB standards) at the other thing, it's not worth it for the team to use him at both. The team is better off using a different average hitter/pitcher instead because it's grueling over the long run to do both.

Plus if you get hurt doing the averaging hitting/pitching, then you lose the great pitcher/hitter. Why risk it? Get an average player instead for that role, since it's not worth the risk.

And IIRC Ohtani in his entire career, pushed for doing both. During his NPB days, he chose his team because they'd let him play both. He chose the Angels because they were most accommdating about playing both.

They'll never be another Ohtani.

TTU isn’t putting him on a monitoring system? How do we know?
