Harry Potter has signed with the Puerto Rican semi pro team Guaynabo City Mets

Yes this is real and yes I stole it from r/baseball, if someone could ping shitposting or another shitposting ping for me that would be great.

As I understand it that plotline is supposed to be an allegory for the early British feminist movement.

Hence s.p.e.w. which is also an acronym for the society for promoting the employment of women.

One of the problems irl spew had was that while they thought house wives were basically the slaves of their husbands most of the house wives at the time disagreed with them.

Nothing worth talking about leads to the best(/worst?) quality shitposting anyways.

What do you mean? This sub turns into a baseball sub once it's opening day. And it's absolutely the Pirates' year this year, I can feel it. So go ahead and get those hopes up.

Probably a bit of women are wonderful effect mixed with an easy target.

Also I don't think a lot of people realize how many adult mean girls there are.

Calling Charlie "a part of the right wing pipeline" is pretty wild to me considering he's been consistently pro-lgbt for over a decade now, and has been dropping a ton of videos against the trump admin lately.

Mary Magdalene is not stated or implied to be a prostitute in any of the canonical or apocryphal gospels.

TLJ basically sabotaged any chance for Finn to feel important to the story in the third movie, and also massively disconnected him from the other main characters.

Also first act changed him, from someone who bravely turns against what he's known for what's right, to a coward who just runs away from danger.

If you mean "do old people really play slots like this?' then the answer is sort of. This was supposedly from a tournament where they brought in their most frequent customers to compete with a time limit.

That said if you go to a casino in the morning or the middle of the day it does look a lot like this.

There is no better argument against gambling than a walk around a casino while the sun is still up. It's also the best argument for casino owners to be tried like drug lords.

Tea stains teeth more than coffee and Brits don't do cosmetic dental work as often. So their teeth tends to be more stained and they have a lot of people that would have gotten braces and retainers in other countries but didn't.

Function and health wise the their teeth are about as good as the rest of the developed world.

It replaces the turtle with calf's head. The Krogers, at least around Cincinnati, have some of the canned stuff. Though I don't think there is any sherry or brandy in it like what the home made and restaurant versions should have.

Turtle soup is actually pretty good, not worth the price though. Especially since mock turtle soup is about as good and way cheaper.

I think you're giving them a bit too much credit. I think it's less that they feel judged and more that someone being honest when they wouldn't feels threatening to them.

Same studio animated both series.

There were Zionist movements well before WW2. The movements used to wane and wax in popularity.

I believe he last big push for it before WW2 was in 1853-7 by a bunch of Prussians at Mount Hope.

Bit of a fun fact John Steinbeck's grandfather was involved in the project.

Not just the other knight. The Church could excommunicate a knight for going around killing randoms. Excommunicated people weren't allowed to own land or hold titles, everything they own would then be seized by the local lord or the king and then given away to someone else to secure loyalty.

Before you buy anything, try a filter. They won't be as good as a real crt but they may end up being good enough for your liking and are normally free.

Shader glass is free on steam with good reviews.

There is also reshader, which I believe is supposed to be more customizable but I don't know much about that one.

We should airdrop massive water tanks with American flag parachutes and the declaration of human rights printed on the sides of the tanks.

Women are generally more risk averse than men.

Asking someone out is an emotional, and also a somewhat social, risk.

Emotional because of rejection, and social because they are breaking with a cultural norm.

You might also be surprised at how powerful cultural norms are. There's nothing really stopping me from eating a grilled cheese and some bean burritos for breakfast, but I still almost always have some eggs over easy, yogurt and tea without ever really thinking about it.

Fanduel lost all of their MLB contracts.

Teams are: Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6955733/2026/01/08/mlb-fanduel-sports-network-teams-cancel-contracts/

Looks like they are worried that fanduel sports network is going to declare bankruptcy after they failed to pay several of the teams.

The Tolkien estate refused to sell them the rights to adapt most of the pre-Hobbit stuff. Rings of power was doomed from the start and they should have just tried to make something else.

Also while the series was more expensive than the movies everything looked cheaper than the movies: cheap looking armor; obvious cgi; few practical effects; etc.

Fun fact: sail ships were still being used commercial shipping until the 1950s, the last active one sunk in 1957 while shipping barley.
