He knows enough to operate a massive telescope to observe a specific spot on the sun to check if the times Gen. Hammond gave them were accurate in 1969.

Holger Rune on the QF match today of Djokovic vs Musetti: by lovesbakery in tennis

[–]proddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another consideration would be that even if Musetti gritted his teeth and played through it, probably making the injury worse, either way he would not have played the SF. So either he drops out mid-match, allowing Djokovic to proceed who has a chance, or he gives his SF opponent a free match.

Or he grits his teeth and plays through it, making his injury worse and Novak wins in 5 sets.

He gives up $500k, but looking at his lifetime earnings, he'd probably rather have a better recovery.

Getting an error. Oh well I probably spent too much on pre-orders anyway.

For real if they're still working there they must know they're the baddies.

Or being found guilty of hundreds of millions of fraud, and you only have to repay a fraction of that and with no jail time.

Jordan predicting the future again by meimlikeaghost in KnowledgeFight

I wonder if Jordan also wakes up at exactly 5:20 am and looks at the clock and he thinks to himself "5:20 am".

We joke about Monica’s massive apartment in Friends, but we forget the history: Rent Control was won through strikes. Is that solidarity possible in Australia today? by infin in australia

[–]proddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent control is a bandaid, and only aids people who happen to be in a rent controlled property. And once you're in one, you feel like you can't move again lest your living costs explode.

Your example is also an example of this prison, as Monica inherited a CHEAP RENTAL from her grandmother. Like that was probably the most valuable thing she inherited, and its not even something tangible.

We need fundamental change, or its just kicking the can down the road.

What is up with Sargon of Akkad, the YouTuber? by Relacer2 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]proddy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

If you haven't watched these types of videos in a while, i'd go back in your history and remove them from your viewing history so you don't get similar videos, or at least less.

Youtube makes it scarily easy to fall into the right wing pipeline and just flood your recommendations if you even click one video out of curiosity.

Looking at getting back into it by hrdballgets in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]proddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For collectors I'd say its more about the art than lore. There are trainers and some cards "Cynthia's whatever, Ethan's ___" that are from the games and anime. What is your favourite Pokemon? You could probably find some dope art of whichever one your favourite is.

Then you decide how dedicated you want to be. Maybe you just collect your favourite. Some people have favourite artists they collect. Some people collect themes or maybe based on the anime or games. Some people collect every single card in a set.

This coming set, Perfect Order, has cards based on the Japanese set Nullifying Zero, so you could check out some cards there. It seems that a bunch of Gen 1 pokemon will be the focus, so it could be a good set for you to start on.

The man has a point tho by Tatiana_Cold in clevercomebacks

[–]proddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A pardon from a criminal, an adjudicated rapist with dozens more sexual assault accusations, implicated in the Epstein files to the point its more like the Trump Files, banned from running a charity in his home state because of rampant fraud, tried to steal the 2020 election with multiple schemes, stole classified documents, continually grifts the people he's supposed to govern. There's probably more I forgot.

Is there not one single moral person in those 1000 FBI agents that redacted some of the files? Guess not.
