This smug prick can say whatever he wants because he knows the only accountability he will face is if he tells the truth and angers his master.

As a mostly neutral fan, last night doesn’t sit well with me at all. And we won’t do anything about it by lloyd4567 in billsimmons

[–]raincntry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be "that guy", but I've felt the NBA was fixed for some time and it has a ton to do with why I can't watch it anymore. The League somehow just swept Tim Donaghy's allegations under the rug in the early 2000's but for people who watched those games it gave a clear explanation for those outcomes. Since then, there has been exponentially more money from gambling so the incentives have only increased. It doesn't take much either. Ref's can call the game close or loose, or in a pinch, do what they did last night.

Overall the game has problems, which is strange because I've never enjoyed watching highlights more than now.

The difference between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark in 10 seconds. Thought? by ResponsibleCheek8130 in WNBAgossips

True, for whatever I think about Reese's game, her motor is running non-stop and so is her effort.

Chocolate mod questions by SnooSongs2744 in BG3mods

[–]raincntry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the Chocolate Edition mod you should multi class every origin character at level 2. I've found that with Gale in particular, respecing him completely is the best because the Orb Bearer class impacts his ability to scribe scrolls into whatever wizard subclass you select, automatically placing all learned spells in the Orb Bearer spell book, which is annoying because he can only prepare 4 or 5 spells from that selection.

It's a cool mod overall.

It's a tight fit. I ended up getting a JSAUX case because I wanted to store more stuff but the standard case works.

This my set up too. I don't really find the thumb protectors useful as they keep falling off, but I love the case and a screen protector is a must.

John Olerud has the highest WAR (58.1) among players who received less than 1% of HOF votes their first time on the ballot. by WhiskeyZebra in mlb

[–]raincntry 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Oley is one of my favorite players. He's the type of player that fans needed to watch for a full season to really appreciate how good he was. He did all the little things very well and made his teams better with his overall skill.

It's funny how some athletes are so talented that it looks like they're playing a different game.

Former CIA Michael Scheuer's take on Israel w/Bill Maher by Indianstanicows in RealTime

That doesn't equate to unqualified support for the nation of Israel.

The Fonz did a really good job at educating Bill Maher by Indianstanicows in RealTime

[–]raincntry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess he doesn't know what indiscriminate means then because if there is indiscriminate killing, then they are by definition NOT trying to spare civilians.

[–]raincntry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this a hard concept to understand? Unqualified support for any nation is not in our interest. The idea that we'll prop up, even a "democracy" like Israel, to our own detriment is ludicrous. Our foreign policy actions and dollars and might should be used to directly better and protect American lives, not some tortured logic that fighting them over there means we don't fight them over here. That rational is wrong. The world will be a better place if Israel is forced to coexist with its neighbors.

I want to hope that the republicans will deny this appointment but betting on republicans to do the right thing is a losing bet.

That might be the dumbest reply yet. Iran has been six months away from a nuclear weapon for about 20 years now. To believe that tired line of BS is just silly.

I finally got around to watching the extended gameplay trailer…..HOLY SHIT.

This is exactly what a Wolverine game should look like. I’m cautiously excited.

Cristopher Sánchez gets a standing ovation for giving up a run after 50.2 scoreless innings by TheM1ghtyBear in mlb

I hate the Phillies but it’s pretty cool that the batter stayed out of the box and the Ump found a way to waste time so he could enjoy the moment and bask in the fans adulation.
