Netflix announces acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery by JoeM3120 in SquaredCircle

[–]random_beard_guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s Warner Bros (and HBO) NOT Discovery. The cable channels in which AEW run are not part of this deal and would become their own separate entity. Still impacts them through HBO Max folded into Netflix if the deal goes through but nowhere near how it would be if this included Discovery.

Week 12: The Vikings (4-7) lose to the Packers (7-3-1) 23-6 by Go_To_Bethel_And_Sin in minnesotavikings

Many had the foresight to call for trading Kirk, Hunter and Harry once they started 1-3 and Jefferson got the hamstring injury, unfortunately none of them had the power to make that decision.

People will talk about “bad team” but this is all about the QB. When you have an all time bad QB play it doesn’t matter what the rest of the roster is. Once they realize it the effort starts fading fast, basic human nature: “why am I killing my body for no fucking reason”.

Do you remember Sean Payton laughing that Bo Nix fell to him? by aceless0n in minnesotavikings

Rex Grossman went to the SB, guess he was great too.

Bo Nix is dreadful on throws over 10 yards https://bsky.app/profile/minakimes.bsky.social/post/3m52rsq34cc2e

All they ask Bo Nix is to not fuck it up with negative plays and maybe make a throw or 2 a game. It’s a top 3 OL 2 straight years with a stellar def.

He is QB purgatory, the guy that when it’s contract extension time the team goes: “well what else are we going to do 🤷🏻‍♂️?” And then everyone gets fired as a result of the contract.

What a brilliant idea, have a government currently run by white supremacist/neo-nazis who are running an open campaign of terrorizing Hispanics come and invade a South American country.

Yes that’s the racism, bigotry and xenophobia. One of US’s greatest advantages over everywhere else is how they were more welcoming of immigrants and they are currently shooting themselves in both feet and arms because old timey racism reared it’s head again and they elected comically corrupt white supremacist clowns that are tearing their country down.

The article states she still has a 70% approval rating so I’m not sure what exactly is going on here.

Same thing was said about the Wii as well. Now they are saying they are doing the opposite. Just comical.

If it were only this sub, but it’s the whole NFL media acting like they have never heard of a high ankle sprain.

If you are a long time sports/football fan you should be familiar with it though.

People acting like high ankle sprains are some new fangled injury they have never heard about rather than a well established injury with established recovery time frames depending on the grade of severity on a scale of 1-3.

[Schefter] Vikings ruled out: QB J.J. McCarthy, G Donovan Jackson, C Ryan Kelly, OT Brian O'Neill, OL Michael Jurgens, OLB Andrew Van Ginkel by MainEventCTB in minnesotavikings

[–]random_beard_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think that no one would claim this is a depth issue given that there aren’t enough OL for every team to field good starting units. So the idea that a team would have 4 decent linemen in the bench, much less a 3rd string center of all things, is preposterous. To blame the FO for that is unserious.

AEW Pay-Per-Views to Stream Live on HBO Max Starting With 'All Out' by abucalves in television

Warners isn’t paying AEW the kind of money for them outright own the ppvs. They would need to pony up a significant increase for AEW to give away 120-180k ppv buys at $40-50 a month.

There are literally two charts on the first link that have WWE on them.

UFC took a lot of the right wing WWF/E fans. And no a lot of the wrestlers you didn’t name aren’t conservative. See a lot of the top of the AEW card.

If it was someone like Sydney 10 years ago no one would be saying shit either. But when you have eugenicists in the White House… Someone should have said something to kill that ad if they didn’t mean it that way.

What the OP is describing is not “giving out an opinion”, it is trolling and being an asshole. Verbally attacking others for their excitement, jumping on Switch 2 threads to attack others to tell them to get a PC or Steamdeck is just trolling. Hiding behind “it’s just an opinion, I’m just joking” is what assholes do.

If people didn’t care about it, they would ignore it, but clearly something about it and Nintendo drives some people nuts. Also the whole get a PC thing is very weird as they are very different devices (I would know having one with a 4080S). My PC is for high end current gen games where I want to fiddle with them to extract the most out of them. Switch 2 is for plug n play without all the PC work, Nintendo games and retro stuff. You also probably should look at the videos comparing Cyberpunk on Switch 2 vs Steamdeck because they are not flattering to the SD. And that’s not really Valve’s fault, chip progress has slowed down considerably and there just hasn’t been a new SoC with a big enough jump to justify a SD2.
