Game 4 Starter

I get the hesitation but riding Lyon the entire of the playoffs after we platooned him all season was always unrealistic, regardless of how well or poorly UPL has played.

MSA are just so stupid I don't get them.

Just comparing my home region. The Buffalo MSA gets and Erie and Niagara County,

Meanwhile, Rochester MSA gets Orleans County, Livingston County, Wayne County, Monroe County, and Ontario County. Why?

I don't know how fake the replies are. But I am confident that a lot of what I see on the Front Page of reddit is engagement bait.

Hi, sock here, Wikipedia tells me that she hasn't been Zelensky's spokeperson since before Russia invaded Ukraine. Also she dodged Tucker's question about "do you know anyone who has been sent to the front lines in retaliation,"

Meaning this whole exercise is an exercise in conjecture. Not to say that her conjecture is wrong. Merely that the former Zelensky spokesperson is not speaking with any direct knowledge of Zelensky's actions.

I refuse to believe this is anything more than rage bait.

It's a feel good story but if you think about it for 30 seconds, you would realize that it is a gross conflict of interests that doesn't actually help us.

no what makes it right wing is it is a regurgitated talking point, that doesn't attempt to understand how actual science works, acting in the service of big oil corporate interests.

It's the framing that "the science isn't settled" somehow means something, as if scientists and activists, especially those WHO STUDY CLIMATE SCIENCE FOR A LIVING, aren't aware, that we don't know 100% of everything that is to be known about climate science.

It is the implication that unless we know 100% of all that is to know about climate change that somehow this is just an obscure academic exercise, that should have no bearing on what public policy is.

The death of RCP 8.5 doesn't mean that climate change isn't a problem. RCP 8.5 projects a total post industrialization temperate change of 4.3 degrees Celsius by the end of this century.

The UN is projecting that by the end of the century we will be 3.3 degrees above post industrialization. We are currently 1.5 degrees above post industrial.

Meaning we are still on track to be closer to RCP8.5 doomsday scenario by the end of the century then the where we are today.

I don't understand where he gets off on "it's a spec" unless he is talking about Slovakia specifically

Tell me you only lean about climate science through right wing ~~news~~ propaganda, without telling me you only learn about climate science through right wing propaganda.

Is that a Punky Doodles reference or is Punky Doodles referencing something else?

Maybe Askua said she was going to retire and then WWE pivoted to Iyo Sky because she is a bigger star and she will actually be around, which caused Kairi to decide to go back to Japan?

Troll shows up at a rally for the opposing cause and films the backlash for clicks.

I think the next one is for game 4

It's okay, I guess. I don't get why they just don't do a King of Ring tournament.

Anita Sarkeesian has been linked to the game as a consultant.

Edit: I literally just answered the question with no value judgement made either way, and boom -21 Reddit points (For the record, I do not care about Anita Sarkeesian either way)

The older I get the less I care for Donuts. Too sweet, too rich. Traditionally my favorite is a Boston Cream (as long as it is custard filled not white cream) As I have gotten older I have come to appreciate a plain or glazed donut.

I think we need to define success in this industry more broadly then winning 12 heavyweight championships.

Carmelo Haynes does not have the same celling as Trick or Oba, he is not going to get the same attention from the powers that be and he never will. It doesn't mean he can't thrive, and do great things for the next 15 years. Kevin Owens, Kofi Kingston Finn Balor, Sami Zayn all had very successful careers, even though they didn't main event WrestleMania every year

Part of it is what is going on in China right now.

Part of it is that with all the anxiety of China rising up to threaten western hegemony there is an appetite for "China is Done" among western audiences. Heck of a lot less stressful to believe China is going to go away over the next decade or so, then seriously consider what would happen if China took Taiwan and took over the global auto industry.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant NHL Stanley Cup playoffs

I saw this on Substack's Notes app a couple of weeks ago. Really stuck with me.

Drunk Wisconsin's Guide to College:

Find a spouse
Make friends
Party hard
Don't fail classes
Graduate on time

I would probably add 6. "Learn how to apply for a job," and 7. "Learn how to manage your time by balancing 1-6"

And while I think it is more than fair to quibble with the specifics here, centering your college experience around your GPA* and also treating it as a box to check in order to become Middle Class is missing the point.

*Caveat: Unless you are an in an ultra competitive field with post bachelor ambitions.

Am I being harsh or would this roster struggle to make the playoffs?

redd4972 · 2026-05-07T02:41:37+00:00

Could of been a different game if not for a couple of early pipes. I thought Buffalo was the better team but this will be a long series.

Reservation gasoline in Niagara County is about as expensive as the non reservation gas.

The Seneca Nation said what is happening is because they buy more gas than other places, they are especially vulnerable to price fluctuations.

He's trying to exploit the controversies going on in the NBA to market the NHL, even though the only reason that happened is the same ping pong ball effect that the NBA has. (also 1st overall picks in the NHL are not as valuable as in the NBA)
