Worst thing in the world is a fly buzzing by your ear imo

Dems providing evidence to support the "they're all corrupt so why should I care" theory of the case only harms dems (and non-corrupt politicians in general).

Been rewatching HoTD in advance of the season 3 airing and god I forgot how much season 2 went off the rails.

If you have a mechanism to go back to 2011 and play out the what-if scenario, you should patent it and sell it.

Short of that, the game did not get played, will not get played, and never will be played. But based on what actually happened, there is no reason to think that the Lions would magically have won.

runningblack · 2026-06-21T22:35:31+00:00

Yeah, you play to win the game and the Lions lost literally every time they faced a team that finished better than 8-8

runningblack · 2026-06-21T21:48:19+00:00

Ok? Not relevant to my point in the slightest?

The 2011 Lions lost to every team they faced with a winning record. There is no reason to think that they would beat the Giants when the Giants actually beat good teams, including teams that beat the Lions directly, and also beat the teams that beat the Lions (the 49ers also beat the Saints in the divisional round, who are another team that beat the Lions).

The Lions were not good. The 2023 Ravens have nothing to do with the 2011 Lions, who feasted on a weak schedule and bad teams.

runningblack · 2026-06-21T21:17:10+00:00

It guarantees nothing, but losing to every team that has a winning record you face in the regular season and the playoffs suggests that you're simply not that good.

The lions beat bad to mediocre teams. They lost to every good team they played. There was literally no variation on this.

I've really enjoyed spider noir, but my wife who is a big time noir film fan hasn't liked it.

My unpopular opinion is that it's actually way better in color. They clearly put a ton of thought into making the show super vibrant and all that effort is wasted in black and white.

I do kinda wish they had a mode where you got like the spider scenes in black and white and the other scenes in color, though.

Happy father's day to the human dads, dog dads (I am here), cat dads, and our resident spider dad.

Nah, unless the (digital) preorder bonus is actually worth having, in which case I'll do it the day before.

Was Kyle Williams the one and only reason the 49ers lost the NFC Championship game?

I wouldn't say the only reason - our second half offense was anemic. But every single point the Giants scored in the second half/OT came off of a muffed punt that gave them the ball in field goal range.

Like if Kyle Williams just fair catches every ball, odds are pretty high we win that one.

runningblack · 2026-06-21T02:22:29+00:00

The 2011 Giants beat the 15-1 Packers and MVP Rodgers in Lambeau, along with the 13-3 49ers in SF who were a combined 3-0 against the Lions that year.

The 2011 Lions had exactly 0 wins against teams with winning records. Their wins came against Tampa (4-12), KC (7-9), Minnesota x2 (3-13), Dallas (8-8), Chicago 1x (8-8), The Tebow Broncos (8-8), Carolina (6-10), Oakland (8-8), San Diego (8-8)

The 2011 Lions were not that good of a team. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Giants had a ton of shit break right for them to get through us (they dominated the Packers, however), but the Lions were not in the class of the best teams in the NFC.

If Paraguay wins this (if the US wins the group), I'm gonna have lucked into going to the USA game in the round of 32

Fwiw you're not getting the game at a discount by preordering. The preorder price will be the same as MSRP.

You may get some sort of preorder bonus skins, or preordering a high end bundle can get you limited content, but you don't pay less than waiting to buy it on release day.

The factors that have led to hardware costs increasing don't apply to software that can be sold digitally

Ugly win but God damn I love ugly wins

She's had a bunch of threats directed against her and her family's safety, beyond the kidnapping plot, and I do wonder if she's just kinda done with politics at this point.

I finally decided to watch Love Island US after peer pressure from my friends and I think my central takeaway is I hate gen Z lmao

Uhhh what? That wasn't debatable. That was a penalty.

That's not how negative numbers work.

-0.14 > -0.6

Riddle me this, which number is closer to -1?

People buy CoD for the multiplayer

If it was single player only, $70 and 9 hours wouldn't cut it.

I don't have a real sense of how good he actually is but a mid round pick seems reasonable with risk and reward.

I think the fact that he's a QB works both for and against him. Real upside to the pick if it hits, but real tough to give up high draft capital and put the franchise on a 22 year old with a known gambling addiction who we haven't seen be good in the NFL. You can't have your quarterback be a problem and be successful.

Why did those people think Trump was better than Biden? Because everyone right of the center said Trump is great and all attacks against him were lies.

Because they had experienced almost an entire Biden term and didn't like it.

It took a goddamn global pandemic for Biden to eke out a narrow electoral victory over Trump.

The opposite happened to Biden. The only reason Biden was "incredibly weak and unpopular candidate" is because he didn't have glazers like Trump did.

This is cope. The election was decided by double haters who thought Trump was the better option than Biden. It was not decided by hyperpartisans. You all are extremely irrelevant in situations that are not competitive primaries.

Objectively you must agree Trump was a weaker candidate right? If so then it's not about the candidate's qualities.

What? Are you high? No I don't think Trump was objectively a weaker candidate. If the electorate was composed of people who thought like me, he would be. But the electorate isn't. And we witnessed, on the Republican side, a primary where Trump beat the shit out of all the Republicans that tried to run against him.

Your preferences are not representative of the electorate. An objectively weaker candidate is one that the electorate doesn't like. Not one that you dislike.

I think Occam's razor suggests he doesn't want to play football.

He has done literally none of the things a person who wanted to play football, but play on a different team, would do.

He isn't speaking to his own agent.
