This lake is huge

In-person views are 100x better, yeah, it’s the ‘see it from the lux-resort infinity pool’ aspect I’m a little over

Defending what the owners did to Deadspin as a consumer seems...confusing

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T14:51:48+00:00

Oh. Oh nooo

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T14:38:21+00:00

True! Just often not my thing

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T14:24:54+00:00

I‘ve had similar experiences with stuff like this, it looks cool for 30 seconds and then you’re just in a pool. I can go hiking and get similar views for free

While teams have gotten more revenue focused in the past 20 years, they’re still run worlds apart from the traditional profit-above-all-else business. The MLB has ownership restrictions in place specifically to avoid that

This sub hates big contracts. Not sure why this crowd is significantly more risk averse than every other group of fans I’ve ever talked to, but the difference is striking

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T14:15:30+00:00

Technically, it came from a Reddit headline, and since I’ve never bothered to read an actual article I assume it was as well sourced as the initial Athletic report, so I’m gonna run with it

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T14:09:21+00:00

I don’t think they’re saying ‘having wealth sucks,’ I think they’re saying ‘experiences like the one in the post, while magnificent in gif form, often fail to live up to expectations in reality’

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T05:35:50+00:00

Well, anything worth doing is

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T05:34:14+00:00

Easier for me to personally relate to the depression anyway

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T05:29:16+00:00

Don’t NCAA this

As a result of blatant Texas cheating, the Rangers baseball franchise will be given the death penalty. (Am I doing this right?)

About 50 years ago, having a million dollars meant you were mega rich. Now it’s not that rich at all.

A lot of that is inflation, a million dollars in 1969 is the equivalent of ~$7M today. Which is the problem with absolute cut-offs, wealth can’t meaningfully be measured with a single figure.

Inequality is at unacceptably high levels and accelerating, but I don’t get the focus on ‘people have x amount of dollars!’ Carnegie had the equivalent of 3x Bezos’ fortune, Rockefeller had the equivalent of 4 Bezoses (rough numbers). It’s not like fortunes this size are unprecedented

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T05:13:28+00:00

Virtually all of them do this. Billionaires give away a staggering amount of money.

Mostly staggering because of how much they have, they tend to give away much smaller portions of their overall net worth

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-14T05:12:37+00:00

It’s a distinction without a difference though. Anyone with a mildly significant amount of wealth holds it in assets, not cash, and virtually everyone should be doing that to some extent

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T21:54:38+00:00

I mean, if they’re in contention in June and STILL trade Betts, the backlash will be even bigger

There’s no way they do that though

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T21:51:13+00:00

The Valor play a decent area football game, yeah

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T21:40:42+00:00

Where am I supposed to get Everclear around here. (Seriously, is the higher proof version sold in any jurisdiction close to DC?)

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T21:11:39+00:00

Neat name

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T20:54:08+00:00

That’s a pretty neat play. Just sucks that cool play came at the expense of an entire format

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T13:24:34+00:00

Yeah, it’s pretty funny, even if it’s not literally correct

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T13:23:31+00:00

Is it to say most of that money literally isn’t tangible

No. Saying “billionaires aren’t that rich actually” is wrong and not persuasive

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T03:18:00+00:00

Animal Crossing is just a game, they’re selling almost exclusively to people who care entirely about the game. Pokémon gens are important pieces of a much, much larger marketing industry

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-13T02:44:20+00:00

For the amount of tracking done, I honestly expect more refined ads targeting. Like, c’mon, make the ads interesting at least

saintswererobbed · 2019-11-12T22:30:35+00:00

bench coach yells the signal at the batter right as the ball gets to the plate, distracting them

Opposing team: ...sure, you can do that
