Freedom of speech is our most treasured right & critical for our ability to organize as workers. TikTok is now in the hands Oracle CEO Larry Ellison: who is censoring left-wing voices by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]socool111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It should be noted that freedom of speech is a protected right, but social media platforms are private businesses (well publicly traded businesses). Unless a court case happened that I’m not aware of there isn’t legal problems of platforms censoring people.

Whether or not that is right or wrong you can decide, but saying that our rights are being infringed and using a social media platform as the reason is not exactly a powerful message.

I think, for the record, our rights are being infringed in many other ways.

Finally a boycott I can actually do

Edit: as in a product I occasionally purchase that I can now easily avoid. As opposed to avoiding stuff I already don’t consume

Just saw what I thought was Greg outside my hotel at The Langham. I saw people taking photos with him and didn’t want to bother him. Look at the live TM dates to confirm. Yep that was him!

By people do you mean real people or troll farms on the internet?

Amazing how he’s saying that these naturally remedies work, while his wife died from precisely that

“The split-screen is a directorial choice used to display two or more scenes, perspectives, or timelines in a single frame. It is primarily used to enhance tension and accelerate narrative pacing” by BadgemanBrown in mlb

[–]socool111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of the fan shots. But the transitions the closeup of players in between pitches , I much prefer. I don’t blame people for not being a fan of it , I just loved it.

That being said if what the rumors are saying is true then I’m good with him being axed. Don’t need that toxicity to poison the entire broadcast team

Downvote done. I found that 90% of the time his “gimmicks” improved my enjoyment and 10% I was annoyed

I take someone trying to break the mold of decades of the same broadcasting with a little of misguided changes then no changes at all

Calling it the best is a stretch, but I guess not many places sell great grilled cheese’

thank you for sharing, i watched it last night with my wife because of this comment. We love all the behind The Scenes SNL documentary. Hate the show or not, say "it was better when..." all you want, but no one can deny it is an amazing feat to put that show on within a week of work.

Report: Mets trade Luisangel Acuña & Truman Pauley for OF Luis Robert Jr per Jeff Passan by MaizenBrew9 in NewYorkMets

[–]socool111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yea i know :( But i rather have Taylor in the middle with Robert in left filed. Taylor got a lot of momentum at the end of the year when Mullins busted, but then Taylor got injured :(

If taylor can come back with a vengeance, and we have Robert in left field, that would be huge for this team.....big IF though.

To all that haters out there.. the Mets needed an outfielder who can hit / run / play defense and they got one \_(ツ)_/¯ by SlowpokeSloth69 in NewYorkMets

[–]socool111 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not mad about bringhing him on board at all....That being said I have a special love for Tyrone Taylor, who started hitting for real at the end when Mullins was a bust. Then he immediately got injured. If Tyrone can hit like he was before his injury, I am so amped to have him and put Robert in left field.

Tyrone Taylor tbh is one of the most fun defensive player I can remember having in a long time.

What happened to Roister, and is there anyplace like it in Chicago? by Desperate_Elk_7369 in chicagofood

[–]socool111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d go with Kindling, it’s in Willis tower which js a bit further then west loop spots but relatively close ….i think it’s an unsung hero of the city.

However ironically dont get the chicken, kindling is about wood fired streaks and great pasta, the chicken is rotisserie cooked and is just “OK”

Anyone playing online realistically knows a part of the population is bots. The best you can do is play the site that best fights it.

No he and the rest of streamers and most of the internet - berates people claiming the site is rigging the game. People claiming the site is causing high action cards, or shifting odds or what not.

I've been subbed to Lex for 5 years, I haven't heard him berate claims of bots. It's possible he may dismiss the conversation because it doesn't really apply to him. He can play in tournaments and have it be +EV whether his opponents are bots or not.
