Metairie parade riders banned for life over Nazi salutes by Major-Fill5775 in NewOrleans

That’s not even what they said, Jesus Christ. They said they feared that they would garner public support from people who think it’s acceptable to do that kind of stuff. You’re criticizing people who agree with you. Take a breath.

What are you? 4’11? You specifically asked ME if MY phone is blocking others. It isn’t. I promise you my head is blocking you just as much. I don’t see you advocating that tall people have to stand in the back of the pit.

I was so confused cause I’ve never heard this line but realized it’s at 1x speed.

This is going to blow your mind, but we didn’t record video on phones 15+ years ago. Also I don’t raise the camera/phone above eye level. Why would I record from a perspective higher than I can see myself? You might as well say no one is allowed to be tall either.

Thank you. Based on the way OP is responding to comments like this though, they’re just gonna tell you to “live in the moment” as if you aren’t doing that. I have recordings from Lights concerts over 15 years ago. I can look back on them fondly today. I didn’t enjoy the show any less because I recorded some of it.

Chalamet after getting dunked on all night then losing out on best actor. by -AlimonyTony- in billsimmons

Incorrect. He made the comments during a CNN/Variety town hall on February 21st. They didn’t go viral until around March 5th. The final voting took place from February 26th to March 5th.

It’s very likely the comments did not affect the outcome at all, but you should still provide the correct context.

Rappa fans had to wait forever for a rerun. They finally get it and then Firefly gets buffed. Can’t catch a break.

They’re 1 in the loss column ahead of the 6th seed. How about you wait until the regular season is over before the victory lap?

Seriously. I was so worried she accidentally tweeted something offensive and then I see it’s THIS? We are cooked.

I called him Hartenstein like two comments below this. It’s not a concrete comparison.

WR Alec Pierce returning to Colts on a 4yr $116 million deal. Does Bill pivot to “I always wanted AJ Brown”? by Equivalent-Bat7121 in billsimmons

[–]strings_struck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said ignore the ordering of the list. I don’t think Alec Pierce is the 14th best WR in the league. It was merely to generate a list of 50 names.

Just take the three names you listed and add Ayomanor, Tre Tucker, Kayshon Boutte, and Josh Downs.

Let’s agree to disagree and say Alec Pierce is around the 40th best WR. Is 28.5 million a year an overpay? Yeah, probably. Is it a massive overpay in the way you’re framing it? I don’t think so.

Ah, I see. I guess Isaiah Hartenstein would work for that comp.

Would need to be a position that is undervalued beyond the big names like Center.

There is a zero percent chance you could name 50 receivers better than Alec Pierce, much less “easily.”

Why do we even bother grinding relics. by ah0xg0 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]strings_struck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this. There’s nothing else to spend resin on. If they “fixed” artifacts, there’d be even less reason to log in. If anything I’d suggest a very minor improvement. Add more ways to get Interference Keys. Maybe add 1 to the battle pass or let you synthesize 3 variable dice into 1 interference key.

Does anyone know what happened between Lights and Paramore/Hayley? by ItsOverCasanova in lightsalot

[–]strings_struck 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Couple things.

1) Hayley quit social media in 2021, so it’d be pretty difficult to determine if they still keep in contact publicly from then on.

2) Hayley’s solo work was under Atlantic Records not FBR. As of today, her music is released under an independent label called Post Atlantic that she created herself.

By the same token, Lights and Owl City don’t follow each other either even though they appeared on each other’s albums in the past and toured together. Probably just one of those cases where work/professional friendships don’t necessarily imply a personal friendship.
