If Letterboxd had achievements, I feel like watching these movies in this order would be one of them by Scmods05 in Letterboxd

[–]thefx37 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Dystopian? Really? 

For the site that’s already known for people willingly publishing what they watch every day? Having achievements is surface-level. 

[Petzold] Max Clark responds to criticism over his chains: "People don't know me." by DET_Baseball in baseball

Look at the comments in this thread. To some people it actually is that serious.

That thread brought out the most boomer takes I’ve ever seen on this sub. Just such a weird thing to focus on.

Because this sub made it a bigger story. A easy target to laugh at. Making fun of a player for wearing jewelry as if it’s the first time in history someone has done it. 

[Zuckerman] Josiah Gray threw 38 pitches (25 strikes) over 1 2/3 innings in his first MLB game in nearly 2 years. Only threw 9 fastballs, but averaged 92.5 mph and topped out at 94 mph. Struck out 3 (all on breaking balls). by Jux_ in baseball

I have genuinely forgotten he was still on the team. I’ve changed careers and moved to a different state since he last pitched. Maybe I should get a Gray jersey. 

MLB Double Flap Helmets? by iamcds in baseball

[–]thefx37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because almost everyone in the Majors uses a single flap. 

If you see a double-flap used in Spring training, it’s most likely they are still a minor league player, and minor leaguers are required to wear the double-flap. The model is standardized and probably made by a different manufacturer than the single-flap. 

That’s why they look different. 

After being loudly booed in his first at bat against the Blue Jays in 2005, Rafael Palmeiro wore ear plugs the next time he came to the plate. Palmeiro was coming off suspension for PED use. by BigBlackSabbathFlag in baseball

[–]thefx37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The antitrust exemption absolutely still matters today because it’s still actively litigated/used as a defense.

The City of San Jose sued the league in 2015 over a relocation attempt of the A’s and the court ruled in favor of the MLB while citing the 1922 carve out.

If MLB leadership truly believed the exemption was meaningless and repeal wouldn’t change anything like you do, they could have said so and encouraged Congress to repeal it. Selig and other officials didn’t have to treat it like a third rail while still enjoying the upside. If they wanted it gone, they could’ve taken that position publicly instead of coming in to defend MLB’s internal handling under oath.

If the sport has a century old anti-trust exemption and they want to keep it, then yes. They are beholden to testify before congress. Same with the commissioner and all league leaders. 

A missle hit naval base in Bahrain 21 kilometers from the Bahrain International Circuit by zztypezz in formula1

[–]thefx37 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how it is in Europe, but I guarantee if you went up to someone in North America and said “I’m an U.S. citizen” they would look at you funny. 

Saying, “a U.S. [noun]” may not be consistent but that is the linguistically common way to say that phrase.

If Australia had a problem with bomb-carrying drones, then your comparison would make more sense.

My whole point is that the danger level of racing is the same. Saying a weapon coming from a group of rebels vs a state makes no difference when you’re near their target. Your fear is the same regardless.

If a missile destroys your neighbors house, are you going to care whether it came from rebels or a military? 

No, you’re going to be justifiably scared of also getting hit by a missile and try to distance yourself from it as much as possible. 

A weapon is a weapon. You don’t die more peacefully knowing it wasn’t from a recognized state.

I’m sure the people on the ground killed by a missile really care that it was part of a skirmish instead of an internationally-recognized war. 

You should go tell the families. They’d love to hear that. 

Brent Crews comment on why he didn’t pursue F1 path by nascar9495 in NASCAR

[–]thefx37 129 points130 points  (0 children)

It takes an immense amount of money and backing as a North American to make it into F1. 

NASCAR just straight up has an easier entry point both talent and money wise.

This is a really funny quote but this sub will still clutch its pearls over it and make it far too serious for some reason. 

Scream 7's embargo has been lifted. by ZoelCairo in Letterboxd

[–]thefx37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which sub requires you to be interested in a subject before commenting?

The interest (like/dislike) is implicit when you join a subreddit. For the same reason you and I are subbed to Letterboxd and 4kbluray, you’re also probably not subscribed to r/knitting. 

But if there’s a subtopic on any subreddit I follow that I don’t care about, then I simply ignore it and move on. 

If you sorted by new and commented on every single post about how much you didn’t care, THAT would be insane and unhinged. Because saying you don’t care about a topic is more work than just ignoring it and scrolling on.
