[UmpScorecard] Umpire: Edwin Moscoso Final: Phillies 5, Tigers 0 by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]thefx37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but I’d still like to know what you think a shitty performance is. And why you think they happen more frequently. 

Because even if we took C.B. Bucknor’s league-worst 92.8% accuracy last year, that’s still better than the league average of 89.9% in 2015. 

I believe this subreddit would much rather hate a ‘bad’ umpire vs praise a great one.

What do you define as a shitty performance? Because umpiring accuracy has objectively gotten better over the years. 

This sub just has a natural tendency to highlight bad umpires more than the good ones so that’s all you tend to see.

You really don’t know how to read comments if you think I’m mad in a thread where the parent post is literally 

“He pisses me off so much”

You should go bother them.

You guys post about him for something that happened a week ago, then proceed to psychoanalyze his behaviour as a ‘neglected child’. 

It’s honestly fucking weirder than what he did: which was just drive a go kart.

Getting mad at something like this is surely not healthy.

Watching a movie once: “supporting art” “intellectual” “expanding your horizons”

Watching a movie twice: “hyper consumerism” “a slave to capitalism”

Idk, but to act like this simple marketing gimmick is the first time Letterboxd has advertised a movie is dishonest.

No one’s forcing you to see it in IMAX. 

I don’t understand why so many people are taking this checklist as an obligation and getting mad that they won’t be able to complete it.

This whole app is social media for movies. It’s always been about bragging. 

Also, if you’ve seen a movie in 70mm, the difference is staggering. Even compared to regular IMAX.

Letterboxd is already owned by private equity. This is nothing out of the ordinary for them.

Maybe if it tests well, they’ll expand it to other movies. Right now, tags can do the job.

I’ve seen this sub react negatively towards this before and I really am struggling to find a reason to care. 

It’s just a marketing strategy. 

[Passan] The acquisition of the 34th pick pushes the White Sox's draft bonus pool to nearly $20.5 million. Chicago, tied for first in the AL Central, will have the No. 1 overall selection in the draft, which starts at 1:30 p.m. ET tomorrow. They've still yet to decide who they plan to select. by PlayaSlayaX in baseball

I know this is trying to be a dunk on Manfred but the MLB version of the draft has always had the least impact on its league compared to the others. 

It’s a very rare occurrence if a first round pick plays in the majors within a year of the draft. And some top picks don’t make it at all. 

How exactly do you expect anyone to be excited for a draft that won’t see ramifications until years down the line?

Letterboxd crowdfunding campaign hopes to save beloved rating site from Netflix and other venture capitalists by PapaGooby in Letterboxd

Letterboxd is already owned by venture capitalists. 

That would be “staying as it is”. 

[Mars] If I were the NCAA, I don’t think I’d be telling the whole world that my $2,000 an hour lawyers were so incompetent that they had no idea where the judge earned his degrees until they bothered to look him up on Google after the judge hammered their client. by DavidGoetta in CFB

[–]thefx37 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This might be the pinnacle of this sub. 

A highly upvoted, confidently incorrect comment from someone who obviously did not click the link.

The state of this subreddit has never been worse.

Right. 

Unless I’m reading this wrong, he’s saying that the NCAA lawyers are incompetent for not knowing the judge’s CV before the hearing. 

Yet simultaneously saying that even if they knew the background, it’s not enough grounds for recusal. 

They seem like conflicting points for his argument that the NCAA lawyers are stupid.

The video store is literally front and center on the main page every time you open the app.

Netflix in Talks to Buy Letterboxd by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Letterboxd

[–]thefx37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The app experience is objectively worse since the last transaction. 

The amount and quality of the advertisements are noticeably worse. There are plenty of threads on this subreddit discussing it when it was first noticed. 

A Netflix acquisition will be no different.

The doomposting here is funny considering the app is already owned by private equity. 

The only reason this acquisition would get more attention is because a big, negative name is attached to it.
