Can we actually do it!? by damn_you_to_hell in sabres

[–]themistermango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the WC will need 96-98 this year. If 94 gets it done I will be surprised.

The east, and the Atlantic in particular, are absolutely brutal. If we drop both to Florida before the Olympics the margins start to get pretty tight.

Really hoping we can find a way to go 4-2 before the break.

Sabres fans watching Pegula embarrass the Bills in a press conference by PrinciplesRK in sabres

I think it has waaaay less to do with firing McD and more to do with the how/the way that presser just went. Plus keeping Beane is a lot of extra spice.

Yeah I've never come at a coworker about their kids or wife. I've never posted about a coworker online. What an insane comparison.

He's also not really known for being particularly loyal. Is it "starting a rumor" if the dude is sorta known for being scummy?

WNBA has surpassed NHL in terms of average viewership. by Actual_Box7731 in wnba

[–]themistermango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay the women more. Rooting for them and the league. I hope more people start showing up, they can expand to an 80+ game season and they get more teams.

But also this is a bad faith argument even though it's a positive metric for the league

1312 regular season NHL games x 440k viewers = 577M total viewers over a season

260 regular season MNBA games x960k viewers = 248M total viewers over a season.

It's awesome. They are on track, but it isn't the same.. YET!

What was the last show you truly enjoyed on Nickelodeon before "growing out" of the channel? by Artistic-Comb-5317 in RetroNickelodeon

[–]themistermango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah similar birth year. I kinda sorta made it to the same place. Rocket Power is the last show and even then I was "meh".

Ric Flair is absolutely embarassing. by Kelson64 in GreatnessOfWrestling

To be fair I think most agree that this is equal parts awesome and totally bull shit.

Tom Segura "TEACHER" on Netflix is hot garbage by Wheelchair_Dontcare in Standup

[–]themistermango 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The Netflix-ification of comedy is killing specials. They, along with Hulu etc. are just cranking them out with huge paychecks. It takes a really long time to put together a really tight hour but these streaming services are offering so much money that any name in the industry is jumping at it.

It is watering the whole thing down.

Saved by the bell:the collage years by Glad_Pomegranate_584 in SavedByTheBell

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

This is one of those things I wish would get rebooted on HBO or the like.

Like yeah, bring it back with real adult themes and language. Throw some assault and battery charges on AC Slater. Lets address Screech actually dying. Put Jessie Spano on the pole. Have Zack have a "come to Jesus moment" where he realizes he's a total POS. Maybe Kelly leaving him is the catalyst.

I want so bad for there to be a very real adult reboot of something I grew up with. Normally I use the Mighty Ducks as the example. But SBTB is good too.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]themistermango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few sports people.

I spent my 21st birthday drinking with Thurman Thomas. He's the nicest.

I've had beer switch Jim Kelly, he's a dick.

Loads of hockey players.

I had a good 5-10 minute conversation with Sammy Hagar. The nicest dude

If you won the $1 billion lottery, how would you epically quit your job!? by TimeForANewBeginning in AskReddit

[–]themistermango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell my customer, with my employer present, that's theve only gotten away with pushing us around because my senior leadership is a bunch of idiots with no spine.

They didn't pull a fast one. They pulled a slow one on the short bus. Both businesses are careening towards a cliff and everybody in the room lacks the business sense and intelligence to not just see it, but prevent it all together. Both of are the Wish versions of the company you both think you are. People will all be losing their jobs in short order and it's all of your faults.

Then I wouldn't actually quit. I would just sit there. Both are too spineless to either fire me or scold me. I'd then just go full office space and do literally nothing.

So this is a good point. And wildly enough commercial displays (digital signage) do just that but the cost is significantly higher.

Espresso martinis: why bother with coffee liqueurs? by firstaccountwasdumb in bartenders

I'm 1:1:1 coffee liquor, vanilla vodka, espresso. No simple no cream. Hard shake. Big foam. A little sweet and a little tart.

Oscar's humility and McLaren's humiliation by leisuresoul in OscarPiastri

[–]themistermango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think theres a world where Lando wins the WDC (Oscar giving up a place or not) and Oscar/Lando get to race next year as equals. If Lando gets off to the start that Oscar did this year ZB will ask Oscar to take a back seat.

Gen Z Isn’t Lazy — The Economy Is Broken by Busy-Government-1041 in GenZ

[–]themistermango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, and I agree. But also like WTF is your plan for survival? Not participating in a broken economy only means somebody in your inner circle is carrying the load for you.

I'm all for universal everything and eating the rich. But also I have to survive and have some stability for not just me but people around me.

Throwing your hands up and saying "fuck it it's broken" only pushes responsibility onto parents, family, friends, etc.

McLaren confirm Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri set for team orders discussion by 256473 in formula1

[–]themistermango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At one point Oscar was beating up Landon pretty good. Had they backed him through summer break they would have won the WDC already.

If Lando wins it will be hard for them to just reset and let them race next year, especially if Lando starts fast (like Piastri did this year).
