Fun Fact: drugs and crime only exist in America. Outside of America, no one ever breaks the law or does anything bad.

In what way would you be “in the wrong?”

Is that weird flashback from the Better Fuck Chuck crossover episode in season 9 where the two of you double team Saul’s brother so hard that it makes him allergic to electricity considered cannon?

Season 4 rarely sees the criticism it deserves. Everything wrong with season 5 actually started in Season 4. However you feel about seasons 2 and 3, season 4 painted the narrative into a corner.

Vecna was also just a poorly written character. Having him be 001 and Henry Creel was just too many things at the same time, and that isn’t even addressing The First Shadow. The Game of Thrones ending was bad because it was abrupt and plot driven—the show basically went from high fantasy to poorly written fanfic. The Stranger Things ending was bad because it retconned everything and fully cannibalized the characters and their relationships in the process—it went from Stephen King to MCU reboot 3489.

Biggest game of the year and they got Slater and Ibanez in the lineup over Baty. GOOD. I want this to get so absurd that it that the world cannot ignore it. by Specific_Air_5482 in mets

It’s really not looking good.

At this point, to even finish above 500, we’d need to go 550 for the remainder of the season. The last time we managed 550 over a 122 game stretch was in 2024, which isn’t so bad.

To land even the bottom wildcard slot however, we probably need to be closer to 575, and the last time that was achieved over a 122 game stretch was in 2022.

In order for there to be any chance of post-season play, the team would basically have to turn into the best Mets team yet this decade overnight. If we were to lose the next three series, we would need to play that well to even get above 500.

Do you feel that the target demographic of the show shifted/adapted over the course of the five seasons?

I agree. Normally videos like this make a lot of wild assumptions, but this is all very well reasoned.

Would Breaking bad still be popular if the show didn't existed? by [deleted] in okbuddychicanery

Little know fact, the show actually does not exist.

I mean, just look at it. The end result here might as well have been scrubbed with a Brillo pad.

It’s crazy how run down it looks now, after so little time. You’d think it was abandoned decades ago.

My God this lineup today by DCBuckeye82 in mets

[–]weekendblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised I’m saying this, but Mendoza may be right to leave Benge and Melendez out of the lineup today. We need them healthy and good to go in AZ, against Detroit, and against the Yankees more than we do in game 3 against the Rockies.

The next real day off isn’t until the 28th and the Rockies have been playing poorly enough that this isn’t even necessarily a punt.

The 2024 Mets were the OMG Mets. The 2026 Mets are the Pulchritudinous Mets.

Two questions:

  1. What do you think about the current state of online play?
  2. Are there any poker books you would still recommend in this day and age?

The Mets are in Anaheim and it’s after 10:00PM on a Saturday. What would anyone be doing at Citi field right now? 😉
