      - Yeah, it's a hard pass in our current format. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 10:59
  - quarantine effect on holiday shopping -- nm - Max Aug 19, 10:33 2
    - How would this relate to streaming? -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:55 1
      - oh, I've only listened to one ep, but I didn't get the sense that the podcast was strictly limited to streaming content -- (edited) - Max Aug 19, 11:03

      - Speaking of, are you guys on Patreon? -- nm - oblique Aug 19, 10:32 2
        
        Yes. Yes we are. Although I don't know how comfortable I am yet receiving any donations. - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:43 1
        
        I'll just grab some merch when you start doing live road shows. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 10:46
    - That would require someone to watch it. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:27
    - You and your freaky-ass porn. -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:26
  - You kinda do this but having a quick "What's new on streaming this week" or "coming next week" segment could be helpful especially how much you all - oblique Aug 19, 10:24 8

        See? Lobbying works! I only need to swing one more vote! -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:34
      - Episode 3 did a FAR better job of presenting you as having a conversation as rather giving dissertations in front of the classroom. - Qale Aug 19, 10:30
- Thank you Qale. Your feedback is very much appreciated. We'll absorb it and adapt. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:09 3
  - I’m glad it’s appreciated. When I started typing out yesterday’s I was like, this is really not easy to try and critique my friends. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 10:27 2
    - You will never fully understand how much I appreciate it. Kim will confirm that I BEG her to be harsh about my work. - David Aug 19, 10:33
    - You can't be any harder on us that we are on ourselves. I'm amused by how politely brutal we're being in our internal messages. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:32
AEW bumped to Saturday because of basketball. - Tim Aug 19, 09:56 1

  - Schools doing pre-campus testing are SMRT -- nm - oblique Aug 19, 10:20
- Unless they're testing the entire student body, that positivity rate is mostly useless. They're testing likely infected people based on contact - oblique Aug 19, 10:13 5
  - But that the same for cities, counties, and states. No one is testing everyone. -- nm - Inigo Aug 19, 10:17 2
    - Yes. It is just especially useless here because they're testing a likely infected population vs. normal testing which at least as some semblance - oblique Aug 19, 10:20 1
      - All depends on if the faculty of the college are being tested regularly. -- nm - Inigo Aug 19, 10:46
  - It means they need to be doing a lot more testing, is what it means. -- nm - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 19, 10:15 1
    - I'd love to see a school do mandatory quarantine rules for on campus students. Lockdown, no gatherings, discipline for violating. - oblique Aug 19, 10:19
- This is just going to happen at school after school. Wish my daughter wasn't starting grad school in a few weeks. -- nm - pmb Aug 19, 09:57

  - I bet she's off to ESPN or something even bigger -- nm - Remlik Aug 19, 09:53
  - As the person on the board who is so very much against more WWE alumni, I obviously would make an exception here. She’s better than Mox, honestly. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 09:50 3
    - They’re both phenomenal. -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:00 2
      - Mox is talented in the ring, but shows he’s completely incapable of growth as a character. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 10:02 1
        
        As Dean Ambrose, he was incredibly boring when he held a title and super interesting when he didn’t. And I feel like that’s not entirely WWE’s fault. -- nm - Tim Aug 19, 10:04
  - COVID was the last straw, I’m sure. -- nm - David Aug 19, 09:43 1
    - The suggestion was with SmackDown moving to Fox, it’d have more of a sports presentation feel and she’d be working a desk, but nope. - Tim Aug 19, 10:01

- (Pete will post this again in a few hours.) -- nm - David Aug 19, 09:34 2

    - Well, it's less fun if you're here for the original post! -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:21
That Ujiri footage is a blueprint example of how racist cops think they can get away with absolutely anything. - David Aug 19, 09:23 2
- And the deputy had the balls to sue. He should be fined and fired. Maybe jailed. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:30
- And then there’s this... -- (link) - David Aug 19, 09:27

  - TV PSA says yesterday -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 09:33 6
    - For both? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 09:47 4
      - It's just one episode each week and it covers both teams. That's why I was saying it should be two hours long. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 19, 09:52 3
        
        Sorry, I meant for HBO's Lovecraft Country as well. The 1st episode is out (it was great), but not sure when new ones are released. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 10:04 2
