Catch 200 Pokémon in one day is some bullshit. I think I’d rather get 2 excellent curves in… - Qale Oct 12, 11:42 7

    - 👍 -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 11:17
- I think it might help lessen roster imbalances. - the wrong element Oct 12, 10:42 1

- Beard. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 12, 10:49
- Roy is my spirit animal. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 10:14 6

    - Also, Sassy Smurf is an absolute delight in her sporadic appearances. (Season 3 spoils) - Will Hunting Oct 12, 10:29
    - I was taken aback by how solid all the performances are. - Jovian Oct 12, 10:29 3
      - I’ve liked Sudeikis in the past. I had no idea he had this level of skill in him. I don’t know where you got to but late in Season 1 is some of the - Will Hunting Oct 12, 10:31 2
        
        really really good. An early scene (spoils) -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 12, 10:35 1
        
        I think it would’ve been real easy for the actors to slip into caricatures of their characters (see Friends) but great range, by each, when their - flavorize Oct 12, 10:57
- Beard. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 10:10
- 1) Keeley 2) Beard 3) Roy 4) Sam 5) Whoever said, "We cannot fight that many ghosts." - The Allfather Oct 12, 10:09 1
  - My top 5: Roy, Keeley, Sam, Beard, Tartt or Higgins. Probably Higgins. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 12, 10:17

Man, I'm halfway through the 4th season of Angel and, yeah, this season is just dreadful. - Ender Oct 12, 09:52 13
- It's absolutely awful. Its like Josh wanted to tank the show because he was mad Charisma Carpenter got pregnant. -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 10:13 10
  - but then season 5 was the best. -- nm - mud Oct 12, 10:26 9
    - It was very good. -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 10:42
    - Between Buffy and Angel I'm seeing a pattern. The penultimate season is the worst. -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 10:29 7
      - Just pretend like the last two seasons of Buffy don't exist. Angel got canceled at the height of its glory. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 12, 10:41 1

        And rapist Spike. -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 10:55
      - The only full episode I've seen of either show is Buffy's "Hush." I hate to ruin my greatness batting average. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 10:33 1
        
        The first three seasons of BtVS are fantastic. - spamlet Oct 12, 10:34

DTL: Will, I paid it forward. Cooled off a bit at the end, but for most of the game we were shooting like Villanova 1985. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 09:44 7

    - My reward, of course, was the computer dropping me 3 places in the rankings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 10:26 1
      - I don’t get the rankings. I’ve beaten multiple teams around 100 by 10-18 and a 185 by 30…and I’ve gone up 9 spots. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 10:27
- There's a suuuper interesting post in the defense question thread on the main board. -- nm - spamlet Oct 12, 09:49 2
  - Looks at thread. Looks at team. Sees only 1 E shooter. Despairs. -- nm - rollo Oct 12, 12:14
  - That is suuuper interesting. A lot of things I've already suspected or experienced. - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 12, 10:17

Wisconsin moms suing school districts without mask mandates after their kids catch covid -- (link) - znufrii Oct 12, 09:36 4
- I found it good to note they are suing for CDC guidelines to be implemented, not for money (at least that's what I read in other articles on it) -- nm - oblique Oct 12, 09:41 3
  - sue for both. Nothing will make school boards implement them more than a couple million dollar judgements against them -- nm* - Beaker Oct 12, 09:51 2
    - That depends some states are withholding funds and grants if schools implement mandates - eag Oct 12, 10:16
    - I’d rather they find a way to deal with school boards being idiots that doesn’t essentially involve punishing students. - znufrii Oct 12, 09:56
