WC spoil - mud Dec 5, 09:33
"John Cena said it, how could it be bad?" -- nm - Classroom Transcripts Dec 5, 09:30 5
- what did the student say? -- nm - Remlik Dec 5, 09:35 3
  - Indecipherable nonsense, it was disruptive anyhow. -- nm - Reagen Dec 5, 09:39 2
    - Yup, Cena fan. - The Allfather Dec 5, 09:42 1
      - HA! -- nm - Remlik Dec 5, 09:52

Mets - Verlander for two years, $86 million -- (link*) - budice Dec 5, 09:27 2
- Tough break, Justin. At least you're getting paid a lot to lose to Atlanta. -- nm - The Gossip King Dec 5, 09:32
- Mets made out better for this. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 5, 09:30
Have you seen my daughter's cat? - zunk takes things literally Dec 5, 09:26 [Attachment] 5
- so cute! -- nm - Epiphany Dec 5, 09:42
- Very cute! If I tried to dress any of my cats, I would bleed out before the paramedics arrived. -- nm - Dano Dec 5, 09:31 1
  - heh -- nm - mud Dec 5, 09:32
- can't decide which one to destroy first! -- nm - mud Dec 5, 09:27
- Amazing. -- nm - Spawn Dec 5, 09:26
I was just praising 99X for somehow surviving all these years the other day, and then they go and just become boring 'classic' alternative rock. - Qale Dec 5, 09:23 6
- That happened to Q101 a few years ago but when I'm tuned to it it seems more 50-50. - zunk takes things literally Dec 5, 09:31
- Oh come on. You need to hear Smells Like Teen Spirit at least every couple of hours, right? -- nm - Spawn Dec 5, 09:26 4
  - That being said. XM 34 has expanded their playlist in odd ways. Used to be more Nirvana/Pumpkins and keep hearing more pop-py stuff -- nm - oblique Dec 5, 09:38 1
    - Agreed -- nm - Spawn Dec 5, 09:41

holy crap Steph -- (link) - mud Dec 5, 09:17 13
- So why is SI, the 2nd leading sports journalist site, posting fakery? - Will Hunting Dec 5, 09:28 5
  - I'm curious. What is the #1 sports journalism site, The Athletic? -- nm - zunk takes things literally Dec 5, 09:33 3
    - ESPN for all its negatives has a ton of top tier reporters. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 5, 09:35 2
      - SI fell behind The Athletic a while ago and is never going to catch up. They fired most of their talent after the ownership change. -- nm - The Gossip King Dec 5, 09:36 1
        
        From a mass knowledge, it’s still ahead of athletic. SI is a legacy … even as crap as it’s becoming. - Will Hunting Dec 5, 09:42
  - SI is now owned by Elon as well. - Jovian Dec 5, 09:30
- There's no way that is real. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 5, 09:18 6

    - I honestly doubt most people could make 105 straight layups…he knocked down 105 3’s in a row. That’s nuts. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 5, 09:29
  - I need to see him do it in game, and then I will believe. - Spawn Dec 5, 09:21 2
    - And if anyone could, it’s him. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 5, 09:26 1
      - indeed. -- nm - mud Dec 5, 09:27
not content with creating a chum line of press interviews, SBF now apparently willing to go under oath before Congress -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 5, 09:09

Sad. A couple we know from our previous church where my wife worked. I believe the missing woman is the husband's sister. -- (edited) - oblique Dec 5, 09:01 1
- :( -- nm - budice Dec 5, 09:01
I don't think I knew this (that last part) -- (link*) - ty97 Dec 5, 08:53 5
- So the saying should be "plenty of fishes in the sea" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 5, 08:56 4
  - It could be. I think the whole thing is fishes "can" be used. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 5, 09:00
  - unless it's a small sea with only one species of fish in it -- nm - ty97 Dec 5, 08:58 1
    - Plenty of fish in the pond, plenty of fishes in the sea. -- nm - Spawn Dec 5, 09:00
  - only if you're into interspecies romance -- nm - decline Dec 5, 08:58

- so. you follow my dad on Facebook and are stealing his material now? -- nm - oblique Dec 5, 08:46 2
  - He's just looking for his peers! -- nm - spamlet Dec 5, 09:07
  - He's got good content! -- nm - ty97 Dec 5, 08:55
So. The Netflix series Dark. Are all three seasons connected? Or is each season its own thing? (ie Anthology series) -- nm - Jovian Dec 5, 08:39 7
- Gracias! (I didnt want to inquire by Google..thats how spoilers happen!) -- nm - Jovian Dec 5, 09:06 3
  - It's definitely a series you have to pay attention to 100%. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 5, 09:21 1
    - So much this. It pretty deep. Even cheating with only stuff during season 1 I was lost at some points. -- nm - sycor Dec 5, 09:47
  - The wikipedia page on the series is super helpful, but also there's no way to avoid spoilers. Once you finish the series, it's fun to comb through - prayformojo Dec 5, 09:07
- IT'S ALL CONNECTED -- nm - JaxSean Dec 5, 08:53
- Having only watched the first season and the first episode or two of the second, I believe they are connected. And very confusingly (to me). Great - sycor Dec 5, 08:44 1
  - I am just starting S3. S1 A+, S2 A-. - JaxSean Dec 5, 09:03
Running Slackers - SlackerTalk running club created on Strava (link inside). I made it Private so you'll have to request and I'll approve. -- (link) - Dano Dec 5, 08:37 2
- For the first time in three weeks, I actually feel capable of running. - Reagen Dec 5, 09:45
- Request sent. Thanks for setting this up! -- nm - znufrii Dec 5, 08:39
CVS agreed to donate $10 million to American Diabetes Association. At checkout, CVS is asking customers to donate money to ADA. That money goes to CVS - ty97 Dec 5, 08:37 5
- Same with grocery stores wanting you to “round up” your purchase, no? -- nm - znufrii Dec 5, 08:45 2
  - no, at least some chains have disclosed donations - they can’t count that $ as income nor take them as a write-off which helps encourage -- (edited) - i.b! Dec 5, 08:52 1
    - Better than I’d assumed then. Thx. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 5, 08:53
- which is why i hardly ever do this -- nm - budice Dec 5, 08:39
- yeah, it is why I don't donate at the register of any store -- nm - Beaker Dec 5, 08:38

- Is that frowned upon? -- nm - oblique Dec 5, 08:43 4
  - why did they let them do a few shows after it broke? he was a bit smirky about it. - Epiphany Dec 5, 08:47 3
    - I'm guessing at least one of their spouses wasn't as aware of the separation as the network was led to believe. -- nm - spamlet Dec 5, 08:58 2
      - andrew shue reportedly removed all photos that included her from his instagram after the story broke.* — nm - i.b! Dec 5, 09:02 1

  - Someone tie down Dan Snyder. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 5, 08:28 2
    - I mean, we gave up picks and 28mil to Wentz. I’m sure we could have found a 2nd receiver for that. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 5, 09:05
    - poor Heinicke. all he does is win (and sometimes tie) football games -- nm - Beaker Dec 5, 08:31

    - more the Rams -- nm - ML Dec 5, 09:27
    - maybe, it's not like he was good or anything. But maybe with all the Niners weapons ho could fit in -- nm* - Beaker Dec 5, 08:29 1
      - He'd look way better in an offense with good play action. SF is great at that. -- nm - Inigo Dec 5, 08:32
- Well, he *will* need a new house. -- nm - Spawn Dec 5, 08:18
Despite all the emails, maybe Senator Warnock does not really need your money -- (link) - ty97 Dec 5, 08:14

OED word of the year - “Goblin mode” -- (link) - znufrii Dec 5, 08:10 10
- Sure, a word nobody has ever used can win. -- nm - Spawn Dec 5, 09:23
- This might be one of the best 'word of the year' entries ever. It is spot-on how many people feel post-pandemic. -- nm - Qale Dec 5, 09:17
- Shouldn't their Word of the Year at least be a term I've heard at least once in my life? -- nm - Mop Dec 5, 09:04
- Given the choices, I am very comfortable with this result. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 5, 08:43 2
  - how can a term I've NEVER fucking heard of be "word of the year"?! -- nm - mud Dec 5, 08:46 1
    - Because Dictionary McWordface said so. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 5, 08:47
- It's ironic how hard people worked to recognize goblin mode. -- nm - The Gossip King Dec 5, 08:41
- Something I’ve never heard of won with 93% of an online vote with “surprising engagement”? - spamlet Dec 5, 08:15 2
  - And then we should get into the debate of whether "goblin mode" or "vampire mode" is the more accurate description of the behavior. - ReluctantCynic Dec 5, 08:30 1
    - How long until they get accused of anti-semitism? -- nm - oblique Dec 5, 08:33
