Look! A take! -- (link) - ty97 Mar 13, 14:25 2
- Just because you have to write content doesn’t mean you have to be wrong too. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 14:35
- I *LOATHE* that song. If I never ever ever here if again, it'll be too soon. -- nm - TWuG Mar 13, 14:28
My free article limit has run out, but all I needed was this excerpt: "My biggest mistake in life so far was dating a man with a podcast" -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 13, 14:08 4
- So now isn’t the time for me to announce my new podcast. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 14:33
- this famous Tik Tokker has become rich off taking podcast bros to task. It is epic. sponsorships, paid products, movie premieres and she was just at - Epiphany Mar 13, 14:25
- Would You Date a Podcast Bro? - JD Mar 13, 14:11 1
  - The nice thing about dating a blogger is that they often go years without updating their blog. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 14:43
DTL stupidity - I was a 13 seed and beat a 4 seed…and I dropped 6 spots in the rankings. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 14:07 2

    - There are maybe five safeties I like in the NFL. He's one of them. -- nm - Halo Thoughts Mar 13, 14:07
So the Bears traded Roquan Smith in order to pay Tremaine Edmunds $18M per year. Largest 4 year ILB contract in NFL history. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 13:40 3
- Effectively traded Chase Claypool as the #32 pick for Smith as the #53 pick because they wouldn't give the 25-year-old OLB $45M guaranteed. - Halo Thoughts Mar 13, 13:54 2
  - It is frustrating. GM and HC don't like Smith either positionally or personally. Don't know why but they were never going to resign him. - zunkskunk Mar 13, 14:07 1
    - I really like Edmunds, who is from my area, but the totality of this move makes no sense. -- nm - Halo Thoughts Mar 13, 14:25

  - 👍 -- nm - JD Mar 13, 14:04
- Can you do it with just an inflection, like "I'm Ron Burgundy?" -- nm - Max Mar 13, 13:41 1
  - I doubt it. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 13:54
- NO! That's contrary to the spirit of the game! If you played it in reverse, the traditional style makes sense. "Who is Abe Lincoln?" - Mop Mar 13, 13:40 1
  - I like this guy. -- nm - Art Fleming Mar 13, 13:55
- as long as it's a question. If your response is already a question, you don't even need to add anything else - prayformojo Mar 13, 13:40 1
  - would "Who's afraid of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" also be acceptable? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 13:41

- None of the cases are related to covid cure, preventing, I guess it's been a thing for a decade now -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 13:01 3
  - I guess the Ivermectin cult just assumed it would work for COVID. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 13:03 2
    - I thought it was 3rd world docs grasping at anything on hand to see what worked as they had nothing not even oxygen for the sickest -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 13:07 1
      - I honestly don't know. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 13:09

    - I wonder how many of these were talking colloidal silver previously -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 13:03 7

        I take that back, actually blue gray. -- nm - loosilu Mar 13, 13:06 1
        
        maybe that's where the tall grays come from -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 13:26
- A fitting explanation point. -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 13, 12:51
I guess it’s too much to hope that the crooks who ran SVB into the ground will go to jail even if their customers get made whole -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 13, 12:41 8

Aaron Rodgers no longer needs attention. So, he's a Jet. Partial congrats and partial condolences, Krusty! -- nm - Halo Thoughts Mar 13, 12:03 27
- If we make the playoffs and do some damage there I'll be happy. Hopefully Wilson can learn something from watching him play. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 12:37 3
