No one cares who the lead is in a good show. It's been popular to blame racism/sexism for shitty shows for a while. It's easy to find a couple tweets and turn a handful of assholes into the face of criticism.

Amazon launcher requires an internet connection for games, at least the free ones.

There was definitely heavy skepticism at first. Buying online was new when it launched and physical was still king. I remember thinking it was dumb to buy from a website that could disappear instead of good old CDs.

I'm not saying bama would be amazing, I'm saying even with the "worse" record, they were better than the bottom 4 (and probably Arizona State and Boise State). It wouldn't change the outcome, but it would lead to better games. It's not worth pretending that the ACC or Big12 have two or even one legitimate contender in a playoff.

Wins and losses should matter, but they've gone too far in ignoring strength of schedule. If you are playing highschool teams, being undefeated doesn't mean anything in that scenario. Bama would have been a better game than the second best ACC or Big12 team, and Indiana. Still probably a loss, but that's the case either way.

I wasn't excited about Bond before either. It's far too long between movies that aren't even good anyway.

There's a balance that needs to be maintained. A general purpose knife like a chef's knife needs some thickness to it, otherwise it can't effectively chop through tougher things. It's also not a knife you are supposed to hold the full weight of when cutting most things. Thin knives are awful for things like cutting a cabbage in half or cutting chicken bones.

Finances are one of the most common reasons for divorce, being open about these things is key in a relationship.

They offer keys which allows for third party sellers to exist, and there are a handful of legitimate sites that sell keys for steam.

Steam is a platform that happens to also have a storefront. Other companies are building storefronts and hoping that's enough.

If you can't provide fast downloads, cloud saves synced across devices, achievements, mod support, friends lists, and multiplayer support, it's not a real option. Being cheaper or having some exclusives aren't attractive. Gog already has the drm free angle to be a legitimate competitor.

There isn't management for these jobs though. The people are the management. Both sides of the table are the same in the public sector.

Pre YouTube, but still a great classic.

 

Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

  • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

 

Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.

 

With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

 

Not a huge surprise.

Play for free until Feb 12.

 

Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.

Preseason predictions. (self.detroitlions)

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?

Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
