  1. I would say it is a muffin. But that's good, because muffins are considered healthy.
  2. Wear that dented spoiler like a badge of honor.
  3. It would have been nice to see Harper with the Giants, but 13 years is a crazy long contract.
  4. As stated, probably easier to go play football for a couple seasons, washout, and then go play baseball. Heck, Tim Tebow is doing that now and apparently still has a shot. I do miss the days of the two sport athletes.
  5. They call them freshmen for a reason. Best thing for all parties involved would be for them to get less of the spotlight while they grow into the job.
  6. Age of Conan was a fantastic RPG for the first 20 levels.
  7. I never bought Andromeda for one reason...it isn't on Steam. It's not a protest or anything, it's just I only log into Origin on the rare occasion, but I log into Steam every day, and every day I see that store page, and every day some game on my radar pops up, and eventually I end up buying them all. But I never really get reminded that I haven't bought Andromeda, or that it is now on sale, so I still haven't picked it up. So I'd say EA can fix some issues by simply opening themselves up to all outlets.
  8. I'd say it's fair to be concerned about Bioware as a consumer. It seems like they damaged the Mass Effect IP with Andromeda, and that was in their wheelhouse. Now Anthem is generating a negative buzz, and that is an attempt to launch a new IP for them. They do seem to be in need of a hit. I just don't see why I would root for such a thing. Sure, there is this idea that they have lost sight of the date they brought to the dance with Anthem, but you also don't want to be a stagnant company that does not adjust with the market. I'm rooting for a solid Dragon Age 4 and an eventual return to the ME universe. Or Jade Empire 2!
  9. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47364081 My first thought when reading the headline was "I thought the Vandals had dispersed long before any Crusaders arrived on the scene."
  10. I imagine there will still be a booming research industry for erectile dysfunction.
  11. Ugh, Kindergarten. Trust me, that would be more work.
  12. Super reasonable to root for people to lose their jobs. Classy.
  13. Netflix, Amazon Prime (2-day shipping pays for itself) and Hulu (free with Sprint phones) are the 3 I use. Cable and Satellite cost around $100 a month minimum, so it's way cheaper to have a few digital subs. Hulu Plus might be a good add later, since you get local and sports for $40 a month.
  14. The throw on that back foot from deep is the crazy part.
  15. I bought it and my life is filled with regret.
  16. Because people will never figure out sex if we don't tell them, right? Parents will just opt out of it though. Usually about a quarter of our students are sent to another room during human growth and development.
  17. It would be interesting if the Giants got him because it might turn the NL West into a 5-team nightmare.
  18. Agh, just read Bruce Bochy is retiring after this year. Well, hopefully the team can give him one more good run. Hall of famer in my eyes, for sure.
  19. Giants might be relevant if they get Harper, but I don't see why he would sign with us. We've got a lot of dead weight in contracts right now. We've got one pitcher and a good infield, but the rest is unproven or a mess. I don't like the DH idea or having relievers start the game, but I can't say it will make me lose interest. I just prefer the mold of pitchers that go for complete games and step into the batter's box with confidence. I watched Barry Zito fight through 12 pitches once and it was the most fun ever. I think the Dodgers will self destruct.
  20. Woman diagnosed with autism being awesome: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/Fla-Woman-is-1st-Openly-Autistic-Person-to-Practice-Law-in-State-505990651.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_BAYBrand&fbclid=IwAR2KiffoxSVVs-0FQNpY452YJ-ha7GmdVPuV4EIS5E9iAVpuQMEeZcZLmDI Not a big surprise, really. I'd argue that there are plenty of undiagnosed people doing amazing things all over, but overcoming the label and stigma is a big deal.
  21. It's pretty easy to eye roll his statements. The reason you don't see many young conservatives is because young people are idealistic by nature. You aren't going to find many young people that don't have simplistically liberal views of the world. People shouldn't have guns, everyone should have a home, health care should be free, etc. Of course, young people also tend to be in favor of censorship if you are going to hurt someone's feelings. Teachers also tend to be a liberal bunch, but honestly we are too busy trying to get kids to write in complete sentences to get far in our indoctrination plan. I mean, I see them in groups of 35 for about 50 minutes a day, it's an uphill battle to brainwash. I've gotta take attendance and figure out how to communicate with the kid that arrived from Korea last week and speaks no English. Meanwhile their parents get way better access for indoctrination. Actually I think youtube influencers have the best access nowadays.
  22. State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves both seem to be pretty decent offerings. Plus Forza is a big game. So that guy is just trollin'.
