I feel like it is likely he would have received a lot less guff about it if they’d been honest about it from the get go instead of pretending he had some sort of “mystery ailment."

For a team that no one cares about, they sure get talked about a lot.

And fish sauce smells rancid.

The primary issue for players at this stage in their career not to play in international competitions is to save themselves for their teams’ greater goods. But his team is not a contender. So he has nothing to save himself for.

This is like telling a superstar college athlete who tells the media he should be drafted high that he just needs to fill out a good resume and a good team will hire him. That’s not how this fucking works.

I think the problem here is pretending you have a seasoned understanding of an issue you have the most preliminary information about

You raise some excellent points. I think I may have misspoke. I was suggesting that the *sentiment* of his curmudegonliness... I.e. not anything specific to rob dibble, but the generic curmudgeonliness of baseball’s loyalist traditionalism that I perceive in the game and specifically in his comments... Was suggestive…

Rob dibble’s curmudegonliness is not only part and parcel of, but a literal embodiment of baseball conservatism.

You don’t think baseball’s waning popularity has *anything* to do with its ceaseless conservatism and reluctance to embrace new technologies (e.g. allowing fan published highlights on youtube)

There’s no way a person with a soul who has *actually seen* blank man could rate that 90s Damon wayans/DAG classic so low.

I was confused to see that Batwoman, L’invicibile superdonna, was a Mexican film, considering the Italian language title. On Google searching, it seems like it’s Italian?

I think the word for that stateside is “beautician."

It’s a lot easier to react to sports things and write about them than it is to know anything about sports.

Eww no. Then you can’t control the seasoning of what u make nearly as easily.

Curious how your experience with never leaving your butter out gibes with your experience of butter rotting.

Also, if you leave a fork in a container of food in the refrigerator it will poison the food.

Has any public figure *ever* espoused an unconscionable viewpoint without claiming they faced “death threats” in the aftermath?

Do people hate Notre dame? They haven’t been relevant in 20+ years.

Hell yeh - shoot first and ask questions later - just like all my favorite action movie heroes say, and how I choose to live my life because of that.

And this is the response to people who lament the downfall of human values in America because in Europe “they actually value people even if theyre different."
