Same way a lot of unknowns get huge.
Luck.
Right place, right time.
Sorry, kid, perspective and optimism don't get upvotes on KIA2!
It's all doom, doom, DOOOOOM! if you want to be big here!
I'll call your Australian football and raise you Finnish baseball.
That's a thing. And it's great.
It does, at 280.
Unless you buy Premium (the blue check), in which case it gets either infinite, or something REALLY high, like 10,000. Not sure which.
(EDIT: It's the latter--the limit is 25,000.)
I don't know why Trump says he wants to do this, nor do I want him to actually do it.
But I love the reaction it's getting from our enemies!
Yeah, he's the only way I keep up with "real" sports at all anymore.
I quit watching the NBA after about 25 years once the game had devolved into nothing but threes--and its fans keep claiming it's evolved.
The last straw was when I watched my hometown Houston Rockets have a big lead over the Golden State Warriors...and kept shooting threes.
Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank.
Twenty-seven missed threes in a row.
All because THE ANALYTICS said it was EFFICIENT.
They blew their lead and lost the game. In Game 7. Ending their season.
Here's a great video on that disaster of a game.
The league going woke shortly after, if they weren't already, was just the brown cream on the shit sundae.
By the way, it's only gotten worse since. Have a game where a team's down by two, they have a four-on-one fast break in the final seconds, and...
Steve "UrinatingTree" Linkowski was once sponsored by scammers Established Titles.
Once their scam was revealed, he still had one ad obligation left on his contract.
He refused to do it. Thankfully, it doesn't look like he was punished for this.
I say this because of how much it hurt him to learn of the scam. He said that was the most fun he'd ever had in shooting ad spots--walking around with a faux-ermine cape and scepter like he ruled the place. He completely owned how silly it all sounded, but his integrity was more important.
I know we hate sportsball here, and I get why, but I have a soft spot for the man for this reason. It helps that he agrees with us more often than not.
I saw the first 30 episodes of Lower Decks, before I had to stop Paramount Plus for budget reasons.
I liked it a LOT more than I thought I would. No joke, the worst episodes were, by far, the FIRST two, and I felt it picked up greatly in quality from there.
Sadly, I heard about what happened in season 4, turning Dr. Bashir homosexual for some Cardassian, and it looks like I quit at just the right time.
Now I wish I'd never seen it. I should have seen this coming. You were right.
I read the name and thought "Ben Mankiewicz? The Turner Classic Movies guy?"
And...yep, same man. Saw him do some stuff with AEW earlier this year. What a shame he's a prick.
I don't care for the movie, but I will say this:
Ever read those Choose Your Own Adventure books in school, the ones by Edward Packard?
David Corenswet is his grandson.
"Death solves all problems. No man, no problem."
Meanwhile, Rune Factory 3 Special has a mode where you can make every girl wear a swimsuit at all times of the year.
Then again, it also replaced Todd Haberkorn as Micah and Caitlin Glass as Shara solely because they're friends with Vic Mignogna.
Then they replaced all but one actor (Cindy Robinson as Raven) to obscure the reasoning.
One: Huh. You hit so many of the other marks, and that guy has HUNDREDS of accounts. But you have so few comments that I suppose you're not aware of how prolific that loser is.
Two: I'm not a leftist (anymore--saw the light over 20 years ago), and my own comment history will prove that.
Three: Who cares? Trump won. Tactics worked, baby.

FOUND ANOTHER PAJEET ALT
Who/what was 2.0?
I'm reminded of MasakoX's famous what-if on if Raditz turned good.
Raditz chose to keep his tail, thus was required to stay indoors whenever there was a full moon, to prevent himself from becoming that wild giant monkey. He didn't trust himself to be disciplined enough to control it.
Fun fact: In one of the fan projects about that, Dragon Ball R&R, Raditz was voiced by a then-unknown Kevin Afghani.
Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his cell to keep from snitching on which politicians were fucking actual children
And they're worried about fictional characters
Gary Gygax was a Christian? I had no idea. Wow.
Just goes to show you can entertain a thought for a fictional setting without accepting it in real life.
There's a guy on X named Colonel Otaku Gatekeeper who had a great video about this.
And she had serious brain damage from a heavy weight falling on her head.
I'm not making that up.
My Hero Academia started going downhill the instant Kohei Horikoshi changed the name of that doctor.
I wasn't even being political. I was pointing out how everyone else was slamming an irrelevant metric, while I pointed out that they were #4 out of at least 200 shows in the 18-49 demo, which is what actually matters.
Then, referencing previous shadowbanned comments for doing just that, I said "This comment's not going to show up, is it?"
And that triggered some mod.
Not that TV ratings will matter much soon. They're going streaming on Max starting January 1.
Yesterday I got a five-day ban from r/SquaredCircle for...being positive and having perspective about All Elite Wrestling in the weekly Dynamite ratings thread.
The mods of that subreddit encourage negativity and punish positivity.
That being my SECOND ban, I knew the writing was on the wall, so I nuked my account and closed it.
I know you don't believe this.
You told me you only do this BECAUSE YOU CAN.
Healthy attitude. Or sociopathic, depending on intent. I'll lean the former for now.
I'm still surprised I got so much karma for this reason.
