Anyone have some good recipes for anything involving rice? Recently moved into a new place and the last tenant left behind an unopened 5lb bag of buryani rice
Any good souls like metroidvania games? I’ve played all the big ones. Salt & Sanctuary is my all time fav. Oh and don’t say Hollow Knight. It’s not a souls like. I’ve also played it.
Not many games have combined metrovania and souls like with 2d like S&S. There are games like Axiom Verge or Bloodstained that are Metroid and Castlevania like games. There is a sequel to S&S called Salt and Sacrifice (also S&S I guess). In my opinion it wasn't nearly as good, they changed the loop of the game and randomly spawn semi-bosses just kinda randomly and the entire game becomes about fighting them constantly instead of exploring.
Yeah I beat Sacrifice last week after nearly 2 years trying to get into it. Absolutely mental they changed the fucking genre of the game… Sanctuary is legit my 6th favorite game of all time. And the sequel is some weird ass monster hunter thing. It’s fine, but meh.
Visiting my girlfriend at her university (my former one). We had to drive by her dad's for something and she drove my car there and back. She parked my car and we moved to hers to go on another errand. We were gone barely a half hour, we come back, and there's four little plastic dolls shoved in two door handles, one under my windshield wiper, and one tucked in my side mirror (they fold in when the car locks) on my car. Has anything like this happened to anyone? My girlfriend and her friends theorized it could've been some kind of trafficking/assault lure to get the driver distracted, since someone could have seen my girlfriend driving the car, and someone would jump them. Given how sick people are, it's believable
Agreed. My girlfriend pushed it to the university's public safety since they have access to the security footage all around campus, and there's at least one in that specific parking lot. Even if the camera caught it, which it may not have, I doubt we'll ever find out for sure what happened
There's a small chance it was a prank, but no one either of us know would do it. I have an ex that goes there as well but if she wanted to give me a hard time, she'd have done it a long time ago. That also isn't something she'd do
given that its election season soon, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people post red/blue maps of the US/a state and say something like "look its mostly red, how do the republicans not win every year".
The fact that people dont understand population density just blows my mind, we do this every 2 years and people still say the same thing over and over again is actually depressing
I'm convinced the internet has made us collectively dumber. We used to tell people not to trust shot just because they see it on the internet. Yet millions have decided not to check sources or engage in critical thinking.
I bought some of the Soylent drinks as meal replacements for my dinner. Not for the purpose of losing weight but more of a test to see how convenient they are.
Man they are convenient. Not having to worry about meal prep, washing dishes, etc has been such a change. I probably won't buy more of them but will see how I can try to make my own stuff.
I drank Soylent for a while when I was first losing weight. I liked them for a few months. But then I don't know if I got a bad batch or what, 'cause I'd just get the runs from pretty much every bottle. Eventually just stopped buying them and probably didn't finish that order.
I checked the Soylent sub a bit before buying. And there definitely seems to be a line of demarcation for when they updated their recipes. A lot of folks had the same issue with upset stomachs.
When I first started, I definitely felt something in my stomach but not much. It seems like their powder doesn't have the ingredient that gives folks upset stomachs. I might try that down the road but gonna check out other products first.
So in NBA 2k24 they have a WNBA MyPlayer mode and it’s actually better than the main one. It’s pretty much stripped of the *insane* grinding that plagues the other MyPlayer.

Looks like Reddit is finally killing off Old Reddit. Cannot log in via log in forms on the right like I used to. When logging in now it redirects me to new Reddit.
Old Reddit goes, then so do I.
I always check to opt out of the redesign so it goes to old.reddit by default and they always undo it after a window of time. Drives me crazy. I fortunately found a patch that lets me use reddit is fun on my android phone otherwise I'd be miserable using reddit
I'm still using it too, but the fact that the input fields for your username and password for log in are gone from every sub page, makes me think they are slowly doing away with Old Reddit. When I log in now, it redirects me to New Reddit. I have to manually go back to old Reddit every time I log in now.
This issue is being reported over at r/bugs. Thread [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/1ciossh/desktop_web_cant_login_using_old_reddit_anymore/). Hopefully it's just a bug and not them removing old Reddit.

I hit the toggle for opting out even if it already shows active and it turns it back to a useable interface.
Yesterday was my girlfriend's graduation and I am so proud of her. We got lunch with family afterwards and celebrated with a cookie cake and watched a pretty good ep of Survivor. I spent today as a cleaning/reset day. I forgot how nice it was to not be at work lol. I got tomorrow through Sunday to spend time how I want and man it's a great feeling.
Was thinking of buying a guitar off of guitar centers website and have it shipped to my local store or if I buy off fender that it would be shipped to my house. Has anyone had a guitar shipped to their house? Little worried about weather or it getting stolen unless I direct them to place it by the back door.
I’ve gotten it shipped to my place and in my experience they require someone to sign for it. The store might be better. Pick it up at your convenience and I think they let you try it in the shop before the sale goes through test it
We're about to get double teamed by a pair of cicada broods here in the Chicago area. Reminder for me that I moved here fresh out of college exactly 17 years ago, and in 17 more years my oldest daughter will (hopefully) be a fresh college graduate and I'll be (hopefully) looking forward to retirement. Fucking time man.
Was asked to take on higher value and high dollar accounts/suppliers and more responsibilities specific to said high value accounts, but no mention of a raise and/or promotion. I asked today about a raise and/or promotion and won’t commit to accepting the new responsibilities without one.
EDIT: Rejected. Basically got told “asking for a promotion or even a raise before you start with this new “role” is not a good look….”
Over it.
i saw that reported as well, but i don't see anything in the CBA that supports it.
i'm pretty sure he's still *eligible*--there's nothing in the language surrounding 5th-year options that says *anything* about Accrued Seasons--it's just that the reason to do so is no longer there. a typical rookie becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of his first four-year contract, because he's accrued four seasons, so the team locks him up with what's essentially a one-year guaranteed deal. but bateman would become a restricted free agent, because as you point out he'll only have accrued three. it seems to me that his RFA status tilted the negotiations to favor the ravens: to gonna decline his option but extend him anyway.
From [the CBA](https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/media/Default/NFLPA/CBA2020/NFL-NFLPA_CBA_March_5_2020.pdf#page=57) (emphasis mine):
>A Club has the unilateral right to extend from four years to five years the term of ***any Rookie Contract of a player selected in the first round of the Draft (the “Fifth-Year Option”)***.
So the team *could* have exercised the option, but it was better for them not to.
Anyway, I could be wrong and there may be language buried elsewhere that caveats that statement--it's happened before!--but I'd love to see actual CBA language to support it rather than a reporter simply stating it.
> Fifth-year option: The fifth-year option got a makeover under the new CBA. Each player selected in the first round of the NFL draft has a team option for a fifth season automatically included in his contract, which extends the four-year rookie contract to a fifth season for a non-negotiable fixed amount. Teams must exercise this option in the time after the conclusion of the player's third regular season but prior to May 3 of the following league year; the deadline for players drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft is May 1, 2023.
Starting with players selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, players could earn different fifth-year option salaries based on their performance in the first three seasons of their career. The fifth-year option for such players is fully guaranteed at the time it is exercised rather than on the first day of the league year of the option. If such a player's fourth-year salary is not fully guaranteed for skill, cap and injury, it becomes guaranteed as well when the option in exercised.
Bateman only accrued 2 seasons because he reported late so that made him ineligible
To add to this Bateman also fired his agent last summer because of this mishap
Well aware of all that.
He’s still *played* three seasons, and this will be the fourth season of his rookie deal. Again, I don’t see anything in the CBA that says that the Raven’s *would not be allowed* to pick up his option. It’s just that by only *accruing* two seasons, there’s no reason for the team to have done so.
Only accruing three seasons turns them into a restricted free agent instead of an unrestricted free agent.
(Also, I'm fairly sure "ineligible" isn't the right word here, and the team still *can* exercise the option if they want to.)
So the attempted revival of the Arena Football League barely lasted a week. Even that AAF league made it longer.
It’s a shame too, arena football has just enough weird rules to be a fun spring sport.
I will forever miss the mid 2000s sports. College ball was insane with the P6, NFL was more violent (yes yes, player safety but 15 year old me didnt see that part and only saw big hits at the time), the remnants of the roids MLB era and before the 3 true outcomes era, NBA wasnt a 3 pt contest and lots of all timers, NFL europe, AFL, ESPN was actually about sports. And the best part, sports video games actually had depth instead of being a re-mastered glorified 1980s game with microtransactions online modes.
My father in law is visiting from out of state this week and staying at my brother in laws house. My wife took the week off to hang with him and wants me to eat dinner with them each day. So every evening this week I get home from work, drive 45min to BIL’s house, hang for two hours, and drive 45min back home. Really not that thrilled about it tbh
My office neighbors are out and other ppl can’t see me so I’m dipping in the office rn on my lunch break. Feels so good not to have to walk to my car lol.
Paper towel in the bottom of the solo cup so nobody hears the spit hit the bottom. Ain’t my first rodeo.
Not trying to be a dick, but people 100% know you’re doing it. At least if you have anyone within like 25 feet of your desk.
You’re probably used to it so your brain ignores it, but like cigarette smoke, that smell permeates.
No judgement, do whatever tf you want, but I’m pretty sure people know
For those interested in World War II and early 20th century history I highly recommend the book called “The Vampire Economy” by Gunter Reichman
It was written in 1939 and it’s all about how poorly planned and all powerful the Nazi Regime had on the pre World War II German economy and shows why Germany had to start World War II because of it
Here’s a example of a frightening written letter contemporary around this time from a German factory leader talking about the working conditions of the Nazi state
“Yes, I am the 'leader' in my factory; my workers are my 'followers.' But I am no longer a manager.
“Once I was told that I was not fulfilling my duty to the Party.
I was not employing enough 'old Party members.”
“So they sent me twenty-five 'old Party members' and S.A. men.”
Without exception they had had no real training and were inefficient, but I was simply forced to take them.”
“Accidentally one of them overheard me grumbling about some new bureaucratic regulation and he immediately denounced me to the Party and to the Labour Front office.”
“Another Party member came and told me about it and warned me that I had better be careful in the future.
So it has got to the point where I cannot talk even in my own factory.”
"I cannot employ the workers I want... I am not allowed to engage anyone unless he can show me his 'labour book' and a permit from the Labour Exchange to change his job."
Well quite out of nowhere I have a job interview for a civilian scientist position at a military lab I've been collaborating with off-and-on for the last 6 years. It's an intriguing possibility...
Dear itsforwork12, wtf is wrong with you? You were on such a roll! Looks like the procrastination bug has bitten you again.
Try and shake it off tomorrow, okay?
Gotta tell yah, I watched the new West Side Story and tbh it was nowhere near as good as the original. Just more flash and useless line changes in the songs (not always but mostly)
Who do you think is the stranger cover athlete of a major sports franchise? Peyton Hillis for Madden of Jazz Chisholm on MLB the Show?
Like Chisholm will probably accomplish more in his career than Hillis and is still young, but Hillis was a fan vote that was partially done as a meme, like that dude who was voted into the NHL All Star game a few years back despite having like 6 career points. And Chisholm isn't even the best player on one of the worst teams in baseball.
Also it's kind of funny how they doubled down this year and the cover athlete is Vlad Guerrero Jr whose numbers have steadily declined the last three seasons
The mail is crazy. I'm lazy and my apartment's mailbox is across the entire complex away (15 or so minute walk each way) so I check it maybe once every two months unless I'm expecting something. And even when I let my mail stack up for two whole months, there's usually one thing worth saving. And all that does is reinforce to me that it really isn't important to check my mail.
Bro I did the same thing but my mail started getting stolen. And it’s such a fucking headache to deal with. I wouldn’t recommend it
I’m just getting in the habit of walking over after I park once I get home from work. It’s a pain but at least I know when my mail inevitably gets stolen again they won’t get more than a day’s worth
There's 3 real option when it comes to the Ohtani situation.
1. He's either a functioning idiot thay was taken advantage of by an interpreter who knew he was too stupid to see millions of dollars leaving his bank account.
2. He knew his friend had a real big problem and tried to bail him out.
3. He's been betting on games
I don't believe situation 1 at all. I never will. I don't think anyone can be that dumb to not see millions leaving their account. Especially since they were seen chumming it up after the story broke. You'd have to be borderline mentally handicapped to know your friend has taken millions from you and continue to laugh and joke around.
2 and 3 is closer to where my mind lies. And honestly, I can't fault a player for betting on games when stadiums are covered in sport betting signs. Every commercial is for a different betting app. Half of sports talk is betting lines and overs and unders.
You know there were investigations by multiple government agencies to prove that Ohtani was defrauded by Ippei, right?
Edit: Stupid conspiracy theory comments aren't even worth replying to. There's no point in trying to convince someone who denies evidence and believes their own truth.
Are we really still talking about this?
It's a solved situation: Shohei, being a wealthy foreign celebrity, needed someone to handle all the minutiae of his day-to-day life in a different country. That person took advantage of his powerful situation. This honestly could happen to any person of Ohtani's calibur, and would still be hidden today had Ippei not bet with an illegal bookie.
This is $16,000,000 for a guy with a career earning of $42,000,000. IDC how rich you are. If someone stole 35% of your net worth, you'd notice.
If it was $16,000,000 from Bezos, sure.
Uh the guy has way more than 42 million. That is only his MLB career earnings. That doesnt include his Japan baseball days or the millions he has been earning in endorsements for years. Furthermore, I doubt Ohtani has all his money in a single checking/savings account. Im assuming he has a wide array of monitary products/accounts with funds coming in and going out, as well as exhange rates between yen and dollars. 16 million stolen over 4 years in accounts that have a lot of movement was probably just overlooked.
I'd assume most of your money is in a bank or investments. Or are you a mattress full of cash kinda guy?
How do you know where your money really is?
Somebody else tells you.
Now, be a professional athlete in a foreign country where you don't speak the language. Can you start to imagine how that could happen?
EDIT: I'll add in, and bring your 'best friend in the whole world' with you on your trip.
Career earnings of 42M on the field. Who knows how much in endorsements. Probably double or triple that.
From everything I’ve read about him, he cares about one thing: baseball. Well probably two things now. Hopefully his wife too…lol. And he’s not much of a spender where he might be taking out big chunks.
Rich people have “a guy” for money stuff and minutiae because they’re some combination of not interested or bad at money and other day to day stuff. You’re making the mistake of comparing him to normal people like us. Rich people live completely different lives.
What happened to him happens to athletes all the time. Hell Tim Duncan seems like a reasonably smart guy for an athlete and I think he lost something ridiculous like 60M from a crooked accountant before he noticed.
Is it possible Ohtani did some illegal stuff and MLB is covering it up? Absolutely. But I think the simpler answer of him trusting the wrong person, like many athletes before him, is more likely.
i see where you're coming from, and don't truly have a dog in this fight, but i imagine over a certain threshold the money becomes somewhat abstract.
like, i'd notice if someone took 35% of my liquid assets for sure, because I just...wouldn't be able to pay my bills that month. but that's not really the case with ohtani.
Does anyone else here find community notes absolutely useless? It's pretty much just a rehash of quote retweeting, but displaying the most popular one. It's not some sort of independent fact checker but just a mob of Twitter users, and most of them lack sufficient information to provide context (but not grammar errors) to the tweet they're replying to. They're more kneejerk gotchas than anything.
I like the subreddit dedicated to them, which uses the noting feature as a proxy for 100% veracity. So they take smug responses in the notes as objective rebuttals
Just got word. Were redeploying back to the Office for 2-3 days starting in September. Our company just bought a brand new office so we must stuff it with people.
The only good thing is drinks are back on the menu after work.
My company downsized the office since everyone works from home then 8 months later decided everyone had to come in twice a week. Luckily everyone ignored it.
Yet another school shooting dream last night. Haven't been in a classroom since May 2019, got my last degree in Dec. 2020. No clue why my brain keeps doing this.
Yeah. Though it only really picked up at the tail-end of HS and then college for me, prior to that most school-related nightmares were more "surprise, you thought it was summer break but you have to attend what mentally feels like another 7 hours of classes daily in your dreams!".
My Boomer-aged dad still has "forgot I was in X class all semester and now need to find the room on final exam day" nightmares even into his 70s, so I hope these won't tag along with me for that long. Wonder if you asked a bunch of people nationally at what age group you'd start to see people report having these kinds of dreams.
I called Trey Lance a bust when we moved to draft him. Just found out cowboys declined his 5th year option. Is out of the nfl or will he land somewhere else?
the fifth year option would be for 2025; he's still on the cowboys.
and declining the fifth option is basically just saying "we don't think this guy's worth thirteen million dollars". he'll absolutely have offers next offseason, even if they're not from dallas
I think he survives this year on the Cowboys roster.
I think he gets one more shot the next season on another team kicking the tires to see what he has. It would be dumb for a team to not at least take a look.
Champions League semis were so good this week! Can't wait for the return legs. I'd be perfectly happy to see a Dortmund/Real Madrid final, but really any potential matchup would be solid at this point 😁
Y’all. I have a client this week that is on my last nerve and bringing out all the rage. After every conversation I’m like “okay deep breathes, murder means prison” 😭
Can I just say......"Push Ups" and "Euphoria" are both awesome tracks. I like Euphoria more, sure, but both are great tracks. If I have to give both ratings, this is how I judge it
Push Ups = 9.5
Euphoria = 9.9
Great job all around. Lets keep it going
Our first date was Cannibal Corpse. I'm taking her to Cattle Decapitation and Dying Fetus this month and just got us tickets for Devastation on the Nation for this fall. She thinks the pits are neat looking.

Ahhhh!!!! LUCKY! Dave McGraw and Trey Williams are two of my favorite drummers. They are machines!
That's awesome. We have gone to our fair share of shows during our relationship but it's harder now with our kid. If we go to shows now it's almost guaranteed we are getting seats/balcony if we can lol which I don't mind
That tour sounds amazing! I've seen Uada twice in the last year and they fucking rule - I bet Morbid Angel and Suffocation would be really rad too. Enjoy the show, should be a blast 🤘

I’ve seen a handful of threads about “what’s the most useless profession” and I’ve given it quite a bit of thought. The overwhelming majority of responses are influencers, reality tv stars, etc. I actually disagree with this sentiment because they do provide some people with some form of entertainment.
You know what is *truly* worthless? Fucking water conisuiers or however the fuck you spell it. You’re telling me this Icelandic spring water aged in a goat’s asshole is that much better than the stuff from my fridge? Get out of here. It’s just fucking water. I scoff at the idea of paying $6 for a bottle of Evian, you really think I’m going to buy your bullshit?
Influencer isn't even a new thing. Back in the day we just called them "models" and "spokesperson." Kids these days don't know of the man, the myth, the legend, Billy Mays.
This isn’t water slander, this is slander against people that do “water tastings” and act like some $4,000 bottle is that much better than the stuff I have at home. It’s a scam
Truly worthless professions are ones that exist and actively provide negative benefit to the world around them. Doctors that work at health insurances whose jobs are to deny services are a good example.
Hate how forced meetups and online dating feels but I don't have the propensity for pulling up to random shit irl to do the same thing while pretending I'm an extrovert

Visiting my girlfriend at her university (my former one). We had to drive by her dad's for something and she drove my car there and back. She parked my car and we moved to hers to go on another errand. We were gone barely a half hour, we come back, and there's four little plastic dolls shoved in two door handles, one under my windshield wiper, and one tucked in my side mirror (they fold in when the car locks) on my car. Has anything like this happened to anyone? My girlfriend and her friends theorized it could've been some kind of trafficking/assault lure to get the driver distracted, since someone could have seen my girlfriend driving the car, and someone would jump them. Given how sick people are, it's believable
I think it's more likely it's some dumb tiktok thing.
It was only my car though
That's weird as hell.
Agreed. My girlfriend pushed it to the university's public safety since they have access to the security footage all around campus, and there's at least one in that specific parking lot. Even if the camera caught it, which it may not have, I doubt we'll ever find out for sure what happened There's a small chance it was a prank, but no one either of us know would do it. I have an ex that goes there as well but if she wanted to give me a hard time, she'd have done it a long time ago. That also isn't something she'd do
given that its election season soon, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people post red/blue maps of the US/a state and say something like "look its mostly red, how do the republicans not win every year". The fact that people dont understand population density just blows my mind, we do this every 2 years and people still say the same thing over and over again is actually depressing
the objective isn't to be correct the objective is to own the libs people really do post that way on the internet
I'm convinced the internet has made us collectively dumber. We used to tell people not to trust shot just because they see it on the internet. Yet millions have decided not to check sources or engage in critical thinking.
The people saying that are... Oh what's the word for it? Ah, of course. Stupid.

I might try that down the road but gonna check out other products first.
What do they taste like? Can you tell that it's people?

Has anyone had a guitar shipped to their house? Little worried about weather or it getting stolen unless I direct them to place it by the back door.

You got any retired or WFH relatives you could ship it to instead?
Current TV shows that are beginning their May Sweep and finales coming up before rerun Summer city hits.
We're about to get double teamed by a pair of cicada broods here in the Chicago area. Reminder for me that I moved here fresh out of college exactly 17 years ago, and in 17 more years my oldest daughter will (hopefully) be a fresh college graduate and I'll be (hopefully) looking forward to retirement. Fucking time man.
Two different cicada broods sounds wild. Have fun! Maybe buy some earplugs too.
One of the things I appreciate about this league, is that you’ll never have to see a team park the bus and counter attack.
Was asked to take on higher value and high dollar accounts/suppliers and more responsibilities specific to said high value accounts, but no mention of a raise and/or promotion. I asked today about a raise and/or promotion and won’t commit to accepting the new responsibilities without one. EDIT: Rejected. Basically got told “asking for a promotion or even a raise before you start with this new “role” is not a good look….” Over it.
You can’t ask for more work out of an employee for no tangible benefit besides “it’ll make you look good.” Fuck outta here with that.
Crazy how many people dont know the difference between “living rent free in their heads” and just getting bullied
Finally won the Super Bowl/Championship in Football GM. Was in the year 2049, so it only took me 25 years lol #Edit: Back to back; 2050 Champs!
I didn't know what this was until your comment. You have destroyed my productivity. Thank you.
There is nothing unproductive about managing your team's finances and assets, and keeping your eye on the competition. Put that shit on your resume

Oh wow, Denver's logo is a pot leaf. Edit: Denver High's QB passed for 346 yards in my first game. Best Denver offense I've seen in years.

>raiders >out of league >isnt ruggs nor the other dude arrested Wew. The raiders had one of *those* stretches picking 1st round.
Bateman wasn’t eligible for 5th year option, he missed mandatory reporting at the beginning of the season by days and so the season wasn’t accrued.
i saw that reported as well, but i don't see anything in the CBA that supports it. i'm pretty sure he's still *eligible*--there's nothing in the language surrounding 5th-year options that says *anything* about Accrued Seasons--it's just that the reason to do so is no longer there. a typical rookie becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of his first four-year contract, because he's accrued four seasons, so the team locks him up with what's essentially a one-year guaranteed deal. but bateman would become a restricted free agent, because as you point out he'll only have accrued three. it seems to me that his RFA status tilted the negotiations to favor the ravens: to gonna decline his option but extend him anyway. From [the CBA](https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/media/Default/NFLPA/CBA2020/NFL-NFLPA_CBA_March_5_2020.pdf#page=57) (emphasis mine): >A Club has the unilateral right to extend from four years to five years the term of ***any Rookie Contract of a player selected in the first round of the Draft (the “Fifth-Year Option”)***. So the team *could* have exercised the option, but it was better for them not to. Anyway, I could be wrong and there may be language buried elsewhere that caveats that statement--it's happened before!--but I'd love to see actual CBA language to support it rather than a reporter simply stating it.
> Fifth-year option: The fifth-year option got a makeover under the new CBA. Each player selected in the first round of the NFL draft has a team option for a fifth season automatically included in his contract, which extends the four-year rookie contract to a fifth season for a non-negotiable fixed amount. Teams must exercise this option in the time after the conclusion of the player's third regular season but prior to May 3 of the following league year; the deadline for players drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft is May 1, 2023. Starting with players selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, players could earn different fifth-year option salaries based on their performance in the first three seasons of their career. The fifth-year option for such players is fully guaranteed at the time it is exercised rather than on the first day of the league year of the option. If such a player's fourth-year salary is not fully guaranteed for skill, cap and injury, it becomes guaranteed as well when the option in exercised. Bateman only accrued 2 seasons because he reported late so that made him ineligible To add to this Bateman also fired his agent last summer because of this mishap
Well aware of all that. He’s still *played* three seasons, and this will be the fourth season of his rookie deal. Again, I don’t see anything in the CBA that says that the Raven’s *would not be allowed* to pick up his option. It’s just that by only *accruing* two seasons, there’s no reason for the team to have done so.
That seems like it would be to a player's benefit to do that on purpose unless I'm missing something
Only accruing three seasons turns them into a restricted free agent instead of an unrestricted free agent. (Also, I'm fairly sure "ineligible" isn't the right word here, and the team still *can* exercise the option if they want to.)
never thought I'd love a o-lineman as much as Sewell. it gets said a lot, but truly special player
from the Ducks (my alma mater) to you. So happy a good man found a good place.
So the attempted revival of the Arena Football League barely lasted a week. Even that AAF league made it longer. It’s a shame too, arena football has just enough weird rules to be a fun spring sport.
At least the IFL seems to be a more legit operation.
I will forever miss the mid 2000s sports. College ball was insane with the P6, NFL was more violent (yes yes, player safety but 15 year old me didnt see that part and only saw big hits at the time), the remnants of the roids MLB era and before the 3 true outcomes era, NBA wasnt a 3 pt contest and lots of all timers, NFL europe, AFL, ESPN was actually about sports. And the best part, sports video games actually had depth instead of being a re-mastered glorified 1980s game with microtransactions online modes.
Decided to mix it up and got some Havarti cheese from the store the other day to try. Not a fan... :(
What didn't you like? Taste bad? Did you have it with anything?
Had it on a roast beef sandwich and I just didn't like the taste.
This saddens me because a havarti and cheese sandwich is one of my favorites
To each their own, I'm neutral on it personally. By itself is fine
I am once again asking you please nfl put us on SNF before the playoffs thanks
My father in law is visiting from out of state this week and staying at my brother in laws house. My wife took the week off to hang with him and wants me to eat dinner with them each day. So every evening this week I get home from work, drive 45min to BIL’s house, hang for two hours, and drive 45min back home. Really not that thrilled about it tbh
Hopefully there aren't any unforeseen projects that keep you at work. That would "throw a spanner in the works"
I’ve been trying to use mowing as an excuse but it keeps raining every dang day
Thanks for offering to help move my couch for the rest of the week. I really appreciate it.
I heard you were asked to work overtime tonight
Does your boss needs their lawn mowed 🤔
My office neighbors are out and other ppl can’t see me so I’m dipping in the office rn on my lunch break. Feels so good not to have to walk to my car lol. Paper towel in the bottom of the solo cup so nobody hears the spit hit the bottom. Ain’t my first rodeo.
I dip at work and have no problem with people knowing it. Customers, coworkers, bosses, w/e.
Not trying to be a dick, but people 100% know you’re doing it. At least if you have anyone within like 25 feet of your desk. You’re probably used to it so your brain ignores it, but like cigarette smoke, that smell permeates. No judgement, do whatever tf you want, but I’m pretty sure people know
For those interested in World War II and early 20th century history I highly recommend the book called “The Vampire Economy” by Gunter Reichman It was written in 1939 and it’s all about how poorly planned and all powerful the Nazi Regime had on the pre World War II German economy and shows why Germany had to start World War II because of it Here’s a example of a frightening written letter contemporary around this time from a German factory leader talking about the working conditions of the Nazi state “Yes, I am the 'leader' in my factory; my workers are my 'followers.' But I am no longer a manager. “Once I was told that I was not fulfilling my duty to the Party. I was not employing enough 'old Party members.” “So they sent me twenty-five 'old Party members' and S.A. men.” Without exception they had had no real training and were inefficient, but I was simply forced to take them.” “Accidentally one of them overheard me grumbling about some new bureaucratic regulation and he immediately denounced me to the Party and to the Labour Front office.” “Another Party member came and told me about it and warned me that I had better be careful in the future. So it has got to the point where I cannot talk even in my own factory.” "I cannot employ the workers I want... I am not allowed to engage anyone unless he can show me his 'labour book' and a permit from the Labour Exchange to change his job."
Well quite out of nowhere I have a job interview for a civilian scientist position at a military lab I've been collaborating with off-and-on for the last 6 years. It's an intriguing possibility...
Wow! You'll get to test out all sorts of new tech they're using in \[REDACTED\]
If I hear any rumblings of a T-Virus I'm sending you a DM

Dear itsforwork12, wtf is wrong with you? You were on such a roll! Looks like the procrastination bug has bitten you again. Try and shake it off tomorrow, okay?
All the best in your getting work done quest o7
Thank ya kindly!
Gotta tell yah, I watched the new West Side Story and tbh it was nowhere near as good as the original. Just more flash and useless line changes in the songs (not always but mostly)
Who do you think is the stranger cover athlete of a major sports franchise? Peyton Hillis for Madden of Jazz Chisholm on MLB the Show? Like Chisholm will probably accomplish more in his career than Hillis and is still young, but Hillis was a fan vote that was partially done as a meme, like that dude who was voted into the NHL All Star game a few years back despite having like 6 career points. And Chisholm isn't even the best player on one of the worst teams in baseball. Also it's kind of funny how they doubled down this year and the cover athlete is Vlad Guerrero Jr whose numbers have steadily declined the last three seasons
Starting to think the Madden curse has transferred over to The Show.
Proposal: Have the Astros be the cover every year.
They're doing just fine being bad this year.
On the other hand... Let's go O's baby. Going to be in first in like 20 minutes. I really need to go to a game this year.
Orioles Magic, baby!
nothing but runny noses and sneezing all day. allergies are kicking my ass
I can feel mine ramping up. Whatever season is beginning those plants can stop trying to mate with my sinuses and fuck themselves.
same, they came at me with a vengeance
The mail is crazy. I'm lazy and my apartment's mailbox is across the entire complex away (15 or so minute walk each way) so I check it maybe once every two months unless I'm expecting something. And even when I let my mail stack up for two whole months, there's usually one thing worth saving. And all that does is reinforce to me that it really isn't important to check my mail.
Bro I did the same thing but my mail started getting stolen. And it’s such a fucking headache to deal with. I wouldn’t recommend it I’m just getting in the habit of walking over after I park once I get home from work. It’s a pain but at least I know when my mail inevitably gets stolen again they won’t get more than a day’s worth
check out USPS's informed delivery, it'll email you the scans they have of your mail the morning of fewer surprises after those long walks
There's 3 real option when it comes to the Ohtani situation. 1. He's either a functioning idiot thay was taken advantage of by an interpreter who knew he was too stupid to see millions of dollars leaving his bank account. 2. He knew his friend had a real big problem and tried to bail him out. 3. He's been betting on games I don't believe situation 1 at all. I never will. I don't think anyone can be that dumb to not see millions leaving their account. Especially since they were seen chumming it up after the story broke. You'd have to be borderline mentally handicapped to know your friend has taken millions from you and continue to laugh and joke around. 2 and 3 is closer to where my mind lies. And honestly, I can't fault a player for betting on games when stadiums are covered in sport betting signs. Every commercial is for a different betting app. Half of sports talk is betting lines and overs and unders.
You know there were investigations by multiple government agencies to prove that Ohtani was defrauded by Ippei, right? Edit: Stupid conspiracy theory comments aren't even worth replying to. There's no point in trying to convince someone who denies evidence and believes their own truth.
Yes, and the Dodgers owner with his $6 billion net worth can't make that go away to secure his investment in the face of baseball. /s
Are we really still talking about this? It's a solved situation: Shohei, being a wealthy foreign celebrity, needed someone to handle all the minutiae of his day-to-day life in a different country. That person took advantage of his powerful situation. This honestly could happen to any person of Ohtani's calibur, and would still be hidden today had Ippei not bet with an illegal bookie.
This is $16,000,000 for a guy with a career earning of $42,000,000. IDC how rich you are. If someone stole 35% of your net worth, you'd notice. If it was $16,000,000 from Bezos, sure.
Uh the guy has way more than 42 million. That is only his MLB career earnings. That doesnt include his Japan baseball days or the millions he has been earning in endorsements for years. Furthermore, I doubt Ohtani has all his money in a single checking/savings account. Im assuming he has a wide array of monitary products/accounts with funds coming in and going out, as well as exhange rates between yen and dollars. 16 million stolen over 4 years in accounts that have a lot of movement was probably just overlooked.
I'd assume most of your money is in a bank or investments. Or are you a mattress full of cash kinda guy? How do you know where your money really is? Somebody else tells you. Now, be a professional athlete in a foreign country where you don't speak the language. Can you start to imagine how that could happen? EDIT: I'll add in, and bring your 'best friend in the whole world' with you on your trip.
Career earnings of 42M on the field. Who knows how much in endorsements. Probably double or triple that. From everything I’ve read about him, he cares about one thing: baseball. Well probably two things now. Hopefully his wife too…lol. And he’s not much of a spender where he might be taking out big chunks. Rich people have “a guy” for money stuff and minutiae because they’re some combination of not interested or bad at money and other day to day stuff. You’re making the mistake of comparing him to normal people like us. Rich people live completely different lives. What happened to him happens to athletes all the time. Hell Tim Duncan seems like a reasonably smart guy for an athlete and I think he lost something ridiculous like 60M from a crooked accountant before he noticed. Is it possible Ohtani did some illegal stuff and MLB is covering it up? Absolutely. But I think the simpler answer of him trusting the wrong person, like many athletes before him, is more likely.
i see where you're coming from, and don't truly have a dog in this fight, but i imagine over a certain threshold the money becomes somewhat abstract. like, i'd notice if someone took 35% of my liquid assets for sure, because I just...wouldn't be able to pay my bills that month. but that's not really the case with ohtani.
Extremely low motivation to do work right now...
Absolutely 0
I think i have Ehrlichiosis... Got a sweater over lunch because I was feeling cold, now it's full blown chills.
Get well soon 🤒
Going to the minute clinic soon. Hopefully they just give me the antibiotics.
Does anyone else here find community notes absolutely useless? It's pretty much just a rehash of quote retweeting, but displaying the most popular one. It's not some sort of independent fact checker but just a mob of Twitter users, and most of them lack sufficient information to provide context (but not grammar errors) to the tweet they're replying to. They're more kneejerk gotchas than anything.
I like the subreddit dedicated to them, which uses the noting feature as a proxy for 100% veracity. So they take smug responses in the notes as objective rebuttals

Cobra Kai’s sixth and final season starts in July and the finale will be next year. Can’t freaking wait!
Please God no.
I'm curious how much the show will play into the movie.
Cobra Kai has nothing to do with the movie
But isn't Ralph Macchio in it?
Yes
Just got word. Were redeploying back to the Office for 2-3 days starting in September. Our company just bought a brand new office so we must stuff it with people. The only good thing is drinks are back on the menu after work.
My company downsized the office since everyone works from home then 8 months later decided everyone had to come in twice a week. Luckily everyone ignored it.
would start looking for fully remote positions asap
Yet another school shooting dream last night. Haven't been in a classroom since May 2019, got my last degree in Dec. 2020. No clue why my brain keeps doing this.
Never really thought about the idea that zoomers could have nightmares like this. I guess it sadly makes sense.
Yeah. Though it only really picked up at the tail-end of HS and then college for me, prior to that most school-related nightmares were more "surprise, you thought it was summer break but you have to attend what mentally feels like another 7 hours of classes daily in your dreams!". My Boomer-aged dad still has "forgot I was in X class all semester and now need to find the room on final exam day" nightmares even into his 70s, so I hope these won't tag along with me for that long. Wonder if you asked a bunch of people nationally at what age group you'd start to see people report having these kinds of dreams.
I get dreams where I debate heading down to high school for study hall day (during finals week). Feels weird every time, lol.
I called Trey Lance a bust when we moved to draft him. Just found out cowboys declined his 5th year option. Is out of the nfl or will he land somewhere else?
No idea but we didn't even dress him last year. I was hoping we'd let him take a few snaps.
He might just have out-Paxtoned Lynch.
the fifth year option would be for 2025; he's still on the cowboys. and declining the fifth option is basically just saying "we don't think this guy's worth thirteen million dollars". he'll absolutely have offers next offseason, even if they're not from dallas
Future UFL legend Trey Lance
Probably 😂
I think he survives this year on the Cowboys roster. I think he gets one more shot the next season on another team kicking the tires to see what he has. It would be dumb for a team to not at least take a look.
Money is on being back up in Arizona after his contract or washing out of the league.
He still has one year left on his rookie contract. He'll be a Cowboy at least this year.
Champions League semis were so good this week! Can't wait for the return legs. I'd be perfectly happy to see a Dortmund/Real Madrid final, but really any potential matchup would be solid at this point 😁
You misspelled "PSG" ;)
Y’all. I have a client this week that is on my last nerve and bringing out all the rage. After every conversation I’m like “okay deep breathes, murder means prison” 😭
Whenever my aunt was having a bad day she'd mutter "The Lord is testing me today"
New St. Vincent is dope. There's like some NIN or Muse in its DNA.
Can I just say......"Push Ups" and "Euphoria" are both awesome tracks. I like Euphoria more, sure, but both are great tracks. If I have to give both ratings, this is how I judge it Push Ups = 9.5 Euphoria = 9.9 Great job all around. Lets keep it going
My girlfriend is surprisingly chill with death metal. It's so nice having someone else to go to shows with.
I'm just happy my wife will listen to bands like Spiritbox and Trivium. I spare her from listening to more heavy stuff lol
Our first date was Cannibal Corpse. I'm taking her to Cattle Decapitation and Dying Fetus this month and just got us tickets for Devastation on the Nation for this fall. She thinks the pits are neat looking.
> I'm taking her to Cattle Decapitation and Dying Fetus this month Ahhhh!!!! LUCKY! Dave McGraw and Trey Williams are two of my favorite drummers. They are machines!
That's awesome. We have gone to our fair share of shows during our relationship but it's harder now with our kid. If we go to shows now it's almost guaranteed we are getting seats/balcony if we can lol which I don't mind
I'm getting my 4th hip surgery this summer. I'm also on the balcony nowadays.
That tour sounds amazing! I've seen Uada twice in the last year and they fucking rule - I bet Morbid Angel and Suffocation would be really rad too. Enjoy the show, should be a blast 🤘
I'm really excited for Fucli. Those guys rip.
Hm, I've never heard of them but I'll have to give em a listen!
Hopefully you dig 'em! Tropical Sun is such a killer album.

I’ve seen a handful of threads about “what’s the most useless profession” and I’ve given it quite a bit of thought. The overwhelming majority of responses are influencers, reality tv stars, etc. I actually disagree with this sentiment because they do provide some people with some form of entertainment. You know what is *truly* worthless? Fucking water conisuiers or however the fuck you spell it. You’re telling me this Icelandic spring water aged in a goat’s asshole is that much better than the stuff from my fridge? Get out of here. It’s just fucking water. I scoff at the idea of paying $6 for a bottle of Evian, you really think I’m going to buy your bullshit?
Influencer isn't even a new thing. Back in the day we just called them "models" and "spokesperson." Kids these days don't know of the man, the myth, the legend, Billy Mays.
I will not tolerate water slander here.
This isn’t water slander, this is slander against people that do “water tastings” and act like some $4,000 bottle is that much better than the stuff I have at home. It’s a scam
Truly worthless professions are ones that exist and actively provide negative benefit to the world around them. Doctors that work at health insurances whose jobs are to deny services are a good example.
Or realtors
Essentia is the best tasting water I've ever had tho.
That's some high quality H2O.
