Am I insane for thinking that should be a dogso red? Especially on the replay from other angles Morris was through with no other defender anywhere close

Unfortunately a busy road with a proper sidewalk. As much as I hate running through exhaust fumes it's better than being clipped by a side mirror at 50 mph because people drive like assholes in residential areas.

This is the thing about AI that I love so much. Think of all the morons you know (many on this site!) using and swearing by this tech that can change the output depending on who is controlling the AI. And those dumbasses still believe it should be used for anything regarding data!

Millions of reasons why I hate this (and most of real life right now), but everyone acting like they have no free will might make me the angriest. "We can't simply make MORE money, we have no choice but to make the MOST money even if we're screwing our future selves. It's out of our hands!"

The thing about moving to Renton is any dreams of being a ‘big club’ are gone for a generation. Maybe they are cos-playing as one now, but the potential is there. It won’t be in Renton.

Interesting that layoffs in Seattle mean our progressive policies are hurting businesses, but layoffs in corporate sycophant Bellevue is not even news. I guess it doesn't fit the narrative?

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Muñoz gave up a single, and then retired three straight batters. That's a beauty of a 4-out save if a moron|concussion victim (not clear) isn't playing center field.

His WC game 1 against Toronto was my first Mariners playoff game - a game I waited my entire childhood and young-adulthood to see. And so it was for tens or hundreds of thousands of other young Seattleites. I trust he’ll be remembered by us.

2023 was the most annoying season of the Dipoto era, but yes this is very likely his most annoying roster. I’m still annoyed by 6 or 7 specific games from 2023.

If you want Poch to “do the right thing” and bench him, fine. But it’s the coach’s job to make those kinds of choices, not the players’. They’ve waited their entire lives for these handful of games.

He doesn’t deserve to be stuck in this bullshit, yet you demand that he parse politics and FIFA corruption to make that kind of decision? He’s a player at his first World Cup. He has no obligation other than to take the field when eligible and play his best. A truly asinine take from you.

I think there‘s a shot at better seasons from Gilbert/Kirby/Miller. Donovan was showing some career-year potential early on. I’ve never rooted for a team after an ALCS appearance before. At what point of “goodness” does the goal go from upside to maintenance? How much upside do the Yankees have?

I think you’re going a bit too far there. It’s a really bad defensive team, because it’s made up of bad defensive players, but JP is the only player clearly on the wrong side of their prime. I do agree that “run it back” isn’t that fun a path when last years team already exceeded it‘s talent level

She reportedly parted ways with Bezos with a jaw-dropping $38.3 billion in Amazon stock. Their divorce settlement included a 4 % stake in the online retail giant or 19.7 million shares.

Since the New Deal, the right edge of the conservative movement has been committed to the goal of eliminating all facets of the federal government that do good in the world, leaving behind only a war machine and a surveillance operation capable of containing the “internal leftist enemy.”

I think writing your stories with AI so you can "focus on reporting" is both disrespectful to your audience and a guarantee that you don't do good reporting, because you're clearly not a fan of quality information. Negative levels of respect for people that do this.

It's recklessly irresponsible (talking to you, Business Insider) to write these words as if they have any connection to reality. So tired of the idea that "unbiased" reporting means credulously translating the ludicrous statements of con-men.
