If Norway just created a Noble Prize, would he notice the difference? And if you surprised him with it in person, no one could ever point out that it wasn’t the Nobel prize as trump can’t stand to ever be wrong so he’d say that’s the one he really wanted all along.
Problem solved, someone can nominate me for the second Noble prize.
So, I’m a filthy casual (this was the first game I’ve watched the entirety of on tv) so while I was happy about the win, I kept grinning when I thought about how stoked you must be.
Anyway, hope you’re still enjoying that “we won!” Post glow!
Well, hopefully that’ll make it that much more awesome when they win the whole thing?
That was a terrifying inning!
Not great for the heart but damn, this is such a tense and exciting game!
A bit late to the party but I have a handful that might work.
For spooky and eerie vibes, Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer. (Turned into a movie that really doesn’t capture the feeling.) Just a great sense of creepy dread throughout. I read it alone in a large house in the dark and loved feeling the hair on the back of my neck rise.
Real life horror, The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston. About Ebola, freaking terrifying gross and real.
And if you’re looking for classics, he’s a bad person but a solid gothic writer, HP Lovecraft. Not all the stories work but a lot are pretty good at evoking dread. Almost any of his collections of short stories works!
I think it’s Heroes of Might and Magic 2?
After reading the article “OH! I guess at her mom’s funeral wasn’t the right spot.”
I organize a few co-ed soccer teams. My Tuesday team all said whether they would or wouldn’t play without me having to nag anyone, which is always nice.
At work, a project I’ve been leading for what feels like an eternity just crossed the second last hump and most of my efforts towards it are done (for now until something explodes.)
Apparently the fediverse enjoyed a silly meme I made, which is always nice as I like to try to contribute to this place.
Just watched Yesavage strike out the side, what a beast!
Yeah now, again not to jinx it, but things look pretty good?
Though my vague understanding was our bullpen isn’t as deep as we might like so, who knows?
I finished a flick at film fest, jumped into a local bar and joined in just in time to watch the Clement out and then Gausman load the bases.
Apologies if I jinxed this.
Edit: Thank you Varland for making me feel much less guilty!
Ha, that is totally fair and probably a better read of the Fediverse.
Hey there! One small thought, I imagine there are going to be a lot of bandwagon folks who will be interested this Saturday! You might consider a crosspost to c/Toronto or even on the main /canada communities? If I didn’t have plans on Saturday, I’d be pretty curious about watching my first full baseball game on tv (I’ve only ever watched live or playing) and making it known there’s a large game day thread or something might help folks stumble upon the community.
Just some unsolicited thoughts. (Hopefully I’ll see you fine folks here for at least a few games this post season, apologies in advance for the dumb questions!)
I imagine solvent banking institutions, retirement funds and the like are something that most people seriously need but barely think about. If the most valuable listed American company finds its value plummetting from 4 trillion to a few billion, there will be all sorts of fun and interesting revelations about the entire American financial system.
That being said, you are absolutely welcome to post your own memes which meet your specifications!
First time fan, and I’ve only watched the highlights, but it’s been a blast of a season to follow along!
Not a real response, but this is a very nice comment and I think it’s the type of thing that makes the fediverse a better place.
I got one a few months ago that is my abslolute favourite, not sure if it counts. Important context, I’m 40 but still play soccer with folks as young as 20. So, one game I’m defending against a young fast kid and beat him to the ball (barely!) a few times in a row on long ball chases. After the third or fourth time he looks over after the race and says “You’re really fast for an… uhhh uh uh, you’re really fast!”
He meant so well and it was adorable watching him realize mid sentence that I probably didn’t want to be called an old man.
Oh interesting, I’ll look into that. I’ve always felt pretty tuckered after beach volleyball so just assumed that was somehow higher impact.
As usual, the best jokes are in the comments. (Though goddamn I chuckled at the meme.)
