Henchman of Santa posted:For some reason I can't get any comments on that article to come up. Are they as depressing as you would expect? quote:This how men have always treated each other. You want to come into our space, but not adhear to the rules. The rules are: the only opinion that matters belongs to the strongest and loudest, any difference is a sign of inferiority and should be ridiculed, the only proper response is to either take it or respond in kind. Yet women respond in exactly the way that delights us, to cry about it. The whole point of male group behavior is to break the weakest. To make their life miserable to the point of wanting to kill themselves. Who is the weakest? The one who cries. Thanks for delivering That's one of the more reasonable ones, if that tells you much.

Ribsauce posted:Stamps.com advertises on almost every single podcast that has advertising as far as I can tell. I have not done a survey of everyone I know, but I am pretty sure I don't know anyone who uses it. I certainly have never heard anyone mention it. Who the hell uses it? I send 100+ letters a month and I never even considered it, although maybe I should. Actually, after I typed this I went to their website and now I see how they make a ton of money. The monthly fee is 16 bucks! I bet half the people who signed up send like 2 letters a month with it. Stamps.com, meundies and that loving website building company. And draftkings, of course. Bill Burr does the best MeUndies reads. And he pissed off draftkings so bad they dropped him.

MourningView posted:I'm not super angry about it but I support Deadspin turning it into a big thing because it's funny to watch Brady uncomfortably squirm and be baffled that anyone might take issue with him saying that it'd be "great" for the virulently racist buffoon to be president because he likes playing golf with said racist buffoon and apparently is still super psyched about that time he got to judge a beauty pageant. That is the most perfectly Tom Brady basis for a political opinion there could possibly be. This. Also, the only reason I did deadspin/gawker sites is because grantland died, and I don't know a better alternative.

That and basketball writing tends to be atrocious. So is baseball, but no one cares about baseball so it's not as good for clickbait.

Inspector_666 posted:I agree with all of the points Deadpsin brought up but also PMT is the face of barstool. Yeah they don't actually run the company, but to paint PFT or Big Cat as "just some guy who works there" is disingenuous at best. Everyone I know that reads/watches barstool does so because of PFT/PMT. So he's definitely liable for what they do. Whether he does it or not, he's associated and takes the money.

The only responsibility anyone has in this life is to take home a paycheck and stay out of jail. He's getting his downloads, Wagner is getting her clicks. Live and let live, it's just internet. You're also a MAGA chud that should be launched into the big island, so this is just on brand.

The Kins posted:There's probably a great thread in people just retelling the ridiculous stories that orbit around their favourite sports/leagues/promotions, because god knows there's enough of them. Agreed. MMA just has a different take because until very recently it was so hidden. That straight up outlaw poo poo in the early promotions (or all of the eastern European promotions still) is goddamn fascinating. What other sport has a dude who sets records and gets shown on primetime/ppv who was basically a terrorist or at the very least supported invading terrorists? Because mma has more than one. Plus numerous murderers who were huge.

General Dog posted:If only like half of America even knows what a podcast is, here ~12 years into the medium, what reason is there to think it will experience substantial growth going forward? Isn’t it more likely we’re already at the peak? Doubtful. Its gaining steam, especially with younger people. The problem right now is it's very male dominated, and until they can find a way to get more women to listen it's not going to grow much larger. I mean, I live (and work) in a place that's not very up on current times (small town Florida) and almost all of the 25 and under crowd talk about listening to podcasts, to the point where there's actually discussions about episodes of certain ones. Hell, look at something like All Things Comedy. They have a deal with comedy central now, and started as purely a podcast network. Between that and larger festivals, it is growing. A bigger issue is how splintered they become, and people begging for money. I'm not giving you 10 bucks a month to hear a full interview, or any of that poo poo.

Crazy Ted posted:Look, be as cynical as you want but Facebook is still very likely to be hit with a massive lawsuit over this. Tidal was hit with a Class Action lawsuit over something similar not that long ago, because they were reporting incorrect statistics from their streaming service and it led to artists and record labels being underpaid on royalties. I thought the tidal thing was them lying massively about plays on songs, but the other direction? Like saying kanye's album was listened to like 8 times by all of earth and poo poo

MourningView posted:He's moved the definition of it around to fit whatever thing he's trying to prove at that given time. I don't think the post-Melo Nuggets were actually that much better though. They had the second best record in the west and made the conference finals in 08-09. They had a couple good regular season teams after he left but they always got bounced in the first round. Does it only apply to basketball? Somehow I've legit never heard of this, I avoid Simmons very well. Would the Eagles count when they won the SB after Wentz going down?

I mean what would you rather have: an occasional ad read in a podcast, or something more PBS in style where there's almost never any ads but a random episode might consist of 20% content and 80%, "Please visit these sponsors and also send us money". Any ad read that isnt Bill Burr is a bad ad read.

Mr. Funny Pants posted:I remember Mike Tyson always being listed as somewhere between 5'10" and six feet. My brother, who was 5'10", and me were ten feet away from him as he got out of his car outside of a strip club in Vegas. He was clearly shorter than my brother, it wasn't even close. Hes probably 5'10. Theres a picture of him next to Joe Rogan, who is 5'8 and hes about 2" taller. I actually just had to google that, since I couldn't think of any other short people he might be pictured with. Also mons venus is a shithole like every other tampa club but hilarious poo poo goes down there.
