  1. I'm hearing the same. Situation is fluid.
  2. Hay now.
  3. Man, I totally didn’t pick up on that.
  4. I was right there until... that part. What the horsefeathers?
  5. Cobb, on the Cubs: Cubs (in) on the Cobb, Cobb on the Cubs!
  6. i was googling a new cubs hat earlier are you....are you watching me? Can you please post a photo of it so that we may opine on whether you should find it fashionable?
  7. We can just spend $50m on private jet flights and bribes to Japanese citizens to move here.
  8. The Deadspin article referenced some sort of guilt-trippy, emotional coersion along the lines of, “I’m depressed and will kill myself if you don’t send nudes!” My reaction was... that works?
  9. Gullibles gonna gullible.
  10. This person was hired as a writer?
  11. I would think so to but with the Mandalay Bay shooting and a large public gathering in an open area next to high rise hotels I don't think they would do it anytime soon. Is there a football stadium that they could use? Maybe they'll just wait until the Raiders are there. UNLV's would work.
  12. Am I... am I on Julie DiCaro's side?
  13. Saying jugs a lot is probably one of the best ways to convince people you're a middle-aged, married, baseball writer living in Missouri.
  14. Oh, and people knew "he" spoke like that, too. How easy is it to be a catfish? [tweet]https://twitter.com/alexatheworst/status/928428476192972800[/tweet]
  15. Man, I can't get enough of this story. Apparently this was his website The bio isn't even consistent on different parts of the site.
  16. Of all of the groups that would run DiCaro off Twitter, "emotionally abused women" would be the last one I'd think would do it.
  17. That's exactly what I was thinking. Someone very, very lonely. Also, apparently Ryan appeared on podcasts and IS CLEARLY NOT A MIDDLE AGED DUDE. Listen here (Ryan starts speaking at about 1:00): [tweet] [/tweet]
  18. It was really difficult to follow but from what I've gathered, the 21 year old girl posing as middle-aged, married Ryan Schultz built relationships with female baseball writers/bloggers/Twitter community members and somehow ended up getting some to share nude photos with her over the past 8 years. DiCaro deleted her Twitter because she was getting so much horsefeathers over how she was talking about it. One of the victims did some digging and realized that "Ryan" wasn't who he said he was, and confronted the imposter IRL.
  19. Haha did I miss this?
  20. There are a LOT of people like this. Some people will always find an excuse to complain about the protest mechanism because they don't want to confront these truths, or are racist, stupid, etc. However, I think that there are also people who are unwilling to listen that otherwise would be listening if this didn't involve the anthem. They're completely turned off to it. And that's why a lot of the national conversation is around those people being offended and the anthem, not the subject of police brutality, which I think is a miss. But this conversation is actually happening because these neanderthals keep struggling to hide their bigotry behind faux patriotism. the protest is working, it is drawing attention to the problem and making horsefeathers people uncomfortable. It's certainly drawing attention to the sentiment that a lot of people think it's disrespectful to kneel/sit during the national anthem and say you aren't proud of a flag that represents oppression, a discussion on employee/employer rights, the first amendment, and what patriotism means. But are you really satisfied with the share/extent of the discussion surrounding how fucked up our police/justice system is?
  21. Should've added an oxford comma. I assumed the thread title was about the founder of Pieology.
  22. ...doesn't work. The people opposed don't want the protests to be tailored to make them feel more comfortable or welcome. They just want the protests to go away.

  23. was just about to say i think mod is just a rip off of blaze Blaze is a ripoff of MOD tho. Are either any good? I've seen both around... ETA: Becoming "The Chipotle for Pizza" is a thing involving Michael Chang's brother rofl
  24. This is a good analogy overall but misses one piece: If half of your potential customers (people who don't buy today) overwhelmingly say that they need the product to do XYZ or cost less in order to buy, the company would probably try implementing some of those changes to see if it impacts sales/profitability. They wouldn't just say "well, a lot of people say these things and don't mean it... no one is going to buy the product so we shouldn't listen to them. Let's just keep the product as-is and hope some people change their minds." The business-specific advice is to take suggestions from non-customers with a grain of salt. Obviously you don't want to be ignorant to customer demand, but by and large the people who have already decided you were worthwhile and became customers are going to have suggestions that are more valuable than those who tell you why they didn't buy. This may not generalize to every last industry, but enough that it works as a truism for this analogy. Yeah it falls down a bit when we dig in, and I think this has been a point of disagreement in this conversation overall: should we make a mass product that more people will buy, or one that resonates well with the core consumer but won't ever be purchased by others?
