OT: 109th Obsequious Banter Thread: In the Driver's Seat

[swami24]

I’ve watched like 10 minutes ever of lacrosse and figured I’d kill some time and watch the wings game. my guy just said torontos goalie is 5’10 and weighs 290. What?!

Nick Rose. 12 yr career and a very good goaltender. Most indoor lacrosse goalies just look to cut all the angles, rather than react. The nets are 4'9" wide.

You picked a horrible game as a first. The Wings never got their offense going and got smoked.

Philadelphia Flyers Playoff Reasons



Why haven't the Philadelphia Flyers made the playoffs

There are a variety of reasons why a professional sports team may not make the playoffs. In the case of the Philadelphia Flyers, it could be due to a lack of strong performances from key players, injuries, or issues with team chemistry or coaching. Without more specific information about a certain season or time frame, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer.





Is chuck fletcher a bad general manager

"Opinions on the performance of a general manager can vary depending on who you ask. Chuck Fletcher is a veteran executive who has been working in the NHL for over two decades, and has had a mixed record of success and failure. He joined the Philadelphia Flyers as general manager in December 2018. Some would argue that he has made good moves to strengthen the team and build for the future, while others may criticize him for certain decisions or the team's lack of success in recent seasons. Ultimately, the success or failure of a general manager is often determined by the team's performance on the ice and it's hard to judge the performance of a general manager only by short term results."

Chatgpt is amazing

Chatgpt is amazing

It's a transformative tech....one article I read had a good insight from an individual....

"AI isn’t going to replace people, but people who use AI are going to replace people...."

Personally, with religion losing its influence...I can see AI becoming a deity to some. I mean look how loons fall for Qanon and all the other dumb ass conspiracy factories because they are starved for meaning...

This guy, Yogesh, was one of the most insufferable Jeopardy! contestants in some time. He was on a couple weeks back. Every single anecdote of his during the 4 games was bragging about some quiz game accomplishment. He purposefully gave show off style answers to the point Ken Jennings joked about it. He probably thought he was the next great champ, carried himself in the smuggest way, and then his ego couldn't handle only winning 3 games.

Now, I just read this shit he wrote afterwards. Absolute masterclass in being a sore loser scrambling for a self-esteem boost. They'll teach this document in school 100 years from now. While of course he starts off with enough boasting to feed a small country, this covers all the hits: I didn’t care anyway; I’m too good for this admittedly bad and unimportant show; my fellow contestants (don't you dare twist my words!) were beneath my grandmaster level; I’m actually somehow a martyr. It really isn’t any more complex than he came across as a major major douche. Turns out it was even worse than I thought.
