shrinkflation aside, what kind of coffee comes in a tub?

Probably the great majority of coffee consumed in North America. Folger's, Maxwell House, Nabob, etc. Plus damn near anything you drink at work unless you're a white collar worker and maybe even if you are.

Incidentally, I believe coffee is the 2nd-highest-valued traded commodity on earth after petroleum. It's like the Axis won WW2 and everyone's handed amphetamines on their way to work, except it's a tasty beverage so no one really notices how pervasive it is. I don't even remember people drinking 3-4 cups of coffee a day 10 years ago.

Someone posted the entire first harry potter movie on youtube. This is the original movie, just in case anyone who watches harry potter for the first time, Very high budget movie, but CGI is 20 years ago so you can imagine its a little bit rough

I f***ing love baseball

I f***ing love baseball

Baseball is the sport to me best enhanced by the live experience. But the playoffs on TV are great.

F That. Yanks need to shove it up their ass in the Bronx. I hate LA. Judge feasts on the bad pitching. Shits his pants to a .199 avg in 248 career playoff AB's. The Dodgers dancing after everyone reaches base needs to be neutered. Should have drilled a couple of them in Game 2. The game lacks anger and passion these days like all sports. So vanilla and analytics are a detriment a this point.

The minds of today's youth are f***ed. Holy cow.

This started with televising poker.

I guarantee you if you put the same shit in front of current boomers or other older age groups when they were younger, the result wouldn’t be much different.

The youth aren’t the ones putting out that content either - they’re the ones who see all the older people in their lives addicted to parlays and it plastered bc of corporate greed & relationships that exist that promote gambling idk

I don’t remember as a child thinking anything other than “why would anyone watch this on tv”

Yankees have a pulse. Should have won Game 1. Aaron Boone should get the hook if they don't pull his out of the fire. Cashman as well. 15 years without a WS appearance. That's unacceptable with their resources. Soto will walk either way. He can suck 50 million per off the Angels. Great player but the Yanks need arms. Bats are easy enough to find. Boonie makes Joe Girardi look competent. I long for the days of Joe Torre. Analytics are useful in the game but they are slowly killing it. Where's the feel for dropping a bunt or a hit and run. It doesn't exist. So what worked for a century is no longer relevant because analytics. May as well pull the umps and starters on automatic pitch counts. Not the game I grew up playing and enjoying on tv.

I'm a miserable 54 year old asshole but I miss the piss and vinegar of pro sports from the past. The only sport played with much passion is the NFL because they are all lit up on roids. Too vanilla for Harold P Kneel

I'm taking about the mindset that people who watch sports are degenerates. Not taking about students who watch sports and gamble because it's, that's being shoved in their faces.

This title is amazing. Never thought I'd see the term "100 bones" in anything other than maybe a Reddit posting:

More than a quarter of Canadians will spend at least 100 bones on Halloween: poll

A new poll suggests more than a quarter of Canadians will spend $100 or more on Halloween, with roughly 70 per cent of respondents saying they’ll fork over as much money as they did last year on candy and costumes. That’s according to polling firm Leger, which surveyed 1,520 adults this month on...
