I... should probably make a reach reintroduce post for everyone who's showed up in like the last, weekish

Hi, I'm a moderator for the comedy troupe LoadingReadyRun (as well as LRR crew member @lunarjade.bsky.social ), I just spent a week watching Desert Bus For Hope, and also watch too many sports.

Oh this is purely hypothetical; after going back to Big Brother off a 12-year break left me chucked around like a ragdoll by a *very* volatile game and also viewerbase I'm not keen on putting myself through that again with another show. This is a for funsies question only.

He wants something bigger than the rest of the building so everyone has to think of the entire place as His more than everyone else's combined.

Actually let's test something.

I thiiiiink the last season of #Survivor I watched was... the one where Shii-Ann got caught out by a fake merge.

If I picked up the show again NOW without watching any seasons between then and now, how lost would I be?

Aaron Allermann @mtvcdm.bsky.social · 7h

I have apparently not watched in a fair bit because I absent-mindedly saw a season is 26 days now and was like, wait when the fuck did that happen is that even enough time to get everything done

you bricked a BED

The AWS outage bricked people's $2,700 smartbeds, leaving them in a reclining position or with the heat up. People were unable to use them, basically. A GitHub repo exists that lets people operate their beds without reliance on the normal infrastructure

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds

When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

WWE messing women's tag up so badly is how AEW got Mercedes in the first place and I'm sure she is going to make sure the locker room remembers that.

I have reached a point where I kinda run like hell from ANY sports channel, unless they are airing an actual game. I don't care much what sport that game is in, but it had better be a live game and not a bunch of Loud Bois yelling about who needs to be fired or traded Right Now Before It's Too Late.

Sports fans really hate ESPN so much. It’s crazy. And not just online, it’s everyone.

It's a bit wild how many people will preemptively pot commit to spending an entire year defending a guy with a Nazi tattoo just because Bernie Sanders likes the guy

Also what the fuck Bernie don't think YOU'RE getting out of this without getting asked some questions

Aaron Allermann @mtvcdm.bsky.social · 15h

Like seriously

Are they seriously going to commit to spending an ENTIRE CALENDAR YEAR

defending A NAZI TATTOO

Just GET ANOTHER DUDE

A community like that is a small world and most of them are going to put water under the bridge with each other pretty quickly once the game is no longer there to serve as a stressor. It ain't gonna take attacks on very many before it gets regarded as an attack on everybody.

Aaron Allermann @mtvcdm.bsky.social · 1d

tbh I think enough of them saw how many of them got eaten alive in absentia here and how Adrian and Jimmy got chased off that the house as a whole has declared it a no-go zone unless they KNOW they're beloved here (and even then, note how even Rachel hasn't touched her account here postgame).

I like saying, sports is easy mode for socializing.

Even if you don't know a damn thing about the sport, all you gotta do is be *from* somewhere, which most people are, and walk into a watch and people will just assign you your local team if you don't already have one and now you're in the group.

Well it's good we're close to Halloween because booing George Springer is gonna haunt Seattle for a long long time.

As a Wisconsin I'm looking away on the other end and totally understand why that game didn't even rank as an Advisory.

Face slapping is not a sport.

(Context: I will happily declare anything a sport as long as the competitors wish to regard it as one.)

Zach Weinersmith @zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 6d

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Aaron Allermann @mtvcdm.bsky.social · 2d

I'm willing to bet you a solid 95% of Americans could not tell you what, exactly, George Soros actually *does* for a living outside of his political boogeyman status.

Why does it always take the Packers so long to remember they're the Packers

Have you ever stopped to consider that perhaps, of all the teams that have ever played football, not a single one of them has ever actually been any good at football
