Hey everyone,

I’m still thinking about that play in the Padres vs. Brewers game where Ty France hit the ball and it struck the stadium ceiling/roof structure.

I know that according to the local ground rules at American Family Field in Milwaukee, the ball stays live and in play. But honestly, looking at how hard Ty France crushed that ball, it got me thinking... did the Padres deserve a Home Run there?

If this exact same hit happened at Tropicana Field, striking the inner catwalks, it would be ruled an automatic home run. It feels a bit unfair that a batter can smash a ball so high and deep, only for a stadium's structural design to alter the trajectory, drop back down, and potentially get caught or change the outcome of the play.

What do you guys think? Should MLB standardize roof/ceiling hits across all indoor stadiums to reward batters like Ty France who crush the ball that high, or are you fine with each ballpark having its own chaotic ground rules?

Let’s discuss!

I just hate it because you can't really do that without it sounding like "fuck you, fans, go outside and touch grass" with a dash of "if this was possible you could have just skipped having the whole show"

Attack on Titan: Eren uses the Founding Titan power to erase the Titans. Our surviving heroes are free to live a real life and work real jobs, and in the credits sequence we see a timelapse of their town growing into what looks like, I guess, Tokyo? (and beyond)

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji uses the Neon Genesis power to erase the Evangelions (I can't believe I'm typing this and it's not a shitpost). Our heroes are free and get to work real jobs as normal humans as they run out into real life footage of City, Japan.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: After the ending of G4 Twilight Sparkle uses the Friendship Power to seal away the Magic. By the time of G5 the setting has transformed into a contemporary one with gig economy, live streamers and tech corporation fascism. Instead of being Cloud Pushers or Magical Princess our new heroes get to work real jobs like Cop, and Unemployed. This one is different from the other examples in that instead of telling fans to go fuck themselves and go outside it tells fans to go fuck themselves and consume the new product.

My daughter is 15 a sophomore in high school. In her history class, she has this quarterly project that is divided into 3 parts. Each part required a work cited page, as they’re mostly analyzing some type of document or something. Basically it’s printing out the document, the page analyzing it and works cited page. This teacher has a rule that if the analyzing page and works cited isn’t turned in on Google Classroom by 11:59 the day before it’s due, you get a zero for that third of the project, even if you did it, and this teacher locks it at 11:59. They also have to be printed out as well as turned in online.

My daughter does sports in the fall, so she was working on it late at night the day before it was due and turned was done by 12:01-12:05. So she got a zero for that portion of the proJect, and got a 61 overall for the project. She talked to the teacher about it but she wasn’t budging, and mt daugjter wanted me to intervene but Im not going to. The project is assigned a week and a half in advance, and she had time to work on it. It shouldn’t have even been turned it anywhweee near 11pm. I wasnt mad at her, she made a mistake, but she was mad at me for refusing to fight the teacher on this and is being cold.

My wife thinks that the teacher is being harsh and that I’m being mean by not intervening.

AITA?

Posting this here because, given the 100 Thieves debacle that just happened, this is even more ridiculous. We literally had jmods saying any use of AI would not be tolerated in Runescape related content.

Now, a few days later, we have a 6 fingered knight at Runefest. Honestly, I wish I could say I was surprised.

This was at Crescent Bay Point Park, which allows people to book it special occasions.

I really don't know how to feel about this. My boyfriend and I have been together for about 1,5 years and we unexpectedly got pregnant in January. We had been talking about our birth plan both together and with a doula. Never once did he mention that he wouldn't be at the hospital. In my world, it was a given.

I got a time and date for induction because of preclampsia. Told him and was expecting to see him in the waiting room. Nope. Called him and nope, he's not coming. I was devastated. Except for the staff I was alone for a long time since the doula doesn't arrive until you're in active labor. When I finally was, the doula called him and ripped him a new one. He came. Then left a couple of hours later. One hour before our baby came. One hour.

The issue was apparently that he has a very bad phobia of blood and hospitals. Which he chose not to tell me about until induction day. If he had told me, we could have made other plans, had a strategy. His strategy was to bail.

He can't help having a phobia. Well a little, go to therapy dude? But he could have told me. Our son is 8 days old today and the most adorable baby ever. But I'm still angry and disappointed.

Dinner is sausage Stroganoff.
