Watching people struggle to choose between the tesla t and the apple apple would be so satisfying for me.

The intro to this being “tell me about it” is fucking priceless

You mean to tell me I’ve been painstakingly pressing the shift key during captcha tests for YEARS and it doesn’t actually matter?

Sorry that you haven’t tried himalayan salt brother

g0d0fm15ch13f , 1 month ago

Honestly idk lol, but the first time I made cookies topped with himalayan salt flakes I became an instant convert from sea salt and haven’t looked back.

g0d0fm15ch13f , 1 month ago

Ok regardless of whether or not you should be able to. Why the fuck would you? Wouldn’t it be in your ultimate best interest to recieve negative feedback early? So that it could be addressed?

g0d0fm15ch13f , 1 month ago

What if I told you that 343 didn’t make that decision. Ever wonder why Guilty Spark called Master Chief reclaimer? Though I agree with your point, 4 was the last halo game I bought.

Yeah not sure about the other responsible gun owners, but I certainly want my neighbors to have some firepower. Remember that firearms are supposed to be a check and/or balance against tyranny.

This is exactly the kind of phone I want, I don’t understand why there isn’t higher demand for audio phones like there is for camera phones. I also want to see the introduction of DACs to more smartphones and/or earbuds as that technology continues to scale down. But idk, checking the website (and understanding that it’s the non primary language site) doesn’t fill me with hope.

Still rocking my V60

g0d0fm15ch13f , 2 months ago

Yeah and this is where I’m willing to admit I’m a weirdo. But like I don’t need pictures of myself, or my food, or the fireworks. If I can see the detail in question for a funny thing I stumbled upon, then the camera is good enough for me. I certainly don’t need 8 different kinds of camera in my phone.

g0d0fm15ch13f , 2 months ago

Yeah not a massive fan of the wireless trend, but I do get it’s convenience. Which is why I think DACs should be making their way to earbuds near you.

plugging !cfb. I know that college football probably isn’t the most popular activity for those of us in the fedi, but honestly we’ve got a decent community going, even if a little small.

Love this track!

I don’t know this the case for whichever poll this is based on, but disapproval and approval aren’t necessarily complementary.

I mean it doesn’t look like citizen kane but it also doesn’t look that bad? A lot of people in the comments here seem to think that Borderlands has some Baldur’s Gate level story to explore when it really is just a bunch of assholes doing assholish things for video game reasons. I say this as a massive bl2 fan that has always been willing to point out and accept every shortcoming that every game has had so far.

g0d0fm15ch13f , 4 months ago

I respect the commitment here

It bears repeating you can be anti facisim AND anti terrorism. Plus I’m fairly certain the forced removal of a population is just one of many traits of a genocide.

Using white vinegar and rubbing alcohol is a common homeopathic remedy for swimmer’s ear

g0d0fm15ch13f , 5 months ago

Yeah you’re right, I guess I thought homeopathic just meant non medicinal. But it’s absolutely effective at both sterilizing and drying the ear.

The idea though is that a good sports team will draw eyes to the university as a whole. Texas, California, Tennessee, Florida… All these programs have vastly overpaid coaches it’s true. But as a result you get free advertising as fans wear the team colors all over town.

Also shameless plug for our college football community !cfb

g0d0fm15ch13f , 6 months ago

And how do you propose to pay for this world class research in a world where federal university funding is constantly hamstrung by conservatives and skyrocketing tuition costs still can’t cover it? If I had the ability to charge 100,000 people 20 bucks (actually way more) a week, that’ll certainly create a dent (not to mention apparel revenue and TV contracts). Sports departments are net positive revenue for an institution, and when they aren’t they get cut. Again I fully believe that coaches are overpaid, but it’s not for no reason.

Literally the first link I clicked shows for the 2021-2022 year these universities listed bring in somewhere between 1 and 20 million

sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances

Here is the referenced list where you can check all D1 universities for this year.

Edit: And with TV deals being restructured I wouldn’t be surprised if the SEC/B1G start bringing in even more.

Double Edit: And regardless, alumni donations for academics increase relative to that teams performance (specifically championship appearances/wins) gceps.princeton.edu/wp-content/…/162rosen.pdf

Title 9 is the definition of great idea but terrible execution. It has caused tons of men’s non revenue programs to fold in the past few decades. Notably, as a swimmer, the University of Iowa no longer has a men’s swim team, and they literally invented butterfly.

g0d0fm15ch13f , 6 months ago (edited 6 months ago)

Yeah, the few at the top bring in revenue, but most don’t. Speculating on future revenue is not helpful.

Not true? Even schools as low as 220 in that list are bringing in a profit, admittedly not as much, but if we only look at the schools that have the vastly overpaid coaches then we start only looking at the schools that are bringing in multiple millions of dollars a year. The usatoday numbers include contributions as well, and as the Princeton paper shows those donations increase with high performing teams (again the teams with overpaid coaches).

As for your articles, in your first link look at the schools that are actually taking money for athletics. These are all tiny schools, without a major cfb or m/wbb program to subsidize the rest of athletics. So again the schools with crazy overpaid coaches aren’t taking much tuition money (searching for the cfb bluebloods in that list shows most charge no money or somewhere in the range of 30 to 50 dollars annually, so covering your costs at the student rec center effectively).

For your second article, we’re only looking at P5 schools, not D1. This is good as it gives us a better look at the schools with overpaid coahces. But the number in the article is cherry picked. They are using generated revenue for that figure, not total revenue. If you follow their own link (ncaa.org/…/finances-of-intercollegiate-athletics-…) and look at the numbers for total net you’ll see P5 is bringing in on average 4.9 million and this is from the NCAA’s numbers themselves. Admittedly looking at the range you’ll find a P5 school losing 34 million last year. What’s important to note with these figures is that often P5 programs are jumping back and forth from red to black year over year as they continually expand facilities. And with there being only one football stadium per university, this mostly means upgrades to student athletic facilities/equipment or non revenue sport facilities/equipment.

Your last article seems to mostly be a pro NIL piece laying out why college athletes deserve to be paid. And for what it’s worth I think that you’re right here. Especially revenue earning teams should see some of that revenue go towards their athletes. Those young men and women are putting their bodies on the line for their respective universities and deserve compensation for that.

At the end of the day, I think it’s no coincidence that the schools with the overpaid coaches are bringing in more money than the schools that don’t put as much emphasis on athletics. And I totally believe that the presidents of these huge universities know better than either of us when it comes to running and funding their schools. Even if I believe that the money coaches earn is ridiculous. Also if you want to get really upset, look up how much Jimbo Fisher is getting paid to NOT coach at Texas A&M.
