DontMockMySmock posted:Pro tip: if you'd rather read wikipedia than watch a video, you could just google the name in the title of the video instead of posting like an rear end in a top hat Excellent idea! Wikipedia posted:Koo's most memorable moment as a Major Leaguer occurred on May 21, 2005, when he recorded his only major league hit, a double off of Randy Johnson of the New York Yankees. This came right when Fox TV analyst Tim McCarver commented on how Koo's plate appearance was "the biggest give-up at-bat". Koo had taken two pitches and struck out looking on four pitches in his first at-bat, leading everyone to believe that he was ready to go up just to sit down again. On a 1-and-1 count, Koo crushed a deep line drive right over Bernie Williams's head one hop off the wall in right-center field. Upon reaching second base, the home crowd and his teammates in the dugout cheered and chanted "KOOOO!" When asked about what he thought about the hit, Koo responded, "Other people say that I swung my bat with my eyes closed. But, of course I saw it — I hit it! It has been 18 years since I batted last — when I was in high school. Occasionally I went to the batting cages and swung the bat a couple of times. But, there really wasn’t any difference." A slow runner with little base running experience, Koo advanced to third base on a sacrifice bunt dropped by the following hitter, José Reyes. However, after Koo slowed down approaching third base, he re-accelerated and ran towards a vacant home plate left uncovered as Reyes was getting thrown out at first base. Yankees' catcher Jorge Posada promptly ran towards home in a foot race with Koo. Upon retrieving the thrown ball from first base, Posada applied the tag onto Koo's left shoulder as he slid head first towards home plate on a close play. Home plate umpire Chuck Meriwether called Koo safe on the play, extending the Mets' lead to 3-0. With that, the home crowd once again cheered and chanted his last name. His teammates enthusiastically greeted him, with celebrations ranging from his teammates brushing the dirt off his uniform to Doug Mientkiewicz fanning him with a towel. On his reception by his teammates, Koo said, "They said a lot of things. I just couldn't understand what. I think they were saying 'Good job.'" It was his final Major League at-bat. Took less than ten minutes to read that, cheers. I mean that. About your second point... ads are for other people. But it still annoys me when people link content that has clearly been stretched to pad for time. I watched for a few minutes as he sets the backstory, says something along the lines of 'which makes his next appearance all the more amazing', then promptly cuts to a shot of his mug as he goes off on some tangent. There is no schaden in people so inured to bad media that they'll unironically defend it. (And I say this on a dead gay forum.)

Serephina posted:Excellent idea! I'm not arguing your general point about how dire 99% of youtube "content" is but Bois is one of the good ones and it's a fun little video well worth watching. Maybe he could have made it 9:30 and stretched it to 10:07 for the money but if you're this upset about that then I have extremely bad news about Sideshow Bob's best gag.

Ublock Origin has live development that actively counters attacks on ad blockers, it rules that if something breaks today, it is fixed tomorrow (in a week, tops) Edit: huge Chad move for the dev when Ublock was offered a huge payout (so some ad company could whitelist themselves), so he sold it and got the huge payout, then immediately released Origin Evilreaver has a new favorite as of 15:49 on Jan 23, 2024 |

It's very close to something I would really like with that post-scarcity transhumanism stuff and the sentient space probes. But ultimately it's about sports and sports competitions, and I just cannot give a single poo poo about that. I'd love it if someone wrote a non-sports story set in the same universe.
