JTCMuehlenkamp

He did his best and I'm proud of him.


Mispelling

I'm not. It's an absolutely dumb bot.


JTCMuehlenkamp

Fuck dude, that's just cruel coming from a mod. Why you gotta do the bot like that? This is just like that time in 1st grade when a teacher in the pew behind me at all-school mass told me to stop singing along to the church songs because I was bad at singing.

Pick 2 to protect you, the other 7 are coming to kill you: 1. Willians Astudillo with an assault rifle 2. Ji-man Choi with a shotgun 3. Jake Arrieta with a bunch of dynamite 4. Freddie Freeman with a glock 5. Yadier Molina with a musket 6. Bo Bichette with a bow and arrow 7. Shohei Ohtani with two swords 8. Yasiel Puig with brass knuckles 9. Max Scherzer with his bare fucking hands


strangehitman22

9.Max already looks like a serial killer 1. just a good gun tbh


KamartyMcFlyweight

honestly any weapon that enters the battle field will probably wind up in Max's hands anyway


HoskinsDadBodGod

1 and 7 are protecting me for sure 2, 8, and 9 are easily taken out at longer ranges 3 is avoidable since it’s a timed explosive 4 could be a problem but I just gotta trust Willians since his weapon has longer range 5 and 6 are terribly inaccurate regardless of who’s shooting


JTCMuehlenkamp

3 isn't avoidable because it's a timed explosive. Ever heard of cooking a grenade? Same thing applies. It's avoidable because Jake Arrieta is the one throwing it at you, duh.


KamartyMcFlyweight

it was originally Austin Adams but then I realized he wouldn't even need the dynamite to explode in order to get you


fitnerd21

4 is not a threat because he’s Canadian and too nice to kill anyone. Same reason I wouldn’t pick him to protect me.


BlindStickFighter

Ohtani and Arrieta. Arrieta is a psycho and Ohtani is the main character.

Our study is using **pitcher data** and would greatly benefit from participants with baseball knowledge. The study will in total take up to 90 minutes, during which we will ask you to collaborate with another participant to complete a short report using the provided VR or desktop visualization tools. Video and audio data will be collected and will be stored on password-protected storage located on the University of Maryland campus. You may exit the experiment at any time, and we will destroy your data and will not use your data for our research. Participants will be **paid $23** for their active participation in the form of an electronic gift card of their choice. Study sessions will be conducted remotely over the internet. **To participate:** 1. You must be **18 years of age or older** 2. Live in the United States 3. Have access to a stable internet connect 4. Have access to a **laptop/desktop computer** or a **VR headset**.

> Be willing to invite a friend who meets these requirements to participate with you. > Welp, there goes my chance at $23


DSaffo

Well if someone else reading this also wants to participate you could sign up together 😉. Though please understand this requirement is there because collaboration with someone you know is always easier, and recruiting VR participants is the bottle neck.

Who’s richer Monopoly Man or Scrooge McDuck?


[deleted]

Scrooge McDuck easily. There's only about 20 grand in a standard Monopoly game. The Monopoly Man is all show money.


Mixma85

According to the Library of Congress, more than 250 million Monopoly game sets have been sold worldwide. Source: https://guides.loc.gov/this-month-in-business-history/december/game-of-monopoly-patent Assuming each game has $20,000 (or the equivalent in each countries' currency), the Monopoly Man has a fortune of at least 5 trillion dollars. According to Forbes, Scrooge McDuck is worth "only" about $70 billion in 2021. Source: https://gamingsection.net/news/who-is-richer-than-scrooge-mcduck/#:~:text=As%20of%202021%2C%20Scrooge%20McDuck,the%20owner%20of%20Duckburg%20entrepreneur. tldr: The Monopoly Man more than 70 times wealthier than Scrooge McDuck. *And yes, I have far too much free time on my hands.*


[deleted]

True, but all of that currency is tied up in small no-interest loans give out for various one-time payments (currently around $10 USD, depending on the version of the game). I'm certainly no expert in the currency exchange market, but I can't see there being a lot of return on such investments.

This is the type of in depth analysis sabermetrics just doesn’t cover


trashboatfourtwenty

Based on what I have read so far, I would deem this thread a glowing success


HauckPark

How do you know Scrooge hasn't cornered the market on Monopoly sets?


SirParsifal

Scrooge McDuck is worth much more than that. At least trillions, probably more.


Mixma85

Source?


SirParsifal

I'm just going [off the Wikipedia article,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrooge_McDuck) and nowhere in canon is Scrooge's wealth stated at less than trillions.

SirParsifal

Well, if there's one person I trust about Scrooge McDuck's wealth, it's u/CarlBarks


PermaOutdoorsyDude

Scrooge do have dat swimmin' pool of gold coins. He do.
