Players get traded away just before their team wins a cup all the time. Which trade(s) like that still haunt you the most? Which player(s) do you feel should have won the cup with the team that traded them away? ❤

Saaaaaab, I'm sorry this took a bit to answer, but I'm here.

obviously, Tyson Jost being one of the most recent examples, must be mentioned, but let me think about other guys as well...

I'll start with a Devils one: Sheldon Souray. Mind you, this was like my first year watching hockey, so my memory is super hazy, in terms of like first hand knowledge, but the thing that sticks with me is that Lou Lamoriello was absolutely horrible to this man. Like Lou was very vocal about his weight and shit? Just uncalled for stuff. So he got traded away in the 1999-2000 season, and the Devils went on to win the Cup that year. I think I really only remember this cause like if you have to deal with Lou then like come on at least get that Cup ya know?

I'm fairly certain there's another Devils dude that was traded away right before that Cup run too?

Hmmm...maybe David Perron who was traded away from the Penguins right before their back to back wins. He did eventually get his Cup with his original team the St. Louis Blues, so maybe his isn't that tragic. The thing with Perron was that he worked so so so hard to like keep up and be on a line with Sid ya know?

To be honest, players that were traded away that haunt me are like not related to Cup runs at all, mostly they happened outside of Cup runs, so I don't really have any stories with a strong emotional attachment.

I feel like I've just jinxed myself now. The Devils are gonna go on a run and trade away someone that is gonna fucking haunt me for eternity now huh? Fuck me.

people keep comparing the WatcherTV move to Dropout (for obvious reasons) but I cannot emphasize enough how vastly different the circumstances between the companies is. like astronomically different

• Watcher does not have the years of experience that Dropout/CollegeHumor did. CH as a company formed in 1999. They've been doing sketch comedy since the early 2000s. they were a company, like an actual company with offices and departments and everything. Watcher hasn't even existed for 5 years

• Because CH has been established for that long, not only do they have an established connection to the industry, but they have an established fan base already. People that knew about and were fans of CH for over a decade, before Dropout was even a thought in someone's head.

• When Dropout was in its infancy, CH was still under their parent company IAC, they weren't roughing it completely on their own the way that Watcher is. They were later dropped by IAC, but having that connection and funding in the vulnerable start was important

• CH was still posting sketches and skits on YouTube for free while filling out Dropout's catalog. They didn't hard shift into exclusively subscription based, they continued doing both for the first couple years in order to help get Dropout established. Even now, they still occasionally post full episodes for free on YouTube, including whole seasons of Dimension 20

• They have a large rotating cast that they move between multiple shows. They have a variety of content and a variety of entertainers to be guests on shows. Watcher has 3 guys which the occasional guest

• A big part of this transition is because Watcher's episodes have a high production cost. That's what they claim. That it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to film one episode of Ghost Files. but why?? why does it cost that much?? I get cost of travel for talent and crew but hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode?

• When IAC dropped CH and they went bankrupt in 2020, they only had 7 employees. When Sam Reich bought the company, they only had 7 employees. not twenty five. I'm not advocating for laying off people, but maybe they shouldn't be payrolling more people than they can afford

• also. Sam Reich is very vocal about how Dropout surviving and succeeding was nothing short of a miracle. They didn't get that success because the business model works, they got that success from years of networking, hard work, and pure luck

Throwback to colder days

Memories of snowy boats, bluecold yule holidays and snowfilled hills in northwest Scandinavia.

I think this is the most snow filled and freezing yule holiday I can remember. That will be appx minus 14 degrees celsius during day and colder at night. The only nice thing is that the white snow makes the world clean and bolstered.

Perfect for staying inside near the wood fired oven, eating snacks, food, warming drinks and hot coffee or chocolate as well.

First digital camera experience

This is a photo from the turn to this century. It was taken with a digital Sony Mavica camera with appx 0.3 megapixel resolution. One of the first good and consumer friendly digital cameras.

It was basically a 1.44" floppy disk drive unit with a lens and some electronics attached. Each floppy would hold 10-14 photos. And like nowadays, with my 128 GB XQD, and 760 photos capacity on a 45 megapixel camera, about 4 shots per storage unit is extremely good.

Hopefully because I am a better photographer now and have higher standards.

Photo from Skåla, Northwest Scandinavia, Norway.

Blur - Coffee & TV 1999

"Coffee & TV" was written by Blur's guitarist, Graham Coxon, who also sang lead vocals rather than frontman Damon Albarn (whom later started another little band; the Gorillaz). Coxon wrote the song about his struggle from alcoholism, and how after giving up drinking he would unwind by watching television over a cup of coffee instead and writing songs. This experience also contributed to his first solo album, The Sky Is Too High. "Coffee & TV" reached #11 in the United Kingdom and #26 in Ireland. It was a major hit in Iceland, where it peaked at #2. The song's musical style is an anomaly in comparison with the rest of 13, appearing similar to Blur's earlier, Britpop days. The single edit of the song also appeared on Blur's Best Of compilation, released in 2000, and featured on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack.

The super-cute music video featured a sentient milk carton known as "Milky" searching for Coxon, who appeared as a missing person's face on its side. The video won several awards in 1999 and 2000 including Best Video at the NME Awards and the MTV Europe Awards. In 2002, the video was ranked the fourth best video of all time by VH1. In 2005, it was voted the 17th greatest pop video of all time in a poll by Channel 4. In 2006, Stylus Magazine ranked it No. 32 in their list of the Top 100 Music Videos of All Time. In a similar poll, NME ranked it the 20th greatest music video of all time. The model of Milky, as used in the video, was sold at an auction of Blur memorabilia in 1999. When Blur played at the London 2012 Olympics Closing Concert Celebration at Hyde Park, fans who bought a Blur T-shirt on the day were given a free replica milk carton of Milky. The video is seen on Season 3, Episode 11 of The Sopranos in which Anthony Jr is watching the music video on MTV. Some tumblrinas might recognize Milky as gifs from an ancient tumblr post. "Coffee & TV" received a total of 55,9% yes votes.

Wondering if the Warframe 1999 seasons are tied to the Hex Syndicate ranks.

Rank 0-1, Winter, Jan 1, 1999 - The Hex start over, looking for Dr. Entrati from Day One. Instead, they find Drifter.

Rank 2, Spring - The Hex start warming up to Drifter, pun intended.

Rank 3, Summer - Hot on the trail of Dr. Entrati together.

Rank 4, Fall - The leads grow cold, and no one's happy.

Rank 5, Winter again - We're heading to 2000, Y2K, and a certain New Year's kiss.

SpongeBob is an Adult

I'm so sick and tired of people trying to say that SpongeBob is a child or that he was 13 when he was hired at the Krusty Krab. I swear does anyone actually watch the show? Look no further than Season 3, Episode 3: The Bully.

Mrs. Puff would NOT be his teacher if he was a child. He is a grown ass man who can't pass the driver's test. That's not THAT uncommon.

The argument I often see online is his (fictional) driver's license stating his date of birth as 7/14/1986. There are two problems with this. One: This is a dream sequence. (A rebuttal to this is that his license was shown again in season 2, but cartoons reuse assets all the time) Two: We don't know when the show actually takes place. Many shows don't take place in the same year as real life. Example: The Jetsons.

Season 1, episode 12: Employee of the Month. 43 months have passed, at least, with the 44th month being this episode. Three and a half years have passed AT MINIMUM since he was hired. This is still in season 1, mind you. March 8, 2000 was when the episode aired. 10 months, 1 week after the Episode 1 airdate of May 1, 1999. These episodes do not go along with real time.

When people say he's a kid, they are not being literal. Figurative language has been around forever. They mean he has the heart and energy of a child while living his adult life. When Mr. Krabs calls him a kid, he is being dismissive and derisive. Krabs is an old man, to him, SpongeBob IS a kid, because he's so much older than him.

Squidward calls him a kid because he's just an asshole sometimes. It's like when someone dismisses someone else along the lines of "Shut up, you're like 12" even if the person is in their 30s.

Another problem I have with people insisting SpongeBob is a child is that he's very autistic-coded if not flat out autistic. To say he is a child is infantilizing autistic people who act the same way. My partner is this way, she is nearing 50 but she acts like a 10 year old. To say she's not an adult would be insulting at best and ableism at worst.

Need more proof? Season 1, episode 12: The Chaperone. SpongeBob mentions that he couldn't find a date to his junior prom. That means he finished his junior year of high school. At the very minimum, SpongeBob could be 17, but Pearl is 16 in that episode so that is VERY unlikely.

If I need to add more to this post, I will, but chances are the ones who need to read it never will.
