Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Or they just LET THEM WRITE instead of running everything through some asshole with an MBA

can we have good writing become commonplace in porn pls & thank

It never works out. You get the occasional gem but the "Step sibling gets stuck in a doorway" model gets all the views.

If not overused, that premise would make for a good porn comedy.

"Help! I'm stuck [add scenario here]."

Somewhere in another room, a game controller/remote/book gets tossed aside with a huff.

"What did that little bitch do know?"

help me, stepdoor

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

yeah, why not. This isn't good writing, though.

It's like a scene right out of good will hunting

Good willy hunting

ok concept for a movie, the dialogue, though: 💥🤯🔫

i mean compared to your average porn it's award-winning lol

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No. I'd just skip to the action regardless.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

When I was a teenager, I'd stay up late and watch soft porn movies on Cinemax with the sound off so my parents wouldn't hear. I wasn't really concerned that I was missing out on the plot.

Wait, this isn’t Moneyball?

Baseball is just applied maths, really.

People who are good at math love baseball because they spend so much time on the bleachers waiting their turn to hit a ball. Baseball is also great for people who love knitting, mobile games, and queuing in lines!

MONEYBALL: The statistical analysis... My god, IT'S BEAUTIFUL

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

90 miles an hour is overly generous.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

And here I was, total baseball noob, thinking they went on and off the field-... Never mind.

[–] rob64@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

Not for the pitches...

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I know it's a lot to ask people understand baseball on a place dedicated to Tumblr of all things, and on Lemmy to boot (not imagining FOSS nerds and sabermetrics nerds are huge in overlap). Math legit is a huge part of baseball strategy.

It's not? 😔
