Yeah this distinction is definitely underutilized

Agent Smith

11:13

what's going on in here?

Dan Szymborski

11:13

Nick Anderson crushing the final hopes.

Matt

11:13

If the simulation has become sentient, and able to simulate, that'd be like a Taco Bell inside a KFC...INSIDE A TACO BELL.

Ben Clemens

11:13

Well, we were just talking about Mr. Anderson.

Paul

11:13

True fact: after this game the A's will have lost 15 of their last 16 games in which they could advance in the postseason

Dan Szymborski

11:13

Should've worn the yellow jerseys

Ben Clemens

11:13

It was inevitable you'd eventually show up.

Alex

11:13

This is going to sound far-fetched but is there any chance Melvin ends up being the “surprise firing” of this offseason? He’s really fared poorly in these do or die games.

Dan Szymborski

11:14

I don't believe so.

Ben Clemens

11:14

I'd find it shocking. I don't think he's obviously made any mistakes

Alex

11:14

It's a shame that charges and adjudication can, somehow, obscure so much and make assessing the seriousness of someone's conduct. He was charged with assault...Doesn't mean he didn't, in fact, commit a battery that may have had a more serious intent. Could be something else entirely. Could be just as charged. Rarely is a perfect reconstruction available. Charges can also be a negotiation. "Under charging" happens, too, if the prosecutor thinks it merits lesser charges. Over charging gets more press, but it's not the only distortion. In any case, he messed up, badly, and served his sentence. What more do we want?

I don't know if any simulation could predict a Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell!

Furious George

11:15

Or maybe it's all just a dream. The St. Elsewhere Theory is I think what that's called.

Belli Flop

11:15

Ji-Man joy time

(He brings me joy)

Dan Szymborski

11:15

A dream is kinda just a simulation run by one brain.

Ben Clemens

11:15

There's something very satisfying about clicking a submitted message into chat.

Matt

11:15

I'm still not sure why this simulation hasn't put a Wendy's in a Taco Bell. That would bring me joy.

Furious George

11:16

What? No it isn't. What is a dream "simulating"?

Dan Szymborski

11:16

What's it with you guys and Taco Bell? You can get great indie tacos anywhere now.

Ben Clemens

11:16

Reality. Just, poorly.

Dan Szymborski

11:16

It's creating visions based on the data it currently has.

hildebeast21

11:16

i'm pretty sure the simulation would be broken by the fact that mariano rivera threw 1 pitch for 10 years and nobody could hit it

Alex

11:16

I’ve already committed to naming my future daughter Ji-Woman.

xHBP

11:17

But not ones made of Doritos for no reason.

NathanLazarus

11:17

John Sterling’s home run call for Ji-Man Choi was “the G-Man of New York.”

Belli Flop

11:17

@Alex I might steal that

Ben Clemens

11:17

I haven't been to a Taco Bell since college.

Dan Szymborski

11:17

Your future daughters already despise you.

Ben Clemens

11:17

I'm pretty happy with that decision.

Furious George

11:17

Dreams do not simulate reality. They emulate unreality.

Dan Szymborski

11:17

Depends how you approach the question.

Ben Clemens

11:18

You hate to see a game get so out of hand that we're going down a simulation theory rabbit hole.

On the other hand, maybe you love to see it.

Dan Szymborski

11:18

I once had a dream that I opened a frozen yogurt stand with Imogene Coca. Was it a good display of unreality or a poor reflection of actual reality?

hildebeast21

11:18

this game has been pretty awful since the second inning

Lunar verLander

11:18

At least we can all agree that this whole series of events was predetermined and that there is no free will

Dan Szymborski

11:18

The Luzardo/Anderson moments have been teriffic.

11:19

I just spelled terrific wrong.
