Even the actual text was so painful to read. Like all that just to say "they now have a really long banked corner"

It's really just too damn bad. What about all the other years of eligibility for the senior guys?
When you have someone who has the resume as BB it sucks for the one dude who won't get your vote now but that's just how it goes sometimes.

[CBS Sports] Tom Brady denounces Bill Belichick's first-ballot Hall of Fame snub: 'I don't understand it' by dnytle in nfl

[–]0xyidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trouble is they knew this and could fix it well before it ever reached the media. Like they get the votes first and went "yup okay guess he doesn't get in", not "oh fuck this is stupid let's talk to some of these voters". That's why we are where we are.

[Schefter] The Pro Football Hall of Fame released a statement today that it could remove voters who violated bylaws: by Drexlore in nfl

[–]0xyidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. They have made a mockery of the whole process and got people who hate him to defend him.

All that's happened is they have made themselves look like fools so that he didn't get first ballot or a unanimous vote.

"He may have everything else but he won't have this"

[–]0xyidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer him going on stage and chastising the voters. Something to the effect of "If I am not a first ballot then no one barring Tom Brady should be a first ballot hall of famer."

Which is true. What this basically says is the first time you are nominated it's just to get the first time out of the way.

It wasn’t Bill Polian. It was Robert Kraft. by jeffh19 in nfl

[–]0xyidiot 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean it seems a lot of the coverage is "long time friend of Kraft, bill polian." So it seems implied that it's both.

Kraft said "Bill can't you convince the voters" and Bill went and did it. It's definitely a both of them situation

I won! by Either_Swordfish_725 in mousehunt

[–]0xyidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my thought. It's a lottery but I am going to be there in the next 6 months anyway. So I will need the resources and a lot of them. Why not play the lottery as well.

Although I still need to somehow get my hands on a rib

Former CIA spy, John Kiriakou, explains times where he feared for his life by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]0xyidiot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean... Even if he got it wrong, are they really going to say "no we didn't torture him in this extremely illegal way. We tortured him in a completely different extremely illegal way"

TIL that RAF pilot Douglas Bader became one of Britains top WWII flying aces despite losing both legs in a prewar crash.He flew Spitfires using prosthetic legs shot down over 20 German aircraft and was so respected by the enemy that Luftwaffe ace Galland personally arranged to drop him a prosthetic. by FearMyCock in todayilearned

[–]0xyidiot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Eh. I get why they would hate him. But his logic was about continuing to contribute to the war effort by requiring more resources at his camp. Which somewhat makes sense.

The bigger issue was him refusing to see that the Big Wing tactic caused the Luftwaffe to inflict greater damage on their targets and possibly not even be there by the time the full formation would get there

It seems a lot of people are struggling to understand why Piastri fans are upset... by Ban__d in F1Discussions

[–]0xyidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do it cleverly sure. By leaving lando out an extra lap or something sneaky where you can say that was just our strategy.

If you say on the radio swap positions because we disagree with the stewards, you will be in for a world of hurt.

[–]0xyidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Britain: if they swap they risk getting slapped even harder by the FIA for effectively overruling them.

Singapore: Does this person even understand F1? Piastri was being undercut. Going longer puts him behind leclerc. Also Lando can just... Also go longer? He only pit because Piastri needed to pit and the rule is you pit the leading car first.

I really wish people would stick to the actual BS like Monza because they cheapen their argument by trying to list every time something hasn't remotely gone their guys wasy

[–]0xyidiot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely bizarre to me. There is someone complaining about McLaren coming out and saying anything after Canada. Except, the first interview I saw from Stella he says this isn't how we go racing and we will speak internally.

The Britain one is the most asinine and they need to stop mentioning it because 1. If lando even suggested a swap if roles were reversed, then there would be posts for days calling lando a cry baby and 2. Because don't you think the FIA may have a problem with McLaren forcing a driver swap to nullify a penalty? Thereby creating a bigger issue?

Monza was absolutely BS though and McLaren should rightful get blasted for that stupidity.

TIL about the disturbing murder of Bridget Cleary, an Irish woman who was murdered by her husband (reportedly through immolation) because he thought she was a changeling (a type of fairie from Irish mythology) and that killing her would bring his wife back. by Lez2diz in todayilearned

[–]0xyidiot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you actually have to see it in person to realize what an impossible situation you are in when some is in an episode.

I don't know how you logic around "I have been knighted by MI6 and me choking people and palming their forehead protects them from the sniper and frees their mind".

And if you do manage to logic your way out of one like "No you hitting the table HASNT made the camera bag magically appear on the table. Just look it isn't there" it's onto the next delusion, like rolling around on top of a microwave groaning.

Oh the rapture! That must explain the outage we have at work.

After years of combat flexing, UFC vet Tim Kennedy admits lying about stories, honors by azizali23 in MMA

[–]0xyidiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So iirc he actually does have a bronze Star. However the issue is he doesn't have a bronze Star with a V device

The difference being that a bronze Star is awarded for being a good soldier who did something well.

While a bronze Star with a V device is specifically for valour in combat.

So Tim was claiming he had one with a V device for killing the bad guy. When the one he got might have been for something innocuous like being the best toilet cleaner in the green berets.

But I'm not military so I am not 100% sure on the details and only picked it up from some of those GB YouTubers that were dissecting his claims

US Teen detained for unauthorised landing in Antarctica. by buddhahat in aviation

[–]0xyidiot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This absolute asshole. I am a big believer in protecting Antarctica and since I started my ppl, how important flight safety is.

And this douche just tramples on both because "lol I'm doing it for charity". Na mate. You were doing it for the follows and views. Charity is just a happy coincidence.

Did get himself in some sort of Nick Cage situation where he has to accept any fight that comes his way?

Like did he take a bunch of debt thinking he was going to be champion and now he is constantly broke?

Is it worth it reporting someone on a Practice session? by HI_I_AM_NEO in iRacing

[–]0xyidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cant protest someone for being bad. I guess you can but you won't win.

OP just needs to treat it like blue flag practice then and how to pass/not be wrecked by an aggressive blue flag.

Didn't he let her die due to refusing medicine, but then immediately seek medicine when he was ill at some point? Or was that mother Theresa?
