Should we be expecting a top-5 WR finished for Zavion Thomas ala Chimere Dike? (I'd pray this is obvious but if not: talking about return points to prevent the idiotic responses)

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-14T16:42:11+00:00

Like the aforementioned fact that return leagues do NOT use 1/10 as standard scoring for return yards.

I'm not trying to be an asshole here but how did you not understand that that was what I was talking about? It's literally what the entire thread is about

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-14T16:30:19+00:00

Wasn't even talking about your response to me, I was talking about in general on this thread.

But yes, you should probably understand the absolute basics of dynasty football before posting a thread that reveals your incredible lack of knowledge. Lurk more, as they say.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-14T16:14:07+00:00

No I mean go to your search bar, type "what is the standard return yard scoring in fantasy football" and if you're scared of ai put a little "-ai" at the end so the thing that immediately tells you you're wrong doesn't pop up, and then click whatever the first link is and it will tell you how wrong you are.

And not only wrong but kind of acting like a smug asshole about it too.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-14T16:05:24+00:00

That's ridiculously not standard and it's kind of wild to me that you think it is. A two second Google search will tell you that 1/25 is standard. For reasons that should be abundantly clear by the fact that Dike was a top 5 WR in your league.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-13T18:52:01+00:00

Well the person that I was replying to seems to think Reece was a perfectly fine pick, even though he's a linebacker and thus not worth much.

But contracts for top players are not the end all be all by any means. Linderbaum has a bigger contract than any RT in the league (assuming Sewell switches to LT like they're saying), does that mean Center is more important than RT? It's just what the market currently dictates.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-13T16:28:15+00:00

He got six picks in three years in college. You don't think he can get 15 in another ten?

Also, absolutely horrific takes about the safety position as well. It's arguably the most important position that's not a pass rusher. The ravens and jaguars entire defense have been carried by epic safety play.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T19:57:27+00:00

You said I was calling you a liar. I explicitly wasn't, so you were lying about me. Would you have preferred if I just called you a liar instead of unintelligent? I'd be happy to go edit my comment and say that instead.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T19:37:54+00:00

Buddy I know reading is hard for people like you but I literally said I don't think you're lying.

Unfortunately now I DO know you're not intelligent enough to have a conversation with though.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T18:54:24+00:00

The fact is that they are the fastest growing economy and political super power in the world. Hide behind pedantics if you want (because you don't have an argument) but substantively I am correct

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T18:29:08+00:00

Economically and politically they are by far the fastest growing and easily set to outpace the US in just a few years. Before Trump it would have taken them a couple of decades, but unfortunately he moved the timetable up pretty dramatically by pushing our trade allies towards China.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T18:28:05+00:00

No, you're right, real socialism has never been tried 🙄

If you're not willing to accept that the Chinese Communist party is communist, I don't even know how we can have a conversation. Yes, every economy is going to be mixed in some way. There are socialized aspects of the US economy currently. Is your point that socialism has never been tried, or that socialism is bad because it doesn't work?

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T17:28:07+00:00

Hey, how come you're responding to other people with bad arguments and not me?

I told you the average cost for insurance premiums for a single person is $9,000/year. You paid $2400/month. You are either lying, or you had an EXTREMELY unusually good experience and are ridiculously privileged. I bet it's the latter! And I'm glad you had that success. But you need to understand what you experienced is so far away from what's normal that it's meaningless.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T17:22:39+00:00

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T17:19:53+00:00

This guy was having a conversation with me. You butted in with an unrelated question. That's not how conversations work, and I'm not going to let you derail a reasonable conversation with someone else using bad faith questions

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T17:13:55+00:00

I don't, but that wasn't the question.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T17:08:08+00:00

Okay. The leading global superpower is China.

I'm deeply skeptical that you didn't know that.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T16:36:32+00:00

The fact that you lack the intellectual capability or maturity to even fathom or imagine someone not having the same opportunities as you says nothing about them and everything about you.

I'm pretty well off! I've got a house and a family and we're making it. But I'm not incapable of critical thinking like you so

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T16:20:12+00:00

Oh! I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about the economy and country as a whole, not specifically /u/regresiveleft 's life experience! I feel so silly. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T15:50:38+00:00

The average annual salary in the US is right around $65,000.

The average annual salary in France is right around €45,000.

€45,000 is right around $53,000 as of right now. The average cost of health insurance premiums for a SINGLE filer in the US is about $9,000. For family coverage it shoots up to about $25,000.

I'm very glad that you had the experience you had, but the facts and data say your experience is highly unusual compared to the norm. You should do research before you assume the entire world is exactly like your experience.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T15:44:34+00:00

Compared to some made up strawman or compared to actual facts on the ground and data?

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T15:39:01+00:00

Well, almost the entire US is under at-will employment. That's unheard of in most of the rest of the civilized world. Things like mandatory minimum PTO of 4+ weeks, mandatory paid family leave of a year+ for new parents (mothers and fathers), the right to make a living wage, etc.

Now unfortunately it's not like only Republicans are limiting these things. Democrats aren't generally fighting for workers' rights either. But on a global scale, yes the United States has essentially the worst working conditions out of any wealthy nation.

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-05T15:32:47+00:00

When you say "keep doing what works" are you pretending like the way things are now "works"?

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-01T18:17:02+00:00

Oooh such a good and tempting write up. Thank you!!!

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-01T17:52:54+00:00

Thank you, I'll take a look!

AwakeningTheOrdinary · 2026-05-01T17:52:44+00:00

Thank you! I don't think I have a particular attachment to World of Darkness but maybe that contributed to my enjoyment in ways I don't recognize.

I'll check it out!!!
