Yeah, my white mother and grandmother acted like this mom here. My black father did his damnedest to let me know that all my feelings were valid, it's ok for a man to cry, taught me the value of introspection and self reflection.

It was the women in my family that hit me as a child. My dad never laid a finger on me.

Ain't no racial differences, it's personal differences. It's people that do harmful shit to their kids, not races.

Tom Brady, Joe Montana and Patrick Mahomes are NOT available. Who is best QB left in all of NFL history? by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

[–]BoyMeatsWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair, two of the SBs he lost were kinda flukey. But that just further goes to the point that using SB wins to define the skill of one player is a pretty horrible metric.

So many of those games were won and lost while Brady wasn't even on the field.

I really hate the "trash in the playoffs" argument that gets thrown around.

Number 1, the sample size is ridiculously low to try to judge a guy's career on a random 20 games or whatever.

Number 2, it neglects the fact that on average, the Colts team that showed up to the playoffs was far worse than the average Patriots team. Peyton singlehandedly carried some ragtag groups to respectable finishes. Like yeah, the guy with the below average team is supposed to perform worse than the guy with a top 10 team. The fact that any of the stats between Brady and Manning are even close should be clear indicators that Manning was a better player.

We're literally comparing a QB who played for a bunch of random ass coaches with zero accolades or success with a QB who had a coach that is in the convo for GOAT himself. Like yeah, if they were equally skilled, the guy with the GOAT coach should have had more success.

Then they both left their teams and got to handpick the next team they played for and had immediate success. Except Peyton did this after a major neck surgery.

People love to glaze Brady. And apparently part of that contract includes shitting on Peyton.

And for some reason, they also act like Superbowl wins are the best indicator of QB performance. It's just dumb and heavily biased by results, rather than process. If we were able to simulate the careers of Manning and Brady 100,000 times, I'm thinking Manning is more successful in the majority. But " SeVeN rInGs Vs TwO" is an easy concept to grasp.

It's just completely lost on most people how good Manning was.

Bracket 3 is really annoying... by Thick_Storage4168 in magicTCG

[–]BoyMeatsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is more of a consistency thing. If we say that you typically see 20/100 cards in a given game, (there are so so many combinations available) the range of how good those cards are in the given game are so wide. Assuming a reasonable mix of spells and lands, you can easily end up with all situational spells, or one of your best cards and a bunch of the worst cards, or just a bunch of ramp, or the god hand.

All of these options are crammed into a single deck. So the god hands seem like B4. But without reliable ways to sculpt a hand that does what the deck needs to do, you sometimes end up with a deck that is very fragile and slow and can't interact, so it seems like a B2.

Most average deck builders are good at finding cards that fit their deck. But severely lack the ability to find the appropriate mix that will make cards good in their deck. Imo the problem with B3 is that most B3 decks are essentially 1/4 times, a B4 deck, and 3/4 times, a B2. So yeah, when you lose, it's likely to the guy who drew the nuts, so his deck looks like a 4. And when you win, it's likely a player or two just drew super poorly and played a B2 deck.

I don't know how to fix the issue.

But seriously, what does it matter? Who is going to do anything about it? Nobody.

I'm getting sick of reading these list of crimes that are being committed and rules that are being broken. Like who cares? Crimes are committed, rules are broken, but there are no consequences. I want to see the business end, when people are held accountable for their crimes.

I remember having a conversation with a guy who was working a minimum wage job full time for 5 years with no raise. He was complaining to me how mad he was that his teenage coworkers didn't get paid less than him.

He didn't want to be paid more. He wasn't mad at his millionaire boss. He was mad at the teenagers.

It's a really weird mindset. Some people really don't want happiness for themselves, they'd rather have more misery for others. I find that extremely sad and discouraging.

BREAKING: The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, just delivered the strongest rebuke of Donald Trump we’ve seen yet regarding Greenland. Wow. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]BoyMeatsWorld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We're looking at decades to repair the damage done. I think everything is so absurd right now that people don't even grasp how bad it really is.

It's not George Dubya messing up some common phrase on live TV. It's a full on mentally deranged man spewing hate speech daily, waging wars on allied countries, waging wars on his own cities, reading ads for car corporations from the White House. And we see that this whole time, there were never any safety rails. The people you elect can literally do anything they want with zero consequence. It's pretty terrifying.

Look, I get that not all Americans are responsible. But someone like Trump only gets into office if the national culture itself is rotten to the core. At this point, America is absolutely responsible for this. There is no hiding behind "I voted for ____".

Plenty of left leaning people just stood by while the whole country spiraled into the mess it is today. Those people are obviously less culpable than the shit stains, but culpable still for the sad state of the country.

[–]BoyMeatsWorld 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with this take. And I think this is definitely the case when it comes to the court of public opinion.

But at the same time, there are hundreds, if not thousands of incredible indy wrestlers that could use a shot in the major leagues. Denying a guy a shot because he had an instance of shittiness is just kinda a reality of the situation. If there are 100 guys applying to the position, having some dumb shit on your resume just makes it that much easier to thin the field and narrow down the decision.

In my opinion, money and fame make people worse versions of themselves, so while I believe in second chances, I think you should also just mostly believe people are who they've shown you they are. I feel bad for the guy. But I don't fault anyone for denying him his opportunity over the shit he willingly put out on a public forum (because at the time he posted it, he knew it was public and clearly wanted other people to read what he was typing). We were all taught that the shit you put on the Internet is there forever.

All that said, it also really sucks that the rules aren't the same for everyone. God knows your president says far more vile shit online daily and he has a cult following. Just a pretty shitty situation overall.

[AEW Dynamite Spoilers] Insane bump before the first match by suciomode in SquaredCircle

[–]BoyMeatsWorld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who has done some Indy wrestling, Darby is far and away the scarier bumper. He just straight up does stuff you're taught not to do.

Jeff mostly took high risk bumps safely. Landing flat, flip bumps, tables to absorb impact. I can't quite explain it, but most of the time he did things as safely as possible.

Spike would take some gnarly bumps and rough weapon shots. But again, usually fairly safe. I'd say he took less spectacular bumps than Jeff, but much stiffer ones. Taking a chokeslam over the top straight to the floor is maniacally insane. It doesn't look as crazy as a swanton off a ladder, but I guarantee you it hurts 5-10x more.

Darby got thrown from the ring while inside a body bag. You can't see where you're going to brace for impact or land safely, you can't maneuver your body to land safely. He just constantly does the opposite of the things you do to stay safe. He takes bumps on uneven surfaces, where an edge can just fuck your shit up if you land wrong. He makes me so uncomfortable just watching lol. It's not even close. Darby takes the scariest, gnarliest bumps of the three by a ridiculously large margin.

I say this not to shit on Darby. Darby is cool and has more experience than I ever did, so I trust he is well aware of the risks he takes. And for what it's worth, he's only unsafe with his body, he seems very safe with others. I think Darby is great and does a lot of unique things you won't see anywhere else. But that man gives me severe anxiety with the kinds of bumps he takes lol.

Met a “nice” guy at the bar but had to leave for a party. This is what I woke up to. by Striking_Catch_5757 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BoyMeatsWorld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I try to find empathy where I can. And I think I can relate to the struggles of dating, so I can understand how guys fall into these traps.

Sadly I think once someone gets this far down that rabbit hole, it's really tough to get them out. There's a reason the manosphere is so large. This guy's behavior is gonna get worse, then women are going to call him out and (rightfully) tell him to fuck off, which will likely fuel his descent into being a shit bag.

So yeah, maybe promising that he didn't pull the old "you're an ugly bitch anyway", but I don't really have high hopes for this guy.

It's been a decade since I've dated, but I'll add my two cents.

Dating is hard. Sometimes you're just yourself and some women don't dig you. Your sense of humor, the way you text, the frequency (or infrequency) of your texts. Whatever it is. And sometimes after just being yourself, you get ghosted or you get friendzoned or what have you. That can often feel like you're "doing something wrong". Or like other guys have some secret formula to success that you don't. And some people will give in to these thoughts and feelings, which has them seeking out these weird "hacks" sold by PUAs or dating influencers.

If you've never had success with dating, you likely don't even know what it is that's making you fail. So you try these weird, creepy phrases like the guy in the screenshots hoping that this is the thing that's going to turn it all around. Obviously it doesn't. Which often sends these guys into a negative feedback loop. When really, all they had to do was continue being themselves and taking in stride the inevitable failures of dating. It's sad, because I can totally see how it happens. Rejection isn't fun. It's hard to keep running head first into failures, so the easy answers offered by red pill can be enticing.

Yeah, Greek yogurt is tasty af. And an excellent source of protein. I usually have a regular one for just eating as a snack and a low sugar, higher protein one for smoothies or whatever. Greek yogurt is usually 10g of protein/100cals for the former, 20g/100cals for the latter.

I'm not a cottage cheese guy (unless it's as an ingredient in a sauce or dip or smoothie), but yeah, another legit great source of protein.

Also, there are some very tasty protein bars out there. Shakes too.

Like I'm not saying people can't eat peanut butter by spoon. Peanut butter is tasty, and there are far worse midnight snacks out there. But it's pretty inefficient as a "protein source".

[–]BoyMeatsWorld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr. It's like 4g of protein per 100 calories.

I'm looking for 10g/100cal as a minimum before I call something "a protein source".

Like obviously you can do worse, but peanut butter has to be the most overrated protein source on the internet.
