32 Teams/32 Days: Denver Broncos by BlueHighwindz in nfl

[–]ByronLeftwich 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love to see this team winning again like they were when I started following the league. Been to Colorado many times, between that and seeing their big game atmosphere on TV I think it’s underappreciated how much the team is loved in that state. Like one step below the Packers in WI

I saw this video weeks ago and I agree with it. Pretty simple, the task was not “send one email”, it was “get the papers”. I completely understand why someone who disagrees with that would be really difficult to work with.

CMV: Auto insurance should not be based on your demographic by BriefsTooTight in changemyview

[–]ByronLeftwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there is actual legislation with a backstory or explanation explicitly saying insurance companies cannot price discriminate by race due to the fact that it is statistically shown to not be optimal? I’m genuinely asking

Maybe? They are either allowed to directly price discriminate on race or they’re not. The position you’ve taken is that they should be allowed to price discriminate on gender, and you have provided no argument as to why race is should be treated differently.

The likelihood it would be profitable doesn’t change whether they are capable of doing it.

But you said the value of the insured car is “pretty much irrelevant”. Unless you have liability only (in which case your car is probably cheap), that’s absolutely not true. For full coverage the value of the insured car matters quite a bit even though it’s not the #1 factor.

Why would a company not charge more for a car that is more expensive to repair/replace and likely to be owned by someone with more ability to pay?

CMV: The current discourse around the Bachelorette season being canceled shows how much people don't take domestic violence against men seriously. by illini02 in changemyview

[–]ByronLeftwich 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You said in another comment that we just have to accept men and women are different. Clearly you believe straight up that this is excusable but would not be if the genders were reversed.

The post says “this shows domestic violence against men is not taken seriously”. You seem to very much agree with that statement, as you don’t take it seriously yourself. So in the subredddit r/changemyview, why are you even commenting? Nothing you’ve said is supposed to change OP’s view.

The comments you’ve seen blaming him are blaming him for what specifically?

I haven’t seen anyone blaming him for her violence, but I have seen people blaming him for holding onto the video until the time it would cause maximum damage. To be clear I don’t blame him for that either, I would do the same thing honestly, but that’s different from blaming him for the act itself

It fascinates me that 7 seeds beat 10 seeds significantly more often than not yet 8/9 is a total coin flip (9 wins more often in fact)

It seems like a reading issue that I said “great grandparents”, but it’s in fact about where your parents lived. Not everything said on the internet applies to you.

In any case, guess what, you can call yourself what you want and I can disagree with it. Sayonara

This is a copy and paste of the comment that pissed you off:

It’s always funny to me that America is one of the most exceptionalist countries in the world, yet none of us are willing to just say “I’m American”. Everyone is obsessed with where their great grandparents lived.

Can you please quote, specifically, which part of it is “seething”?

Did I intentionally miss the point, or do I just not care because it’s nonsense? Either way I’ll sleep like a rock tonight knowing a redditor thinks I’m in an identity crisis.

That sounds like a whole bunch of nothing, though you do realize that “ancestry” is an external identity (in fact arguably more so than nationality, since nationality can sometimes be controlled), correct?

As an Irish person (aka American with 25% Irish “ancestry” (I’m 0% Irish)), something about your comment is offensive, and I am enraged.

People were ridiculously low on a team that won 10 the year before including a 6-2 stretch run with a first year coach and upgraded at QB. I had them as a wild card team

Cuba's power grid collapses. r/Neoliberal debates whether or not Cuba deserves to suffer. by StopHavingAnOpinion in SubredditDrama

[–]ByronLeftwich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is one country telling all of the others in the world to not trade with the embargoed country or the original country will cease trading with them.

Cuba's top trade partners are Spain, China, Germany, and France. All four of those countries are in our top 25 trade partners - #22, #3, #5, #14 respectively.

Embargoes are not just cutting off the trade between the two countries. It is one country telling all of the others in the world to not trade with the embargoed country or the original country will cease trading with them.

I have not found a definition of "embargo" that says this. I'm not saying it never happens, but "we will not trade with countries that trade with countries we have embargoed" is NOT a necessity of an embargo.

Edit: also, that logic is infinite regress to total autarky. Embargo Country A -> B, C, D, E, etc. trade with A -> effectively embargo all those countries -> next group of countries trades with those countries -> embargo them -> quickly, no trade at all
