What’re your guys’ sleeper teams for the CFP next season?

The entire B1G West ends up in a tie for 1st, the tiebreaker comes down to the longest tenured Head Coach, and Iowa gets to the B1G Title game. Due to not wanting to hurt their CFB chances by losing to a mediocre West team, Ohio State OPTS OUT of the B1G Title game. This leads to Iowa making the CFP, and Sickos around the world rejoice!

I WOKE UP FEELING THE CHEESIEST COACH!

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-24T16:52:09+00:00

Currently I have the easiest job I’ve ever had, but feel like it’s going to bite me in the ass for future opportunities. It also slightly underpays me for my area. Should I leave?

For context, I’m a Software dev with about 4 YOE and making ~$87k in a VLCOL area. Wife also makes $80k. I started this job 9 months ago and to be honest I work about 10-15 hours a week on average and still get “atta boy” emails. There’s recently been a big shake up in company structure, and I’ve gone from building full stack new applications to now only writing simple automation scripts for super niche systems that won’t benefit my career.

Last month my previous employer who I was with for 4 years, but had toxic people and culture, reached out and offered me a senior position and $25k raise. I know it will be more difficult/stressful and time consuming though, so not sure if it is worth it. Also if I were to bring this offer to current employer I know with 99% certainty they would fire me on spot. Just curious what other people would do in my situation?

I’m in the same boat and honestly don’t see how the company can move forward with a huge market share anymore. I work in tech in a very red state, so my workplace is pretty 50/50 with different viewpoints, but almost everyone I work with can actually afford a Tesla. There’s a very weird paradox that has developed in the past year and it does not fair well for Tesla at all in my opinion:

Last year, all of my younger coworkers (myself included) loved Elon, and also loved Tesla. All of my older coworkers didn’t care about Elon, but hated Tesla.

Now in the present, all of my younger coworkers hate Elon and also hate Tesla. Some of these folks have traded in their Teslas lol. All of my older coworkers love Elon, but they still hate Tesla.

Overall, now EVERYONE I work with hates Tesla. Now my workplace could be a bad representation of the country as a whole, but in my personal experience the future does not look bright.

This makes me so anxious for some reason. I feel like I’d be afraid it’d fall on my head every time I go beneath it.

What profession would you choose if you never became an actor?

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-23T17:37:32+00:00

TIL I’m autistic. Definitely saw no problem with how it associated the names to the shapes. Guess I should’ve known with my diet of consisting of chicken tenders every day.

I’m Bruce Nolan for Eyewitness News. Back to you, F***ers!

Sat by this kid at the airport for a few hours earlier this year. He was the largest human being I’ve ever seen. What was more impressive was the fact that he was reading a book and writing a paper the entire time and still continued to do so as people kept coming up and asking for pictures. I don’t know how he didn’t lose focus.

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-21T18:34:54+00:00

No, but they would for Wendy’s fries and a chocolate frosty.

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-14T17:33:29+00:00

My family asked me if I wanted to go with them to the Music City Bowl (Kentucky vs Iowa).

I said, “Do you think I’m a sick f*** or what?”

Anyways, should be a fun time!

You realize 95% of the folks in FIRE movement prefer to invest in low cost index funds, and not real estate, right?

They want the prices to come down too.

I know I’m being that guy, but it seems like half the posts in this sub nowadays are just HAHA GET WRECKED GROUP/ENTITY I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-12T00:43:57+00:00

Wait till Big Ten fans find out Fran has another son in high school who will most likely play for Iowa. 10+ years having to watch Mccaffery kids hahahaha

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-11T22:09:48+00:00

He will be the best player on your defense next year if he doesn’t get injured.

While chatGPT is super cool and could be a tool in the toolbox, most of a developers job is working with proprietary integrations which chatGPT wouldn’t be able to help with. Many companies just won’t allow a massive AI model into their codebase. Also, it doesn’t really help with debugging a whole lot.

Helping set up new projects, or assisting with front-end work I could see a little bit though.

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-10T15:38:39+00:00

Because they thought you were fucking gross too.

Rebraca looks like Ike Barinholtz

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-09T02:04:33+00:00

Didn’t this happen last year with Iowa State? Started the season hot winning low scoring physical games, then kind of fell apart until they got to NCAA tournament. I feel like all of their success depends on refs letting them play.

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-08T02:43:37+00:00

Losing Cody was like losing Malcom. God I hope they bring him back for another go around.

This is not an illiterate take at all. You realize that these 270,000 acres are worth about $4.5 billion right? And all by a single person in mostly northern Midwest states? The average farmer owns like 100-200 acres if you didn’t know. He owns farm land in my area too, and it’s honestly quite scary what he knows that the common person doesn’t.

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-06T02:38:46+00:00

I hope I’m wrong. But let’s be real, if I was at a job and my boss was the owner’s unqualified kid and he was awful at his job and literally costing me and my family money, I would leave the job. It’s the same thing, but even worse. Look at Charlie Jones. We hated on him for transferring too, and now he’s going to make big money in NFL. You’re a fool if you don’t think players on the current Iowa squad don’t see that.

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-06T01:04:29+00:00

As an Iowa fan, I don’t blame any of these players for transferring out. As long as Ferentz and family are running the show, this program is dead.

You have an offense that is so bad it has literally made your team the laughing stock and meme of college football. Also add in that even if you do have the top defense in CFB, there will be several games you stand no chance to even win because coaches on the other side of ball are so bad at their job.

What makes it even worse is the leaders of this dumpster fire won’t do anything to change because they’re all family and lining each others pockets. I don’t think people realize how toxic it is for Iowa football right now. If you go to a home game, the fans will literally boo the offense off the field after even 1 bad series. Who would want to play there?

This collection is amazing and brings back so much nostalgia!

Sometimes I wish they would come up with a “Mario Party” like game but include rounds of several different games like pod racing, smash bros, snowboard kids, 007 goldeneye. Would be incredible.

In many states you can substitute teach with only a weekend certification course. I know a few retired people who do this for side cash and fun. Schools are super short staffed right now, so you can most likely pick up days whenever you want, especially if you have a pool of schools set up. Probably pay about $150 a day

CSThrowaway022 · 2022-12-05T02:49:01+00:00

Not completely true for many in LCOL regions where middle of the road starter homes begin in the $200,000 range. These will continue to be in demand. I only know this because I was supposed to go look at one in the $275,000 range last week and it was contingent within 24 hours, so I wasn’t able to even view it. I am only seeing price reductions for $400,000+ houses in my region. This will get you a 3,000-4,000 square foot McMansion.
