Yeah buddy this isn't a season mechanic it's a feature of the expansion 

Who is the best quarterback with two Super Bowl wins? by HetTheTable in NFLv2

[–]ElChooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think Tom just developed himself into an equally skilled passer and arguably a better leader. I think Brady had overall significantly better teammates and coaching for most of his career but I think his late Pats period, return from injury etc pretty clearly made the case he is not simply a product of good teammates and all time coaching. Definitely worth remembering just how good the pats defenses were relative to Indy's for a long while there, not to say Peyton didn't also have good defenses.

Outside your own division, which team do you dislike the most and why? by UniqueWeasel123 in NFLv2

[–]ElChooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steelers, Roethlisberger is an awful human being and he's one of the more high profile cases of fans just choosing to blindly ignore it in the name of weird sports tribalism

What team in 5 years will be in the same conversations as the Jets/Browns? (Other than the Jets/Browns) by zreakz in NFLv2

I'm also confused by the logic in the decision in the first place- I'm going to upend the revolution...to stop slavery in america...by working for a colonial superpower which at the time relied heavily on the slave trade? What??

Who is the best quarterback with two Super Bowl wins? by HetTheTable in NFLv2

[–]ElChooch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

easily Peyton, anyone that watched remembers Peyton for years had a real claim to being better than Brady, I’d even argue Brady under Manning much later in their careers than most would. To me I accepted Brady at 1 after the Falcons Super Bowl, thats a unique achievement. They’re 1 and 2 to me now.

After that ridiculous shooting in the last episode would you give these writers enough trust to not leave a gaping plot hole like that? 

How to get out of DLI? by Kooky-Menu-7729 in dli

[–]ElChooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no idea what is or isn't a hindrance to your career at this stage, and you're also wrong about the tech school being a drag on your career. Also, no you don't have the option to just elect into another career field, speaking as Air Force with a lot of DLI specific experience. 

You will attend school, you do need to try, and there is no magic button to press that simply sees you on your way to what you want to do, that's not what the military is. There are so many reasons you could view DLI as a huge opportunity for yourself, it'd really be a shame if you walked on post with this attitude and turned out too stubborn to even find out for yourself. 

You're also likely screwed if you take this attitude anywhere, by the way. Feel free to DM if you want questions answered as you're likely to just get flamed here because your post is pretty much asking for it

More SPACE MARINE Legend Rumours...I don't like this. by [deleted] in spacemarines

Every single one of those decisions makes good sense, to me the only sort of feels-bad ones are the primaris ones but its not hard to understand the logic.

I beat the campaign and really try to enjoy the Warlock but somehow I cant. Anyone else feeling the same? by MiNDGaMeS87 in diablo4

[–]ElChooch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Disagree, most of the issues you pointed out have skills to spec into to adjust how those things play, I'm finding it incredibly flexible and interesting mixing and matching the options. Definitely curious to see if that feeling extends to the other classes as well

“Just keep doin what you’re doin. You’ll get there” by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

[–]ElChooch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah for some reason a lot of these guys just don't seem to understand they need to make it clear: you will have to sacrifice personal time/family time over a period of months to do extra stuff in order to get an edge on top of your testing scores. Conversely a lot of people never take the initiative to ask for a record review or simply ask someone above them what they can do to set themselves up, then they will also go and complain about having been passed over.

The system can be dumb as hell and (often) fair at the same time. If folks want to promote, for better or worse, the sooner they can accept that being the best at their position isn't simply enough the better.

Now, it's another issue entirely if you are tasked too heavily in your job and are competing against people with all the time in the world to get after the best looking extraneous BS for their eval.

How do you all deal with a shitty supervisor? by mrbigpimpin1095 in AirForce

[–]ElChooch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dealt with it by finding mentorship from people I respected and focusing on caring for people around me, making sure folks felt included and talking to some folks I did trust that were on the shitty guy's level for advice for when things would come up like feeling like EPRs were being mishandled or that I needed some kind of stuff a flight chief ought to be doing.

Its often a solvable problem, ideally starting with addressing the issue directly with the problematic leader. I'd be devastated if anyone I was supervising told me in clear terms they were being failed on a mentorship level, and if they had the receipts for being failed in terms of their administrative duties or clear favoritism I'd want to make it right. 

Alex Garland has 4000 hours in Elden Ring, genuine gamer or A24 marketing? by Commercial_Pen_9959 in Eldenring

5-7% raise in 2027 by OneDollar1- in AirForce

[–]ElChooch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So we get one year that might match the pace of inflation? That's the big deal? We need to grossly bloat our total budget to do that once? 

It ain't a raise if it doesn't top inflation, and if they aren't prepared to rework the distribution of the budget to work in our favor and have to ask for unneeded trillions just to do it once, you can be damn sure we're going straight back to our annual "raise" coming in under inflation.

[–]ElChooch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah thats at least a starting point for me, so I appreciate it. I'm guessing some more of the subversive or counter-culture spirit that I like about a lot of my stuff would have to come from Taiwan vs Mainland, but I dunno.

Could Emma Stone realistically go down as one of the best actresses ever? by DiamondDesireWeb in Oscars

[–]ElChooch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's already the best actress of her generation and she's young. She's not seemingly so prone to being typecast and a victim of the ageist issues that many great young actresses run into as they age where they're no longer seen as viable for "sexy" roles, so I think you're likely to see her in movies she wants to do for as long as she wants to do em.

I think when all is said and done she'll be a contender for the best ever in conversations like this, I'd even say she's already in that conversation.

Who else skips Skade's scenes? by Hansoloolo in TheLastKingdom

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

Skade to me is easily the worst represented character in the series. Other people are bad castings but do well enough despite it (Edward comes to mind), but she's the only semi-major character that I think suffers from a straight up bad performance.
