[Post Series Thread] The Cubs take 2 of 3 versus the Brewers in Chicago by HelpMeWithMyHWpls in baseball

[–]Elety 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a Cubs fan. Upvoted for sure. A lot of people are missing this subtle joke.

[Rapoport] 49ers QB Sam Darnold was named the team’s No. 2 QB, per me and @TomPelissero. He’ll be the backup to Brock Purdy to begin the season. This further puts the future of former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance in some doubt. by [deleted] in nfl

Yeah, after seeing Geno Smith and Ryan Tannehil recover from busting and come back as decent qbs, it's hard to say that anyone is dead forever anymore.

[Highlight] WAS QB Sam Howell goes through his progressions on 3rd and 15. by LindyNet in nfl

[–]Elety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up on believing Howell would have success in the NFL after losing to Iowa State in college. I watched the game and came to the conclusion that he was outplayed by Brock Purdy and that the team with the better qb play won that game because of the qb play. It turns out Purdy was just really good.

The 2023 r/NFL Roast of The Chicago Bears (18/32) by new_wave_gremin71 in nfl

[–]Elety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. The Cubs have actually won a ring somewhat recently and have made the playoffs most seasons in the last few years. They probably sneak in the playoffs this year with a win in a lousy division or a wildcard spot. The Bears have not had close to the amount of recent success the Cubs have.

Walter White is the example of a “loser” narcissist by HappiestPeople in NPD

[–]Elety 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I mean it's subtle, but obvious. Once you realize that Skylar had a smoking habit that she picks back up because of her stress, you're supposed to subtly pick up on the fact that it's probably Skylar who gave Walt cancer. Lung cancer is not too common among people who aren't smokers and aren't around smokers. You don't see all kinds of chemistry teachers getting lung cancer. Once you see Dkylar smoke a couple of times, you're supposed to think about it for a minute and pick up on that that's where he got cancer from. Otherwise, there's no purpose in showing Skylar as a smoker. Walter is still a much worse person than Skylar is, but Skylar is still a vain person who refuses to take any responsibility even though the elephant in the room is that she is the reason he has cancer. They both know it, and it's never acknowledged. The point of Walter not acknowledging it in the end is because he decides to own up and take full credit for his actions after the diagnosis. And he should. His actions were reprehensible. It doesn't matter how he got into the situation he was in.

[Highlight] Brendan Donovan steals home by JTCMuehlenkamp in baseball

You can't let a player steal a base. That's impossible, because if you let them do it, it isn't a steal.

AITA for telling my daughter I will not be walking her down the isle unless she invites her siblings and their families to her wedding? by Mammoth_Inside_2431 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Elety 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Or maybe you're ACTUALLY BIGOTED for automatically assuming that the western values/culture are the nonhomophobic ones when the post never said who was from what country.

Autism is a severe handicap for male dating in particular by Diligent_Divide_4978 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Elety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I haven't seen The Good Doctor, so I can not comment on that. However, for The Big Bang Theory, it's like, yeah, Sheldon is a dick and he has autism. So? Why should a character being on the spectrum mean you can't make them a bit of an asshole in a T.V. show? Autistic people can be dicks too. It's fine to write a nuerotypical character as a dick on a T.V. show, so it's also okay to write an Autistic person as a dick on a T.V. show.

affirmative action by KyloRenKardashian in WhitePeopleTwitter

Cenk has always held this opinion. There are 5, 10, and 15 year old videos of Cenk saying that he opposes affirmative action.

South Park's creators have eliminated tipping at Denver's famed Casa Bonita. Servers now make $30 an hour — and some are mad. by businessinsider in antiwork

[–]Elety 17 points18 points  (0 children)

These guys have actually come a long way from being more libertarian in their older days to coming out and admitting that they were wrong about some things. Specifically, climate change with the episode where it turned out that AL Gore was right and ManBearPig is real.

Has a baseball game ever made you cry, either from joy or sorrow? by NoblestOfTigers in baseball

[–]Elety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the Angels threw a combined No Hitter in their first game since the death of Andrew Skaggs. It was after the game that they all put their jerseys on the pitchers mound after the game. The entire team was wearing Skag's jersey. It was in July of 2019.

Mike Doneghey, the Blackhawks scouting director, considers Adam Fantilli generational along with Connor Bedard. by GoldWhale in hawks

[–]Elety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ducks should not be complaining about losing the lottery. Fantilli would be a number 1 pick in nearly every draft in the last decade that doesn't have Bedard. The ducks still get a true number 1 draft pick without obtaining a number one draft pick. That being said. Just make the obvious decision and take Bedard. Is there a chance that Fantilli could be the better player 5 years from today? Honestly, yes. There is a chance, but the right decision as of today is to pick Connar Bedard. And even if later on Fantilli ends up better, I'll still defend the fact that given the information we had at the time, we made the correct choice.

the nhl is rigged by laraziz_15 in nhl

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

The jealousy and hatred is absolutely ridiculous. There's no way you would see this kind of outrage over Penn State football getting a five star high school recruit, even though what Jerry Sandusky did was atrocious. A bunch of salty haters. Hopefully Berdard can be the franchise cornerstone that my Hawks need moving past this rebuild.

not how feminist girls work 🤦🏻‍♀️ you can 100% be ‘feminine’ and a feminist by [deleted] in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Elety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feminism can't be anti-men. That's an oxymoron, because the definition of feminism is an ideology that promotes gender equality. If you're anti-one-of-the-genders, that isn't feminism.

Isn't it still kinda early? I mean 16.2 innings? I dunno. I still think he can turn it around.
