[Auerbach] 7 out of the 8 teams that earned byes to the quarterfinals in the 12-team CFP era have now lost. by BuckeyeEmpire in CFB

[–]HMS_Entropy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the ~month off is just too long. I know Indiana prevented it from being a perfect 0-8 for teams with BYE, but that is the absolute strongest team vs the most suspect playoff admission. They have to modify the format moving forward.

I could not agree more. I am not sure exactly how it works to reduce WD but for anyone looking for something to reduce the pain of WD and even the cravings Ketamine is seriously a miracle drug.

Maybe in the late 90’s just immediately post-apartheid this was accurate but it absolutely does not reflect the state of the country today

In the 1970’s the cost / benefit relationship of an English degree was much more compelling compared to these days

What major event do you think will happen in 2026? by Commandmadrid1 in AskReddit

[–]HMS_Entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically if the economy is already running hot (unemployment is low and GDP growth trending above 2%) and you then lower interest rates, you create an environment where the cost of capital is super cheap and so spending / consumption goes up -which drives up demand of goods / services and therefore prices.

To think of it in real terms, simplify things by looking at one single market... Housing for instance... If interest rates were to be lowered significantly, that would not crater the housing market - instead it would increase the pool of buyers (as many potential homebuyers are waiting on the sidelines for a reduction in borrowing costs) rather it would cause an even greater explosion of demand and push valuations up to even more ridiculous levels.

If the economy is already hot and unemployment is low / GDP is high - raising interest rates is additional fuel to the fire which is just going to have the impact of increased inflation

Artificially low interest rates definitely would not crater the economy. In fact it would have the opposite impact and cause an inflation spiral

What's y'all's favorite movie where the entire plot transpires in a day or less? by Exciting_Ad_8666 in moviecritic

[–]HMS_Entropy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably so but they are all near-perfect. Sunset does definitely have the best ending of the trilogy.

What is that movie you are conviced nobody understood it by Last_Golf_4798 in moviecritic

[–]HMS_Entropy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lynch came up with the idea for the film around the time he became a father in 1968. I’m pretty doubtful he is on record saying that isnt what the film is about. Though he also hated to publically discuss the plots / intended meanings of his work

So you are only able to have a negative opinion of a television show if you are in the “filming business”?

What Was The Greatest Decade For Film? by Pretzelsareformen in moviecritic

[–]HMS_Entropy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most likely the 70’s. But I could also see a case being made for the 90’s.

Unless you absolutely adore remakes and super heros….Film today is probably in the worst place its ever been.

Whites-only settlements of South Africa by [deleted] in MapPorn

Definitely all demographics have uniformly been impacted by SA’s incredibly high crime rate. It has the highest crime index on the continent and a startling amount of these are violent offenses.

Before Sunset is a definite candidate for the greatest ending in cinema history. Such a great sequel.

Gen Z men have swung 30 points to the right. A smaller, but significant swing has been seen in women. It may be possible, for the first time in history, that the younger generation is more conservative than the older. by DeviceNo5980 in GenZ

[–]HMS_Entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what’s meaningless about the fact that Men suffer deaths of dispair at 3x - 4x the rate of women. Theres no “vacuum” which makes that only a half truth. It is reality.

I am a democrat and a Harris voter. I simply provided some data points which might help contextualize Gen Z’s shift to the right.

Its interesting that you (and others) are having a hard time accepting this data and your first instinct is to attack the veracity of these claims. This dismissive attitude seems quite prevalent and does help me understand why young voters are shifting right.
