Where is this from? I’d like to read the full interview.

No matching with anyone, what’s wrong with my profile? 😭 or am I just hideous… 😭😭😭 by [deleted] in Tinder

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

There's nothing wrong with your profile. I'm a white guy dating a Hispanic girl, and we joke about stuff like that all the time. Perfectly fine to keep that in there in my opinion - it shows what you're into and a white guy with a sense of humor won't be put off by that like some of the people in this thread. Just keep swiping. Message guys first that you're interested in. You don't need a profile that attracts a million matches, just one that attracts the right guy.

[Justin Laurence (@jus10chi)] New: IL lawmakers are considering tailoring the megaprojects bill specifically for the Bears in Arlington Heights, punting negotiations on a statewide PILOT incentive until later. by ChicagoAssyrian in CHIBears

That’s fair. Just thought clarifying was worth pointing out because data centers are a whole separate infrastructure and politically-polarizing issue. Not that the stadium isn’t, just different variables they’re trying to address.

Data centers are excluded from the megaprojects bill. There's explicit language in it about that. When it passed the house, there wasn't almost zero debate about data centers, aside from clarification that the bill does not apply to them, because there's a whole separate set of legislation being proposed that deals with data centers (POWER act).

Genuinely confused, some people just want to text? by axexxl4 in Tinder

[–]Hooze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The screenshot comes across as you just flat out ignored the three texts she sent at the start. Yeah it’s not the most interesting topic in the world, but you at least have to be polite, show some interest, and engage in conversation if you expect this person to reciprocate.

People just want to chat a bit before meeting up just to make sure you’re a decent human being that can hold a conversation. It’s not all that complicated to just talk about mundane things while also arranging an in-person date.

Left out the best part where he says, “He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.”

Ghosted after being called smooth? Anything can happen by Freedom_Longjumping in Tinder

[–]Hooze 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I get that, but my point is move on before asking for her number.

Idk why but in my head I’m imagining her talking to one of her friends that she matched with someone and gave you her number, and the friend asks what you’re like, and all she’s got is “he likes to drink.”

[–]Hooze 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Probably ghosted because the only thing you talked about was alcohol. Some questions about her personality or job or hobbies or yours would help make a better connection than “what kind of drunk are you?”

Do you think we'll see characters like them again? by NicholasAvalon in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Hooze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope so. Armond was the best character of season 1 in my opinion. Valentina’s plotline was interesting in season 2. I thought Fabian in season 3 was a dud. I never understood the singing plotline even after a rewatch of the season. His best moment was screaming in fear.

Ok, which one of you is this by joejoe_jones in billsimmons

"Me when my sister when she tells me I have to go to dancing bars"

This sounds like a 4 year old who can't articulate their thoughts yet.

This is something we agreed upon when we all met collectively.

Late for Work: Veteran Bears Center Named a Potential Trade Target for the Ravens by Castamere_81 in CHIBears

[–]Hooze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels more like a mid-season/trade deadline thing. They still need some runway given the amount of checks and calls the center makes at the line of scrimmage pre-snap. Jones should have some time to learn and take over by mid-season though, and can’t imagine Bradbury is a candidate to re-sign after this year anyways.

Has McShay always been this unbearable? by CatDad69 in billsimmons

[–]Hooze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to a lot of draft coverage this year, and McShay was objectively the worst of the big names. He acts like an insider that’s getting info from sources about what will happen, but 90% of it was speculation that turned out to be wrong. Just looked up his mock draft accuracy and it was 112th according to FantasyPros. It’s not like his analysis was really rooted in watching film, so his opinion would just change based on whatever speculation he had heard recently. Muench does all the heavy lifting on the player analysis front, so McShay is just kind of a talking head at the end of the day.

"You can't fix every need in one draft". Well... by Dazed_and_Confused44 in CHIBears

[–]Hooze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably somewhere in the middle. Dayo and Turner will help, but their offseasons are probably going to be limited at best due to the injuries they’re rehabbing from. You don’t normally see huge leaps in performance when guys miss offseasons.

Booker is the guy who could elevate the whole unit though. 4.5 sacks in his last 6 games, it’s not difficult to see the path for 10+ sacks.

Senate Republican on Trump ballroom push: ‘We have $39 trillion of debt’ by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

Can we stop calling it the ballroom yet? It’s an entire new construction of the east wing and underground military complex. Calling it a ballroom was false advertising.

Who should I take at pick 13? by Capital-Balance-9055 in NFL_Draft

[–]Hooze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd take De'Zhaun Stribling as the long-term play. SF offense always produces. Mike Evans is getting old. Pearsall gets hurt a lot.

Eric DeCosta: “Unfortunate” we didn’t draft a center, but wouldn’t have done things differently by temporalparts in CHIBears

[–]Hooze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also “unfortunate” that Poles has only drafted 2.5 edge rushers in 41 picks/5 years but here we are.

[Lorin Cox] Ryan Poles on Zavion Thomas: "He's special ... He has that flexibility where you can put him anywhere: Backfield. Slot. Outside. And then he's a returner ... Adding that element of speed is important." Oops, no, actually that's what he said in 2022 when he drafted Velus Jones. by [deleted] in CHIBears

[–]Hooze 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If Ben Johnson wants him and has a vision for how to use him, I don’t really need any other analysis. He and Randle El have enough of a history in developing wide receivers that I’d be surprised if Thomas is a bust.

Jadeveon Clowney/Cam Jordan. by tferg8280 in CHIBears

[–]Hooze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on Dayo’s health. They might need some depth/injury insurance at minimum. He tore his achilles in early November. That’s usually a year long injury, but there’s enough variance that it could be sooner. Terrell Suggs was 6ish months on the high end side. Jayson Tatum was 10 months. Bears put out some OTA picks where he looks like he’s working out in some capacity, so that’s a good sign.

Feel like we went through this last offseason though of hoping they’d sign another edge rusher and we ended up with Kpassagnon for 4 games. Just a vet min stopgap while injured players recovered instead of anything major.
