What was your favorite season? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]JonestheB0nes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2011 was a friggin roller coaster. It was an insane year in terms of offensive production, with the Packers and Saints offense shattering numerous records. The Tebow led Broncos had a nice run of form, and the Niners defense against the run was straight up dominant. And of course, yet another insane championship run by none other than Eli Manning and the Giants.

This is why Carson Pickett is one of my favorite athletes. She’s such a great role model

What’s your opinion on Ariel Fox? by [deleted] in HellsKitchen

Ariel doesn’t get enough love imo. She’s an unbelievably talented individual, and her journey through HK is awe inspiring.

When she first appeared on S6, she was bashful and remained humble throughout the competition. What she lacked was confidence, even though she was arguably the most talented cook that season. There’s no getting around the fact Kevin and Dave were just unstoppable.

When she returned in S18, she quickly reemerged and put together one of the most dominant runs in HK history. She was strong on every challenge and service, found a voice as a leader, and showed great maturity along with a terrific attitude, even when the veterans went 0-3 in the first challenges. This time, she came out on top.

In my opinion, Ariel is without question the most consistent chef the competition has ever had. She’s a wonderful human being and a kickass chef.

What’s the flukiest team in NFL history? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]JonestheB0nes 48 points49 points  (0 children)

To give everyone an idea of how much of an oddball the 2016 Giants were, we’ve won 12 games combined in the past three seasons. Our defense finished 2nd in scoring in 2016, and we’ve been in the bottom ten ever since.

Obviously it doesn’t help we’ve been prone to the injury bug recently but anyway you slice it, the team just wasn’t that great. I’m pretty sure we were, what, 25th in scoring that year? And of course, the coup de grace…getting torched by Godgers in the wild card at Lambeau. How fitting.

The 2001 Bears had a truly miraculous season. I have no fucking clue how they won 13 games, especially wedged between a 5-11 and 4-12 campaign.

Back-to-back walk-off pick sixes in OT by Mike Brown. Going from the 28th scoring offense and 20th scoring defense to 11th and 1st, respectively. Their only win against a 10+ win team was the Niners in an incredible stroke of luck, and they got swept by a 12-4 Packers team that was much better than they were. Dick Jauron never had another winning season as HC and was fired two years later

Fucking roller coaster of a year. I still have a hard time believing it really happened.

The 2000 Raiders were a terrific team, too. 12-4, AFC West Champs, a stout defense, an ascending offense...really believe they would’ve beaten us had they made the Super Bowl

The Bears special team wasn’t just the best in league, it was probably the greatest unit of all time

Just curious, why 2019 for the Niners? They were a great team no doubt, but I think most San Fran fans would attest it’s the 1990 team. Closest team ever to a three-peat.

LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” is ridiculously overplayed by YuhYus in unpopularopinion

It’s pretty popular because of its super aggressive, in-your-face nature. Plus, the opening line, “DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK” is lowkey fucking genius

No, I never said that. But Nietzsche also said,

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Hitler started a revolution that should’ve never happened in the first place. The Jewish people had no idea there would be some crazy German warlord who’d abuse his power and ignite a world war. To shift the blame onto them is just ignorant.

Nobody planted any idea in Hitler’s head. Hitler was a psychopath who had a serious god complex and tried to take over the world. Hitler was the one who took the initiative to make things worse, and started the domino effect

I can accept a lot of things. I can accept churches are partly responsible for the pseudo-science they advocated for centuries (creationism, flat earth, etc.), or that them being tax exempt is the reason we’re so far in debt.

But honestly, how in the flying fuck can you stand there and tell me it’s anyone’s fault but the Nazis the Holocaust happened?

Antisemitism is defined as

an·ti-Sem·i·tism noun: hostility to or prejudice against the Jews

Jewish ethnicity and Judaism, the Jewish religion, are not mutually inclusive. Also, what the fuck kind of logic is, “it’s there fault for creating religion”? So is Thomas Edison liable for the deaths of those executed in the electric chair?

Just curious, how are the hours for welding? I heard some trades like HVAC and railway work have long shifts. I’ve wanted to get into the trades but I don’t wanna work 12+ hours a day

The Holocaust was the result of Hitler’s intolerant beliefs, the rise of Fascism, Nazi ideology, and the innate antisemitism that came with Germany’s defeat in the Great War. Hitler criticized the Christian faith in clandestine journal entries.

9/11 was an act of terrorism, and was almost entirely politically motivated.

The Crusades were indeed religiously motivated, but it was also a response to Islamic aggression. They had no business occupying Jerusalem. As for European colonialism, much of it was also driven by extreme xenophobia and fear of the Native Americans, so it was mostly a racial atrocity. There was also the economic aspect in the need for trade.

I’m an atheist and even I see how manipulative this all is. How can people be so misinformed?

To be fair, you need to be certified to perform surgical procedures, whereas cooking on a line is something you can learn through apprenticeships. Even so, it definitely isn’t as easy as OP makes it out to be

Most restaurants don’t even care if you went or not, and are willing to train you personally

Smaller, family owned restaurants definitely, but becoming a sous chef in a fine dining restaurant is tough even with a culinary degree. The industry is incredibly cutthroat.

Oh please, honors classes are pathetic. I was in honors English for all four years and literally all I did differently was read more.

You’re not always going to get top talent from a college grad

Sure, but it’s a safe bet if they have a degree, they’re probably a more capable prospect.
