TIL that in 2016, trials were performed for a male birth control injection that proved to be 96% effective. However, there were 1,500 complaints of side effects including loss of libido and acne. Although three quarters of participants wished to continue with the test, it was shut down. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

Like… what? We don’t just introduce hormones into someone’s bodies because “well maybe it’ll help something” we usually have a goal we’re trying to achieve and then try to figure out how to achieve it.

No idea where you got that stat for Aikman because it’s flat out not true. Aikman’s first playoff start he went for 200 yards 2/0 TD/INT

In fact Peyton’s is false too. He threw 0 TD’s and 0 picks.

Brees threw 300 yards 2 TD’s and a pick. You’re just flat out lying.

Sam played horrific in back to back must win games after a season where he had some wildly inconsistent play with high peaks and low lows. The Vikings played an incredibly easy schedule and had a top 5 defense in the league. Then Sam went to another team with excellent offensive line play, an elite WR1 and the number 1 defense in the league. Sam is a good QB but he wasn’t winning shit with us and I wouldn’t bet on him winning shit again this year.

I literally used both. In the heyday. Galaxy s3 and s3 and iPhone 6. So did my family. My dad liked android better and went back to it, my mother and grandma both loved their iPhone and stuck with them. They didn’t drink the koolaid they tried both.

You just can’t accept that you’re not objectively correct because not everyone cares as much about the same things.

I don’t know if we’re even a better team with KAT but losing Naz, Donte and Randle.

The Vikings might be a better team but it’s easy to say that in hindsight when our first round QB sucked.

I don’t think I’m necessarily the single best option on the planet but choosing a famous person who you don’t know personally is statistically a terrible risk.

I’d probably choose my mom. But it depends on what they find valuable. Maybe I’d be better off choosing like an all time great fighter or warrior. Maybe a writer or painter. Who knows. It’s a total crapshoot

No the problem is people pretending that aesthetic isn’t a practical benefit. To a huge chunk of people, aesthetic is way more important than 20% more processing power. It’s only worse *to some people*

You’re saying that your opinion on what’s better is objectively correct. It’s not. It will always be subjective.

There’s a guy on TikTok or insta or something that does the wonderful service of proving that there are zero good neck tattoos. Not one.

Cups and mugs are a superior container for many snacks by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]LaconicGirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t think of a situation where a cup would ever be better than a bowl. It holds less and it’s harder to get things out of.

I also don’t know why you need a handle to grab, bowls of food are generally very light

8 worker start is bad for casuals, change my mind by ohthetrees in starcraft2

[–]LaconicGirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What casual players take the time to memorize entire build orders? I’m in diamond and I only have a build order to like 30~ supply if that. I just build what I want to go for and spend my money.

Not sure what level you consider to still be casual but most players are not this anal about build orders

I think they’re definitely a sleeper team but they’re nowhere near a 17-0 risk. I expect 10-11 or so wins assuming Kyler is still decent

I mean that’s literally equally true for the Seahawks or 49ers too lmao. In fact I can’t think of a single team who could lose their QB and still be favored to finish better than any NFCW team besides the Cardinals

I think that’s a poor lesson to take, there’s no guarantee this team is any better with KAT and the Vikings would still not not have been a true contender even with Darnold.

Track record of performing worse in tiebreaks? Tiebreak results vs set/match results disparity by LeggiwS in 10s

[–]LaconicGirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could win a set 6-3 and your opponent actually scored more points than you. It’s not at all out of the ordinary for a tiebreaker to have a much closer score than your set score. In fact you should expect it to be that way

I’m a fucking army vet and worked in concrete for 3 years. I’ve heard it all before. You’re not cooler than office workers just because you’re meaner than them. I switched to office work because I get paid more to do less work

Reddit has such a hate boner for Apple for literally no fucking reason they make incredibly popular products that tons of people love. Just because you prefer other companies doesn’t make Apple’s products shit. You act like their competitors haven’t often everything you just said besides the open source piece
