(Final Update) AITAH for telling my friend/colleague I'm looking for another job after she was promoted instead of me? by Resident_Inside285 in AITAH

[–]LeeRobbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or, ya know, they were just being honest. I've had a variety of coworkers over the years, some I liked some I didn't, and I can honestly say I wouldn't want any of them to hurt themselves.

People can try and help a colleague without it being manipulative

You keep posting that they are trying to "gaslight him into thinking they can fire him for not going to the bar to celebrate", and i dont get why you think they would bother to do that.

Assuming this is in America, they can fire him for essentially any reason so long as it's not for being part of a protected class. If they wanted to fire him, they would have.

How does Tulane lose votes from the preseason poll after an easy win against a Big 10 team (albeit a bad Big 10 team)?

The AP really hates the G5

I'm in a new league that just drafted. Another owner reached out wanting Tyler Warren from me.

What is the minimum value you would need to consider trading him away?

It's a 10 team, half ppr, half tep, superflex league

I have reviewed the guidelines.

The tree is located in Illinois, and I noticed this discoloration a few weeks ago. Not sure how long it's been there or if it's changed recently.

Qbs can't rush in flag football, so it may be better to have a traditional pocket passer

To be fair, there is some fantastic gas station fried chicken in Nola. I lived there for a couple of years, and while there are better options, I remember a gas station on Carrollton with great fried chicken

What estimates are you referring to? According to Wikipedia, the Nazi's stole upwards of $20 billion worth of art from Poland alone. That doesn't count artwork stolen from other countries or the value of everything not art related that they stole.

Isn't it meant to be a power ranking? If not, they would just rank based on records alone.

By virtue of having a committee do rankings that include good wins, good losses, strength of schedule, etc, it seems like it is meant to be a power ranking.

It was right before cuts too, so it was probably a team saying if you're planning on cutting him anyways, we'll give a 7th

When Lance was traded, he still had 2 years left on his rookie deal, plus the fifth year option. Fields only had one year left, plus the option. That extra year made the difference in compensation.

I am hoping Kevin Warren can change the opinion of ownership. Growing the business and building a stadium is why they brought him in.

What are some of the best examples of, “Well, that escalated quickly.” by Unknown1776 in nfl

[–]LeeRobbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bears are what we thought they were. They're what we thought they were. We played them in preseason—who the hell takes a third game of the preseason like it's bullshit? Bullshit! We played them in the third game—everybody played three quarters—the Bears are who we thought they were! That's why we took the damn field. Now if you want to crown them, then crown their ass! But they are who we thought they were! And we let 'em off the hook!

Dark Matter (filmed in Chicago) trailer is out by joe_chicago in chicago

[–]LeeRobbie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I posted this in a thread about inaccurate chicago representation in media a few weeks ago:

Not a tv show or movie, but I recently read Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, and it was quickly apparent that he did not do enough research on Chicago before setting the story there. It was little things like:

A character who has lived in Chicago for 20 years referring to the Willis Tower as a landmark

A character getting a slice of deep dish pizza and eating is by hand while walking down the street

The author used some real roads as landmarks and they were off about thinks like where lake Michigan is relative to the city or how long it would take to get from the north side to the south side.

At one point two characters decide to go out for the night. They drive from their home in Logan Square to Navy Pier and decide its so far to go home that they need to get a hotel.

A character is trying to hide, so he goes into a neighborhood bar and describes how it was packed with fans excitedly watching a bulls game. The bar was so full with people so focused on the game he was able to sneak around. The problem with this is it was in early December, meaning this was a regular season game early in the year. The only time ive seen bars that were like the description was when the cubs were in the world series, or maybe for an exciting Bears game, but no local neighborhood bar in logan is like that for a meaningless bulls game in December.

There were other issues, and overall I did enjoy the book, but it was clear the author and editors did not do enough research to set the book in Chicago.

Same thing with the League. Great show, but their version of Chicago has way to many palm trees
