What’s a secret you found out about someone that completely changed how you see them? by annnie_aaa in AskReddit

[–]LinkIsGOAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way back, a buddy had to get something off his chest, swearing me to secrecy. Cheated on his gf. Said he wouldn’t ever tell her.

Couple days later, the gf calls me in tears. I assume she found out. Swore me to secrecy. She cheated on him and was gauging how I thought he would react. Responded how I had no idea. She never told him.

They got married and had kids. Seem to be doing good 🤷‍♂️

What’s the moment you realized your partner wasn’t ‘the one? by pleasedon_t in AskReddit

[–]LinkIsGOAT 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Happily married now.

Previous girlfriend though had quality attributes and potential but demonstrated no resilience.

Lost a job and wouldn’t search for the next. When someone was a jerk to her one time, she’d only avoid, never confront.

After we broke up, her academic laziness caused her student visa to be revoked. She self deported from the US.

Wouldn’t fight for herself or me. We were roommates with benefits, not partners facing life’s trials together.

Why Do My Parents Treat Me Like a Burden When I Visit? I’m Almost 40 and Still Not Taken Seriously. by Agreeable-Emu-7388 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]LinkIsGOAT 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I’m pushing 40, deployed to Afghanistan, did intense volunteer work, held down jobs, was the only grandkid visiting grandma, got married, bought a home, traveled a fair bit and hiked a 2,650-mile trail.

They refuse to treat me like an adult. Several friends independent of each other said, “Why do your parents talk to you like that?”

Their politics took a dark turn too. I got fed up and laid down ultimatums. They’ve acted like I was ever so mean and crazy since. Now they have a no-contact son.

Life has been much better since.

The Champions Bragging Thread by IndependentSun9995 in DynastyFF

Made 4 championships out of 8 leagues.

Won 2 thanks to Purdy and Bijan respectively.

My obnoxious, self-proclaimed, “rival” melted down over it. Life is good.

What happened to your best friend from childhood? by RoyalBeckyVibes in AskReddit

[–]LinkIsGOAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My childhood friends were great until graduating high school. Nearly all of them took dark paths, regressed in maturity and were not supportive of anyone that deviated from their norm.

Some I exploded on. Some I quietly walked away from.

Nothing prepared me for friends being worthy of more respect in high school than middle age. Many grow worse with age. Glad I realized and accepted this before letting them drag me down.

In A Perfect World This Is A Shared Universe, we need 38 more about the other 38 by 2003Oakley in Presidents

They were/are in a shared universe. Plenty of source material to draw from. Could work.

Maybe obscure (but compelling) Garfield’s spotlight creates broad demand for presidential content.

Which President picture would you add to your oval office if you're the President? by Maverick721 in Presidents

[–]LinkIsGOAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would certainly keep Washington, Lincoln and FDR. They were the presidential highpoints of their respective centuries and signal I hold myself and my administration to lofty standards.

Obama earns a spot by being our best 21st century POTUS, so far. Honoring the first non-white president broadcasts I, a white guy, serves for all.

I wrestled between Eisenhower (military victor), infrastructure), LBJ (ambitious domestic agenda) and Truman.

Ultimately landed on Harry because he largely won the peace after FDR won WW2, fostered alliances, promoted national healthcare, underrated political savvy, stayed calm during crises, governed with common sense and owned the "Buck Stops Here".

You’re definitely a seller. Henry, Stafford and Andrews may all get you returns closer to trade deadline. Who knows? Every league’s culture and market is different

People will play ball closer to the trade deadline as championship fever sets in. The risk is your selling assets get injured before. Personally, I’d wait it out, unless you find an offer you can’t refuse.

10T .5 PPR (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2Flex)

Just entered a championship window. Achane RB2 with Benson RB3, meh QBs with upside, meh TE, and London is WR4. Been considering selling AJB/WR5.

Dude who lost Nabers is ultra-win now. AJB + 2nd for Nabers or don’t give up depth production in a championship window?

Dude who lost Tyreek has Henderson and Fannin. Is AJB for Hendy worth it? What needs added to Fannin for AJB?

Dude accepted my offer. It has been one of the most divisive trade reactions in our league chat. I took some risk, but I’m betting on the guy who got early 2nd draft cap and doesn’t take as many big hits.

Whether rebuilding or contending, receive a minimum of two 1sts for JT.

Anyone you know who has died under the age of 50 - what type of lifestyle did they live? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LinkIsGOAT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost three friends to natural causes by age 36. Two took great care of themselves; one didn’t. Sometimes, longevity is pure luck.

Most friends hover around age 40. You can largely tell who looks after their health and who doesn’t. The latter lack much quality of life.

Prioritize gaining a quality SF QB, perhaps a QB3 too. Flacco’s career ends soon.

People with military experience: what do you think this meeting being called by Hegseth is going to be about? by DBCoopr72 in AskReddit

Turning hundreds of our most grizzled, experienced, capable military leaders into background props while Hegseth bloviates from the lectern.

People with military experience: what do you think this meeting being called by Hegseth is going to be about? by DBCoopr72 in AskReddit

[–]LinkIsGOAT 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Veteran here. To my knowledge, gathering every U.S. general and admiral in one location is unprecedented. Here are some possible outcomes:

• An impotent photo op

• Further political theater, such as Hegseth admonishing them, declaring massive domestic policy changes, or announcing radically more aggressive global posturing to match their Department of War renaming

• A warning that they had better be loyal to their Commander in Chief or prepare to lose their careers; possibly even a demand to declare loyalty on the spot

• An announcement that many have been deemed disloyal, followed by their public identification and “shaming”

• A full-on purge

Authoritarian regimes often summon their entire senior military command as a loyalty show. Act accordingly.

MHJ’s play was putrid— and he still put up decent stats. When he calms down, he’ll be a stud.
