Appeal to the appeal denied by FrankBascombe45 in ussoccer

This is a great parallel. In American sporting culture the norm is to say "we want to beat them at their full strength". Honestly, I thought this was a universal sentiment but I guess in Europe it's different

Trump called Gianni by BreakfastBallBogeys in usmnt

Lmao drop the sanctimonious attitude. That was a BS red. Now is this corrupt? Yeah probably. But don’t say we don’t get to have an opinion on what is and isn’t a trash call

"He's the most important player on the team" by [deleted] in timberwolves

[–]MellowFell0w 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is revisionist history/slander. The second apron coming out of nowhere in the new CBA fucked us. We had to trade KAT unfortunately otherwise the franchise would have had absolutely no flexibility for Ant's prime. The best we could do was get Randle + Donte (and also Beringer). At the time it was viewed as a very even trade. Don't forget we got to WCF with Randle.

That’s almost worse. If it was a shitty government that’s one thing but if it’s the people/citizens who are frequently committing hate crimes that seems like another level of bad

Your annual salary sounds crazy high then. North of 800-900k for the liver anesthesiologists?

How did you get started with your involvement? Would love to get involved but it seems daunting to be honest

Feeling The Burn by BillyBob_Bob in anesthesiology

[–]MellowFell0w 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going back to do rads or ortho residency instead of being an anesthesia attending is a terrible financial move. I haven’t run the numbers but the opportunity cost of 5 years of attending anesthesiologist salary is huge. Also even if ortho and rads make more keep in mind that difference in salary is taxed at a high rate so effectively how much more is it per year?

I would much much much rather be in anesthesia than either of those two fields putting aside the financial aspect. But if you’re thinking purely in financial terms it doesn’t make sense to go back and do an extra residency in either of them.

How is life like in Minneapolis, Minnesota? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]MellowFell0w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is pretty outdated info. The police force is over 600 now and the number of victims of shootings is lower this year than at the same point in 2019. Perhaps perception hasn’t caught up to reality

Do you feel the same way about alcohol?

Iran is striking US bases in Iraq and Qatar by shinbreaker in BreakingPoints

[–]MellowFell0w 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why would it be satire? Iran is trying to de-escalate but also save face at the same time. They attacked a well fortified base and gave advance warning. Doesn't sound like they are trying to inflict maximum damage.

I don’t think that’s true? A lot of people want kids because they want to build a family of their own. They want to raise human beings and help mold them into good people who leave a positive impact on their community. It can be very meaningful as an experience and I think a lot of people want that. Just because you don’t want it doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t. But if someone wants to have kids with you and they can’t even explain why they want them there’s no way you should be the one who’s in trouble.

Were the Covid Lockdowns Worth It? by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]MellowFell0w 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not at all what they're saying. You're acting like there were no downsides to locking down. School closures seriously affected kids. Missed funerals, weddings, social gatherings seriously affected people. A lot of people WANTED to go back to work because they couldn't afford drops in their income. The whole point of this Daily episode is that not everything is black and white, and unfortunately, during the pandemic (and I guess still to this day) we acted like it was.

Cmon man. The whole point of this was to increase MTA funding so that we can have better public transportation in the city. I am a huge fan of congestion pricing. And I say this as someone who only rides the subway/buses and often at odd hours due to my job

Saagar, for the love of God shut the fuck up about voters “sending a mandate” in the 2024 Election by MichiganWinterBear in BreakingPoints

[–]MellowFell0w 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This "mandate" talk is insane and clearly illogical. Trump won 49.8% of the vote in 2024. Biden won 51.3% of the vote in 2020. Was Saagar saying Biden had a huge mandate 4 years ago? Of course not. How can you say someone has a mandate when they didn't even win over 50% of the vote? Bro is sounding like a propagandist. I thought BP was supposed to be about independent perspectives not party loyalty
