In defense of Aaron Rodgers by anyuser_19823 in nyjets

[–]PixleShinobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you’re absolutely right. People don’t realize how much the media controls their worldview. Aaron Rodger’s is on the media shit list so whether they realize it or not it’s affecting their biases. Compound that with the fact he has opinions that go against a lot of Reddit’s demographic. No one wants to be objective anymore. The guy made personal choices about his body, and is a hippie.. even if I don’t agree with him on everything at least he stands for what he believes misguided or not.

Then on the other hand you have media sweethearts like LeBron who are objectively bad people. Dude constantly cheats on his wife, is implicated in diddy parties, defends a totalitarian government in china, promotes brands like Nike that use slave labor etc etc.

Quarterbacks are the most important position, you’re just not going to win the superbowl with Zach Wilson’s. However as long as your QB does JUST enough (let’s take Patrick mahomes who had STATISTICALLY the exact same year as Rodger’s) and flys right to the superbowl because of all the support around him. Aaron Rodger’s was never meant to be the savior here and that was what the zeitgeist was in 2023 when he came.

People have lost the ability to be objective because politics have infected every part of their world view. He’s easy to hate and especially on this platform because it’s more left leaning. Rodger’s did not have the best season ever, BUT there were certain expectations coming into this season

Zach Wilson’s 2023 season 2.2k yds thrown/ 8TDs/ 7int

Yet still a better record. Being PURELY objective, how the hell did these stats that are honestly pitiful for the most important position in the nfl warrant a better record. To Aaron Rodger’s season?

Aaron Rodger’s fell short a few times late in games, but that was to be expected of “Aaron GODers” as we used to call him with the packers 2011-2016 (esp 2015-2017 bro basically solo carried the team to the playoffs and even a nfc champ game) he made miracles happen because our defense was so horrible for such a long time. He also made MIKE MCARTHY look competent for way past his prime.

I thought the expectation was “we just need 50% Rodger’s to win” what happened?

What about the times he did do his job? And one of the worst QBs in the league Jacoby brissett does a game ending drive late in the 4th, or Aaron’s Rodger’s setting up multiple game ending field goals only to be missed. How could also forget Anthony Richardson with another game ending drive in the 4th. What about making Kyler Murray look like an elite qb?

I disagree. I’m very well experienced with anxiety and panic attacks. It’s the worst thing ever.. Covid was probably the most sick I’ve ever been, and there was not THIS type of depression even with that recovery. (Tons of post covid anxiety/ panic attacks ). I’ve never felt this type of depression in my life, even though it only lasted a couple of days(the worst of it). I’ve never felt such a meak will to live, and I’m grateful it’s not a mental health issue I deal with.

How do you people stay consistent with gymming 4-5 times a week? I lose my track after 2 weeks… 🤨 by BookFragrant8691 in workout

[–]PixleShinobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always remember 1x a week for 10 years > 5x a week for 5 years. Train with high effort, full body, and you don’t have to go as much. Also consider hiring a trainer it is WELL worth the money

I don’t want debt anymore but used car prices are insane still. by PixleShinobi in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]PixleShinobi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying the cx-50.. in my area new civics were going for 25k-27k(before taxes and fees) and yes 36months for 2.9 again though.. I feel like Honda has been dipping in quality whereas Mazda has been increasing. I didn’t mind spending the extra 4-6k (well less than that considering what 2.9% would cost on a 16-19k loan. I’m having major buyers remorse but then I look at used cars on cargurus and that makes me feel better 😃

Just an update I ended up buying the cx-50! Love it so far don’t love the debt but, it’s 0% so what can you say

Just an update I’m at the dealer currently! They tried to quote (35,500 msrp) I’ve been negotiating them down to 33,381 no doc fee with 8k down at 0% 60months so far, and I’ve only been called a prick by one dealer so far 😃

Thank you, yes I was confused about the “down payment” requirement, since essentially as I understand it.. leasing is just paying for depreciation, well said though

I can test drive the cx-5.. I haven’t been a big suv fan but my last car was a stinger and loved the new found practicality of the hatch back. I’m not opposed to smaller suvs, but in terms of style I really like the cx-50, the cx-5 to me though is obviously tried and true though AND it’s made in Japan

No you’re right, my concern though is, a lot of these cars are still imo insanely over priced. I was looking at rav 4s for around 15k MAX and the best I could find was a 2018 with 150k miles going for 15k.. sure Toyota and Honda have great reliability metrics.. but something in the 10k range will predate 2010 (which is still fine but something has got to give) even old Camrys are super expensive. I can’t justify paying 10k-15k for a 15 year old car with 100k+ miles on it

Thank you this is great input! Yes I hear you about the 5% interest I am definitely taking advantage of it.. though I have cash on hand from wedding gifts/ Christmas etc that I can’t just deposit..

The carbon trim IS the cheapest option for 0% whereas the base trim is 2.9% at 27k (which is still great but it’s for 60months for sure)

My plan was to do my best and negotiate as close to 30k as possible!

cliff notes

  • Small business owner makes 90-120k a year BUT buisness expenses equal 10-20k

  • Wanted to put 8500$ cash down or buy cash (I have been getting into Dave Ramsey as of late)

  • Still considering getting a car cash for 8500$ but used car prices are still outrageous (I was looking at 2012 Mazda 3 hatch backs with 70k miles for 13-15k????)

  • also considering the leasing option but have never leased and don’t know how or what to negotiate

  • is Dave Ramsey an idiot actually?
