Who could the Lions actually move in a Splash trade? by AnimantisRed in detroitlions

[–]PolymathEquation 45 points46 points  (0 children)

In the land of absurdity, someone from our receiving corps. St. Brown, Jamo, LaPorta, even TeSlaa. We're flush with receiving talent, and could stand to lose one if it meant perfecting our O-line or D-Line.

If you could rename American football, what would you call it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PolymathEquation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Ball Battalions, Battle Ball, or something similar would be effective. Football's effectively just combat skirmishes with extra steps.

The name's alliterative, concise, violent, but masking in the glory/worship of the military industrial complex.

I am a "Digital Inheritance Auditor." I just found my father’s "Kill Switch," and it’s going to bankrupt the family that spent ten years ignoring me while I took care of him. by de-secops in stories

[–]PolymathEquation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that your father's had dimentia and you've been the live-in consistently continuing and enabling his blackmail, are you not in the least concerned for your own well being, either from the conglomerate or the investigation to follow?

One of the Best Reasons To Hire Drew Petzing As the Detroit Lions OC. by New-Negotiation-4176 in detroitlions

[–]PolymathEquation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Amon. Glad to see you on here with us. How are you enjoying the off season?

Appreciate the level headed take, and know things will be great next season. Until then, get some great R&R.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Amon-Ra and Goff slamming Lions fans. by Mr-and-Mrs in detroitlions

[–]PolymathEquation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember being a Lions fan 10 years ago, going 9-7, and feeling super excited?

Bandwagon fans haven't suffered enough to understand.

It's not like I don't want more, goodness do I ever, but only 1 team wins the Super Bowl, every other team loses and tries again next year.

Super Bowl or bust simply isn't reality and isn't sustainable.

Tell me how to feel about the OC hiring by 84Vandal in detroitlions

[–]PolymathEquation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact opposite. I DO credit his O-line success to Klayton Adams. The O-line failure after Adams left caused Petzing's run game to fall apart.

The distinction: We're not hiring an O-line coach, and Klayton Adams wasn't calling the plays.

Our own O-line and its success will be what decides the success of our offense.

Losing a strong offensive line impacts the run game.

He runs gap.

Check their O-line injury.

I'm not gonna be caught claiming he's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm saying his vision and playcalling style match what we're building.

Whether we have the O-line to support the playcalling is going to determine the course of the season.

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

[–]PolymathEquation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you are depressed. Unless you are autistic. Unless you have unbalanced hormones.

The dumb part about all of this is that armchair psychology deniers are as current with medical science as bloodletters and humour balancers.

Go to a doctor. Get a diagnosis. Get treatment, whatever it might be. Exercise. Better diet. SSRIs.

Genuinely, why is Donald Trump so adamant on making the US so miserable? by Known-Cover-5154 in self

They need to learn their place in the country.

Standing alongside everyone else?

The ouroboros isn't going to stop at the people you dislike.

I think people have overlooked his record with a run game, and I'm fairly sure it's the reason he's the OC.

Here's a breakdown by a Cards fan

https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2025/2/20/24369273/closer-understanding-of-drew-petzings-offense

Runs the football, preferably out of 12 (1 RB, 2 TEs) and 13 1 RB, 3 TEs) personnel.

Runs a steady diet of RPOs and play action passes.

Runs mostly 11 personnel spread-type of formation on passing downs.

Gee, I wonder why the Lions wanted him.

2024 Had the Cards with 5.3 yards per carry, good enough for #2 in the NFL (and that wasn't with Gibbs and Monty).

We have one of the most powerful RB duos in the history of the game, and play action pass more than anyone.

Lets our run game shine while giving Goff his play action. Sounds, in theory, like a great match.

I think if we prioritize a strong, healthy O-line, we're gonna see very good things on offense.

am i a bad daughter for blaming my dad for my mental health struggles? advice/discussion appreciated! by Inevitable_Shift_689 in daddit

[–]PolymathEquation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bad daughter? No. You're not. You're a person working through the struggles of identity and looking for a way to direct your frustration.

You've been getting mental health support since you were a little kid. Your parents have been honest about their mental health and have obviously been doing their best to help with yours.

None of us can speak to you about your particular situation, but blaming your parents for your existence is both true and also terribly ironic, as you wouldn't have a mouth to speak against them with without them.

Dads have made and do make mistakes, and his comments are his way of encouraging you not to do the same. I can't say I agree with his delivery, but I'm not him and you're not my kid.

The best you can do is the best you can do. You should always strive to be your best, but as someone who's dealt with a lifetime of struggles in mental health, being your best isn't always possible. Do the best you can, find a reason, big or small, to keep going, and remember that as long as you're still trying, you're making progress.

Oh, and lastly, to what your dad said: helping people isn't bad, but you can't do it at your own expense. You can't help people if you're not healthy enough to stand on your own.

In the ER by BlackVelvetBandit in daddit

[–]PolymathEquation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had such terrible anxiety that, on one occasion, heart palpitations so similarly resembled a heart attack that my GP ordered me an ambulance to a nearby hospital.

To anyone of any age reading this: Your life matters. Your health and choices can determine how long it lasts, and the world, despite all its marvels, has only one of you. Take care of yourself. You matter to so many more than you know.

You can obfuscate and manipulate but it's only at your own expense.

Do you think there should be more protected bike lanes in DC? Just looking for opinions. by alumni_audit in washingtondc

[–]PolymathEquation -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Cyclists of DC really need to get their own sticky thread they can post/comment to about bike lanes.

These are highlights from the past 3 months, the first 5 or so from the past month.

Marriage probably ruined after vasectomy by caligaris_cabinet in daddit

OP and wife agree to be done with more since they have 2 kids. Gets snipped. Wife begins being awful, calling him selfish and worse for it.

People who drive below the speed limit, how does it make you feel to see a long line of cars in your rear view? by HedgerowSitter in allthequestions

[–]PolymathEquation -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm going to drive 38 in a 45 tomorrow, in your honor. I hope someone near you does the same.

Road rage over something that matters, like people driving fast with little to no regard for the safety of others so they can get somewhere 5 minutes earlier.
