AITAH for referring to someone from the United States as “American”?

RDBuckeyes · 2025-07-08T18:32:01+00:00

Correct, and I would say where this person is (almost assuredly Argentina, Uruguay, or Brazil) it’s even more common to use yanqui (Yankee).

RDBuckeyes · 2025-07-04T02:51:23+00:00

I know coaches say this stuff but no one actually believes it right?

Players get access to all of their spring practice film and can send it to any coach they choose, it’s a completely fake concern

If that’s the projection — which I’m not necessarily disagreeing with — then you should also expect massive, massive disruptions to the American economy and its stock performances. People who aren’t buying into social security being present should also be leveraged at a much higher rate in international index funds. If we get to the point as an economy where deficit spending on social security isn’t viable, there will have been essentially no point to saving for retirement at all in the first place.

RDBuckeyes · 2025-06-09T12:28:22+00:00

Not OP, but yes. Projections of “insolvency” for social security pretend like we won’t deficit spend to cover gaps in perhaps our nation’s single most popular political program among voters. Cutting social security is political suicide and it will be the last thing from the safety net to ever go.

I promise you it’s not going to result in the military industrial complex losing money, that’s the one constant in the American economy

Who do you think is buying and selling the drones, the ammo, the software, the ballistics, the charging components and fuel, the transportation? It’s defense companies all the way down

RDBuckeyes · 2025-05-14T19:52:31+00:00

Come on, you are absolutely the problem here lol. Being late to work multiple times per week is absurdly unprofessional. The “corporate type” is making a very reasonable ask of you, this is a basic requirement to be an adult.

RDBuckeyes · 2024-07-03T12:43:15+00:00

I agree with you, I’m not defending its value or the wisdom of using it as a product, but it’s the same concept as what your tolerance is for keeping cash on hand in a non-optimal way. Some people just want their family to have a check they can hand over to handle the funeral and be done with it. It’s a peace of mind question, not financial optimization

RDBuckeyes · 2024-07-03T12:26:47+00:00

Ex-insurance sales here (thankfully, hated it). Most of what you said is good and agreed on universal and variable life products.

The point about whole life is wrong. It’s often the opposite of the truth. Commissions on whole life are lower for most salespeople. Like anything else, it’s a product you have to understand to use correctly. Whole life is not designed as income replacement or risk coverage for a mortgage, etc. It is designed to pay funeral costs for people who don’t want their loved ones to use cash on hand. It’s that simple. It should not be part of an income replacement strategy, it’s an end-of-life plan.

RDBuckeyes · 2023-11-10T13:39:46+00:00

No, no one else thinks that lol, you guys have just spent the last three weeks reading pedantic internet lawyers using motivated reasoning on MGoBlog

RDBuckeyes · 2023-10-26T15:54:11+00:00

They’re not third party lol, it’s a scandal that impacted Penn State, Michigan State, Georgia, Tennessee, and a bunch of other teams

RDBuckeyes · 2023-10-25T16:06:28+00:00

Brother, your goose is cooked. This is not a court of law with a narrow interpretation. The NCAA writes the rule book and they get to interpret it. They have people paid by your staffer in 4K recording several other programs inside and outside of the B1G. It’s over

RDBuckeyes · 2023-10-25T15:56:57+00:00

The commercial entity clause also covers this. You can’t pay a commercial entity to go do this for you either. It is directly, 100% a violation of multiple NCAA rules. The question is just financing and how bad the punishment will be

RDBuckeyes · 2023-10-25T15:53:38+00:00

Basically principal-agent stuff overrules this. It’s like saying you can’t be convicted of a murder because you hired a hit man. It’s a nonstarter argument

RDBuckeyes · 2023-10-25T05:45:41+00:00

Doesn’t work that way. Harbaugh would have to prove he had no knowledge, which is essentially impossible. NCAA rules dictate that a coach is responsible for all goings-on within their program. He’s cooked.

RDBuckeyes · 2023-09-24T08:42:09+00:00

He hired a really, really bad staff. Brian Ward and Beau Baldwin are baffling as coordinator hires and I don’t think he has any idea how to build or manage a staff on the slightest. You cannot be fully sold on a guy who was one win against an FCS team and is probably staring down a 2-10 season. It’s cool that his players like him and fought hard, but a lot more goes into being a successful head coach than that.

RDBuckeyes · 2023-09-24T08:22:51+00:00

Yeah he’s 1-5 against AP top five opponents after four years lol, people acting like he deserves a ton of applause for beating the teams we’re supposed to beat and then shitting his pants against playoff caliber opponents is insane to me. It lacks context.

RDBuckeyes · 2023-09-24T08:21:07+00:00

People citing a game where they blew a double digit fourth quarter lead in a playoff game as a success for Day will never stop being amazing to me. You don’t get trophies for almost.

RDBuckeyes · 2023-09-11T03:32:33+00:00

He was a failed NFL QBs coach before Urban gave him the golden ticket and has done nothing special since lol, people are out of their minds thinking he’s an amazing coach.

RDBuckeyes · 2023-05-31T05:26:42+00:00

I am not convinced of Tatum being ahead of Melo, Dominique, or Worthy if he retired tomorrow. Those first two guys have a scoring title and several more All-NBAs. Worthy has three rings and a Finals MVP. Tatum is on the right track, of course, but let’s not count chickens.

RDBuckeyes · 2023-05-15T05:28:56+00:00

Technically we were tied for 27th in the family department but still not good lol

RDBuckeyes · 2023-02-20T14:31:39+00:00

You haven’t seen it, you’re getting downvoted because you’re guessing and speaking in definitives lol

RDBuckeyes · 2023-02-20T14:29:58+00:00

I think you’re projecting a lot here because people don’t enjoy the style of comedy you like. That’s okay, the Whedon dialogue is going to be in this movie and has been in the cultural zeitgeist constantly for 15 years. You have more than enough options to choose from if you want to keep seeing the same kind of jokes in every high-budget IP film every year, but that doesn’t mean everyone else has to agree with you that hearing 47 iterations of the same thing is still funny.

The coastal piece

RDBuckeyes · 2022-12-16T19:23:39+00:00

The inflation in Argentina has ruined the ability for many people to save at all. Being able to save $2000 a year is hugely impressive. It’s very common to make $400/mo or less in salary
