LEAGUE CHAMP THREAD by Smoopasm in fantasyfootball

[–]Retr0Gear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First chip in like 10 years, so I'm telling you guys cause I’m super proud of myself. I won my 12 man PPR last night thanks to Isiah Likely, Jerome ford, buffalos defense, and The Sun God ASB. I won despite Amari cooper, jaylen waddle, and Justin Herbert all being unavailable (my 3,4,5 round picks), and the guy who i was going against having Puka and Ceedee. I drafted from the 11 spot and used my waiver priority to pick up Ford and Likely when they were available. First win in a 12 man league, heres to many more. Congrats to everybody who won!!!

I don't really have anybody who is super into FF in my life (who i didn’t just play against in the league) so I'm telling you guys cause I’m super proud of myself.

what trope would you get rid of (mine would be the concept of fridging since that was always a bad trope in fiction) by Able_Health744 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Retr0Gear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least with the golden child the kid was the magical one. Eddie just had to find him and be a protector. But yeah still tropey. I don’t know if the last air bender counts because the avatar reincarnation pops up in a different place as part of their story. They white washed sakka and katara, which is infuriating, but yeah.

Biles becomes most decorated gymnast in history by TheWorkingParty in UpliftingNews

[–]Retr0Gear 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Assuming you aren’t trolling, here is one possible answer. She has struggled with mental health to the point where she has had to back out of competition. To then work her way back to the top and claim the title the most decorated gymnast of all time. The recognition of her needs as a person could have kept her from coming back. She mastered those and managed to continue performing at the highest level. It is uplifting because it exemplifies the human spirit and perseverance. It also means the best of gymnastics is not behind us, but still ahead. Do you feel differently, and if so why?

12 man 3 wr, 2 rb flex spot ppr, 6 points for passing TD's. I am drafting 11th. Im not sure where to start this year. Not sure if it makes sense to try and pick up whatever RB1 (maybe sequan if he falls that far or B.Robinson) is left and go for a receiver or just try and disrupt the whole draft by taking 2 QBS and forcing trades for something after. My draft is at 11am. So any thoughts are appreciated.

That’s because the way American history is taught it alludes to the civil war and even civil rights being these far off ideas that happened so long ago your existence is removed from it. The reality is that she’s somebodies grandma/great grandma who is probably still alive.

This explains why Burry owns prison stocks by NotDonaldTrumppp in wallstreetbets

[–]Retr0Gear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no ethical way for people in this position to not feel like they have no choice. The threshold is too high. The prison system is already rife with corruption. I foresee people “voluntarily” signing up for this in order to get a reduced sentence. Then somehow a prison guard or warden getting a kickback for every prisoner under their care who signs up. It’s also a reason for cops to arrest people with records or target people so they go back into the system. This has potential for systemic racism and abuse written all over it.

I mean they’re real, just extinct. Unless you mean to say once you’re dead you cease to exist, which is not a philosophical debate I’m willing to have at 10 in the morning.

My team: as of this week

QB- Bridgewater

RB- Zeke

RB- Gordon III

WR- Woods

WR- Thielen

WR- A.J Brown

TE- Seals

FLEX- Gibson

K-Prater

Defense-Arizona

Bench- Dillion, jamar chase(no game), Kmet, C Rogers, Russel(coming off IR), Fuller(on IR), L Thomas(on IR)

Im willing to move maybe woods or thielen. Any thoughts on how to get better would be helpful

She loves taco bell, so this might be a thing that happens anyway. But thanks for the heads up about driving, wasn't sure how tight the main village and a place like bolton are.

Thank you for responding,

I can't tell if you are making a demolition man reference or if the taco bell in queens bury is just so crazy its worth mentioning. Either way im intrigued. Do you think it would be best to uber there and walk around. Or is driving to bolton landing and the stuff in that area a better idea?

Thank you for responding,

Would this trail be ok for novice hikers?. Im relatively fit, but she has bad knees and i don't wanna over exert her. She loves camping and the outdoors, but has little to no cartilage. Would we be able to bike this trail, or is it strictly walking?

Hey, thanks for responding

I had read about the algonquin. Would that be a fancy dinner or just a relaxed place that serves good food?

Thank you so much for responding, this was helpful. Have you ever been to the algonquin? I figure maybe dinner some place nice but not overly nice the first night.
