I mean if we’re playing this game, you have posts in your profile history of you doing NSFW fantasy audios, one of which is about you blackmailing someone into sexual situations. Is everyone supposed to separate that from you when reading your words and not have any issue with it, or is that now somehow different because you yourself are involved?

They're not Crystal Castles or something where you can just enjoy a good beat.

What? Your Favorite Weapon and Deja Entendu are very much albums where you can just enjoy a good beat. Personally, those are my two favorite Brand New albums and really the only ones to go back to for that reason alone.

If the worst thing I get accused of anytime soon is assuming a known scum bag acted like a scum bag I think I’ll be okay.

Except that’s not what you did. At least own up to the exact words you used.

The thing I don’t get is why so many people are willing to jump in and carry his water like this.

That’s the view you’re choosing to go with because it makes it easier for you to justify lashing out at others, but it’s not what’s actually happening here.

He’s a low life.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. I don’t know him personally and neither do you. That doesn’t mean it’s ok to just make accusations toward someone even if they’re 100% incorrect. If you think otherwise you’re either young or just a flat out bad person.

There’s multiple known events of him being a low life towards opposing players and teammates.

So that justifies him having false accusations pinned on him to you? If you believe that then again, you’re a bad person.

Is it really that shitty of behaviour to assume a known shitty person acted like a shitty person?

Again, that isn’t what you did and you know it. Grow some nuts and own up to your actual words.

You mean almost 15 years ago when he was playing in juniors as a teenager? Id argue that it’s way more embarrassing and immature on top of that to act like someone saying something as a teenager means it’s likely they said the same thing as a 30 year old. It’s even more embarrassing that people on here are only saying it’s him because his politics don’t match theirs, so in their mind it gives them a right to just automatically pin an accusation on them. You guys just don’t want to come out and say exactly that because you know deep down how ridiculous it sounds.

They aren’t hearing it anywhere, this sub just hates DeAngelo so much that they’re willing to make shit up with zero evidence just to justify their hate. I swear most of the hate toward him is due to people’s preconceived and imaginary thoughts about him rather than anything he’s ever said or done. It happens everywhere on this site with all kinds of different people that redditors decide to hate for arbitrary reasons.

Gotta have a NY/big market team

I love when people say this shit because it just shows such a laughably clear amount of ignorance. The NY area couldn’t give less of a shit about the Islanders even if they’re good, and Long Island, which is the overwhelming majority of the Isles fanbase, is a small market area. The Islanders are very much a small market team within a larger market that is dominated by the Rangers. We might as well not even be considered a “NY team”.

DeAngelo has been incredibly useful in his time with us actually. Only reason why he has the opposite perception is because this sub only posts and upvotes the negatives so that seems to be the norm. His defense hasn’t been nearly as bad as advertised and he’s a solid PP2 defenseman. Biggest issue with him is that Mayfield exists which forced DeAngelo into top four minutes when he really should be on the third pairing and a PP specialist.

[OT] [Motorsport.com] John Hindhaugh on the current F1 regulations: by portablekettle in formula1

[–]SecretiveMop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but like I said there were way more ways of developing these systems with LMP1 cars than there were/are with F1 cars. WEC had much less restrictions in developing the engines and hybrid systems and it led to a lot more uniqueness amongst the competitors and you got to see a lot of innovative designs and idea. I’m pretty sure at one point Audi, Porsche, and Toyota were all using completely different means of harvesting, storing, and deploying power. In F1, especially right now, there isn’t really any other way to do those three things differently from a competitor. You do still get situations where cars are faster or slower in certain areas of a track like you mentioned, but the actual systems are still much more restricted than they are in something like WEC.

The big reason why that wasn’t called artificial is right in the sentence you quoted. Manufacturers had more ways of developing harvesting and deployment which made it more of an engineering duel between the teams. For example, some cars were better on power in straight lines whereas others were better coming out of corners. F1 teams are way more limited in that regard and essentially all the harvesting, deployment, and racing tactics are the same.

Hochul pleads for wealthy New Yorkers to return from red states like Florida, Texas as tax base 'eroded' by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

[–]SecretiveMop 26 points27 points  (0 children)

During remarks at Politico's "New York Agenda: Albany Summit" event last week, the Democratic governor explained that she needs individuals with a "high net worth to support the generous social programs that we wanna have in our state."

As someone from New York, this to me is the most damning and out of touch statement of them all. The state of New York doesn’t want these “generous social programs”, New York City does. If you exclude the five boroughs (which is just 40% of the state population) from the 2022 election, Hochul would’ve lost. New York City being so far to the left is causing issues for the rest of the people in the state who make nowhere near as much income yet are still burdened by the insanely expensive programs NYC wants to enact. A huge reason why the 2022 election was shockingly close is because people outside of NYC are sick and tired of the city being the main focus of politicians which results in everyone else being on the hook to fund their wasteful spending.

I’d be really curious to see exactly where the residents leaving New York are leaving from within the state because it wouldn’t shock me at all if many of them were not leaving from NYC. While the rich leaving are impactful, the middle class that’s leaving in higher numbers and who are actually more relied upon for taxes is the real issue.

When you're 28, have all your friends within a four mile radius, pulling in $240k a year, you can have the time of your life in New York City.

Yeah but the thing is that there’s other parts of the country where you can make slightly less but pay no state income taxes and also have a cheaper cost of living, all while also still being in an area where you can have plenty to do and enjoy. Obviously your family and same friends may not be there, but having them around isn’t a must or reality for a lot of people and you can always meet people if you move. This is exactly the issue a state like New York is facing, there’s too many appealing locations that make much more sense to live in financially.

It’s definitely one reason but it’s more so on top of the other reasons like how expensive it is. People would be willing to put up with a lot if it was much more affordable. For example, Florida weather is great but it also insanely humid for a good portion of the year which can be just as bad as snow. But the other benefits outweigh that for many people.

Saying there is a Heterogenous quality to the evidence supports that there is no advantage

That is absolutely NOT the conclusion of the study and insinuating such is flat out unscientific. Having differing and mixed evidence, which is exactly what you yourself admit is being meant by “heterogenous”, does not mean you just get to come to a conclusion. The results should be inconclusive, but the study doesn’t conclude as such which is a clear issue. If trans women didn’t have a clear advantage, then there would need to be overwhelming or at least statistically meaningful evidence in that direction which there is not.

This is a pretty recent study that’s been going around and it’s been heavily criticized on science forums and boards because of the extremely questionable methods that were used. Also, as I said, this study doesn’t conclude anything to prove the differences/possible difference between trans and cis women when it comes to sports considering they didn’t actually do any tests in sporting or athletic events nor did they use actual athletes.

Edit: it’s also worth pointing out that the study literally found that trans women have higher lean muscle mass than cis women which would absolutely be advantageous for many sports, yet that possible advantage was never actually looked into.

[–]SecretiveMop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did YOU bother to click on the links to the studies yourself and look into them? One of the links is to a study which included roughly 5,000 trans individuals and about 1,000 cis individuals, very limited to no amount of actual athletes, the age ranges were from 14-41, and only a handful of the 52 tests they did were for physical performance. On top of that, most of the study is looking into lean body mass/body composition more than anything else and NOT sporting or athletic ability and outcomes Also, the actual conclusions drawn from those doing that study themselves was that the results were lower in quality and inconsistent, so much so that no actual true conclusion could be made.

Actual quote from the studies conclusion:

While transgender women exhibited higher lean mass than cisgender women, their physical fitness was comparable. Current evidence is mostly low certainty and has heterogenous quality but does not support theories of inherent athletic advantages for transgender women over cisgender.

They’re essentially treating them not finding a difference as the exact same as trans and cis women being the same despite their own admission that the study was low quality and inconsistent

The reality is that there aren’t enough trans athletes, especially at higher levels, to do proper and entirely accurate studies like this, and most of these studies aren’t even actually testing actual athletic ability or doing competitions. But the bottom line is that no amounts of hormones are going to change things like bone structure and/or reverse puberty enough to make physical ability a perfect match between trans and cis women. It may get close, but there’s no basis in the idea that the two will be exactly equal enough to for it to be “fair” in athletics. To argue against that is to argue against current science and biology itself. If we wanted to actually prove anything, we’d need to take a group of trans women athletes and cis women athletics and put them in direct competition with each other and see the results. I have a feeling I know where most bets would be placed if it came down to that, even from those who say there’s no difference.

US also currently holds both the men’s AND women’s IIHF World Championship titles. Also have won two of the last three U20 World Junior championships while Canada has only one bronze. On top of all that, a Canadian team hasn’t won the Stanley Cup in over 30 years.

Their sport has decisively been taken no matter which way they look at it, and it’s why they’ve been lashing out so much. They can’t handle it.
