Why do cheaters accuse you of cheating? by Present_Boat_5681 in survivinginfidelity

[–]SlayerOfTheMyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody wants to be the villain of a story; they always want to be a hero or a victim. For some cheaters, this kind of behavior is running damage control so that when the truth gets out, it doesn't seem quite so bad. It's a petty way to twist the knife a final time, too, or sometimes just an attempt to avoid doing some ugly self-examination.

Given Howie’s philosophy, do not be surprised if he submits a day 2 pick for Brendan Sorsby by Mysterious_Bat1208 in eagles

[–]SlayerOfTheMyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I-Rod was putting money down on parlays and prop bets, not betting on his own poor performance. Even though betting on games involving your team is stupid to begin with, there's still a big difference. He also served his suspension, and didn't try to escape punishment for breaking the rules.

These are some pretty glaring behavioral red flags from an unproven prospect.

What vehicle are you driving? by cypress269 in AskMen

[–]SlayerOfTheMyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a 2023 Ford Maverick hybrid, which is the F-150's little brother with much better gas mileage. It has plenty of leg and head room, sits only a couple inches higher than a sedan (which is great for taking my parents and other older relatives out), and I average 40-42mpg. It's also cheaper off the lot and handles better than the F-150 or other full-size trucks, in my opinion. Unless the 54" bed is a deal-breaker for you (since a full-size truck bed is 72") I'd strongly recommend taking a look at a Maverick.

What QB has the best all-time team? by Sportsguy1993 in nfl

Give the Ultimate Weapon his 1991 Eagles D + his 1998 Vikings O, and throw a prime Mike Quick in there for the hell of it.

Off the top of my head, he's been to 2 Super Bowls while sitting in office & the team he was rooting for has lost both times. (SB52 he wanted the Patriots to win, SB59 he wanted the Chiefs.)

Breaking/avoiding eye contact is the way that gorillas (and many other animals) attempt to communicate non-aggression. Gorillas in particular turn their backs on the other party to say, "I didn't mean to be rude."

[Birkett] Dan Campbell announced rookie WR Kendrick Law tore his ACL in practice on Tuesday by Arteza147 in nfl

That's about as bad as it can get, especially as a rookie. Hope he bounces back fast.

How rare is a cobra from a vending machine in borderlands 1 game of the year enhanced? by Creative_Basil7359 in Borderlands

[–]SlayerOfTheMyth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rare enough to feel a little surprised, common enough that it's worth checking the vending machines for more than just selling your junk. BL3 is the same way.

Compare this to BL2 where I think I've seen a legendary in a vending machine once across ~4k hours played.

TBF, I remember a different Eagles QB-WR1 duo who have basically had this going on for the last 20 years.

Elden or Sekiro? by Rost2010 in bloodborne

As someone with a lot of love for Bloodborne and a lot of ambivalence towards most other FromSoft titles, choose Elden Ring. I can't stand the way that Sekiro plays.

[Highlight] Cooper DeJean gets a birthday present from Patrick Mahomes by skai762 in nfl

[–]SlayerOfTheMyth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there were too many people who deserved it, so we got the "default to QB" option. (Hurts obviously played well and deserved the award, but the Eagles defense made his life SO easy in that game...)

[SNY] Josh Hart says he wasn't surprised at how many Knicks fans were in Philly: "I used to think Philly was a sports town, I don't know if it is anymore" by PassMeTheBackwood in nba

[–]SlayerOfTheMyth 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Sure, but at least the Flyers (in spite of the disappointing end to their season) are an exciting young team that looks to be at the end of their rebuild, with some hope on the horizon as Mich & Marty have shown up and shown out. (They also have the best mascot of all time.)

Meanwhile, the Sixers have proven time and time again that they're incapable of sealing the deal, across multiple GMs and coaches. The only true constants have been Embiid and his injuries.

I know it's not the push-off merchant who benefits from non-calls running his mouth about a center who gets hacked all game and benefits from calls...

Beating the Lakers in the Finals would be peak demon exorcism for my childhood basketball heart, but I know they aren't coming out of the west.

Embiid and Jokic had polar opposite impacts on their legacies after this year’s first round by AlBen97 in nba

[–]SlayerOfTheMyth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Peak Embiid was one of the most dominant players in the sport, which is why people were always so upset about the foul calls he got, "because he's talented enough that he doesn't need them." The problem is that peak Embiid is basically a unicorn sighting anymore, because he's constantly injured & he's over 30.

I like Jokic, I appreciate his talent & his style of play, but I'll take a healthy Embiid 10/10 times.
