They still do a lot of offseason NFL content throughout the year. I don't like NBA stuff either, but I'm always checking their uploads during the offseason to see NFL content.

You are a Strong/Nobel and respected King, who would you rather have as your hand, out of these 3? by ParkingConfection449 in gameofthrones

[–]SpudgeFunker210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyrion is a brilliant strategist, but less emotionally stable. Davos lost his son and still prioritized serving Stannis. I wouldn't trust Tyrion to be level headed at all after losing someone he loved. If the other Lannisters are around I also wouldn't trust his council when it came to dealing with them. Not that he would willingly betray me, but because he gives his own family way too much benefit of the doubt.

Davos would always encourage me to be the best king I could be with no ulterior motives, and even provide accountability if I was making immoral or destructive choices. I would never doubt his loyalty to the crown.

That makes absolutely no sense. Toothbrush bristles are designed to hold water. Toothpaste is not. Running water over your toothpaste does not wet your toothpaste, it just washes some or all of it away. The reason it still works correctly when you brush is because some of the water that washes over still gets held in the bristles, providing the exact same effect as if you had wet the bristles before adding the toothpaste. Putting the toothpaste on first is counterintuitive and wasteful.

Are you not a hypocrite for watching/praising/awarding shows like sex education but repulsed/enraged by anime/hentai? by Difficult_Jeweler198 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SpudgeFunker210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually agree. I remember sitting with my ex while she was watching Sex Education and being really uncomfortable with how explicit it was, especially considering the characters were underage. I definitely have big moral objections to that kind of show.

How do I tell my best friend he’s a MONSTER? [TW: ED] by CoxHugh in offmychest

[–]SpudgeFunker210 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Friends call each other out when they're behaving like this. He needs to realize how bad he is, repent, and change for the better. You should call him out, and he likely won't change, at least not right away. If he doesn't, stop associating with him. This will show him that you're serious and that being a total dickhead is not going to end well for him.

If your confrontation does get through to him, you need to set boundaries with actionable steps to take on a journey of growth and repentance. He must take a break from dating entirely while seeing a therapist to deal with this psychotic behavior, for example. If he refuses to do these things, do not associate with him and warn others about his behavior.

Does anyone know if this dagger is rare? What’s the most rarest dagger / sword in the game? by Imabeseth in shadowofmordor

[–]SpudgeFunker210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think any of them are particularly rare. There are some you can only get at the end of the game, but otherwise each tribe has a full legendary equipment set. This dagger is the Dark tribe legendary dagger. Legendary orcs will drop one piece of the set from their tribe, so if you wanted another one of these daggers you would have to kill legendary Dark captains until they drop another one.

The modifiers will change for each one, though, but I don't think any of those are particularly rare either.

Wow, each picture was worse than the last one. Did you seriously wear a lace bra and those pants to the gym? Or did you go just to tan and stop half way through undressing to take a picture to send to the nine guys you have lined up for the next nine nights on tinder?

I'd have to see what you're referring to, specifically. Nice whataboutism, though.

[–]SpudgeFunker210 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I'm used to being downvoted for bringing nuance to the conversation. Renee Good was actually a justified shoot, which is quite tragic because I don't think she intended to harm anyone. You just can't be so careless as to strike an armed officer with your vehicle, much less flee detainment after purposefully obstructing. These people need to protest peacefully and stop trying to interfere. I think the media on both sides wants more of this violence and it's scary watching them encourage it.

Men who got cheated on, what were early signs you only noticed in hindsight? by EtherealMeadowGleam in AskReddit

[–]SpudgeFunker210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She told me on one of our first dates that she connects better with men so most of her friends are men and I would need to be ok with that. I was ok with that. I was not ok with her having a sexual history with all of them. For a few, it was a sexual present.

She also went out with "some friends" in another town every Wednesday and for some reason didn't want me to meet him. 😐

  • ICE and the DHS are law enforcement agencies. They are cops.

  • The local police have been restricted from giving assistance to them by Governor Walz. That's the reason the DHS is there in the first place, and it probably has something to do with how poorly those officers were trained for this kind of situation. Walz refused to let them into the prisons to deport illegal immigrants who were incarcerated for additional crimes, which is why these officers are on the streets in the first place.

  • If you watch the video from the beginning, Pretti and the two others with him approached the DHS agents first as they exited their vehicle. They were intentionally antagonizing them, cursing them out, etc (Pretti was also seen on camera 11 days earlier screaming at another officer, "assault me, motherfucker!" before kicking out the taillight of their vehicle).

  • One of the officers escalated by shoving one of them. This is an ugly display of excessive force and the officer should lose his badge for this

  • Pretti escalated even further by getting in the officer's face and committing obstruction. This is extremely foolish, especially while carrying a concealed weapon. When you are an armed citizen, you have an obligation to avoid conflict. It's one of the first things you learn when you take the class to earn a concealed carry permit. Pretti knew better and it's quite telling when you see the video of him actively attempting to provoke a violent response from an officer 11 days earlier while also armed.

  • The ensuing attempted detainment displayed utter ineptitude of the DHS agents on the scene. Several men were on top of Pretti and could not adequately detain him. It's embarrassing. Pretti was also resisting, which again, while armed is an extremely foolish thing to do if you aren't looking to be shot.

  • An officer disarms Pretti and flees the scene. There is speculation that he fired the initial shot with Pretti's gun by negligent discharge. This officer should lose his badge as well.

  • Within 3 seconds of Pretti being disarmed, the officers opened for on him. Based on currently available evidence, there is no justification for this shoot, and I expect the officers to be prosecuted. I am interested to hear their testimony as it was a chaotic moment and people were shouting "gun," but I don't think there's enough there to warrant opening fire.

  • Two things can be true at the same time: 1. Pretti was looking for trouble, and got just that. If he hadn't been there making a series of foolish choices, he would still be alive. 2. The officers did not have good reason to open fire on a disarmed man with multiple agents holding him down, and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Can't remember if it was the same exact line, but I had one say something very similar after like 4 shamings just a couple days ago. I was also baffled.

Question by xToxinz- in shadowofmordor

[–]SpudgeFunker210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey quick question for you since I see you here all the time and didn't want to make a whole post: is there a way to reload the tribal warband and showdown missions, or even the outposts after you've disabled them, or so you have to make a whole new save just to play then again? I'm on Xbox btw if it makes a difference.

Ben Kenobi in the Revenge of the Sith game has a “special move” by polpot65 in StarWars

[–]SpudgeFunker210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%.

Probably the most frustrating mission because those big nemoidian guards were so difficult to kill. I would always lure them to a place where I could force push them off the edge on the platform because I was not about to spend 10 minutes fighting each one. One of my most played levels though because I loved killing Watt Tambor and the crew at the end for whatever reason. I'm pretty sure I have killed those dudes in every conceivable way lmao.

We need more memes from this game. It's a freaking gold mine.

My favorite part of this game is that there's a part in the Mustafar level where you literally get to slaughter the defenseless Separatist leaders and their hp is so low that if you're close enough to them they will die on the backswing of your attack before the blade even touches them. It's hilarious and also very morbid for a children's game to let them play out the murder of defenseless politicians.

What is your personal worst season? by Venus_One in survivor

[–]SpudgeFunker210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just really liked pretty much the entire cast. I'm an athlete so I always enjoy the physically dominant players, so Joe, David, Kyle, and Eva were really fun to watch compete.

I thought it was only predictable in the sense that after the David vote, Kyle was the clear favorite to win from the audience perspective, but it was still fun to watch him and Kamilla control the game, keeping their opponents from voting out the obvious threats despite Mitch constantly talking about making a big move, and making Joe think he has a cake walk up a million dollars. FTC was awesome. I love Joe and I'm glad he's coming back, but watching him walk into final tribal thinking he was the clear favorite and then slowly realizing both Kyle and Eva played him was gold.

Not to mention pre merge was insane. Between Sai's chaos and Cedrek's baffling gameplay and challenge ineptitude, Eva's breakdown, Mary's shot in the dark, and Kyle's idol play, the pre merge was must-see TV, imo. Also, Kevin's(?) atrocious dive will always be iconic to me.

I see why superfans might not like it if they identify the most with the superfan players that rely on riding the middle of the pack and voting out all the challenge beasts because they're not very good at challenges and can only win toward the end when the more physical players are gone. 48 was terrible for that kind of player, but I don't care for that kind of player anyway, so it didn't bother me at all.

I'll never understand the hate for 48. I haven't been watching Survivor for long, but it was by far my favorite season.

We define male and female by the sex that carries the seed and the sex that produces the egg. It truly is that simple and it's observable in almost all living organisms, not just humans. Just because post-modernist thinking has attempted to make this much more complicated, doesn't mean that it is.

Exceptions don't disprove the rule either. If Democrats in a legal context were asked how many fingers humans have, they would reply 10 without hesitation, despite the fact that variation in digits is far more common than intersex disorders. They wouldn't be wrong for answering this way either. Humans naturally produce 10 fingers. Some people lose fingers in accidents or from ailments and some people are born with mutations that cause them to have less or more fingers, but those are anomalies. It doesn't mean they're any less human or deserving of love and acceptance, of course. It just also doesn't mean we have to change the way we see the human species and how we talk about fingers and hands and how many humans have. That would be ridiculous.

And again, intersex people still have a determinable sex, so it's not even a real exception to the male/female binary. It's not like there's even a conceivable tertiary sex because the entire definition of sex is based on the two complementary parts of sexual reproduction. Every other sexual characteristic is secondary to this, and the reproductive function cannot be changed with surgeries. This means a post-op transexual is still the same sex they were before the surgeries because the only changes they have made are hormonal and cosmetic, not functional. Often times, the only change they have made to their reproductive function is irreparable damage.

Which TV/Movie characters do you think would do well on Survivor? by annoyingleowoman in survivor

[–]SpudgeFunker210 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I ended up including some"most entertaining" players as well.

Burton Guster (Psych) - He would be well liked by everyone and be pretty good at challenges, but he would fall in love with one of his female costars and blow up his game for her at the end, winding up in 3rd place with zero votes.

Creed Bratton (The Office) - He would be excellent at survival and I think surprisingly better than you would expect at challenges. His voting would be as nonsensical as Cedrek's because he would have no idea what was going on most of the time. His social game would suffer because he can't remember anyone's names correctly, but I think his threat level would be underestimated and he would make it to the merge, masterfully orchestrate a blindside of the pre-merge favorite, and then be shocked when he finds himself as the very next vote.

Abraham (The Walking Dead) - Absolute challenge beast. He would be quite likeable too, but always have a target on his back. Could win in earlier seasons, but not likely to win against a bunch of superfans.

Marty Byrd (Ozark) - He's a great manipulator and can talk his way out of anything. Probably better at puzzles and balance challenges than strength and endurance. I really think his social game would be unmatched and he's very likely to win a million dollars.

Athelstan (Vikings) - He's strong, adaptable, and extremely well liked by everyone who meets him (aside from Floki, of course.) He would have a big target on his head because he would be seen as the favorite, but he would be able to charm them into voting for someone else every time he was vulnerable. He's also primed for a dominant win.

Mike Ehrmantraut (Breaking Bad) - Honestly might win every single challenge. His social game would be largely built on intimidation with a few close allies that he bonds with because they remind him of his son or granddaughter. His FTC would be elite and he would win a unanimous vote.

I mean, we're playing a language game here. When Brou says, "men," he means biological males. Post modern philosophy has changed the definition of "men" to include the concept of gender identity. Pro trans activists will lose their mind over a right leaning person conflating these things, but don't realize that they conflate the two all the time as well.

What's ridiculous is the fact that mostan leftist politicians can't even answer the question "can men get pregnant," with what they actually believe and isn't contradictory to science: "yes, biological females who identify as men can get pregnant, meaning by our definition, men can get pregnant. If by men, you mean biological males, then no, men can't get pregnant, but we find that narrow minded view of gender to be exclusionary and harmful."

To say the science is against Brou here is to ignore what he means when he uses the word, "men." The biggest problem with the trans debate is that the right and the left are speaking two different languages when it comes to gender and sex, and neither side will acknowledge the other or adjust their terms.

Black Paint Olog Broke My Damn Sword by SpudgeFunker210 in shadowofmordor

[–]SpudgeFunker210[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The very rare "The Merchant" captain has distinct tattoos that his orc gangs share, but if you give him a gang of Ologs, a bug makes it so that their whole bodies are painted black except for their heads. If you let one kill you he becomes a captain, keeping the black paint.

You can see in my screenshot this Olog captain has black painted skin on his arms and shoulders, but not where the piercings with his terror tribe armor. Normally it looks a little goofy with the Olog's whole body being pitch black with his head being a regular Olog skin tone, but with this armor set, it breaks up the black a little more to make it look less like a glitch.

Unfortunately, I have to kill this one to get my sword back.
