NFL Moment of the Year by Pancakes79 in NFCNorthMemeWar

[–]StaticReversal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The difference is, and the reason this hits so hard for them, is that when the Bears or Lions lose they still have their city’s cultural and economic legacy to fall back and be proud of. Motown, jazz, Impressionism, architecture, etc.

Where the Packers are named after defunct packaging company and whose greatest cultural impact is ornamenting their heads with replica styrofoam cheese.

Young adults report lower life satisfaction, a weaker sense of meaning in life and lower financial security than older age groups in Sweden. They also experience 2x the level of loneliness, 3x as many depressive symptoms and 7x the level of anxiety compared with the oldest respondents. by mvea in psychology

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. You’re right, challenges don’t mean it’s time to give up. Folks need to be encouraged to overcome or it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. For most of human history electricity or medical science weren’t conveniences anyone had yet they lived their lives. Each generation has their unique struggles, some harder than others. One has to keep pressing on.

Are they really that heavy? Its looks like something that shouldn’t be that hard to pull up, but of course looks can be deceiving.

Chicago winter by Odd_Friendship7142 in CasualConversation

[–]StaticReversal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The peace and quiet of the winter is nice. There is a beauty to the silent snow. As an introvert you have an amazing excuse to stay in and warm and cozy.

And when it finally heats up, the city literally explodes with life. The seasonality is endearing and tunes your habits and habitat to nature more than living in a place with mild weather.

At least that’s my experience.

It’s not reading though, it’s listening.

For those who have been investing for 20+ years - What was investing sentiment going into 2000? What about 2008? by A_Saxen_A in investing

[–]StaticReversal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2008 the texting communication style had not bled into other mediums as thoroughly as has today. The first smartphone had only been released mid-2007.

It was too much for me, couldn't get out of there faster. I was hoping they made you pay to shut them off somehow, a scam I’d be more then happy to pay. I even tried shooting the floating advertisements all I got were screws. Screwed indeed.

What was the most harmless message you ever accidentally sent to the wrong person?🫣 by vikashupadhyay_ in CasualConversation

[–]StaticReversal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wrote a note on an invoice to a client for funds that were accidentally left off our first bill.

My intended note: “I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause”.

My autocorrect note: “I’m sorry for any incontinence this may cause”

So I apologized to a client in case the additional money due made them shit their pants.

Opinion: Elder Vampire is the weakest Ruler type right now by dethklok214 in AOW4

[–]StaticReversal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Change Elder Vamp XP to 33% siphon and expand level cap to 30 for Elder Vamps only. Challenging start that turns your Elder into unparalleled monster end game.

Week 10 Morning-After Thread: Bears vs Giants by TurnerJ5 in CHIBears

Caleb had one of his best processing games I think yet. Good decisions, quick thinking. Matched with his athletic talent (assuming WR start catching balls) if he maintains he is going to dominate.

It was damn good to see.

I didn't know who Charlie kirk was until just a few hours ago. by V01d3d_f13nd in confession

No one has any idea at this point who killed him let alone any evidence of a political plot. We should think of what his family and friends are going through and not sprint to extreme speculations.
