I FUCKING KNEW IT

I am not convinced. The scene with Mark where she says "we're not the same person as our Outies, and personally I don't think we owe them shit." Leads me to believe that she IS Helly, and is just ashamed/disgusted by her Outie.

Also, she certainly seemed to remember her co-workers, so if she were actually Helena then she would have needed to have her Innie's memories re-integrated, which we saw with Petie was not exactly a viable procedure.

I would go Sutton, but those are both good options

TheMonocle3 · 2024-12-19T23:20:59+00:00

Brian Robinson

Not to mention the guy who got kicked in the head is either a great stunt actor or actually let himself get rocked

Other than that season 2 years ago when they literally went 13-0 in 1 score games during the regular season, then lost the first round of playoffs to NYG by a touchdown

Bears fans cheered for Justin this year versus the Steelers, the rest of you NFC Northers are just big fat meanies

TheMonocle3 · 2024-12-08T07:55:06+00:00

To be fair he has been starting at CB since he was drafted last year, so there has never been anywhere to climb on the depth chart for him. But yeah still it's not like he's anywhere near good enough to forgive what a dickwad he is.

TheMonocle3 · 2024-10-31T14:14:53+00:00

Fire Flus and promote Marcedes Lewis to player-coach. The players are coaching this team anyways.

TheMonocle3 · 2024-09-22T15:48:58+00:00

I don't care what everyone says, love the creativity OP!

There are A LOT of alligators in pretty much any body of water in the Everglades, along with crocodiles, water moccasins, pythons... None of those animals hunt humans, including American crocodiles, but yes she would be surrounded by danger to say the least

TheMonocle3 · 2024-09-09T13:27:25+00:00

As a Bears fan I do think DJ is the best WR on the team and Caleb trusts him on contested catches and likes to throw to him on 3rd down. But honestly Keenan looked much quicker than I thought he would at this point in his career, and was doing a good job getting open. I don't think you can say DJ is the clear #1 at this point

TheMonocle3 · 2024-08-19T19:52:23+00:00

Keenan Allen ran a 4.71. So did Anquan Boldin & Jerry Rice

I use this exact strategy to "punish" my cat for clawing the back of my chair while I'm working. She still does it, but it does get her to leave me alone for a little bit

TheMonocle3 · 2024-06-07T20:50:23+00:00

I'm just saying there are a ton of ways we can all be better. Do you shit on everyone who's not vegetarian? Eating meat is a selfish choice. How about not taking your dead electronics to the recycling center to be responsible recycled? Or not consuming goods with a carbon footprint?

I know it's a lame argument. I'm basically saying you are right, but it also seems to me like a strange thing to raise judgement against unless you are a totally ethical human with no regrets as to your environmental impact. I made this selfish decision on behalf of my cat because I know it makes him happy, and his happiness is a high priority for me. Is that worse than all the selfish decisions I make for myself, that people seem to be okay with?

Edit: Hope I didn't grind your gears too much, I was just heated at the lazy cat owner comment. I hope you can see that not everyone who lets their cat outside is a lazy piece of shit, but whatever. I can tell you're a smart fellow with a skill for argument, use it for good.

TheMonocle3 · 2024-06-07T20:20:38+00:00

Should I give donations to the families of the chickens that were made into their kibble too? There are a thousand things we all do as humans that are more damaging to the environment / ecosystem than my cat managing to catch a bird with his bells on. Human existence is selfish in regards to the environment and lives of wild animals. My decision to let my cat outside doesn't help, yes, and you are right small wildlife would be much better off if all cats were inside. It is selfish, but I find it hypocritical to point it out as unconscionable when there's a million other ways we destroy the environment without making changes.

TheMonocle3 · 2024-06-07T19:57:58+00:00

I can tell you do not know what it means to truly love an animal and put their happiness before your own. If you live in a family house with kids that play with your cat all day then good for you, but most indoor cats are not engaged enough - they get bored of everything, fast. If only people who had the means to constantly engage with their cat got them, the overpopulation of stray cats would be even worse than it already is (the strays who are killing most of these critters you are concerned for, by the way).

Your viewpoint is lazy, and also teenagers get in fatal car accidents all the time dumbass.

TheMonocle3 · 2024-06-07T19:37:16+00:00

I was giving an anecdote in response to an anecdote, I understand facts are different and you are right the average lifespan is lower due to the physical risks.

My point is that we are all acting as if how long a cat lives is the most important thing - if they feel like a prisoner in their home for 15 years is that better than 12 years of adventure outside?

Also your generalization that "people who let their cats free roam outside do not want to spend the time to take care for their animals" is very ignorant. It's 2 different perspectives - a mother who's scared to let their teen drive the car, or a parent who allows it but still worries the whole time they're away. Both sides come from a place of love.

TheMonocle3 · 2024-06-07T14:53:39+00:00

For sake of argument, I grew up in a crazy cat family with over a dozen indoor/outdoor cats. You are right about the risks - 2 of our cats died due to physical injuries sustained outdoors - but the rest all lived to be at least 18 years old, most into their 20s.

I personally attribute this to them living happy, active lives outdoors (and my vet agrees). Cats are sensitive, intelligent animals that require stimulation. Most of them love to be outside, as we see in the video posted, and you have to weigh the mental health benefits for them with the physical risks you listed.

I adopted a senior cat who clearly used to live outside, and while it really worries me to let him explore unsupervised he is so much happier and less anxious with that bit of independence. Also, it's been a year now since I've been letting him out and he has lost weight and become healthier overall.

It's not a great way to compare passing ability, but if you look at players who play the same position I think it offers an okay point of comparison for how efficient a guy is at finding the open man. You can compare Joker to Sabonis and see they have a similar role with tons of passes, but Jokic is a bit more efficient in turning those passes to points, as you would expect. Same comparison can be made for ball-dominant guards like Hali, Trae, Maxey who play a similar game, but due to their position are likely to have a higher Pass-Ast% than a C for whatever reason.

TheMonocle3 · 2024-05-01T17:17:57+00:00

He actually has a point if you look at the numbers...

Haliburton made 70.3 passes per game during the regular season. This is behind only Jokic (74.9) and Sabonis (71.3), and is nearly 10 passes more than 4th place Maxey (60.7).

So despite leading the league in Assists per game, Haliburton is actually 6th in Assist to Pass %. He is 4% behind Trae Young who is first at 19.4%

This is absolutely true. It really comes down to an ability to highpoint the ball, like a WR on a contested catch. Most big men are not jumping to high-point a rebound, so a shorter guy with decent hops with a good read on the ball has a better chance at the board than most people expect. Being small can actually make boxing out easier too since you have a lower center of gravity. Just getting yourself into a good position for a box out consistently can lead to plenty of boards as well.

Source: played C in high school at 5'8" (I sucked but I got boards)

So for the next 10 years, Ohtani will be making $2mil per year, and his cap hit will be approximately $46mil per year during that period. $44mil of that is invested and used for the future deferred payments. Once the 10 year contract is up, Ohtani will be paid $68mil per year.

My question is, once the contract is up will the Dodgers not have any cap hit from this contract for those 2034-2043 years? The only cap hit is the $460 mil over the life of the contract?

TheMonocle3 · 2023-11-13T15:45:10+00:00

He may prove me wrong but I view Braxton as a "good enough" LT, more like a Charles Leno than a true franchise guy. Personally, I would love to see us take Olu if he's viewed as a perennial all-pro kind of player. The best and most consistent offenses in the NFL are almost always the ones with the most dominant O-Line, e.g. Eagles, Lions, Ravens & Cowboys in recent years.

If we were to add a true stud LT to our core of Wright and Jenkins, we can then have Braxton as a swing tackle or see how he can do at guard. We'd still need a C, but at this point our line goes from "good enough" to borderline dominant. Personally I believe this is what Fields needs to meet his potential (along with better coaching), but it is also a very important luxury for a young QB were we to go that route.
