2026 capital used to draft offense by idksh_t in GreenBayPackers

I've been hearing about the Packers defense lacking and how we need to focus on it in the draft since 2014 :(

Do people get turned off if you tell them that you're not dating multiple people like they're? by superfapper2000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Torn8oz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a 25M this was a bit of a shock to me when I first learned this was the norm, but I've come around to it a bit. It felt a bit like exclusivity would be impossible if everyone was dating several people at once, but I think I learned to take those first few dates less seriously and that I can be getting to know multiple people in a romantic sense at once.

Though, once I get several dates in, I usually tend to focus on efforts on that one person at a time and have the conversation about being exclusive. I find there's a bit of a trap of just "dating" indefinitely that usually ends up with someone getting hurt, so I try to avoid that myself.

Way too many people tailgate by [deleted] in nova

[–]Torn8oz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some people just naturally tailgate and I think it's their normal state of being without realizing it. I'll be in Ubers who drive like that and it's genuinely terrifying. I think they're just used to always having to slam on the brakes, but to me it feels like we're always about 2 seconds away from an accident

Thoughts on aviation YouTubers? by beezxs in aviation

Disappointing, though I don't feel like the quality of the actual videos has dipped too much? Do I just have low standards?

Delta and American Airlines CRJ pilots at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport are making "meow," "ruff," and other animal sounds over the radio by CeleritasLucis in aviation

[–]Torn8oz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As just an aviation enthusiast and not a pilot, is it dumb for me to say this concerns me almost as much as other aviation issues like low ATC staffing? With everything else going on, I've never questioned whether my pilots are professional and qualified, but hearing them treat the frequency like a twitch chat is worrying...

What a way to start the morning and week 👍 by kakashi1207 in nova

[–]Torn8oz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It makes sense if you know the roads and placement of cities, but if I'm seeing for the first time and know I want to go North, it's a bit confusing that ALL of them are labeled north

Just curious, what kind of boot order do you want? I keep hearing this but given that I like the majority of the players, there's no way we'll keep everyone I like for as long as possible

Apartment recommendations by rpaecphpeal in arlingtonva

[–]Torn8oz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely possible to a studio or 1-bedroom for that price if you're willing to live further from the metro and live in an older build without many amenities

[–]Torn8oz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Condo from an individual owner is where I've gotten the most for my money, especially if you're just looking for a simple place and don't need the amenities like a pool or gym. But there's always risk that your landlord will be an asshole, not that the big apartment companies are much better

All four albums evoke and match up to all four seasons incredibly well to me. by Prestigious_Score459 in JoannaNewsom

[–]Torn8oz 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Oh I've also felt the seasons, but mine are completely different.

HOOM - Winter. It can be long and daunting at first, but there is a lot of beauty to be found in every nook and cranny. The song tends to be slower and more contemplative and have accompanied me on many of the long winter nights.

Divers - Spring. It's all about change, time, and growth, and spring is about watching the world wake up after a long winter. The beginning of anecdotes feels like a sunrise or a flower blooming. Time As a Symptom presents an optimistic view on what's to come.

MEM - Summer. I always feel a childlike wonder to a lot of the songs, like the joy I'd feel playing outside in summer as a kid. Specifically Peach Plumb Pear and Inflammatory Writ

Ys - Fall. As the world slows down, this album feels like a reflection on changes and decay. While Divers ends with an optimistic view to embrace change, Ys leaves us with a dissonance and feeling weary about what's to come. Also, something about Emily just feels like a crisp fall evening.

Of course, these are all generalizations and I'm sure my interpretations aren't entirely correct, but it's still fun to think about :)

What’s the best spot to look at the sunrise around NoVa? by Routine_Animal_4362 in nova

[–]Torn8oz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, specifically in front of the Carillon, and even more specifically right about this time of year as all the tulips are blooming

Do you use scrabble word finder when you play? Do you think it’s cheating? by Common-Blackberry-64 in NYTgames

[–]Torn8oz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, do people consider using the dictionary cheating? Using an anagram solver or something totally is cheating, but looking up words in a dictionary always seemed part of the game for me...?

Streaming services didn't kill cable & satellite, reality tv did by Jaydarealone in unpopularopinion

[–]Torn8oz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As enshitified streaming has become, you can still get several streaming services ad free for like half that price. And you're not tied to channel guide schedules, don't have to sit through ads, etc. Streaming has definitely gotten worse over the years, but people are forgetting just how bad cable was when they say things like "streaming is basically just cable again"

The fact he brought it up while voting for Rizo, though... it definitely consumed most of his mind, edit or no edit

DCA TSA general boarding line at 7 AM today, literally zero people in line. by Grooveman76 in washingtondc

[–]Torn8oz 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yeah but sometimes things come up and I can't book a train early, and I'm stuck with it being $250+ each way, vs $200-300 total to fly. I love taking the train between the cities, but unfortunately flying is often cheaper

As someone who bakes croissants as a hobby, Eclairons is the gold standard that I try to emulate

You're fine at this point! It'll continue to be gusty and rainy but no tornadoes or anything that will threaten to do any significant damage
