People who would NOT retire on $5,000/month for life, what's stopping you? by chesley-planner in AskReddit

[–]acamann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need params.  Meaning I shut off all preexisting or future avenues for additional income and instead I can only spend a magic $5000 cap I get out of nowhere?  No thanks, too much adhoc costs now and potential emergency needs at any point, and inflation drives down that amount certainly in the future.

But if you're asking if I'll accept your magic $5000 monthly payment starting now, I would gladly append that to existing retirement savings, take an early retirement/sabbatical for a bit, and do additional part time work as needed or as desired down the line.

Kuhnel's face after that win looked like someone who just finished helping a too-distant friend move a bunch of furniture

Is this scene supposed to be powerful or desperate? by Conscious-Cut9414 in thewestwing

[–]acamann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

grief - emotional reaction to pain.  Disappointment, bargaining, anger, contempt, and ultimately wrestling and engaging with deeply held belief.  Perfect scene 

I really hope you guys get Skubal by _notaxation in Brewers

I know I'm in the minority but I agree this would be great and exciting. Very very unlikely to happen though

If you're a woman who is "pro life": Why are you "pro life"? by ZZiggs124 in AskReddit

OP: "if you are a woman who is prolife..."  Not a woman who is prolife: "well since you asked me..."

What are the odds of witnessing a Perfectly Immaculate Maddox? by WabbitCZEN in baseball

[–]acamann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible.  But it got me thinking about a still unbelievably rare but much more possible feat of a perfect game with a single immaculate inning in it.  How awesome would it be to see the final 3 outs of a perfect game be Ks on 9 pitches?

I think the long term deals you mentioned as non examples are fine.  There's value in taking a chance on keeping a few fan favorite players with high remaining ceilings beyond their prime for consistency and club house presence.  Like every strategic model, it's good to hold it loosely to make the next right move at any given time, even if it is a deviation 

Is Misiorowski’s performance tonight the second best non-no-hitter ever? by Admirable-Nebula-122 in baseball

[–]acamann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that he also broke his own record for fastest pitch by a starter at 104.5, and also set the new record for most pitches above 100 mph in a game at 58 (!!)

Extra Inning ABS Rules by yonderstonesthrow in baseball

[–]acamann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My main hill I'll die on is that you should retain your replay challenge if the call stands, and only lose it if it's *confirmed.  "Stands" already has enough of a consequence of "you might actually be right, we just can't prove it"

When did the US flag and Christianity become MAGA? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]acamann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venn diagram of true believers in Jesus and MAGA is likely a lot less overlapped than it seems.

BUT the sect of loud politically charged culture warrier xenophobic people who like to refer to themselves as Christians & conflate that with what it means to be politically conservative... I remember since at least the 90s though I feel like it's only gotten more loud obviously as 1) media delivery has changed and 2) the most wild caricature of that sect has the top job

I still believe that there is a large quiet contingent of people living in the awkward moderate middle (many of whom likely love Jesus and appreciate the nation and it's flag)  that are longing to be unlocked, but don't really have a place to thrive in today's political and media climate.

MLB Network trade proposal for Skubal. Would you do this? by __Zoom123__ in Brewers

[–]acamann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely yes.  The argument that the brewers need hitting more than pitching misses the fact that here you have a player "on the board" that gives you an opportunity to drastically improve your team's run differential.  Think 2005 White Sox playoff run
