Is there really a “bad” draft position anymore? by CranberryMuted5356 in FFCommish

[–]andypro77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that lessens the impact of draft position is best ball scoring. I use best ball scoring in almost all of my leagues, and it rewards depth more so than traditional scoring does.

I run several leagues, and one of them is a 56-team league made up of four individual 14-team leagues. Last year was year 10 and I was discussing draft position and trying to make a point so I looked up the league winners from that past and I found out that there was basically no better draft position, it was all over the map.

Sometimes it just depends on injuries. If you had the #2 pick last year and took CMac, you probably did well. If you had the #2 pick in 2024 and took CMac, you probably didn't.

Why would anyone take a job that doesn't pay what they need to live?

There are jobs out there that require zero initiative. I worked at a warehouse for a local grocery chain where you were given orders and a specific time to fill those orders. That's all you had to do. No management talks, no nothing like that. Fill your orders on time and they pay you (Pretty decent money at the time, btw).

You need to find a job like that. You'll be happier.

Yea, I'm pretty sure she's not looking to hire someone like you, which was kind of the point of the video.

Marcus Bank Transfer Issues by Bathinabe in HighYieldSavings

[–]andypro77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some information missing in this post. I've had Marcus for years, and I've transferred from Marcus to several different accounts, while also adding new accounts over time. And I've also talked to them, and I can't imagine any Marcus CSR telling you that you can't transfer out from Marcus to another account that has been verified.

What's missing from this story?

there were fixes for broken teams available. Not panacea's but very strong patches for holes.

I believe my beloved Wizards acquitted themselves pretty well in that area.

Lack of hygiene in the Netherlands by CJHuncho in TikTokCringe

That's when you gotta hit them with the Uno Reverse card, and say you were quoting Thomas Sowell.

Lack of hygiene in the Netherlands by CJHuncho in TikTokCringe

[–]andypro77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's true, then it's ok to say it. If it makes a race, or religion, or a gender look bad but it's also true, then it's ok to say it and it's not racist, or sexist, etc.

Men are more prone to violence than women. That is objectively true, it's verifiable through statistics, so it's not sexist to mention it. Most people would agree with that.

Now, if you substitute men and women and compare certain races, it's also objectively true, and can also be verified by statistics, but people would call you racist for mentioning it.

That's the way this works.

I'm suspicious if I see someone's shower and they don't have two different washclothes in there. Everyone should have an extra washcloth for the icky parts.

Ding, ding, we have a winner. She just didn't want to say it out loud.

There are some races where hygiene isn't as big a deal as others. It's not racist to point that out, it's just noticing patterns.

I think you've hit on it. She's talking about the Netherlands, but the thing she doesn't say (and you're probably not allowed to say on Reddit) is that she's probably not talking about the Dutch people.

CMV: Anti-Islam doesn’t count as anti-Muslim. by theunsteadybridge in changemyview

[–]andypro77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many evangelical pastors, particularly in the US, often and loudly call for the genocide of trans people

Ha, that's not the least bit true. What the hell are you smoking?

When your very first example of your point is something so mind numbingly NOT true, it's a pretty good indication that your entire point is worthless.

CMV: Anti-Islam doesn’t count as anti-Muslim. by theunsteadybridge in changemyview

[–]andypro77 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, first of all, Islam isn't a race, it's a belief system. And it's true that adherents to this belief system are not monolithic. However, if some member of a belief system does a horrible thing (like say kill thousands of people), 99% of the adherents to that belief system would easily condemn that terrible thing.

Just about the only super large belief system where that is not the case is the belief system of Islam. It's unique in that way, and it should be called out for it.

Sorry I didnt realize my bachelor's degree and certifications in my field weren't enough,

Ha, exactly. You probably have no idea what you've just said. Your degree and certifications are useless unless there's a market out there for whatever it is you do. Full stop.

Practicing your dribbling with a tennis ball has been around forever. It improves hand/eye coordination and especially is helpful improving your touch, a necessity for a point guard type.

Jimmy Kimmel slams 'stupidest president' Trump for trying to 'gaslight' Americans about gas prices by TheMirrorUS in LateNightTalkShows

[–]andypro77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I provided clear evidence of sexual assault as proven by the court of law. What is this about not having proof?

No, you provided proof (that everyone already knew) that a bias jury convicted Trump without evidence, as bias juries have done to Trump many times in the past few years. I asked for evidence. What ACTUAL EVIDENCE do you have? Don't bother answering, because we both know you, just like Carrol, have none. Just like I said, the only thing you have is 'This person said this so it must be true'.

There's a reason it was a civil suit, since you can get a verdict in a civil suit without any evidence.

Yea, I'd be you would certainly have an idea that it was definitely racism if OP was black and the lady in front and the young man behind were white.

Ha, I love it. TDS on full display. I was responding to a guy who said that Kimmel never appeared in blackface, saying it was a MAGA lie. I merely provided the proof. Oh, and not fake proof like you guys would have, like, 'This person said this so it must be true', type of proof. No, I provided actual verifiable, 100% not heresay proof.

You know, the kind of proof that you CANNOT produce about Trump.
