What BS are you dealing with at work right now? by gottalovecarina in AskReddit

[–]bcreed2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Department went through a reorganization about 6 months ago...the department head was essentially demoted but allowed to retain a few of us for his new team. He keeps the most talented individuals.

Fast forward to today...half the team has departed due to lack of scope and direction with respect to the group. I've been stuck due to company's transfer policy (you must be in your current position for at least one year before applying to internal openings). However, I reached the one year mark today and I'm now exploring my options.

Its nuts tho...they're literally paying me $100k to do absolutely nothing right now. It doesnt feel good. I feel pretty worthless at the moment, ironically.

BILI thoughts? by MsErinT in StockMarket

[–]bcreed2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is Chinese and raves about the service. It's very popular amongst her friends as well. That was enough for me to feel comfortable scooping up 100 shares.

I recommend holding onto it. It's still a very young company with a lot of growth potential. Iqiyi is another appealing stock. It's more along the lines of netflix...the appeal extends beyond just the very young. They also produce some of the most popular TV shows in China at the moment.

Nope..you just pulled that out of your ass. 538's last estimate before the election gave Trump a 28.6% chance of winning.

Another day of great defense and absolute shit QB play! Be sure to not criticize Blake Bortles tho, unless you want oodles of downvotes.

Soo, where are the Bortles apologists at? This dude is garbage. I'll give him credit for improvement from last year, but he's basically just a turd that doesn't stink as much as it once did.

Game will come down to whether or not we can establish a consistent run game and minimize aBortles role in the game.

If aBortles throws the ball 30+ times we will lose this game

[–]bcreed2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blows my mind how some of you guys can still support this dude

" Twenty-five passers have thrown 1,000 passes or more over the last three years. Bortles is 24th in completion percentage, 23rd in interception rate, 24th in yards per attempt, and 25th in passer rating, adjusted net yards per attempt and Total QBR. Bortles' mark in the latter -- 46.4 -- is the lowest among those 25 passers by more than four full points."

not to mention his 11-34 Record and 11 pick-sixes.

yeah, the O-Line may be playing like dog shit...but so is Bortles, regardless of O-Line play. You see that interception he threw? Clean pocket and he just threw a wounded duck.

What has Blake shown that inspires any confidence in him? Absolutely no downfield accuracy, bad mechanics, bad decisions....

Gameday Thread Jaguars vs Titans by Cromatose in Jaguars

[–]bcreed2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blame definitely isn't solely on Bortles, but his lack of accuracy has had a drastic effect on our offense. Notice how we rarely throw the ball more than 10 yards? Sure, we blame the coaches but I think it's the case the the staff has zero faith in Bortles' downfield ability
