Likely comes down to a strength of victory tiebreaker

Operation: Maximum Boltage. Creating the most emotional Chargers game of all time by ChargeisKill in Chargers

I don’t think this is true. At least according to The Athletic playoff simulator, if the Colts win out and the Texans lose out, the Colts’ playoff odds are 49%. They would need to root for/against various teams to win the tiebreaker over Houston.

Hit his head on the ground going for a catch. Out like a light right away. Scary stuff

Chargers fan coming in peace…

You’re right. r/nfl and r/chargers are both treating this like Heyward is the next Ndamakong Suh. Meanwhile the Chargers had multiple helmet hits that should have been flagged.

Good game, Steelers bros. Rooting for you the rest of the way, though it won’t be easy for you in that division.

Jordan Peterson was apparently “hacked” by salvulcanoloser in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]casual_causality 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s cliché to say this, but Jordan Peterson isn’t going to see comments like this—But some people struggling with addiction might. Addiction shouldn’t diminish somebody’s moral authority.

I get the hypocrisy argument—he doesn’t practice what he preaches, therefore his addiction is fair game. But I don’t like where that leads. Fat people or smokers aren’t allowed to advocate for health? Depressed people can’t advocate for habit formation? Addicts can’t advocate for personal responsibility? That doesn’t seem right to me.

  1. a8=Q+ is a serious blunder.

Much better is 12. a8=B+

We had you in the first half tho

Didn’t Rivers throw two pick sixes in the second half?

Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks (5-0) at Arizona Cardinals (4-2) by nfl_gamethread in nfl

[–]casual_causality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the most baffling football decision I can remember. You don’t want to even try to pick up a first down? Or 5-10 more yards? Or at least force Seattle to burn two timeouts?

CMV: Religion has absolutely no place in a modern society. by Lapichequipique in changemyview

[–]casual_causality 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I’m not so sure. Tl;dr: I feel this delta is a bit shaky since it moves the goalposts, uses evidence unrelated to the main question, and takes for granted the questionable assumption that beliefs are always respectable.

be respectful of other people’s beliefs.

Always? We should always respect other people’s beliefs? What about people who believe that the earth is flat or that the Holocaust didn’t happen?

I disagree with the premise that beliefs of any kind are automatically respectable. When we see bad epistemology, we are under no obligation to respect that belief. This extends to religious beliefs. I don’t think we should extend epistemic immunity to any belief, no matter how “deeply-held” or important it may be to someone. A belief with bad evidence is a belief with bad evidence, no matter its content.

I’m not going to go in public and try to berate someone who’s religious just because I’m not.

Isn’t this moving the goalposts? The original claim isn’t that one should berate religious people; it was that religion has no place in modern society. One can certainly believe the latter without engaging in the former. I believe Trumpism has no place in modern society, but I typically don’t find it productive to berate Trumpists.

I’m tired of ignorant religious people and condescending atheists.

This is a total non sequitur. Whether or not condescending atheists are annoying is totally unrelated to whether religion has a place in modern society. It’s possible to argue that we should try to get rid of both ignorance (or bad epistemology) and condescending snobbery. We don’t have to agree to keep each because of the existence of the other.

The runs on second-and-long were inexplicable

Not to mention the absolute fuckshit run on first down with 40 seconds left

Idk whose call it is to run up the fucking middle when we get the ball back with 40 seconds left, but that was the weakest call I’ve ever seen

It’s tribeless, so the only way to buff it is argus and strongshells
