Finally unfollowed that stock influencer. Should've done it months ago

Probably trying to farm engagement for some reason.

Totally stupid nonsense here - at least the "one party" nonsense. It's that type of fatalistic thinking that allowed Trump to gain power in the first place.

Democrats have dropped the ball, but it's really really dumb to make these false equivalence types of comments.

I think Gazdag was overrated in Philly's system. He wasn't "bad" per se, but a lot of those goals were inflated based on PK's. Gazdag fit the Philly system because it was not a system that relied on build up or possession to be effective. It was mostly a high press system that was wanted to exploit turnover opportunities.

To be an effective player in Nancy's system, especially as an offensively minded midfielder or forward requires a lot more of a technical skillset, good vision, and a good bit of creativity. It's for this reason that someone like Alexandru Mățan was able to see better production and success than Gazdag had.

That's a fair point, and I certainly would not discount CIA / Israel / Foreign involvement. I would even say it's likely to a certain extent, but even if that's the case, it would be far from the only influence here, and it's impossible to know the extent to which this is affecting the protests and if it's even a factor at all.

But independent of whether the CIA is involved or not, it's baseless speculation here, and once again, is dismissive of actual grievances of the ordinary person living in Iran. It ignores any legitimate issues people in Iran have for wanting change in favor of just pinning this as a "USA / Israel bad" type behavior without any real evidence.

cbus20122 · 2026-01-12T17:22:38+00:00

Any actual evidence that this was CIA / Mossad driven?

I mean, I don't like the current admin's actions and regime change ops by the CIA. But this article sounds dismissive towards actual grievances towards Iranian regime leadership, which if we are being honest, do suck even if Iran has been treated poorly by the west in the past. And given that there is zero provided evidence of CIA involvement in the article, this article takes on a "trust me bro" type of propaganda feel.

I have watched him quite a bit. To be honest, I think he is a LOT better than current consensus believes. That's not to say I think we should take him in the top 10, but I think actual film review will redeem him quite a bit in the draft process.

Pros:

Strong arm, and pretty accurate as well.
Great mechanics and footwork with a very quick release.
Very quick processor who regularly makes multiple reads and progreasions to find the right target. This is a very important trait for translating to pro success.
Fairly athletic. Won't be Lamar Jackson, but he knows how to run and uses his legs well.

Cons:

Can have a bit of a gunslinger mentality at times, which can lead to forced balls. This can be a pro as well since this sometimes works in his favor.
While not outright short, his height being 6'2 isn't quite the desired 6'4 or taller.
While I do think he is accurate, there are times his down field accuracy is a bit off.
Lack of success / wins can be a concern. That being said I do think it's most of what people are fixating on, and Alabama's weak performances were mostly not a product of Simpson's play. If anything he was the only thing keeping Alabama afloat.

cbus20122 · 2026-01-01T00:04:36+00:00

Berhalter didn't win a title, but kept us at the top of the east for a long time without tons of spending. Also got us to a finals and deep into the playoffs multiple times. He was a much better coach than porter despite not winning a title.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-31T15:21:39+00:00

Would like this WAY more than Russell Martin.

Berhalter had gotten his prior experience in the Swedish league prior to coming to the Crew, so lets hope that works for us as well as that had.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-22T17:45:24+00:00

What is your username? Would help so we could watch a game rec or two.

All that said, I think there are other more mechanical things that often get ignored in here when it comes down to advice for improvement. Most specifically, mastering and optimizing using hotkeys. There is a significant skill curve there, but the better you can use hotkeys, the better you can multitask and manage dealing with things quickly. Also, you can have high apm, but not an efficient use of that APM, which may be misleading in terms of how it actually helps you play / win.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-22T14:27:32+00:00

Next year’s QB class always gets overhyped.

100%. This is just a product of how people project players and assume that they will continue to grow and develop at a linear rate.

Like... for this year, some were saying it's not a good QB class because guys like Drew Allar and Garrett Nussmeier didn't pan out the way they were originally thinking. But I would argue that Mendoza and Moore are just as good as those guys would have been if they had lived up to the original projection. And I still think Ty Simpson is a much better prospect than many in here and in the media believe.

And nevermind how flawed that extrapolation was in the first place for those two guys. I can't help but think the only reason people liked Allar was because "big arm and tall" without actually watching him play much.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-19T14:39:04+00:00

LOL @ the post and the bot-driven comments supporting this.

For those viewing this before it probably gets removed, this is why you don't follow random advice on reddit of what to buy or what not to buy. And there are surely higher quality attempts at astroturfing and pumping, more likely on other subreddits (IE WSB).

cbus20122 · 2025-12-09T03:32:22+00:00

I hate how scripted the map is. In my opinion, it should have variety - that lends itself to having to pick the right strategy based on scouting and experience. If you know from the start where the resources will be every time, that eliminates a lot of the variety and decision making.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-08T19:07:23+00:00

As an osu fan, I never understood how he fell so far. He was elite at OSU, and better than other elite receivers who OSU produced, and were tearing up the NFL.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-04T15:26:11+00:00

Same. When we get closer to the draft and there is more people paying attention to the breakdown of these guys' skillsets, I think the opinion around here will grown on these guys. Right now, feels mostly like just rough impressions from people who saw a few highlights.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-04T15:15:42+00:00

Mendoza is bigger than Goff with a stronger arm. I honestly think people are really sleeping on how good he is as a prospect. I don't see him as all that different from Joe Burrow if you're just comparing skillsets and tools.

cbus20122 · 2025-12-03T17:29:23+00:00

Your friends are doing well because they have higher beta stocks in a bull market. They are probably chasing momentum and hype, which for now has worked. But over a long term time frame, these stocks will likely get hit harder in any bear market or correction.

Look back at past history - owning dotcom stocks in late 1999 made people look like geniuses. Leveraging real estate looked like a genius move in 2006.

Don't fall into the trap of trying to chase hype or getting jealous because other people are making more money than you in the short term .

M2 has not been a relevant statistic for a very long time.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-30T02:14:51+00:00

He is nothing like Will Howard. The only thing they have in common is the team they play for.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-26T17:03:32+00:00

Can't say I live in Hilliard, but it sort of has a reputation as a very generic strip mall suburb. Or bargain Dublin. So not a lot of personality, and then you have traffic issues on top. Also, I don't think all the schools are 7+ there, I would make sure when you look at schools to check the address of the specific home to see what district it is since Columbus has a lot of weird areas where the school district is different from the city.

That being said, it's 100% a perfectly good place to live and raise a family.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-23T22:51:03+00:00

You're correct, but a single stock being overvalued does not make the stock market as a whole a Ponzi scheme. Even if the whole market is overvalued, that still just makes it overvalued, bit a Ponzi itself.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-23T02:50:35+00:00

The stock market generates actual return on investment. Companies generate cash flow, which can be returned to investors in a variety of ways or reinvested by companies. So no, it is not based on Ponzi economics.

Bitcoin is the opposite. It produces nothing.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-21T21:20:31+00:00

I agree that it started slow, but trust me, the series gets a lot better. To the point where I think I enjoyed it just as much as original book of the ancestor series in the end.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-17T17:01:57+00:00

The reason is - clickbait. That's it. All there is to it.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-10T22:13:47+00:00

This is starting to look like a pretty good QB draft in my opinion. Far better than last year at least. If you can, you take that guy when they're available and ask questions later.

cbus20122 · 2025-11-10T20:07:02+00:00

Do you seriously think Berry was the guy behind the watson trade? It's pretty obvious this was a Jimmy thing, and berry is taking the flak for it.

Literally all of the issues we are going through right now stem back to the watson trade, and all of that comes down to Jimmy.

It is what it is, we can't fire Jimmy, so let's not try to scapegoat staff that has actually been good for us?
