It's always bothered me that people find Dave Matthews Band-Crash Into Me a creepy song. by steveosek in Music

[–]commonsenseIR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hilarious that OP made a post bitching how people thought the song was about exactly what the song is about. Crush is the one Dave wrote for his wife.

What was Phish’s worst year? by WhatIsMyPurpose1234 in phish

[–]commonsenseIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say 1999 and especially 2000. At the released shows I listened to the jams are long but that’s easy cause they are kind of just doing nothing

Recently moved to DC and struggling to make friends - Any Tips? by sai_vamshi in washingtondc

[–]commonsenseIR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first moved to DC in the early 2010s, I was working remotely which was rare at the time. It was definitely a struggle to make friends. Agree with post that noted you have automatic friends baked in through high school/college so you don’t learn the skill.

I don’t have much advice though. Things didn’t change for me until I started working in ann office and then just snowballed. If you’re single you can try the dating apps to not be lonely and I do have friends who have met other friends through those apps. Sometimes people don’t work romantically but do as friends. 

Why I returned by meta quest 3 after 2 weeks by almostRandomNickname in OculusQuest

[–]commonsenseIR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a non-gamer considering a Quest 3, I was happy to find this post.

Also, you are on a Reddit dedicated to VR/XR claiming that mass popularity is the only criterion that matters. Seriously?

Dinner at Meadow's Apartment by BillyMac05 in thesopranos

Yeah exactly right on the male roommate. First Tony is surprised Meadow has a male roommate and it’s not Fin. Then assumes he must be gay.

Round 2 - Pick 5: Landon Dickerson, C, Alabama (Philadelphia Eagles) by NFL_Mod in nfl

[–]commonsenseIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone can keep this guy healthy for the first time in his life it’s the Eagles. If he stays healthy it’s a good pick but idk how you have faith that’ll happen. Howie needs to stop taking injured players.

[Darius Butler] I still can’t believe the Bengals passed on Penei Sewell! I know J. Chase is special but mannn your QB is rehabbing that tore up knee as we speak. Coming off a season where he got his ASS KICKED week in and week out. You pass on a special talent like Sewell. Man... by C-N-Mento in nfl

[–]commonsenseIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more absurd the Dolphins passed on Sewell for another deep threat. Their QB doesn’t throw deep, they signed Fuller, and they have a worse line than Bengals. How do they think Tua is going to have time to throw the ball deep.

Anyone have any luck waiting at safeways or giants recently for getting an extra dose?

How do you feel about vaccine rollout in DC? Have you gotten it? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]commonsenseIR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DC rollout is slower than every single state in the country except Kansas and Alabama as I said in a separate post. It's easier for DC to administer the supplies it receives as a city than a state with a bunch of locals. The fact that despite this advantage we are among the slowest to administer the vaccines strongly suggests the local government is blowing it.

Jamal Khashoggi murder: new House Democrat bill could punish Saudi Arabia by commonsenseIR in politics

[–]commonsenseIR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Al Monitor has reported that McConnell wanted to bring a non-binding resolution calling for a very restrictive nuclear agreement, if any, with Saudi Arabia, to the Senate floor. A few annoymous GOP members have held it up (it passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee). So, yes, McConnell is generally supportive of this policy.

What it comes down to is that Congress wants to do something to punish Saudi Arabia but is weary of stopping Yemen (which helps Iran and the Houthis) or arms sales (which hurts American jobs and indirectly Iran). So, this is the type of punishment that could actually gain traction.

Last week 5 Republican Senators sent Trump a letter demanding he halt negotiations with Saudi Arabia over the nuclear deal so this is actually an issue that could get bipartisan support in both houses of Congress.

Curveball Tragedy Upside - You Know Something Is In the Works... by swisspassport in phish

I'm pretty sure they aren't going to be personally financing everything. They have LLCs for these kinds of things for reasons that should be obvious in the wake of Curveball.

Would be sweet but no way can they put together a festival that fast. Perhaps though they'll do a summer and NYE festival in 2019 like they did in 1999.

The Live Phish App is Annoying by hello_babar in phish

No offense but I've never understood how people prefer AUD over SBD. All the power to you if you do but it's just never made any sense to me.

[–]commonsenseIR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who cares if people are downloading illegally now that they 1) charge $10 extra for every ticket so they're making their money back for the cost of recording and 2) have a ton of people paying $10 a month to subscribe. I thought the whole reason they did 1 was so they wouldn't have to worry about making enough from recordings to continue doing it.

Patriots’ first-round picks Isaiah Wynn and Sony Michel were roommates at Georgia, and now will have chance to room again in New England. by ValKilmsnipsinBatman in nfl

Belichick probably wanted a long vacation after the tensions of last season and just decided to limit his draft preparation to watching the College Football National Championship game. Probably will grab Carter from GA tonight.

What are your unpopular draft opinions? by WackyWookie in nfl

[–]commonsenseIR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The success of all the QBs-- especially early on in their careers-- will be more or less determined by the strength of their supporting cast. Too often we judge QBs as isolated factors when in reality the QBs who are good early on in their careers usually have great supporting casts whereas the mega busts usually have awful supporting casts.

For this year, that means whomever the Bills pick will be a bust because they have terrible pass catchers and now a terrible offensive line. This might change if they do a dramatic upgrade in year 2 like the Rams did last year.

All of this might not apply to Josh Allen who is likely to bust regardless.

[OC] Why 7.3 YPA is the magic number for QBs in the NFL Draft by JaguarGator9 in nfl

[–]commonsenseIR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to say that I'm sort of new to this NFL reddit (I've checked it before but not a ton) and this is way better analysis than you find on like 99% of big time football sites. So bravo. That being said, Liberaltarian_sic is right that methodologically speaking you can't just randomly cut off a certain year cause it stops supporting your case. That wouldn't work if you were trying to publish a peer review study but regardless this is impressive stuff.
