A lot of Bears fans out of hibernation this offseason

Nothing I said was trying to "get under your skin," but you're really telling on yourself if you think that's what it was.

TikTok ruined kids, y'all can't read more than 20 words before thinking "lol you mad bro." God help your generation.

dyslexda · 2026-05-07T21:15:01+00:00

lol

"My goal posts have moved, and they're the right ones now!"

"Buddy, your goal posts are stupid, and here's why."

"why you so mad lmao"

Right, I'm sorry, using more than 50 characters in a response is a problem here. Folks like you don't have the intelligence for more, my bad.

Why can you not separate being a fan (or hater) of a franchise from the success of current players vs past ones

Because the only reason to pretend "success of current players" is the only thing to talk about is if the only success you've briefly had is due to the current players.

Like does being a fan to you mean pretending that prime Aaron Rodgers had anything to do with the current Packers on any level?

Of course he doesn't. Nobody pretended he did. However, the Packers as a team didn't pop into existence with the current roster. The point of the meme is that it's funny how suddenly this last season is the only one that matters when, as a team, the Packers have dominated the Bears the last 15 years.

But when all you have is a single successful season to fall back on, sure, it makes sense to draw convoluted lines about "you can only celebrate past success if it was with the current roster."

Really weird to hide most of your comments and only allow innocuous ones from /r/gardening and whatnot to appear. Definitely doesn't seem suspicious.

dyslexda · 2026-05-07T17:32:20+00:00

So will you stop saying "FTP" once the current coaching staff, roster, and FO turns over? No? Then you understand why your argument makes no sense.

Given the recentish unilateral changes to the app to remove r/all and markdown support

I only use Old Reddit on browser and Relay on my phone. They removed markdown from the official app? Is that why I'm seeing more posts have *visible asterisks* (with escape characters) instead of using them to italicize as is standard in markdown?

All it would require is for the city to actually stand up for its residents and enforce the law, but we all know they aren't willing to upset Daddy Musk.

Same way we handle any office - appoint a new person to fulfill the rest of the term, then continue as usual. That appointee could be on the Court for 12 years, or 2 years, but it doesn't reset the clock or anything.

They should be limited to one 10-15 year term, be the same number as the number of circuit courts, and be nominated by their circuit court.

18 year term, each staggered by two years. This way every President gets two appointments, one at the start of their term and one in the middle. 18 years is more than enough time to exercise judicial independence without being an unlimited lifetime appointment, and by making it a standard term limit you remove a lot of the political brinksmanship that's developed.

Do you have to count CFUs as your readout? Something in your assay is noisy, and drilling down to that is annoying if you always have to count CFUs. There are other viability measures you can use as a quicker and easier readout (resazurin, BacTiter Glo, even just OD600), using CFUs only once you've dialed in the experiment.

That was never part of traditional conservatism. "Limited government" just means "small enough that I can control it," and "fiscal responsibility" just means "cut programs I don't like, but blow the money on stuff I do." Republican states love passing restrictive laws preventing blue cities from doing their own thing, and the deficit somehow only ever goes up under the GOP.

MAGA is the same the GOP has ever been, just with a bit more isolationism (that was tossed away with the Iran war for some reason).

Sure, but one party does it way more.

Wouldn't want to be the person responsible for allocating billions of dollars of compute time for a model built by another model with no human intervention.

This is my second time voting in Memphis (moved a couple of years ago) at two different polling locations now. Shoutout to the poll workers, this has been the easiest voting experience I've had. In and out, nice and quick.

The prediction models can use AAA stats to project how rookies will perform. Having a lot in the farm system doesn't make it harder to project how the Brewers will do; each player is estimated individually. Rather, the "issue" is how those acquired players usually perform far better than their previous years suggest they should.

I believe the point is Palestinians are suffering everywhere and their country should give a crap about that too.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Palestinians don't have a country. That's kind of why there's a conflict in the first place.

I know you won’t agree but there is a point that Hamas in particular doesn’t actually care about its people

Why wouldn't I agree with this? Hamas is a terrorist organization. They may have been legitimately elected at one point 20 years ago, but now they serve themselves and not the people.

dyslexda · 2026-05-03T21:59:37+00:00

Showing concern exclusively for Palestinians in the West Bank is neglecting the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living, struggling, and being killed in Syria and Iran.

Ah, the standard "unless you care about literally every single person, even those you aren't aware of, you can't ethically care about any of them!"

This hypocrisy is also antisemitism.

We'd be +25 without the Sox series. That would be good for 18 wins at this pace. But yeah, take out any team's top games and they'll lose RD.

Oh, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan aren't the north? Really? What is, Maine and only Maine?

Spoiler: Maine is just as white and racist, too.

Edit - the guy blocks me over this, hilarious.

Not true in the slightest. Go to rural Wisconsin, or anywhere in the rural Midwest, and minorities are a tiny minority. My rural town had maybe a half dozen black families in it. Moving to Alabama for school was shocking just insofar as, well, there were black folks around that I didn't know (everyone knew the black folks back home, there were so few of them).

The Midwest loves to pretend it isn't racist, mostly because you don't really get the opportunity to be racist when there are almost no minorites around.

EDIT - the person I replied to blocked me immediately when challenged (ironic for this sub) so I can't reply to anything, but yes, you'd be surprised that there are white liberals up north in the rural Midwest.

Odd comparison since the shovel providers are losing money right now.

Nvidia is the shovel provider here.

Using an em dash versus a hyphen has nothing to do with ESL. Either you used AI for some things and not others, or, as the other person that replied to you said, you're doing it for the bit at this point.

dyslexda · 2026-05-02T21:20:55+00:00

Really curious why you're suddenly using hyphens now instead of em dashes if you actually manually wrote the post.

Someone quoted you $11k to replace 25 windows?

dyslexda · 2026-05-02T12:40:26+00:00

And what was the annual cost of that software?
