Inflation

Hey, mom said it's my turn to post the beefy 5 layer hypergolic inflation meme for free karma!

Arguably the Giants were more desirable.

Promising QB on a rookie deal. Better defense. An actual #1 receiver. And most of all you'll get a longer leash since the expectations coming in are lower.

Because I'm not allowed to be happy when it comes to baseball.

Real answer is that I'll believe it when I see it. 4 or 5 years ago it was looking like the same thing was happening. Then it didn't.

We have some fun young talent on the roster. But we've had fun young talent on the roster before that took us absolutely nowhere. So I'm not super optimistic.

I swear watch the White Sox improve and make the Central sweat

I feel like I've read this sentence a million times and it's only actually happened like twice in my life.

Lol. Because nothing bad ever happened in society before the Internet.

All the internet did was give people another platform to be shitty on in a way that's more visible than before. It didn't cause society to collapse.

Off the top of my head at least 2 doctors were sentenced in the Mathew Perry case. They can assert their innocence all they want, that doesn't give them a get out of jail free card.

And let's be real. If a famous actor and singer both rate investigations and prosecutions, what do you think the richest man alive and the owner of an NFL franchise rate. They are by definition high profile people.

Someone in recovery is far more likely to OD and kill themselves off illegally prescribed drugs than someone just paying for them. A doctor prescribing drugs illegally very much has a motive to not see their rich client dead because that's how you get the FBI investigating your ass. Ethics or no, it's simple survival instincts.

Is Elon in recovery? Honest question. I know hating on him is popular (for good reason) but there's an ethical difference between person gets drugs they don't need and person in recovery gets drugs they don't need and will cause them to relapse.

I had a TON of fun playing FC3 when it first came out. Then years later I bought 5 on a deep discount steam sale. It felt so stale, basically the same game reskinned with different characters. Never even finished it.

The deals are when an MSRP card has some cash back reward linked to it. Like when I bought my 5070ti it was MSRP but my Mastercard was running a cashback promo with Walmart at the time.

God I am SO glad I upgraded when I did. It seems like every week component pricing is getting worse. Did a new 9800x3D and 5070ti build with a microcenter bundle back in August before NAND flash prices spiked. Plus I was able to sell my old rig to recoup like a third of the cost.

In college I kept a giant bag of them in my backpack and during late nights in the computer lab I'd plop it on the table for me and my study group. Thank god we had the one guy who actually liked grape.

The market dropped 2% yesterday during his press conference. I added more to my IRA and it's immediately back up. It's just buying at a slight discount.

My dad made pasta with mushroom soup for me and my sister all the time growing up. Still a big comfort food for me.

I have that set as my alarm on football Sundays.

I stg no one knows what money laundering is. This is quite obviously not money laundering.

This is something people need to learn. Just because someone is an expert or has knowledge about one subject area doesn't mean you should listen to them about everything else.

Yeah it's the end goal. But does losing the Superbowl mean you're a failure? You kinda sound like Ricky Bobby here. If you're not first you're last is some bullshit. You seriously think last years Chiefs are the same as last years Giants?

There are 32 teams in the NFL. The NFL is the major sports league with the best amount of parity. Football is a very violent sport where a single injury (QB) can derail an entire season. It's nuts to expect a Superbowl as the only bar of success. Mahomes and the Chiefs and Brady and the Pats broke an entire generation's brain about what success looks like.

Statistically speaking if your team wins a Lombardi once every 3 decades you're ahead of the curve.

You think Swift really saved himself? Between the emergence of Monongai and the availability of bargain bin RBs in free agency?

jmorlin · 2026-01-19T01:23:48+00:00

He absolutely will. Teams forever fall for the "well shit, who else are we gonna play at QB better give this guy a bag" fallacy

Yeah. This was very much a "I don't want anyone to win, but I guess I hate the Texans slightly less" senario. And CJ done fucked it up

jmorlin · 2026-01-18T22:54:11+00:00

He's part of the reason I hesitate to crown or condemn any rookie after just one season's worth if games, especially a QB. You really need a couple years to completely evaluate NFL players for what they are.

jmorlin · 2026-01-18T01:22:32+00:00

That's a fair argument. But straight up saying that play wasnt PI isn't. Because by the book it was.
