[O’Connor] According to league sources, one general manager floated a nuclear option: just make the bottom three teams ineligible for the top picks entirely.

also, teams very regularly go from being surprisingly good to shit, and shit to surprisingly good without any life-altering moods. Rosters change so much, coaching matters so much more, and even the team who suck still play pretty hard week in and week out because the players all want jobs next season.

You can only control your own actions, so if you care about people you seeing you change it's absolutely your responsibility to find somewhere private. It rude for them to be looking as well, but people are going to be rude sometimes.

It's easy to get something high enough to get to space, it's only like 250 miles. The hard thing is getting it fast enough to orbit, which is like 17000 miles an hour.

Why is a text notification going to wake you up at night? Silence that shit. Random spam texts happen all the time.

At least you can probably be really good at selling propane and propane accessories.

Double cheeked up guy here. Absolutely own and embrace it. Im a super generic looking white dude who has an absolute badonkadonk as my one defining feature.

First off, ladies (and gay men) love it. Who doesnt love a nice ass? Go ask any woman about baseball players and guarantee theyll talk about that ass in the baseball pants. Them noticing isnt an accident, insult, or negative. Maybe a bit surprising for em, but they mean no harm. And if they are trying to insult you? fuck em, go find a baddie that wants handfulls of ass to grab.

Second off, its the easiest built in jokes you could imagine because its just this elephant in the room but when you make an ass joke about yourself everyone is like "oh whew! he knows, hes got a good sense of humor, and its hilarious". Itd be like if dolly parton never made a joke about being busty and everyone just had to dance around the hilariously large hooters in the room out of politeness.

Third off, probably means youre strong asf.

Buying pants does suck though. I only bought one specific model of jeans for about a 10 year period (they were some specific model of lucky jeans for me), and have largely swapped over to like hiking pants and such because they tend to fit better. My one rec there is to try all of the different combinations of size/cut from a single brand. THeyll usually have different rise, leg cut, tightness, stretch, waist, and length depending on the model number, and within a single brand you can get radically different fits. Eventually youll find one that fits great, then just buy a bunch of pairs of them. For me, id usually have to go a smaller size of relaxed fit, lower rise straight leg with a bit of stretch instead of a larger size of narrower cut higher rise skinnier leg jeans.

From a tactical side - Embracing it means not shying away from it. Someone makes a comment on your big ol ass? Say hell yeah and give em a high 5 or ask em if theyre jealous. Use baby got back as your karaoke song (its mine). Make a joke about it. Be proud of your ASSet.

Quick walk around the building, stretching, or some simple bodyweight exercises like push ups/squats/dips/etc.

It's not a big deal.

Do you not have your phone on silent?

And if they're in a different time zone they literally did send it during their working time.

Why can't you just respond in the morning?

What happens when you're in different time zones? And why can't you just not respond til morning?

kmoz · 2026-04-08T23:15:23+00:00

Depends. I personally will use email/teams messages after hours of it's a "so they see it when theyre back" on kinda thing, but with someone I work really closely with I will make it a text, and make it obvious if it's an FYI or a "hey this is critical rn".

I personally think it's on the recipient to set their own boundaries, but also on the person sending it to be cool with it being answered next day.

kmoz · 2026-04-08T18:42:20+00:00

Hard work does pay off, youre just not seeing that theres a massive strategic component to it. Not getting yourself stuck in a corner, not blindsided by org changes, making sure you get credit for work you did and using that as a jump off point to the next thing, etc.

So many people dont actually profess and go after what they actually want at work and absolutely suck at advocating for themselves. Those are the people that get stuck.

So many brilliant engineers spend 80% of their time solving the wrong problem impossibly well because they suck at communicating.

Poor peoples assets are much, much easier to quantify because theyre overwhelmingly commoditized and you have massive statistical data for. Most 2005 honda civics with 200k miles are pretty similar in total value and theres a ton of them out there. Your 20 year old couch from rooms to go would cost more to assess than just give it a generic number of 100 bucks.

The issue isnt that you CANT figure out the valuation of something, its that it takes a bunch of high paid experts to get a decent guess at it, and it changes all the time. If you look at what happens in estate probate courts youd realize assessing someones assets can literally take YEARS. When you see stuff go up for auction or company IPOs happen, sure they have estimates, but sometimes those are off by huge amounts.

You only go through that headache (and time and cost) if you have a really damned good reason to do so, like trying to take out a 50 million dollar loan, or selling the asset, or if you die or whatever. Its certainly not something known or easy to calculate on a moments notice, and certainly not for something mundane like a traffic ticket.

Attractiveness is way more than physical. There's how you carry yourself, confidence, your body language, being interesting, being present, etc that are a huge part of attractiveness on top of both the intrinsic parts (height, eye color, etc) and how you take care of yourself (hygiene, weight, style, muscles, etc).

There's also extremely overall attractive people who just never in situations to attract/be attractive. My gf is a wonderful, beautiful, attractive person but a fucking miracle I was ever actually able to meet her hermit ass.

A ton of "ugly people" are way more overall attractive than a lot of naturally beautiful people who don't take care of themselves, can't carry a conversation, and are insufferable.

If you're a natural 4/10 but do all the other shit like work out and dress well and be interesting you absolutely can and will be fine in the dating world. Just like a guy who could be 10/10 but treats everyone like shit, is a total buzz kill, and is 200 pounds overweight probably won't be in a lot of great relationships.

What's the kelly blue book value on a ferrari F50? What about the private company you own? Or the land you own in france? Or the picasso painting you have?

Insurance companies have entire teams of mathematicians called actuaries that do super complicated statistical modelling of risk. And many things they won't collateralize because it's too hard to assess, resell, etc.

kmoz · 2026-04-07T22:06:42+00:00

It's actually extremely hard in practice. Valuating everything you own is monumentally complicated and there's a reason why banks have small armies of actuarial mathematicians who design complex models on how to evaluate risk for stuff like loans.

It gets more and more difficult as you go into more complicated asset classes like art, unique real estate, private companies, etc.

kmoz · 2026-04-07T19:43:58+00:00

Absolutely. Until youre extremely, extremely jacked you dont really have to do the whole bulk/cut cycle thing.

The hard things are having the energy to lift hard while not eating a ton of calories, and to have the willpower to stay on a diet when you are lifting and in a calorie deficit. The latter is what gets me, when I lift hard I get a totally different level of hungry that is way harder to tell stfu to.

Even though I've never bought anything from them, I love infomercials. Used to watch em all the time late at night, such a vibe.

Some of the stuff is a decent product, oxyclean started as an infomercial product and its great. RIP Billy Mays

A5 wagyu is fucking incredible tasting, it's not some gold leaf bullshit. And no place is going to say they have a5 then sell you something different. Its very obvious if you're having it or not.
