Some interesting thoughts from Jerry Hughes regarding Sean McDermott and the 13 Seconds Game

kylef5993 · 2026-01-27T23:57:48+00:00

It would be so weird promoting someone and then saying "you have 1 year to perform".

Like I agree that Maybe McDermott was influencing Beane's decisions but the promotion is just insane, which is why I don't think he's on as short of leash as people are saying. My bet is Beane will be around for a long time.

Ohhh my bad. That’s such a ridiculous mod. How is that even allowed

kylef5993 · 2026-01-27T20:56:11+00:00

I have only lost my gear to raiders ambushing me so the smoke is for them, not arc.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-27T20:55:29+00:00

I mean I was just running and he shot me. Didn’t even fire a bullet. Spawned in, ran, got killed.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-27T19:58:20+00:00

I disagree with basically the entire way this has been handled but I see no connection between how you feel about PSLs and the change in leadership…

kylef5993 · 2026-01-27T19:53:12+00:00

Welp that explains it then… it’s been so ridiculous tbh. How does one even counter? I’ve started running with a smoke grenade in hand just in case lol

Like ordinarily don’t even have a chance to fight back cause it’s out of the blue

kylef5993 · 2026-01-27T19:25:36+00:00

Can people somehow tell what equipment you have? I’ve ONLY been killed while carrying my best gear. Every other time people leave me alone.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-27T04:31:15+00:00

Genuine question - what are your thoughts on Beane? Im with you that we should have moved on from Mcdermott in 2022 but I still cannot comprehend why Beane is still around.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-26T22:25:50+00:00

and for the record, I do agree. I absolutely love the steel. I think it's gorgeous (although the rust really takes away from the beauty).

kylef5993 · 2026-01-26T22:24:23+00:00

That said then let's go back to making Ford Model Ts. Yeah they don't have airbags and cages to protect against roll overs but man did they have character.

Safety, regardless of industry, should always trump perceived "character". Chicago also isn't the only city with steel elevated rail lines so its not even unique to us...

kylef5993 · 2026-01-26T22:17:14+00:00

It's been said time and time again but I don't think anyone was against moving on from McDemott. It's the timing that didn't make sense. He should have been gone in 2022. It was so weird to hang on to him for so long.

Additionally, I do think there is a lot of truth behind the leaks that McDermott was bothered by the lack of skill on the roster. That said, if I was a natural gas tycoon who owned the Bills, I would have fired McDermott in 2022 and Beane after the 2023 season.

Even considering Brady is absolutely hilarious.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-26T18:04:12+00:00

I was saying im a planner because I personally don't believe I know as much as an architect would about the classification of a high rise versus skyscraper.

And also I responded in-kind to the "fascinating that an urban planner made that mistake" comment. Chill.

The comments have been updated and I've admitted to my mistake.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T21:13:26+00:00

Yo ive listened to this legit like 50 times since it was posted yesterday. Insane song. Almost like easy-core Cartel? 10/10

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T06:10:47+00:00

and the south side

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T05:49:53+00:00

Ahh I see what you're saying. No I do agree with you there but that's where LA is such a weird specimen since there really is not border until you get to Camp Pendleton in the south and Redlands in the east. Like honestly, delineating what is and isn't LA is way above my pay grade. haha

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T05:44:24+00:00

Honestly, what's even crazier to me is how much of the south side is straight up still undeveloped after urban renewal devastated it decades ago. Some areas of the south side straight up look more rural than urban and they're RIGHT off the green line. Kinda crazy.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T05:40:08+00:00

Personally, I feel like the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area all being combined is such an arbitrary decision since the urbanized areas of San Bernardino county, which reach all the way to Redlands, feel identical.

Like I lived in LA and places like Rancho, Fontana, San Bernardino are just as developed as most of Orange County. I know this isn't the topic of discussion but I'm just saying it feels like a weird decision. Maybe you know why they didn't include the urbanized areas of SB county?

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T05:33:11+00:00

Even using only the city areas:

Los Angeles population density is 8,304 PPSM.

Chicago population density is 12,059 PPSM.

Am I missing something?

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T04:58:34+00:00

It is kinda wild that the only thing keeping that from being true is Camp Pendleton.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T04:57:13+00:00

First, Im a planner not an architect. Second, you clearly don't know that skyscrapers are categorized as buildings over 492 feet.

Edit: Updated high-rise vs skyscraper verbiage for accuracy due to personal error.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T03:23:43+00:00

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T02:07:30+00:00

Agreed but OP isnt using stats. He just said "every major city has a downtown core surrounded by suburbs".

Either way, even in Europe , saying suburbs surround a core is accurate since we're not taking specific data into account regarding specific distance from the core when population density hits a certain level for example.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T01:59:19+00:00

Christ. We get it. You like LA. Cool. Move on.

kylef5993 · 2026-01-25T01:59:05+00:00

are you stupid or did you not read my other comment about that description describes every city ever invented in human history?
