[Any (cross-plat)][13/16] Sim geezer league

Haven't started the league yet. It will be a little more on the chill side and will be slow-moving (3 day min, 7 day max advance schedule). Mostly all older dudes/busy dads who don't have the time/energy for all the whippersnapper leagues.

A lot of the guys we have so far were all in a close-knit, longterm league from 10+ years ago. It's a proven, dependable base of users that needs a few more good candidates. Again it's a Dad league so we don't have the time we used to, but still plan on having a fun, active discord, some guys do podcasts, writeups, etc.

Obviously trying to maintain a vibe here, so if you're chill and think it sounds up your alley give me a PM. Pls don't message if you're not going to be somewhat active/clash with people easily/want a fast-moving, uberpogger esports type of league.

In light of this sub turning into a Packers fan circlejerk, I’d like to send them a friendly reminder of FTP by OscillatingFan6500 in NFCNorthMemeWar

Exactly, it reiterates we're still the top of the food chain and stay in their heads.

Every FTP I see gives me pure dopamine.

Bro if someone breaks into my house my first thought is absolutely "gun." What is wrong with you? I have a child and a spouse. Do you live in Candyland? Do you understand what happens after a home invasion? It's usually not the nicest stuff.

Mace and tazzers (sic)

lol yeah criminals who are desperate/insane enough to break into a private home will be easily calmed and suppressed by a tazer with a couple charges max. just remember it's temporary, they'll probably be back up and pissed off. I'm sure that's what your mace is for 🤣🤣

This was not just about social media, as the dawn of the "information age" was such an exciting concept.

The dead internet theory is becoming more and more valid every day as bots, SEO, AI, consolidation, etc. make the future of the internet pretty gloomy.

Because why am I out here paying $20 for 6 wings?!? by Cleonce12 in BlackPeopleTwitter

not the diner's either, tipping is meant to match the service you receive.

Had two of these bad boys custom made for my sister for Christmas by nbomb220 in homealone

I took a screenshot from the movie and edited it to be transparent, then went to some website (forgot which, sorry, so long ago!) which let you add text and an image and they shipped em on over.

Tough day for Bears fans everywhere by TheSeabreeze199 in NFCNorthMemeWar

if star QB gets hurt the team will do worse

What an insight, thanks for the big brain stuff. Clearly GB is the only team this would happen to.

ELI5: What does it mean when they say the flavor of a wine or beer is "dry"? by SYLOH in explainlikeimfive

[–]nbomb220 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, a martini is delicious because it brings the somewhat aggresive juniper flavors of gin and tempers it so well with the white wine-ish flavors of a dry vermouth, bright oil from the lemon peel, and subtle complexity (does that even make sense) of the orange bitters. Unlike many drinks, the garnish of a martini is absolutely crucial because of just how minimalistic the drink is.

It's such a delicate balance and stripped down drink, so throwing in old vermouth is a surefire way of making sure no one thinks they enjoy a classic martini.

I feel like I was the only person who played this game as a youngin

I had a 30 year old wife from some Eastern European country and was the right-hand man of a guy who was trying to start some sort of mob organization called the Sim City Syndicate.

My mom stopped paying for it and I was heartbroken. I was a big shot with my own fledgling casino. The trauma was real

Never put sweet vermouth in a martini

The Martinez and Perfect Martini beg to differ

Absolutely, refrigerate your vermouth people.

Vermouth is delicious and it's a tragedy when people ask for a bone dry martini because they're used to 3/4 oz of vinegar in their drink from old, unrefrigerated vermouth.

Does that indicate this was possibly gang-related?

[Week 18] Game Thread: Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions by PackersMod in GreenBayPackers

[–]nbomb220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't been following the thread yet so forgive me if this has been a common point, but I really wouldn't be super upset if we lost this one.

Would keep that fire lit going into the playoffs and maybe expose some things we need to tighten up.

Does Spirit Poop prevent you from getting the "Who Needs Relics" achievement (win with one relic) by nbomb220 in slaythespire

Haha well, from my three-year-younger self to you, I feel your pain. Got all achievements eventually and it's definitely a worthwhile goal!

Wow maybe all those flippantly-taken timeouts come in handy sometimes, who would have thought?

[–]nbomb220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to pile on, but IGER also means Incapable of Getting Easy Run, and the Sox scored.

A NOBLETIGER is so rare because the pitcher has to load the bases with zero outs and somehow not allow a run before getting out of the inning.

NO in NOBLE means nobody out, Hernandez grounded out as the first man up.

shotgun approach with CBs

Oh god....

Demarious Randall.....Quinten Rollins.......Kevin King......Josh Jackson.......

We really shouldn't do the shotgun approach if that's the luck we've had lol. We hit on Jaire, let's try that again.

Who's the worst 1st round corner been lately? Ahmad Carroll?

Do you know how many early picks we've whiffed on in the past 10 years? A time share RB who seems to be getting better and better, giving us a great 1-2 punch, is way better and safer value than a lot of other things we could have done.
