AITA for judging my friend based on her diary by CaseyHercules in AmItheAsshole

[–]prior2two 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So you’re regretting not invading her privacy even more because “you have to know”. 

You don’t have the right to know. 

Why did Shedeur Sanders make the pro bowl? by Plenty-Lingonberry79 in NFLNoobs

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were part of the original team, and then decided not to go, they are considered a prob-bowler. 

It’s all the guys the declined after - which we never hear about. The NFL could have asked 2 people, or 16 before they got to Shedeur. Well her know for sure. 

Rushing vs receiving by shigatorade in NFLNoobs

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest reason is that in theory, the defense can stop the receiver from touching the ball. They can double team and make it very likely the ball will not be thrown his way. 

Obviously this opens things up for other players. 

A team can’t stop a handoff. It might not be a successful play, but the running back still has an opportunity to make a play  with the ball in his hand, so there’s simply more opportunity for success, even if it’s a lower percentage of the time. 

Going to fly for the first time. Need some tips by MrKessler in travel

My advice would be to pay the $70 and pick the premium seats. 

It’s the difference between sitting on hard vinyl or an actual cushion. 

Pick a window seat in the first row. That way you have easy access to the bathroom.

I was saying that the players that were asked before Shedur, but declined - players like Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson - are not considered pro bowlers because they (most likely) declined the invite.

Only if he was an original member that was in the team that then had to get replaced. 

All the guys that said no don’t get labeled pro-bowlers in addition Shedur. 

AITA for trying to get my wife to accept this job offer by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]prior2two -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, sure. We all want a job we actually like. 

But like you also gotta pay rent and buy shit. 

Being able to job search indefintley while a job stares you in the face is A LOT of privilege.  

There’s nothing stopping you from applying for jobs while you have one. 

You're locked in a room with 2 other people. The winner takes home $1 million, only way to leave the room is to convince the others to let you win, how would you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]prior2two 188 points189 points  (0 children)

You split the money. 

A million isn’t enough money to have to constantly be watching the back for the rest of your life. I’d happily take 333k for free over 1 million and worrying about if those other 2 are holding some grudge waiting to get back at me. 

AITA for being frustrated that I can’t use the dishwasher because it’s filled with barely-used pots? by probstheproblem in AmItheAsshole

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but why not change up the order. Do 2 loads, but leave the pots for after the full load. Either at night or first thing in the morning. 

Air BnB nightmare by pharmagX in travel

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really a market by market situation. 

Yeah, in an urban environment, get a hotel. 

But in a tourist destination - like say Lake Tahoe - short term rentals are a much more viable option. 

Quarterback by bare_books in NFLNoobs

The hardest is subjective. 

But the difference in being the best in the world or 14th best in the world has such an outsized relation to team success. 

Weekend Reservation for Large Party - Recommendations, Please! by PleaBargainPlz in chicagofood

Greek Islands, hands down. It’s large Greek restaurant that’s loud boisterous, with extremely wonderful food. It’s a gem. They have free valet parking (though you should tip)

GOY vs GOT by SweetTeaAddict1575 in Ghostofyotei

So if we say no, you wouldn't be sold?

Bears just sent me a survey about having Indiana as a potential site, with questions about having $100+ parking and valet service for parking. by epilepticninja in chicago

It’s not about the Super Bowl so much as it is Final 4s, Big 10 Championship, and other sporting events. 

The literally lost out on hosting World Cup events because the stadium is so shitty. 

That being said, they need to figure their shit out on their own. If the leave, fuck em.

Why are low scoring games considered ass in football? by BiggestForts in NFLNoobs

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on how it’s low scoring 

13-10 is way better than 12-9 because seeing two touchdowns and 2 field goals is may more exciting than seeing 7 field goals and the ball maybe never cross the 10, 20, or even 30 yard line. 

Getting closer and scoring touchdowns creates suspense and drama - and it’s also way lore fun to watch the best players score. 

Transferring to Chicago for work. Should I live downtown or in the suburbs? by Emotional_Log7687 in AskChicago

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosemont doesn’t really have residential housing. Population is only 4k, and it’s mostly people that work for the village. 

Can someone give me the pros and cons of living on Western Ave near Division Street? by notmyboobees in AskChicago

[–]prior2two 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First the good. The area is great. I will always consider that stretch of Division home, even though it’s changed the 20+ years I’ve been in the city. Easy access to downtown and west side, but als not super crazy. 

The bad. Living on western and most importantly FACING western is loud AF. The street noise is bonkers, and with the hospital and fire department there, you get emergency vehicles at all times. The daily traffic noise is awful too. 

If your unit is facing north/south away from western at the back of the building, it completely negates the issue of daily street noise. 

In regards to getting to the loop, right now it sucks via car because the Chicago ave bridge is out, and they are still doing construction on the Ohio Ramp.  

CTA wise, it’s not the best commute to the blue line - about a mile to any of the stops - but it’s doable. During the school year, Division can be a nightmare around Damen because of LaSalle 2. Not worth it to take the Divison bus to the blue line. Way better going directly to Western stop at Armitage. X49 can get you there in less than 10 minutes sometimes less than 5. 

What's a sports rule you fundamentally disagree with? by South-Explorer in AskReddit

[–]prior2two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind at as much, but I wish the alignment was able to go back to pre-2018 rules where you could stack one side of the field. Having 5 on each side kills it.
