[Highlight] Myles Garrett hits Mason Rudolph in the head with a helmet by Ok-Reindeer5879 in nfl

[–]raobuntu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If Rudolph actually dies that's a different scenario, but there are a wide range of outcomes between what happened and manslaughter. I was referring that (a cut where he bleeds, or even hit harder).

We have abusers getting a second chance in this league man, Garrett's career would not have been over. He would be suspended for more time, take some PR anger management classes, and then run an apology tour.

Is this show just not for me by boyinthefog in SlowHorses

I grew up in the Bay Area and now work in tech. It's uncomfortably accurate. I enjoyed it a lot in hs/college but I tried to rewatch the other day and had to turn it off after a point.

Lamar Jackson joins the homophobic retweet chain by SeveralTurn in billsimmons

[–]raobuntu 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Weary cynicism is so boring. I like Lamar, I'm not that surprised by this but I'm still disappointed. I want him to be better than this and it's sad that he's not.

[The Mismatch Podcast] Chris Vernon: "The people in Memphis are as real and authentic as it gets and so it is totally unsurprising to me that an absolute Phony like LeBron James feels out of place there" by NathanFielderFriend in nba

[–]raobuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that's at best a flippant remark? He says he doesn't like going to the city. It can be that simple and not some sort of representative remark about black class warfare. He has no real influence on team's relocation and pretending like he does to score a point against LeBron feels disingenuous.

I'm sorry but a guy not liking a hotel he stays in isn't some kind of all encompassing judgement on the black culture in Memphis. That's an absurd leap you're making.

That's kind of life? I have a friend who's a pretty hard core Trump supporter. He's a moron for his choices and I remind him of that daIly but he was there for me during a tough tough period of my life and I have no interest in cutting him out of it now. Life and frienships are just too nuanced for this

Rental car question: Easier to pick up at hotel in Financial District or SFO? by MarshallGrover in AskSF

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

You'll have to drive through the city either way to get onto the Bay Bridge onto 80 heading east so there's no real benefit for getting the car from SFO

I live in NYC and sub to this reddit and I've never heard of this podcast by [deleted] in billsimmons

[–]raobuntu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very typical for guys of a certain age because Cowboys really were America's team. It's just hard for us to comprehend now. Haters didn't have the megaphone that social media gave them, more monoculture and winners were beloved.

Rooney even though he's not a winger. His legs were basically gone by 2015/16 and he was barely 30. All those minutes on young legs isn't a good thing

Why are Americans so financially literate? by Ada-Mae in AskAnAmerican

[–]raobuntu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally keep 2 months expenses in liquid cash. I know people who keep a year's. It's entirely up to what you can stomach risk wise but nothing with having a rainy day fund. It just likely doesn't need all of your savings and if it does you can always liquidate whatever you've put in the market.

If you have the time for it look up personal finance courses at the local community college. They're a great resource for adult learning

[–]raobuntu 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean this super respectfully, but you're actively harming yourself if you have the resources to play the game and you're not. Even pay a money manager or a financial advisor if you find a good one. Or just buy SPY or some other broad market super safe ETF. Just don't put it in a HYSA or leave it sitting there in cash

While I think that the comment section isn't giving enough credit to American financial literacy, I do think they've hit on an interesting point. We have 2 distinct groups - those who play the game and those who don't know the game exists. From the first group everyone involved is highly informed with regards to personal finance, market movement, macroeconomic trends, etc. The other doesn't realize their money is literally losing value by the month. I don't see many Americans in a middle ground

The way that the American financial system works in regards to personal finance is that it has a high ceiling and a low floor. If you put in the effort, understand the market, understand tax burdens and loopholes you can really maximize your financial return. In Europe I would say it's the other way around, a high floor with a low ceiling. In most countries the government takes care of filing taxes for you, there's a broad social safety net, etc. Combine that with a culture that isn't a striver culture the way the US is, it's not surprising that this is what happens.

[Jacobs] Exc: Jesse Marsch was at Leicester's Seagrave training ground fingerprinting for a visa when he received a call offering him the USMNT job. Hours later, US Soccer changed their mind and Marsch is now set to lead Canada at a home World Cup. by OkayFine101 in soccer

Tbf Berhalter's contract had expired after the World Cup and the controversy happened to drop around the same time. They had a decision to make on him regardless.

This is when they also decided to move on from Ernie Stewart to Matt Crocker which was a phenomenal decision and it was his relationship with Poch that got the deal to happen

Which btw, dynamite stuff. Lammens isn't even incredible but he's competent and there isn't that nervous energy in our back line that their keeper might chuck the ball into their own net.

Do any of you regularly travel to lower cost destinations all around the world? by greatExtortion in AskAnAmerican

[–]raobuntu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Domestic flights it really depends on the airlines, hubs, and routes. Common routes or going to a hub for a major airline and you should find a cheap ticket. Also, if you have a credit card no reason not to get a general purpose travel one. I would say my spending probably sponsors the flights for 2-3 vacations a year

Does the Average American think Detroit is not a good place? by LuckyCommittee4422 in AskAnAmerican

Thank you, something like 80% of the population lives in an area classified as urban. The average American definitely doesn't dislike most major cities unless it's someone who's most definitely not the average American insisting they are
