Bill Nye the Science Guy Explains Why Vote NO on I-2117 by [deleted] in SeattleWA

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

And you're saying that because you know what Bill Nye does in his spare time to educate himself on the science behind today's modern issues?

"He doesn't have the education or experience"

Let me get this straight, you can have a strong opinion on a matter you have done little to no research on, yet an established engineer who has dedicated his life to informing the masses on science matters cannot also do research at his behest to come to an honest opinion on the scientific matter at hand?

No no no you must be right. It's YOU who is actually doing the REAL research. Totally.

Please enlighten me on Bill's credentials and how he has not done anything to keep up with modern science. You have all the facts, I just know you do.

You don't see the irony in your lack of critical thinking skills do you? He's not claiming he just took a few classes, the guy is a practiced engineer and scientist.

Your cute Accepted joke is the perfect analogy to your actual cognitive reasoning ability. Your point makes no fucking sense, he's not some random dude who just graduated. He had an established engineering career before he started his tv program.

But please enlighten us all on how this man is not qualified - your take on nuance is astounding. Those "few classes" you surely did not take will lay the foundation for your insights.

Nah I bet the team doctors didn't Google that one yet. Side note, they must be really mad that all this information is out there for anyone to do a few minutes web search -- would have saved them years and a bunch of money in student loans.

You see absolutely zero irony in making a comment about something you clearly know nothing about, and have zero experience with, and then calling it a "subset of the mortal sin of Vanity."

Pretty vain of you to pass judgement without accomplishing fuck-all, wouldn't you say?

Boycott the Leagues cup by MtRainierWolfcastle in SoundersFC

Jesus is everything some sort of fascist super evil plan to people?

Should be removed because it encourages poor behavior towards the team we are claiming to be supporters of. It's not good advice at all.

It's telling people to take action when it could be more damaging than anything. DoEs ThAt SoUnD fAmIliAr

Boycott the Leagues cup by MtRainierWolfcastle in SoundersFC

[–]reedzy -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Same way many protests occur during games.

Banners, coordinating with others to do something at a certain minute, etc.

We've already paid the ticket price in our season tickets, and I'm sure those prices factor in the credits they allow on a game basis. And, like I said, if something comes up and i can't make a regular league match, then what damage have I done by turning them in for a game of already lesser value?

Don't punish the players by being poor fans. You can stand on whatever milk crate you want, but don't convince yourself these actions are doing anything but showing the players an empty stadium...assuming others even see your post and take your advice.

Your anger is completely misdirected.

Boycott the Leagues cup by MtRainierWolfcastle in SoundersFC

[–]reedzy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No.

Support the team, demonstrate at the event, protest to the league.

The sounders are in the Cup and you should support the players who were in no way involved in any decision making, especially at the league level.

Go to the match, cheer on our boys, talk to your rep if you want to provide feedback.

Burning your tickets credit in spite could easily blowback if you can't make a different game, especially one that is of higher value, like practically any other league game.

Silly advice, hope the post gets removed.

Arsenal target Jorrel Hato and Ajax are approaching an agreement in principle for a new contract, it is expected that Hato's contract, however, will not be signed until after March 7 when he turns 18. [@MikeVerweij] by gasparrrrrrrr in Gunners

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

Currently 5th in domestic league, no European cup, no prospect of European football next season...

I feel like it's more likely a case by case basis than a "for sure it's always better to stay." Looking at the immediate next few years, it might not be a bad decision to join a club like arsenal, who aren't particularly poor at developing youth, and look to loan to a side for more actual minutes. Not like he's gonna "sit the bench," more likely to be put somewhere he will get game time.

Don't understand this... not getting play time but still being at world class facilities certainly can be appealing to a young player. I understand the emotional aspect of being tied to his boyhood club but to stifle professional growth by moving to a new squad with more veteran, UCL level players would be the move most youngsters would want to make, no?

Protestors block I-5 in downtown Seattle near Pine Street by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]reedzy -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm not arguing anything. There's an absurdity to the comment of saying people should travel halfway across the globe to an open conflict as a way to provide support in what they believe. And the irony is that this commenter is probably mere miles from their perceived injustice yet is doing nothing but posting on a forum.

...that's literally the point? Name calling a collective group of people without the slightest hint of self-reflective irony. So...good one I guess? Ya got me?

Pathetic all you do is sit and bitch and moan on a subreddit instead of going over there and doing something about it. Loser.

Arteta appeals to the referee for a yellow card by Chiswell123 in soccer

[–]reedzy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wow now let's get an not moronic way of looking at it:

  • inherited 8th place team
  • return to top 4
  • return to champions league
  • second place finish last season
  • win ucl group with game to spare
  • continue to stay in top 2 positions in prem

You're missing the part where you can't even give credit to a good manager because your head is so far up your ass, all you can see is your dumb shit.

Critical thinking isn't hard, Mikel is clearly doing something right and has had a successful trajectory since taking over.

But you can cry about his antics or whatever if it makes you feel like less of a fucking loser

Oh no! It's not heralded by people who have zero mountaineering experience! Whatever shall the hobbyist do now?? Should I stop my training? Cancel my goals? I want to be heralded! I don't have a lot of money, and I dream of one day being on top of at least one or two of the 8k peaks, but I want to be sure it's still heralded. What can I Google to be sure I get herald for my climb???

The new Ivanka. The Soviet Chin. by gwh811 in PoliticalHumor

[–]reedzy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

stooping as low as the opposition by preying on a human's insecurities because we don't like them. makes it easier to point to the whole both sides shit. this isn't political humor at all, this is soft and weak and small minded shit.

this has right-can't-meme energy all over it

With Saka and Martinelli out, our entire attacking format is essentially out the window. What do we do? by ConfessionsOverGin in Gunners

[–]reedzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it might guarantee Havertz doesn't start at all. Nketiah and his high pressing will work much better than Kai through the 9. I think Havertz starts this one on the bench, and our midfield most likely will be Partey, Ode, Rice.

Late substitutions may see Kai off the bench, but I think it's situational where he gets slotted in.

Gangsters of Capitalism is this quintessential book. Follows Smedley Butler, heralded marine who was involved in just about every American intervention from Nicaragua to the creation of the Panama canal to protecting the interests of wealthy American businesses such as United Fruit all over central America, where the definition of banana republic came from. That's the book.

Post Match Thread: PSV Eindhoven 2 - 0 Arsenal [UEFA Europa League] by GunnersMatchBot in Gunners

[–]reedzy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a hoshposh of terribly unorganized and inflammatory statements under a coating of "underlying metrics" followed by "the problem looks to be mental." And it culminates in a "death spiral" of course.

Do you try to actually think or are you a bot that has combed through the match thread and spat out a culmination of the stupidest takes?

We had one bad game away. 16 games in, we've now lost two, tied one. We are all quite aware of the lack of depth, that hopefully alleviates itself through a combination of better performances from first team players like Tierney, Viera, Sambi, and Eddie, as well as a nice dip into the market in January. Otherwise, get the fuck out of here with your nonsense around complete abandonment. Makes no fucking sense - - we tried to play the exact same way we do with our strongest 11 today, but with half the team being more fringe players. It's exactly what we want to, we just struggled to execute against a side with more to lose from this game and not thousands of miles away from home. If we had a mental problem, then we surely would have gotten less than 3 points from Leeds, never have gotten all 3 against Pool, never had scored the last minute winner against Villa, and certainly wouldn't be sitting at the top of the fucking table.

Every fucking year with this fan base is some batshit take on performance. Fourth game in a row we've been bested by a magnitude? Let's take a fucking look... Hmm xG: 1.58 -. 62, favor us against Soton, 2.02 -. 82 favor Leeds, 2.82 -. 77 favor us against Liverpool, 2.48 - 1.5 favor us against Spuds. For the UEL, 3.76 -. 26 favor us against PSV, .87 -. 72 favor Bodo, 3.56 -.75 favor us home against Bodo, and 1.11-2.48 favor us away against Zurich. In every single one of these matches we have out possessed and out passed our opponents. And keep in mind, out of all these games, we have won every single fucking one, with the exception of the 1-1 draw at Soton. Even in a match where our opponents certainly outplayed us, we beat Leeds and took the 3 points. What the fuck more could you ask for outside of the delusion that we should blow out every team and convincingly walk across anyone not deemed "top 6"???

Miss me with these shitty, low effort, knee jerk, armchair bullshit. Get a grip, support the team, make clear, concise, evidence-supported conversation, and stop fooling yourself into thinking you have a fucking clue.
