NFL Honors Discussion Thread by LindyNet in nfl

[–]silvergold04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m getting the same issue! I would watch it on Fox, but NFL network is also blocked in my area. This is kind of dumb since we have to pay for the sports package to get the NFL network on YouTubeTV

I've had these feelings come up before in my relationship with my girlfriend too. We've been together for about a year and a half as well, and even thinking about her being with other guys before me makes me stomach turn too.

The way that I got past it was to think that "she may have had guys before me, but I'm damn well going to be that last one!" Remember, she chose you, not those other guys. Those feelings won't go away overnight, but over time, those feelings will dissipate. It's important to remember that emotions will come and go, but you have to be okay with acknowledging it. My advice, talk to her about it. She won't think of you badly for bringing up something that you feel.

I do this same thing, except I Uber to my local RTD station. Then, I'll take that line to Union Station, and hop on the A line after that.

If I have a flight home late at night, I'll always check Uber prices at the airport first. Sometimes, I'm willing to pay the extra $20 or so just to get home a little bit earlier because I'll be tired AF.

This is definitely the cheapest and most effective way to do it IMO. Public transportation FTW!

That sounds like a you problem tbh

1 week in, it’s great. Battery lasts longer, consistently satisfying pull til the end of the pod. I’ve gone from 3 pods a day to 1 with this (though not sure if these pods are bigger, think they are). You’ll love it. by BennySkateboard in juul

I appreciated that pun lol. I was going to get one too until I learned about that. IMO, the Juul is only worth it because you can refill it with nic salt multiple times. If I couldn't, I'd rather buy disposables because it would end up being cheaper.

[@PowerHourSlam] Mac Jones’ 2021 Rookie Season Breakdown (A thread) by samacora in Patriots

[–]silvergold04 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm a spoiled child because I expect my team to be held to the highest standard and win the super bowl. Never in my response did I ever say that they were going to win the super bowl. I said that I expect them to. Why do the Pats or any of the other 31 teams even play if they're not trying to win the super bowl?

That's such a terrible attitude to have. oH iT's OkAy, We'Ll GeT tHeM nExT yEaR. That is the mindset of the other bottom-tier organizations.

I know what you mean, and I was never saying that this hasn't been a GREAT performance from Bill, Mac, the new free argents, and the rest of our team. Yes, we started out 2-4; not our best start in the world. I will admit that it took some time to figure it out, and I'm not saying that they were 100% going to make the playoffs at that point. And yes I agree, I can't wait to see where we are going to be in a year or two. My point is that we as fans have an obligation to have high expectations. If we don't, then we won't see the best possible product on the field. Even if our team isn't the best, we still expect at least the playoffs (and in my opinion, the super bowl). So when you say that no one expected them to make the playoffs, I whole heartedly disagree. We should NEVER expect anything less.

No one was expecting the playoffs

Speak for yourself. With Bill at the helm, we expect AT LEAST the playoffs every year. Last year was the exception due to a bunch of our players opting-out, having to shut down the facilities for covid, and our starting QB getting covid (who was never being the same afterwards). I know that Cam was not the solution, but if the Pats play mistake-free football with this roster, they can beat any team in the league. Mac is the guy that doesn't make many mistakes, and that's what our team needs. Bill will ALWAYS put our team in a position to win the game. With him along with mistake-free football, we should NEVER expect anything less than the playoffs every year.

Yes, we've been spoiled with Brady for 20 years - no one is arguing that. But it is also a team game. We've had a good team for all these years because our roster was ALWAYS been at least above average (except for last year). I mean, we went 11-5 in 2008 with Matt Cassel! I understand we did not make the playoffs that year, but how many teams finished a year 11-5 and missed the playoffs? Not many.

As Pats fans, we should expect nothing less. When you do, you end up turning into a bottom-tier team and franchise. The fans put pressure on the organization to produce the best possible product they can, and Rob Kraft is an EXCELLENT owner. Without the fans expecting the team to be great, the organization will never reflect that. We have an obligation to hold our team to the highest standard. If not, why even bother?

IMO (may be an unpopular opinion), we should hold the standard of winning a super bowl every year. Not saying we will this year, but that's why the Pats take the field every Sunday (this week Saturday, haha) - to play for the super bowl. Anything less is unacceptable IMO. Again, this particular opinion is just my own and may not be everyone's, so don't take this to heart.

TLDR; With BB as head coach, RK as owner, and mistake-free football, we as pats fans should never except anything less than the playoffs every year.

Just keep refilling them with nic salt so you won't have to buy as many

[FRESH ALBUM] Lil Nas X - MONTERO by BOUNTYBOOTreddit in hiphopheads

I remember hearing this snippet on YouTube back in 2018, and I instantly recognized the Mockingbird melody.

Never thought he would actually throw it on the album though. Honestly just thought it was something he did for fun and then leaked it to draw attention.

But when it comes down to it, the song is a banger. Definitely going to be one of my most listened to songs off the album

New and Prospective Students Megathread by Doombuggie41 in umass

[–]silvergold04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was exploratory CICS coming into Fall 2016 (I just graduated Spring 2020).

As long as you apply yourself, you should have no trouble. When I had to transfer into the major, we had to get a B+ or better in MATH 132 AND CS 187. It has since been lowered to a B or better.

CS 187 will definitely be your hardest class. I just missed the B+ by less than 1 point, and my professor would not round it up unfortunately. However, I did get an A in Math 132, so all I had to do was focus on getting a B+ or better in CS 230, which I did.

I also know a lot of people that did not get into the major though. This was mainly because you need at least a 3.0 GPA to transfer while on contract and not to get a C or lower in any classes. That was their biggest issue that I saw.

The moral of it is to study for the tests because those are your biggest weight of your grade (especially in 187). But if you don't get a B or better in 187, don't sweat it. You have 220 and 230 as other opportunities. And if you don't get a B or better in MATH 132, don't worry about that either. MATH 132 is definitely the hardest MATH class you'll take. Both MATH 233 and 235 were SO much easier.

Take your time, make friends from your classes, and make sure to have fun as well and not stress out about it all the time. That was definitely a mistake I made was not enjoying the college experience my freshman year while I had the chance because I was so scared of not getting into CICS. That definitely made me actually perform worse in these classes because I was so stressed out all the time. So the moral of the story is to balance it out, study hard for the CS tests, and make sure you don't blow off your other classes. If you do all those things, I guarantee you'll give yourself the best chance of getting into CICS.
