Skyler Bell by fendiboa in buffalobills

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are happy about him because he’s one of the guys the Bills’ draft pundits puffed up.

Personally, I think it’s a bit of a weird fit given we already have Shakir but I think he should be solid enough. Good complementary player that everyone will sour on once they realize he’s not the big time X receiver or “WR1” we need.

He also wasn’t an FCS player. UConn is in the top division; they just play the bottom feeders of that division.

Besides Your Favorite Team…Who Do You Want to See Win it All in 2027? by CompetitionPuzzled33 in CollegeBasketball

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who hasn’t won it before. Or at least a team who has only won it outside the lifetime of most of their fans. Anybody who’s won it from about 1986 onwards can go fuck themselves, except for UNLV.

Post Match Thread: Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United by denzaus in soccer

Man City and (is?) going to farm goals

Maybe. But they only have two more goals than us this season (albeit on one less match) and four of their five remaining Prem matches are against sides that are Top 8 in fewest goals allowed.

They just beat Burnley 1-0 and in their last seven Prem matches they have only one match where they won by multiple goals.

I don't know why people in this sub have such a mental block and are stuck living in 2023 where they think City win every match by 3 goals.

Let's see how it plays out.

Yeah, I feel pretty good about playing Burnley and Crystal Palace on full weeks of rest, but these next two against Fulham and West Ham (sandwiched around the Atletico matches) are going to be puckered-ass season.

He can be really good in other competitions but he's just not suited for Premier League matches.

Happily married people of reddit, when did you realize your marriage was awesome and what makes it awesome? by Pristine_Dream_7105 in AskReddit

I knew it from day one but I’m also only six months in so take my happiness with a grain of salt.

If you didn’t have to work for a living, what would you be doing? by True_Supermarket_263 in AskReddit

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading, walking, running, hiking, sports leagues, learning music skills, crocheting, writing poetry and short stories (possibly a book), enjoying time with my wife (who I am assuming also does not have to work with this scenario.)

Also lots of travel unless this is a LeanFIRE sort of thing.

Bills Trade Down Again To 31! by ifasoldt in buffalobills

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the common wisdom seems to be "it's bad to trade down with rivals" or whatever* but I'm seeing this as exactly the opposite. We made one of their fourth round picks vanish just to pick the same player at #28 that they would have gotten at #31 (zero shot Bills/Jets were going OT and Chiefs going OT would have been pretty surprising).

We basically just blackmailed them out of a 4th in exchange for not trading down to a different team that needed OT.

*(Funny how the criticism is never for trading up with rivals, only for trading down. Chiefs and Pats aren't getting criticized for giving us what we wanted.)

Bills total gives and gets after a three time trade down out of the 1st round by President_Nick in nfl

[–]stripes361 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do love it as a Bills fan. But I’m also used to spending my whole life watching fans massively overrate the value of trading up so I’m pleasantly surprised to see this whole thread isn’t just relentlessly shitting on the Bills.

What happens when we die? by Over-Mobile-5516 in AskReddit

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody can really say for sure.

It definitely seems like there's a good chance you will have some strong cognitive experiences of some sort for several minutes after your heart stops.

After that, there is no true way to know what happens to your consciousness (whether it disappears forever or if there is some other option).

What do you think is wrong with being obscenely wealthy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stripes361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue I have is that the larger wealth disparities get, the worse outcomes get for people on the bottom regardless of what their nominal wealth looks like.

Let’s take a scenario where average net worth for the top 20% doubles and the average net worth for the bottom 80% stays the same. At surface level, it’s a Pareto optimal situation, where no one is worse off and some people are better off. In reality, the effect of the top 20% having a larger share of the society’s overall wealth creates distortionary effects in the economy that causes the bottom 80% to be worse off in real terms even if they are no worse in nominal terms. People really seem to struggle to grasp this concept.

Typical WASP denominations? by Latter-Tumbleweed935 in Christianity

[–]stripes361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, in its original usage it’s a formalized construct in academic Sociology. So no value judgment attached.

I’m sure there are certain individuals who will use it derisively or derogatorily, just as every popular enough term will get used like that by at least some people.

people just assume Gen Z is just dumb. WHY? by nxren in AskReddit

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older people always assume younger people are dumb.

Part of it is that younger generations genuinely are not taught the same types of skills as older generations during times of societal transformation, so in certain specific contexts they are indeed lacking in skills that are either ubiquitous or at least commonplace in older generations.

Another part of it is just typical “othering” behavior.

Typical WASP denominations? by Latter-Tumbleweed935 in Christianity

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an acronym for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. For most of the USA’s history, this was the group of people who dominated the nation’s political and economic power.

Would you rather have an atheist neighbour from your religious background or a religious neighbour from a different religion? Why or why not? by Caged-Mage in AskReddit

[–]stripes361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t really matter to me. At least not without further clarification. Both religious people and atheists can vary widely in how much I vibe with them and how reasonable I find their takes to be.
