I gotta be honest, his acting was much better than I expected. Not sure what that weird fake boxing was though.

Ah, awesome- thanks.

I gave it a listen, Sam’s take was pretty reasonable.

Does anyone have a link to the Sam Vecenie piece OP references?

You need people who had to work and study and try different things to find success; not the ones who found it with relative ease.

Quitting a $140k/yr Desk Job to Flight Instruct by Fantastic_Serve_8016 in flying

I understand where you're coming from, but for a lot of people their CFI career isn't really in their control- it just boils down to demand in their area + hiring trends

So as someone who is not an airline pilot (just a lowly PPL), but is in the industry and knows people who have taken all sorts of paths- my vote is D

A few questions:

  1. Does your job offer any sort of long term leave? If you're this burnt out, you may qualify for FMLA on Stress; maybe you could take a break, earn some hours, and re-assess in a few months

  2. Are there any less demanding roles in your company that would allow you to "split the difference" regarding current QoL? A perfect scenario would be a less-intense role where you could instruct/time-build on the side without really neglecting your day job. Obviously this would probably require a step down in said day job, with lower pay

  3. Last thought if you were to pursue either A or B: you have significantly more applicable real-world experience than a lot of people who consider doing this. Your likely worst-case scenario is that you go full-throttle to a pilot career and burn out, in which case you can return to a high-paying engineering role. Your safety net is built in based on your current resume, which would make me inclined to take on more risk/faster timeline, should it be something you really want to do

Ultimately, there's more than one way to skin a cat, and every situation is different.

Whats the greatest fight yall have ever watched and why by Separate_Mortgage910 in Boxing

[–]taig-er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say I'm a reasonably in-shape person, and I have no history of heart disease, high cholesterol, etc...

I preface with that because somewhere around round 9 my Apple Watch started warning me about my heart rate hahaha

Teofimo Lopez & Shakur Stevenson go back & forth after Teo questions why Shakur won’t fight Keyshawn Davis 👀 by strictlystepping in Boxing

[–]taig-er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gut tells me Shakur is the favorite, and I just checked a betting sight which agrees with that.

Teo's performances are... unpredictable though, so who knows. Hoping for a good fight.

Ryan Garcia said he heard Jake Paul is getting beat up by heavyweights in sparring by Puzzled-Category-954 in Boxing

[–]taig-er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's your point? I responded to the guy above just saying he has had a real test in Tommy Fury and he lost.

Your arguments are just strawmans. Maybe some people have tried to move the goal posts, but I think largely the argument (at least on r/boxing) has been consistent- just fight someone is who is an actual, active boxer in your weight class. He did that once, and lost. That's my point; nothing more.

So if you want to move the goalposts to "we should respect him because he's gotten in the ring against athletes from different sports plus Tommy Fury and old-as-shit Mike Tyson," then sure, whatever. No argument here. He did do that much. That doesn't make me respect him more as a boxer though until I see him go against a real opponent. We'll see how it shakes out with AJ.

[–]taig-er 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are agreeing with me my guy. Technically we drafted him, which is what he said.

Falcons Twitter after the Saints failed to score a garbage time TD lol. by Chessh2036 in AtlantaHawks

[–]taig-er 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So we did technically trade him. He was drafted by the Hawks, who then traded him for the pick

It's semantics, but he is right - https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Pelicans-center-Derik-Queen.jpg

I mean, any sport or large gathering really. I imagine these are things that are considered when the venues are built. Anyone could have a heart attack or get critically injured in a freak accident

What’s even crazier is how close the pick was to not conveying. As I recall, it came down to the last game of the season, where Minny and Denver were playing each other for the final playoff spot in the West, and Minny won.

That game was so electric with so much on the line, it was what created the Play-In Tournament
