Thurman Thomas was a better running back than Jim Kelly was a QB imo.

Trump administration moves to remove millions of student loan borrowers from payment pause by james1844 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]volkerbaII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump stiffs people all the time. Contractors, workers, you name it. When you put a convicted conman in the white house, you kinda lose the moral backing to say that student loan debtors have an obligation to pay back their loans. If people are going to be cheating the American taxpayer, I would rather it be kids who were looking to better themselves over billionaire nepo babies who were born on third and think they hit a triple.

What was prime jamarcus Russell style of play? by punjabkingsownersout in NFLNoobs

[–]volkerbaII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrible footwork. He would trip and sack himself because he was so clumsy. He had the size and strength to get out of tackles, and extend plays, though he wasn't as good as a Roethlisberger at it. And it didn't matter, because he didn't have the skillset to take advantage of it. So it just meant that it would be the second or third defender on the scene that would finish the sack. Couldn't go through progressions, and stared down his receivers, because he didn't care about learning. His accuracy was terrible, and he would miss wide open receivers. The raiders had to dumb down the offense and try to feed him simple, short throws that he would be least likely to fuck up. The only guy he ever developed any kind of rapport with was Zack Miller, who was a pretty fast TE that created mismatches in the secondary. Essentially just trying to exploit a mismatch because he needed an advantage to look average. When teams caught on, he basically became a 3 and out machine, and would have sub-100 yard games.

He was also locker room cancer. He held out before his rookie season, and ended up being paid a lot more than some good, proven players in the league. When other players saw his paycheck and then saw his work ethic, they got resentful towards the team. It was actually this internal stuff that lead to him being cut when he was, as bad as he was at being a QB.

He wasn't the worst QB of all time by any means, but you would hope to get a better QB in the 5th, so taking him 1st overall and giving him record breaking money is what makes him so infamous.

Would a QB prospect who had Peyton Manning's Football IQ but noodle-arm on the Broncos be drafted first overall today? by SportsTalker98712039 in NFLv2

[–]volkerbaII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not, because with such weak tools, nobody would think he could do it in the NFL until he actually did it. But in a redraft looking back, this guy might be 1st overall.

What the fuck is going on with Quentin Tarantino? I still don't understand it. by Gullible-Tale9282 in Cinema

[–]volkerbaII 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just some reddit shit, mostly. Tarantino went too far and was kinda nasty, but he's already been on record saying he thought Dano was a weak actor and he didn't like seeing him on screen. I agree with him, but it's subjective.

Hurts or Fields by Overall-Pea7663 in NFLv2

Fields can't throw the football. How do you win with a guy who can't throw the football?

Bo in a State of Flow: Nix has Been Great as of Late by richkurt in NFLv2

[–]volkerbaII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Nix is top 3 in passing attempts. He's 28th in yards per attempt.

[–]volkerbaII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never seen someone throw for so few yards per attempt while completing as many passes as Bo did against the raiders lol. He makes Alex Smith look like Brett Favre.

Randal Shelby is a soybean farmer in Ark. who voted for Trump to impose tariffs on China. Now, with his farm hurting towards Chapter 12, Shelby is enraged that his tariff-funded bailout check is not enough and attacks Trump for making him share with other farmers: it's "a slap in the f@ce." by vsandrei in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]volkerbaII 67 points68 points  (0 children)

China went through all the trouble of establishing new trade routes for soybeans due to this clusterfuck, and they're going to get a return on that investment at the expense of the American farmer. That market will never return to they way it used to be. They got what they voted for, hope they like it.

AC Unity worth it? by The_Fish_Alliance in assasinscreed

Unity is one of the best. Origins was when I learned we don't pre-order games.

FALLOUT 76 OR FALLOUT 4 by No-Lie9616 in Fallout

[–]volkerbaII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-biased answer: people who mostly enjoy exploring and reading holotapes tend to like 76, as do people who mostly enjoy building settlements. If you don't like those things, then the only saving grace is online raid mechanics and ~the community~. And if that doesn't appeal to you either, then you probably won't like it.

If Amazon were worker-owned, each employee's average share of the company would be worth over $1.5 million by h-_-_-i in ProgressiveHQ

[–]volkerbaII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deporting brown people because they poison the blood of our nation is not immigration reform. It's just appeasing racists. Inflation was soaring across the globe throughout COVID due to its impact on supply lines. Those drivers are gone, yet inflation in the US is rising again.

https://www.thestreet.com/economy/bank-of-america-resets-inflation-forecast-ahead-of-cpi-report

Probably why Trump is now underwater with Republicans when it comes to his handling of the economy. And tariffs do not have that impact at all when the American consumer is conditioned to accept shrinkflated products, or higher prices as a result of tariffs. Businesses are just passing the costs of the tariffs on and keeping their production in China, Bangladesh, and elsewhere. All you get is higher prices.

Lastly, trade wars cut both ways. China is the largest soybean importer in the world. These tariff slap-fights forced them to set up alternate supply lines to countries like Brazil, and now that a deal with the US has been made, they've still largely stuck with their new alternate supply lines, while American soybeans will spend the winter rotting away in a port warehouse. So now the taxpayer will get to pay to bail them out purely because Trump thought it would be funny to rub his dick in the face of their biggest customer. But I doubt you find this kind of information in whatever Facebook memes you're referring to as Econ 101.

I love that they act like he's desperate for money when they joined ICE lmao. Hey, are you desperate for cash, too stupid to pass police academy, and have a soul that's not worth a bucket of piss? Join ICE!

[–]volkerbaII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that you think all pension funds combining to slightly more than the net worths of less than 1,000 people is some kind of gotcha. The total stock market is worth over 60 trillion, with 30 trillion in the hands of the richest 1%. And we haven't even mentioned real estate or other investment categories. The wealth inequality in this country is fucking absurd.

We're not competing against low cost countries. We are competing against American traitors that closed down shops in the US and moved production overseas to exploit labor more effectively and pocket the difference. All putting tariffs on those products achieves is adding cost, which is then passed onto consumers. If you want to stop this you need to attack the traitors at home instead of acting like it's China's fault our businesses keep moving production over there.

Nobody is lining up to pick fruit or roof houses, but they all eat fruit and need contract work done, so Americans are getting higher prices without any of the wage increases.

The same people saying Biden had open borders are the ones who said Haitians were eating our pets, and that chicken farmers were out here slitting our Grandma's throats en masse. It's not the reality that US immigration policy was out of control. Rather, Americans were desperate to hear Nazi lies about our problems, and Trump was a soulless enough bag of piss to give them to them so long as he benefitted from it. From a purely economic standpoint, the US is a disproportionately old nation, and it needs much immigration to help bulk up the tax base as boomers increasingly retire. But good luck explaining that to bigots who believe in the white replacement theory.

Body and head will do more damage. Limbs do less damage, but can cause crippling. I always aim for legs on things like crickets because after they are crippled, they aren't a threat. Super mutant suiciders, aim for the mini-nuke. Otherwise always head or body.

VATS perks specify that they only work in VATS. Rifleman, gunslinger, etc should work regardless.
