Someone drafted Trevor Lawrence before me. I am not sure if he was drafted before old man Brady or after him. I reckon he will be needing someone young because his knees might not handle a whole season. He is 43 years old?

That was me. I think it was many rounds after you got the old man. My primary is Lamar. I don't know how much sense it makes to have a backup QB but we'll see.

I just spent 2+ hours fiddling with the rankings and the sad part is that I'll probably do worse than the default ranks or even random picks Grin

Nevertheless, this is the most optimistic moment in my FF season, because in theory I can still win this thing.

One hour left.

blatant falsehood

AKA horseshit. Pun opportunity fail.

Yes, that's my contribution to this ludicrous thread. I admire your patience though.

I don't know if it's just my office or everywhere.

Or it could be just you. To get a complete picture we would need one of your giggling co-workers to come here and give us the other side of the story.

I've worked with some terrible (professionally and otherwise) people and I don't recall it being a particularly male or female problem. Issues like that are best solved by talking to the boss or finding another job.

To be fair to the fake news president, very few of the politicians or old-school business people or reality TV hosts really know the difference between Bitcoin and e.g. PayPal or some other digital doodad. Some are just less eager to show their stupidity.

I want to ask this out of curiosity on what you NFL experts think or speculate. Which team would pick up Cam Newton?

My first guess was the Redskins with Ron Rivera because of his success with Newton, however, this rumor was disproved immediately by Rivera. The team to pick Covid Cam might be the Texans?

Jaguars will pick him up in 2027 as a tight end.

Self-governance is nothing else as decentralized individual governance with all sorts of contracts/partnerships/cooperations....

If it's truly fully decentralized, you don't need contracts since there is not going to be the judicial branch of the government to enforce them anyway. Just get the biggest weapon you can afford.
2529  Other / Politics & Society / Re: I saw my first counterfeit Covid vaccination card yesterday… on: September 01, 2021, 05:24:43 PM
Honestly though? Do you agree with a government MAKING their people get a shot?

Oooh, the loaded question game. Let me try. Do you agree with limiting the right of employers to hire whom they want to hire and firing whom they want to fire? Do you agree with employers doing drug tests? Background checks? Mandating a "no flip flops" dress code? Reading your resume? CONDUCTING A FUCKING JOB INTERVIEW BEFORE THEY START GIVING MONEY TO YOU? Outrageous!!!

there's still a 20% chance

Absurd. That would mean 30+ million people would be dead just in the US. You really need to learn how to make up stupid numbers. For example BADecker, our resident conspiraspammer, claims that everyone who takes the vaccine will die within 2 years or later. That's sufficiently scary to those who need a daily fear diet but otherwise meaningless.

Meanwhile I'm still alive.

This is my personal statement. Friends who are concerned about this incident, please wait patiently for the information I have collected one after another. I hope everyone can make judgments after seeing the information.

You still have learned nothing. Still posting the same wall of text across multiple threads. Why don't you accept that this is not twitbook and not suitable for spammy shitcoining.
2532  Other / Politics & Society / Re: I saw my first counterfeit Covid vaccination card yesterday… on: August 31, 2021, 02:29:15 AM
The issue is the lack of fear, specifically amongst the obese really.

A lot of the deaths are from old people and fat people, to put it bluntly.

There is a lot more to it than that... not that it's really important TBH. I'd take even a 0.001% chance of getting hospitalized over a 0.01% chance.

People generally suck at estimating risks, like overpaying for insurance/warranty they don't need while quite literally eating/drinking/smoking themselves to death. Not getting a free shot to reduce the chance of death or severe illness is like neglecting to back up your private key. It'll be fine until it isn't.

However if one decides to not take the vaccine...


... I strongly believe that they should stick to that decision and not engage in borderline criminal actions of counterfeiting documents to pretend that they aren't really anti-vax. Making or owning fake cards might be ok, selling or using them - probably not. Check the state laws if you're planning to use such a card and there is a good chance you could be violating federal law as well.

This should be a big lesson to the newbies.

What's your angle here? Thinking that if you suck up to sockpuppet hunters then you might avoid kxwkwkxkwkk's fate?
2534  Other / Meta / Re: Here Is One Reason Why Legendary Members Get So Many Merits on: August 30, 2021, 11:42:19 AM
If you are a legendary member, you need to have received a lot of merit, 1000 if you are a new era newbie, or a minimum of 500 if you created your account prior to the implementation of the merit system.

Nonsense. Airdropped merit was given even to the shittiest shitposters and it means nothing. As evidenced by the fact that median earned merit among Legendary members is 19. Goes up a notch to 34 if we take only ones still active this year. >80% of active Legendaries have that title only because of the airdrop.
I think we both know that the majority of merit received by legendary members is not received by those with 19 or 34 merit. The overwhelming majority of merit received by legendary members is received by those with a lot of merit.

When presenting numbers, I would suggest that you understand the context of the data you are presenting. You should also work to remove your own personal bias when presenting information. You should not look to data in order to confirm what you want to argue, but rather you should look to data in a neutral way, and form conclusions based on said data.

Your assertion that "If you are a legendary member, you need to have received a lot of merit, 1000 if you are a new era newbie, or a minimum of 500 if you created your account prior to the implementation of the merit system" is highly misleading, especially when followed by "If you have received a lot of merit in the past, you are likely to receive a lot of merit in the future, assuming you maintain your posting habits" because the airdrop was not given for post quality and the vast majority of those airdropped legendaries are not likely to receive a lot of actual earned merit. That's all what the data shows.

I don't have a personal bias against legendaries, just stating the plain fact that most of them are shit. Sorry this hurts your fee-fees.

Why aren't you and kxwhalexk the same person again?

I'm sure Jazmin and Ghoul will explain it to you shortly.

Merely being a Legendary has no relevance to post quality. You'd think you would know that what with all the account farming.

Reminds me of those morons burning their $100 Nike sneakers. Actually this seems a tad more moronic, because the $100 goes to fraudsters.
2538  Other / Meta / Re: [Banned appeal] on: August 28, 2021, 04:57:49 PM
Should such newcomers who contribute to the forum be directly banned?

Loaded question/straw man/false dilemma. Newcomers who plagiarize don't really contribute (positively as the the question implies). They make the forum a worse place. The user was not banned for contributing, the user was banned for plagiarism. And the user obviously had a choice - plagiarism is not the only way to get ahead.

That's assuming (very generously) that you are indeed a different person and not just trying to troll the shit out of this forum with a bunch of sockpuppets on your way out.

Download a wechat.

How does wechat solve anything? You could easily sockpuppet multiple chats.

The problem here is that Ratimov accuses RainbowKun of establishing an account farm, and RainbowKun also has the right to accuse Ratimov of defamation. This is a fair thing, including myself. I can also set up a thread to accuse Ratimov of inexplicably putting my name in one In the list of account farms.

Defamation would be knowingly making false claims about you with the purpose of damaging your reputation. I seriously doubt that Ratimov cares about some random newbie enough to go to such lengths. If he's mistaken that's not defamation. If he's right that's not defamation. Stop spamming with the tone complaints, it's cringy.
