| StealThisSheen 10/22/17 3:40:02 AM #254 | I don't think throwing around "90% vs. 33%" is fair when the totals are 47 vs. 31, for one. And like I said, there are certain things that are suspect. Like said, you count 2 Broke Girls as "some," but then count Simpsons as "None." Yeah, 2 Broke Girls has a black guy in every episode... But he's barely in it every episode. That seems like it'd balance with Simpsons commonly having Apu, Carl, etc. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

Also, you discounted things like Vikings and Game of Thrones for...

Thirteen Reasons Why: Not an actual TV show, discounted for our purposes 7. The Flash: 2 6. Big Bang Theory: 0 5. Vikings: 0 4. Prison Break: ...I think 1 counts? 3. Pretty Little Liars: 2ish, though they are extremely, extremely light skinned to the point where it's kinda awkward 2. The Walking Dead: 1 main cast, though I guess you can count Morgan now since he's not just recurring anymore, so 2. 1. Game of Thrones: 0 I'm honestly not sure it's more than the 90s.

TBH I always thought the correct play was get WRs/RBs first and then go for a QB in the fifth/sixth, preferably one that could break out Yeah, that's the usual way to go about it. Occasionally somebody would go big on an elite QB and then try to play trades/waivers to their favor. It feels like the change is just going to make that "occasionally" never happen, though, so teams will just be more cookie cutter. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

In a perfect world, this would be nice. But we're not in a perfect world, and... Let's be honest. Most people don't give a shit about the "I don't want to injure/kill someone else." Sadly, the consequence of "This is a rule, and you'll receive punishment if you break it" is necessary. Drakeryn posted...
I also disagree with this a bit. The reason people dye their hair unnatural colors in the first place is because it stands out/it's different, or it gets attention, etc. By that, it could logically atleast be somewhat distracting to others, since if it didn't draw attention in SOME way, people wouldn't do it to "express themselves" in the first place. There's atleast something to the "It's distracting," even if only a bit. It's not entirely mindless. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

| StealThisSheen 10/21/17 3:36:07 PM #20 | It was fair since if you went for one of the three or so QBs who were above the rest, you sacrificed getting a good running back in return and would have to play trades/waivers well. I'm not playing this year and haven't done the new scoring, but it sounds like this new attempt to normalize all the scoring to be closer together kinda kills strategy and mainly helps those that only want to spend 5 minutes on their team a week. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery. A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union. The people of Virginia, in their ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, adopted by them in Convention on the twenty-fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, having declared that the powers granted under the said Constitution were derived from the people of the United States, and might be resumed whensoever the same should be perverted to their injury and oppression; and the Federal Government, having perverted said powers, not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern Slaveholding States. Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated Union to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquility and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people. She was received into the confederacy with her own constitution, under the guarantee of the federal constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery-- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time.

What more, who do you get to do it? With smaller scams like this, we'd typically let the employee hang themself. We'd call them in, bring up something vague, such as "We noticed some discrepancies with the gift cards in your bag," and see what they said. You'd be surprised how often they'd admit to it, whether out of guilt/worry, or by trying to deny it and saying the wrong thing. If they did, great. If not, we'd just let them go, but say something vague about monitoring it/etc. to scare them from doing it.
