@HStandersen@domluszczyszyn@TDA7724 But in that context it still is a useful stat. If a player regularly produced a high number of expected goals but very few actual goals, that tells you the player is a bad shooter. That gives the team and the player data to help potentially correct issues the player has
Your credit score dropping because you paid off a loan is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever heard of. I should be rewarded for getting myself out of debt, not punished. In what world is it reasonable that I drop 32 points for paying off my car?
@infinitieyes The word mistake implies an absence of intention. When I spill a drink that is a mistake. I didn’t mean to do it. Cheating is a conscious choice. It is not a mistake, it is a deliberate action. Calling it a mistake removes accountability from the cheater, which is wrong.
@kevinsagirl My only concern with this would be white people committing crimes while wearing a mask like this and getting black people wrongly arrested
@jameslaura86@HitFactoryPod I don’t think you really asked this in good faith, but to be clear, there were 2 perceived issues in healthcare:
1) Lots of people didn’t have health insurance
2) Health insurance companies deny claims for stupid reasons
Obamacare was primarily aimed at fixing issue #1.
The game shifted heavily toward fast, skilled players, goalie gear was made slightly smaller, and rules changes were made specifically to increase goal scoring because a 5-4 game is more fun to watch than a 2-1 game. The goalies are better than ever, the game has just changed.
Not that this needs an announcement, but I’m pretty fed up with how shit this app has become. If you’re like me and have been hesitant to move because none of your friends are on Bluesky yet, know that at least one is! https://t.co/YGi71MxPfF
Had a banger of a joke at work today. Told a group of engineers “hey, if you’re upset about the state of the Cowboys and want a good team to root for, the Dallas Stars actually out scored the Cowboys in their most recent game!” Funniest thing these engineers have heard all week
At a certain point is the right response just to best somebody’s ass? Like, I know that’s illegal, but at what point is it just morally justifiable to beat somebody’s ass and call it civil disobedience?
@spittinchiclets He’s on pace to be literally 1 goal short by end of this season. He’s got another year on his contract after this one. My guess is he comes up somewhere around 10 goals short this year and then breaks it next year.
