I’ve been watching a lot of college ball lately, and I can't help but feel like we're moving away from the traditional "pure pocket passer" era. It feels like every time a new kid steps under center, the conversation immediately shifts to how mobile they are or if they can scramble out of trouble when the pocket collapses.
Personally, I miss the days when you could just judge a guy on his arm strength and accuracy. Now, it feels like if you aren't a dual-threat threat, you're almost an afterthought in the recruiting process. I remember watching some legends back in the day who just sat there and dismantled defenses with nothing but a quick release. Now, it seems like coaches are desperate for that "sneaky" athleticism to keep the defense on their toes.
Do you guys think the era of the traditional stationary quarterback is actually dead, or is it just a temporary trend because of how modern defenses are playing?
Maria Barnes said:Parliamentary Elections on the 2020 Virtual Political Forum
A virtual political game mirroring the upcoming parliamentary elections here on Reddit. Think of the Reddit platform as our own sovereign nation, where we elect representatives to manage the state of the Forum.
To found a party, you need a leader, three members, some sympathizers, and a platform of at least 100 words (you decide the exact numbers). Founding a party is free. Anyone can do it just by starting a thread listing the party name, leader, members, and program. A statute is optional.
We’ll open up a new subforum where parties can pitch their platforms and debate with the voters. We'll also have separate threads for leader showdowns regarding the core issues of the Forum.
Some potential party names come to mind—Right to Moderate, I Love Reddit, KGK coalitions (Coronavirus-Music-Literature), Democratic Party (Sapunice-Spirituality-Psychology), Love and Sex for Everyone, Banned and Cardboarded, We Can But We Won't...
It’s a game, to be clear, because we all know there isn't any democracy on Reddit (we use a much more advanced system—enlightened absolutism😬). But even if it's just a game, the results could impact life on the Forum. After all, we have elections for the forum council, the creative department😉, and whatever other bodies we dream up. These elections also serve as an introduction to candidates running for those roles. Keep in mind that thanks to our unique system, even a small, smart party can exert significant influence over how the Forum develops and is run.
How will voting work? Through public polls within each party's specific thread. You can vote for multiple parties. Since election fraud is totally predictable anyway, the actual numbers don't matter—only the names do. 🙂
The game runs until the real national elections are over.
Lay your objections, additions, and comments on me.
Are pre- and post-election coalitions allowed? Or things that aren't principled, like the
Love and Sex for Everyone Equally and
We Can But Won't!
?
I’m a co-owner of a piece of land where another co-owner decided to build a house. Now he’s claiming adverse possession to grab full ownership, so he sued me to quiet the title. I just got served—I have 30 days to file my answer, and there’s a preliminary hearing scheduled for a few months down the road.
First thing: when I file this response, do I need to lay out every single fact and piece of evidence right now? Or can I just submit a basic response to avoid a default judgment, knowing I’ll have the chance to present my case and evidence during the preliminary hearing? I’d rather have more time to get organized.
I'm assuming I can still submit new facts and evidence via formal motions in the interim, between filing the initial response and the actual hearing.
