32 Miami Greats in 32 Days

27.) Mark Duper

“That was the Marino and Duper show right there. And, man, they were unbelievable.” - Mark Clayton, on 1983 Season

BASIC INFO

Name: Mark Super Duper

Position: Wide Receiver

Height/Weight: 5’ 9” / 185 lbs

Summary: Mark Duper was a wide receiver whose incredible speed and talent contributed to the birth of the passing era. Routinely the fastest man on the field, Duper was a master of the sprint, capable of tearing the top off a defense and zooming past before they even knew what happened.

TEAM STATS

NFL DRAFT

With the departure of Paul Warfield, and the rapidly encroaching end of then-nine year veteran Nat Moore’s career, the Miami Dolphins were looking for new blood in 1982. The needed another speed demon to help stretch the field and – if at all possible – simply outrun opposing cornerbacks. They didn’t need to look too far for their man, as “Super” Duper had fallen to the second…

Mark Duper was selected in the 2nd Round of the 1982 NFL Draft, chosen 52nd overall.

HISTORY

Speed Demon

Duper found himself in a rocky situation from the onset. While he was a designated starter for lack of adequate personnel, he carried an injury that stuck with him the majority of his rookie season, and the Dolphins simply wouldn’t get to test their new asset until the start of the following year.

However, 1983 was the first year that the Dolphins saw some return on their investment.

June 9th is a special day. 6/9, 6-9 or 69, is a number near and dear to my heart. It’s a versatile number. It can be a birthday. It can be a jersey number. It can be a draft spot. It can be career touchdowns. It can put a smile on a Redditors face. Let’s celebrate together, as we look at one of the greatest numbers in the greatest sport.

Who was born on this date?

73 current and former NFL players were born on June 9th. None were born on 6/9/69. Here are the best 5 players born on 6/9:

271 players have worn jersey number 69, here are the top ten by AV:

The 69th pick in the draft:

The 69th pick in the draft, generally comes in early round three in recent years. Out of 92 drafts, two HOFers have come from this special spot (G-Russ Grimm, DB-Jack Christiansen). 13% of pick number 69 have made a Pro Bowl, here is the list of Pro Bowlers who were drafted at pick 69:

6-9 Record in one season (Is it possible?)

1987…what a time to be alive (I was alive). That season gave us something very unique, very special. The Super Bowl winner was – who knows, who cares? Who was the MVP? don't know, don't care. What did MY favorite team do that year…well, they had arguably their best season ever, they accomplished a VERY unique record of 6-9. This 15-game strike-shortened season gave us the silver lining of all silver linings, 6-9 records. Here are the three greatest seasons in NFL history:

1987 New York Giants 6-9 Two strike-replacement QBs helped make this happen as Mike Busch and Jim Crocicchia combined to go 0-2 to start the season. Phil Simms and Jeff Rutledge closed it out by combining to go 6-7. Lawrence Taylor and

In the process of researching GME I was able to accumulate the material into this ape-friendly long read, largely aimed at newcomers of the sub. Though, this giant brain candy can and should be enjoyed by anybody!
I have to warn you, apester, this is a super duper long read and it will take a considerable amount of your time as well as about 140% (several estimations state that the percentage might even be as high as 420-696.9%) of brain resources. However, it is completely worth it to read it in full, I promise you - ape transcendence is imminent upon completing the reading. Also, do it for the love to memes, because I genuinely handcrafted about 15 memes and put it here for your satisfaction.

My fundamental idea behind this colossal, voluminous piece of work was to build a framework for myself (and other interested apes), as to be aware of where it all stands now, how it all got here, and the likely outcomes of this spectacular show you have all been observing and participating in. Furthermore, I tried my best to make the language as simple as possible, using ELIAs (Eexplain Like I'm an Ape) where possible, and doing my best in elaborating on difficult financial concepts and terms for this intellectually limited individuals with extraordinary small brain capacity that you all are. This work is structured in such a way so that even with zero knowledge in the subject, you will be able to grasp all of the important concepts from the first go. It is especially important for the newcomers of this sub, influx of whom might happen, should any major potential catalyst unwhale. So, do not hesitate to share this even with 1/10 brain-wrinkled individuums. I believe in your mental capabilities apemeisters (though, I know that at this point it is a pure gamble - and I am in the right place for that).

And yeah, this a not a financial advice, and I am not a financial advisor. Just and ape with one and a half brain wrinkles (hopefully).

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

Alright, let's not beat around the bush. By now most of you probably know I always take a look at upcoming Community Days and how the recipient of the day's special treatment and exclusive move performs in PvP. I've actuallly been doing it each month for the last year already, starting with Alakazam in April 2020, the first Community Day during the mass world shutdowns began for COVID-19 (after it was pushed back from March 2020... remember that?). What a year it's been since then, huh? I hope this finds you in a much better place than we were then, hopefully able to get out and actually hunt for some good Swablu this Saturday. Because yes... Swablu Community Day is THIS Saturday already! So like I said, let's not waste any time... here we go!

ALTARIA

Dragon/Flying Type

GREAT LEAGUE:

Attack: 103 (101 High Stat Product)

Defense: 153 (155 High Stat Product)

HP: 136 (141 High Stat Product)

(Highest Stat Product IVs: 0-14-15, 1497 CP, Level 29)

ULTRA LEAGUE:

Not a ton to say here, as Flying Dragons and Altaria in particular are pretty well established in PvP already, but to be thorough....

The pros and cons of Dragon types are pretty famous: resists all the "elements" (Grass, Fire, Water, Electric), weak to Ice, Fairy, and other Dragons. And that's it. But it's when you add in Altaria's Flying half that both lists change rather dramatically. Fire and Water are still resisted, but Electric goes to neutral damage and Grass becomes double resisted. Flying also resists Bug and Fighting damage, so Altaria resists those as well. On the downside, it picks up a weakness to Rock damage, and its famous double weakness now to Ice... Dragons (and especially Flying ones) could singlehandedly keep Ices in business all by themselves!

As an aside, while I am not going to be doing any real analysis on Mega Altaria, this is at least a decent place to go over its basic stats and pros/cons of its unique Dragon/Fairy typing. It's more Attack-centric, having about 20 more Attack than regular Altaria in Great League and about 40 more in Ultra League, but at the cost of not being nearly as bulky: about 25 less Defense/30 l

In the last 18 months my wife and I have not had any type of trips or vacations or even a weekend without the kids at home. So I decided I would plan a little weekend getaway to New York City. We Donny live super far it’s about a 2 hour drive. So I get tickets to go see Wicked on Broadway, make reservations at what I’m told is one of the best steak houses in NYC, and plan some other small things. I’m super excited and after I plan everything and get the babysitter situation handled I tell her. She is HYPED, can’t wait. It’s been a long year and we def need this. So the next day i go into work and I tell my boss about the planned trip. Now just for some background my boss is only about 6-7 years older than I am and he wasn’t always my boss we were co-workers then he got a promotion. We were friendly before but because he became management it makes hanging out kind of awkward because there’s things you can say and do around friends that you can’t do around your boss. And we were super duper friends before. So after I tell him about the trip he says “Aww man that sounds awesome I would love to do something like that but can’t because of the kids. So next day, actually yesterday, he asks me what’s the exact date of my trip so he can mark it on the calendar, because I would be taking the Friday off. I tell him and then leave for lunch. Around 3:00pm he comes into my office super excited and says “guess what? We may be seeing each other in NYC!” I have a confused look on my face. He says him and his wife liked my idea so much they planned a trip similar. They booked reservations for the same show and restaurants at the same exact times as us and also booked the same boat tour at the same time. He was super excited saying we could all hang out and have such a great time. I WAS PISSED. Luckily I bought ticket insurance on the Broadway show and the Airbnb was refundable before 72 hours after making the reservations. I was able to just cancel and rebooked everything for the following weekend. I haven’t told my boss yet but I know he is gonna be hurt. I just wanted a nice weekend away with my wife alone. I asked some of my friends and they seem to be split 70/30 NTA/AH. I could be the asshole because I secretly pushed my trip back a week without telling him after he was super excited that we would be able to hangout but I just want alone time with my wife not a group trip. AITA?

Hi folks,

There is a new bling command. If you give it something in your inventory to mark as bling, then that item will show up at the top of the list when others look at you. (Your worn/wielded items show after the bling list.)

You can only show N items as bling, where N is 1 plus your VIP level. When someone looks at you, the game looks through your top-level inventory, finds the first N items marked as bling, and shows those, followed by the usual worn/wielded/offered items.

If you put a bling item in a bag, it will not show up for others.

The bling command is a toggle, so if you:

bling private jet
bling private jet

then it will bling it, then un-bling it.

If you type bling with no arguments, it will show which items you have marked as bling.

The command takes numbers after names, like most commands in the game, so for example you can "bling bag 3" if you want to bling the 3rd item in your inventory whose name matches "bag".

I wrote this command in a super-duper hurry, to get it in before the reboot today, so there may be bugs. Let me know.

Also let me know if you can think of any desirable enhancements. One thing I'd like to do if there's demand is show the pictures of the items as well as the items themselves, but that's tricky to do in the server output window, and might require showing the items in a popup list. Would that be OK?

I find with TF2 nowadays (especially in specific community servers) you get one of two matches - either your team wins solidly, or your team loses solidly. The former just feels awful - you have the players who are super duper well coordinated, who are seemlessly working together to get through chokes, everything, etc. and are constantly pushing up. Even though it's a public community server, it feels like I'm playing a fucking 6v6 invite game with how aggressive some people get. Obviously, that's not on them - that's on me. But it's still frustrating to play against and constantly lose because I don't know what I should be taking from it.

Like if I'm on say, Process, and our entire team gets wiped. The other team has played UGC Plat or some shit, they know how to play the game, they're all pumped and ready and they wipe us clean off the face of the Earth. What should I take away from that, other than just "Well, they're better than me"? Especially if it feels like nothing I throw at them works.

In more specific situations, sometimes you just have games where you get washed by one specific player. I could be playing Scout, who is really good at just 1v1ing most classes, and I get washed by every Solider or Demo under the sun. Even if it's a complete 1v1, and I have the advantage running in, I still just miss all my shots or they manage to aim theirs really well and I am just constantly at their beck and call to be another mark on their stranges. Sure, I can practice with these classes in MGE, but what else am I supposed to do other than that? MGE only goes so far, and I don't want to be one of those Scout players that just practices MGE 24/7 and cares way too much about the 1v1s.

tl;dr What do I take away from getting stomped, either by an entire enemy team or in 1v1s? What should I be trying to learn from these situations other than understanding there's a skill gap between me and them? It's just frustrating going in and eating shit every time I play because the 6s players can't find any pug games and need to take it out on some people. I want to at least feel competent in the game, but I just can't get that. Is it really as simple as "play the game more"?

Names are weird. They grant us an identity and we cling onto them with everything we have in desperate need to keep that individuality that we all crave. Names are part of us. They’re the most important component in building a person. Without a name, we are nothing. We’re just flesh and bone and muscle entwined together.

My name is Eve.

I’m seventeen years old.

I’ve been quarantined inside Ace Academy for 21 days, eighteen hours, and six minutes. You don’t know of Ace Academy. If you did, I wouldn’t be writing this. Our school and the situation within its grounds has been hidden for 21 days, eighteen hours and six minutes. And I want to tell you what is going on. I want to tell you why we are monitored 24 hours a day. Why blood paints every wall like a caveman painting, our classrooms reduced to rubble. Ace Academy is located in Portland, Oregon.

It’s an arts school which doubles as a boarding school. At least that’s what it is externally. In reality, Ace Academy is a dumping ground for kids whose parents don’t want them. Beginnings are always a good way to start so I will start with mine. I don’t have much of one though, so bear with me. I’ll try and explain it the best way I can. So, imagine you walk into a room and forget why you walked in there, and what it was you were doing. It’s that one second of disorientation and confusion, a wave of mind fog choking your brain. It might come to you, it might not. But you get on with your day and forget about it. That moment of disorientation, that lapse in memory that is more of an inconvenience to you, that is my life.

I don’t remember things. The only way I can is writing down my experiences in my notebook. At some point I wrote down my condition right at the beginning of the book. I wrote in blue biro and traced it with red crayon, probably so it stands out. I doodled little cartoon characters around it, again, most likely to get my own attention. I don’t know what the cartoon characters are. I don’t know their names, and I can’t connect them to any memories or experiences in my life. That is strange to you. You’re probably wondering why I’m like this and I’ll do my best to tell you. According to my own words, my brain doesn’t work the way it should. There is a part of the human memory called episodic memory. It stores your personal experiences, what you see and hear.

The area of the brain responsible is called the Hippocampus. If something goes wrong there, the brain experienc

Context

I live in a West Coast city where, like many places, there's been a good chunk of people of have come out better financially because of the pandemic, lots have stayed steady and tried to make the best of it, and a HOARD of people who have been deeply fucked over.

Another factor that's at play in my story is the explosion in spending on home goods. Did You Know ThAT Millennials Love Plants? Hell, I went down a new plant rabbit holeas I googled for those links. In my city and among my friends, the drift of the trend has been people who were sorta into houseplants getting really into houseplants. People who held the kinds of jobs that gave them a reasonable amount of disposable income that were suddenly all working from home looked around their apartments and dusted off the pothos vine in the corner and got in. I got into a bunch of local houseplant Facebook groups. These groups are the best places to very easily swap for, request or cheaply buy fun plant stuff. There's definitely a streak of performative wokeness in these groups. One non plant only Buy nothing group I'm has a practice of givers marking items BIPOC preferred/only to indicate that they'd like to/will only give the item to a personal of color. This started last June, and I've seen some really thoughtful gives to people of color in a way that acknowledged systemic wealth disparities. I've also seen it used in ways that 100% read as "(i'm a good person who cares about black people!) Who wants my lightly used makeup??".

The tone of the way these groups talk about houseplants is very feel good liberal stuff. Taking care of plants reminds people to take care of themselves. Having a new hobby distracts you from pandemic worries. [Propagating](https://www.dwell.com/article/how-to-prop
