I don’t have cataracts smh

My lens is just shaped dumber than the average person’s, to match the rest of my disgustingly asymmetric face 

I would complain a lot less (and still be able to legally drive) if I lost the left one...so I think that for me that's a pretty good reason to prefer the good one.

Because "preferred" is a stupid way to put it. I feel like "good eye" would confuse way fewer people.

For example, my right eye is OBJECTIVELY the good one because it makes my vision perfectly clear overall even though my left is something like 20/300. I don't need glasses but closing the right eye makes it so I can't read anything at all unless I get really close to it. The left eye is marginally better at focusing at incredibly close range (i.e. the letters on my computer keyboard are clearer with that one when I put my face 2 inches away from it) but I've never found a real-world situation that worked better left-eye-specific.

Which one is better isn't a matter of opinion, so asking an opinion-based question about it would be (at least in my case) framing it wrong.

I assume you know this but it's 12% of the listed attribute numbers. Spending some amount to get to a 90 will get you depreciated by 12% of 90, which is about 50 as it rolls back to 80.

I think there are issues with depreciation but that itself isn't my issue with it. I think it's fair that higher earners who upgrade their players more also get taxed more when the time comes, because otherwise they'd just get to spend their last seasons widening the gap.

My main issue is with why exactly that 12% exists and how to get to it--you can avoid it entirely by just...not coming up to the VHL for a season. As a development league commissioner, this is something that infuriates me because I think the last thing we should ever be doing is giving any player a reason to not develop. And I get that it remains a personal choice whether someone comes up or not, but I think we'll see quite a few players making that personal choice a certain way because of what will happen to their player if they don't. I still take this as a reason why we should move to slowly phasing out the E, but until the other leagues have the space to take it on I won't be making a proposal out of it.

Well holy shit, I think you win. I completely forgot about that and I like that it's faded away. My relatively harmless candidates:

-The horrible S69 recruitment drive that gave us ~120 new goalies, none of which stuck around

-Me spending about $25 of my own money to mail a bottle of kranch across the continent and across a border to Beav (yes, I had to fill out paperwork)

-The absolute insanity that was VHLM GM chat in the mid-S60s

-st4rface

-"That" Slobo thread

I think I've been denied three times. 

Once in my first season when I said "upvoted" in a Reddit recruitment thread and didn't specify which specific post(s) I upvoted, even though everyone did that both before and since.

Once far later (like a year ago maybe) for my .com article not being on-topic enough. I disagreed with it enough and was petty enough to make the article that was approved about how I didn't like the decision, but I guess the reasoning was fair.

Once a couple seasons ago for linking directly to my affiliate check claim in my update rather than posting in the affiliate check thread. I figured that would make it one less click to verify that I did the thing, but apparently following meaningless procedures is important to some.

The most fair one of those was Spartan (the others weren't) and I've never been denied for word count 

Right now. Give ART VANDELAY a time and a place.

Yeah "I'll make sense of a certain aspect of STHS" pretty much invariably ends in either nothing meaningful being found or someone reaching an entirely incorrect conclusion and reporting it as scientific fact. The amount of times I've seen "STHS works this way" with either zero evidence, conflicting results, or some super broad assumption/cherry-picking far outweighs what I've seen that might actually be valid.

If you've been uploading images in the past, the forum only gives you so much image hosting space. You've just used up all but that much.

Always just upload to Imgur --> copy image address --> paste for images without that limitation
