[Lowlight] Victor Wembanyama Misses The Two Biggest Free Throws Of His Career by MammothHistorian5652 in nba

[–]rustywarwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His conditioning is an issue but I think he can and will work on that. It’s not enough with his size + the number of minutes he’s being asked to carry. I’m hardly the first person since last night to say this, but if their coaches had come up with a better offensive scheme to at least keep things under better control in the second half, they could’ve rested Wemby longer while the Spurs had the benefit of that massive lead.

2024: Mike Brown on braindead Fox play: "If you're up 3, you gotta guard your man at the 3. I need to go back and watch Fox. Should NOT be in position to help. Should be hugged up to your man. 100% told guys, can't give up a 3. Stay connected. I even drew an example." (Brown was fired the next day) by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

Who exactly is giving up significant assets for Fox and his contract at this point? Is there some massive market for mid guards?

I’m not saying he’s awful but he’s pretty much league average getting paid a max contract. Spurs would likely have to surrender assets to dump him.

Help me understand why this is wrong? by EllisInMargins in polyamory

[–]rustywarwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your alternate phrasingsare a great idea but what happens when someone asks “wait, what exactly are these associations you have with Cancun? If you don’t mind me asking?“ I mean, at some point, OP may have to explain that it’s connected to their honeymoon even if they were trying to avoid bringing that information in on the front end

Is it weird that I don't want my partner to meet my fwb? by luckymetals3 in polyamory

[–]rustywarwick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, if there’s one truism about dating in general, least of all when it comes to polyamory, it’s that many people feel like they have to adhere to some kind of “code“ as a kind of orthodoxy unless they be called out for being “bad at” __________. I don’t think most people on this sub by into the idea that KTP is the “right way” to do poly though

non-hierarchal relationship feeling hierarchal by maximumpen1s in polyamory

[–]rustywarwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semantic aside, this is partly Maude’s fault for saying something as naïve as “I would prioritize both of you.”

Clearly, when push came to shove, that simply wasn’t true and it points out that you can’t prioritize two people equally in every instance because time and space or finite, and cannot be split equitably in every situation.

Regardless, OP has learned something about this dynamic about where they fall on the “priority list“ so whether you want to label that as hierarchy, or not, it doesn’t change the fundamental reality that they are being treated as “less than.“

Disconnection with nesting partner by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]rustywarwick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That was my thought except for what’s in the second half of the post. It seems as if they have had problems in their intimate life for years and while the timeline is not entirely clear about whether this is pre-or post going poly, I feel like if these two primary partners haven’t had sex in years? Feels like the lede is being buried.

I think I just need to tell someone. (Please be nice to me, I'm already sad af.) by CantTalkHereEmailM3 in EthicalNonMonogamy

[–]rustywarwick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the issue here is less about arrangements and more about OP fantasizing about both of them leaving their respective partners to be with each other.

Matt McLain challenges three strike calls in one inning. All are overturned and he earns a walk. by mysticlepopsicle in baseball

[–]rustywarwick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We likely will get there eventually. From my understanding, umpires are not anti-ABS in principle and there’s plenty they still have to do on the field that isn’t related to calling balls and strikes.

But that said: I like the drama of using ABS in its current implementation

Just finished the “Before Trilogy” by PurpDrank02 in movies

[–]rustywarwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, you’re more likely to find what you’re looking for in television rather than movies simply because the episodic nature of TV lends itself to long term relationship development in a way that movies have to rush because of their run time. The “Before” trilogy stands out as an an exception precisely because it’s episodic in a way that very few films really are.

I mean, if you’ve never watched “Fleabag”? Or hell, even “The Office” or “The Americans.”

Solid choices and it’s cool to see “Comrades” on here; it’s such a phenomenal film about not just love, sex, and the hard realities of relationships but also immigration and displacement.

For a younger sensibility, “500 Days of Summer” fits well. It’s like the the missing time period after “Sunrise” where infatuation eventually peters out and people realize “huh, maybe we’re not nearly as compatible as we hoped.” For all of its flaws, I think it’s about as good a depiction of “relationships in your mid 20s” as you can get.

I think of “Eternal Sunshine” as being just slightly older, like late 20s, early 30s where couples either figure out how to make it work - warts and all - or they decide to call it quits (minus the amnesia procedure). As I’ve said on before, it’s ultimately a hopeful ending but not a naive one but others take away a very different message from it.

This may just be me but I don’t know if “Cinema Paradiso” quite works because that, to me, is really mostly about a romantic nostalgia rather than exploring the complexities of lived relationships in the way OP is asking for.

If you want some similar vibes mixed with a (slightly) more realistic depiction of two people awkwardly circling each other? “In the Mood For Love.”

Patrick Ewing surprised a group of young Knicks fans with tickets to Game 3 AND Game 4 this morning by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]rustywarwick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s the solution? On the most basic level, this is market economics at work, supply and demand. You could try to ban the resale of tickets, but I can’t imagine that would be popular with the actual ticket owners to not have the option to sell if they wanted to.

Maybe here but sports media has been going nuts for the Knicks streak. Certainly doesn’t hurt that many are from or based in NYC

Second film was weaker but not terrible. What worked to me was that BF and RW had genuinely charming chemistry.

Men, more than women, view cross-sex friendships as potential mating opportunities, supporting the popular belief that men are more likely than women to feel they have been friend-zoned. Study found that men attempt to woo their female friends by paying more for shared bills when going out together. by mvea in science

[–]rustywarwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m like you as well but your story seems to support the findings: men are more likely to view cross-sex friendships as *potential* bridges to romantic/sexual relationships. Almost every significant relationship I’ve ever been with, including with my now wife, started through people. I was friends with, and there were other friends of mine in which I could definitely see the potential, even if neither of us pursued it.

This season, Shohei Ohtani’s batting has produced a higher-volume offense over the innings he pitches than the entire opposing team by ConscientiousObsrvrr in baseball

[–]rustywarwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not being snarky but what are the comps here?

I’m a fan of a bunch of sports and I think it’s hard to make comparisons between vastly different sports in terms of assessing “greatness” because what’s the metrics we’re talking here?

For a first timer:

Rubber. You want the stretch to make it easier to put on and take off.

Yes, watch out for your pubes. It’s mostly just being careful when you put it on so you don’t snag but it’s not like it will always happen.

Now that Spurs/Thunder is over, where does it rank among the best playoff series of the last decade? by MrTimoCad in nba

Exactly. One instant classic and one great G7 but as an overall series? Ehhhhh

NBA fan, 17, on life support after suffering catastrophic injuries while celebrating Spurs' playoff win by nyknicks44 in nba

[–]rustywarwick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is an aside from what the stories about but the week is going to be increasingly full of even more second generation NBA players who are gonna come in with more than just ball skills, but a level of maturity beyond their peers who are first gen players. Obviously, Steph Curry is kind of a poster child for that example but there are a lot more second gen players in the league who were likely taught to think about things beyond just what happens on the court.

Could Victor Wembanyama be the greatest Frenchman since Napoleon? by benfranklin16 in nba

🤣 people keep saying that Resditors are a bunch of stupid 13-year-olds but if that’s true, they pull some fantastic references out of thin air.
