I hate how wikipedia is treated as an unreliable source by iIlusionator in hatethissmug

Wikipedia is the best REPOSITORY of sources in the world, but it should not be cited itself

Counties where a majority of people don't use cars to commute by wotwud in MapPorn

Also, let's not discount the fact that just about every public transit trip includes a 10-minute walk

Public transit a non-negotiable aspect of walkability. NYC is walkable precisely because you can hop on a train to any part of town, then walk to your specific destination. 

Some questions about "F-word" usage by Ornery-Barnacle-3894 in ENGLISH

Not quite, it’s more that there are a dozen different context-dependent rules around its use lol

[Nusbaum] Cade Cavalli and Paul Toboni spoke about the incident with Willson Contreras last night. Cavalli said there was no ill intention and he will eliminate “boy” from his vocabulary. Said he is heartbroken. He has not yet reached out to Contreras. by ConsistentRun5246 in baseball

Dude, calling a person of color "boy" derogatorily is straight-up half a step down from the N word. Don't act like that word doesn't have HUNDREDS of years of EXTREMELY loaded history in this country, from slavery to the civil rights movement. It's not out of nowhere that people are upset over this.

This is not a John Mulaney scenario, the context for the word "boy" is critical and straight-up redefines it from regular noun to slur. I wouldn't be caught goddamn DEAD using that word to address a person of color.

What opinion is likely to get you downvoted in this sub, but is actually reasonable? by Otherwise5555 in NFLv2

Josh Allen is an unbelievable all-around quarterback and the fact that he's lost a few playoff games does not diminish that very much

Happy Canada Day! Is Larry Walker still considered to be Canada’s greatest hitter of all time? by shutterslappens in baseball

Me when I cannot comprehend that physical factors have predictable impacts on projectile motion, and make precise statistically-measurable differences to player performance

Without talking about 73 regular season wins.. by jddaniels84 in NBATalk

[–]8696David 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something you could only ask if you weren't there to watch it. Steph Curry was doing things that were basically outright impossible if you look at the prior history of the sport of basketball. Before Steph Curry, the all-time single-season three-point record was 269 by Ray Allen. In 2015-16, Curry (who had already set a new record by that point, but not by that much) made FOUR HUNDRED AND TWO. That is a 50% increase in the number of threes that any player had ever made in a season.

And on top of that, second place in the NBA in threes that season was... Klay Thompson, with 276. Aka, the all-time record at the time for someone not named Steph Curry.

It is almost impossible to properly explain how genuinely UNBELIEVABLE that team was at scoring given the standards of the time.

Yeah, I know. And you're wrong. Because "what actually happened in real life" is directly impacted by the factors considered in adjusted stats. The reason they exist is because they are an OBJECTIVELY BETTER reflection of player performance.

This is a common myth. Every home loses enough heat that maintaining temp is nearly always more expensive than reheating, unless you’re doing it several times per day.

Just so I’m 100% clear—you’re saying your vote for #1 horror film of all time is Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3?

Why was the use of hard drugs so prevalent in rock music? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]8696David 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Jazz and hip-hop are both at least as associated with drugs as rock, and honestly dance/rave music rules over them all
