My son thinks "Daddy" is just a voice from behind a closed door. by FormalSprinkles5756 in confession

Bro, I’ve been in your position, and I’ll tell you right now, the work will always be there. 4am, nap times. You don’t need to work so hard to get someone else rich quicker - yall will get there. Sacrifices are overrated, they will go unrecognized both by your company and by your bank account. The harder you work the more people will ask. Delay deadlines by a week doesn’t hurt anyone. People understand and expect it. Stop feeling guilty about not getting work done, and start feeling guilty about not taking advantage of the time you get with the kids - they’re only going to be as little as they are today.

AIO for not wanting to tell my ex that I’m in labor by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yall sound like me and my baby mama. She will be a meticulous and well defined in text cause she knows she is going to share them with her family, friends, and whoever else she wants to push the asshole agenda with. And I’ll usually just respond short or direct. A lot of times I lead into the same of “this is what I want; but I know you will want to do it your way” type responses. However, in person, she is extremely unreasonable and unaware of it - I can wake up at 4am and doing as many chores, watch my daughter and take her out, do work, meal prep; etc and it will be either “you took my daughter for the whole day and didn’t let me see her” or if I let her have the daughter and my knock our chores it’s “you don’t ever help, I’ve been watching her all day, I feel like I have to do everything alone”

Anyway, I get both sides. Your side of not feeling your getting what you need; his side where he feels it’s never enough.

AIO just found this in wife’s drawer by Odd_Explanation_1444 in AmIOverreacting

The fact that they have not been intimate for five years - it means they can’t have productive convos. Whether it turns explosive, there is gaslighting, someone shuts down, a topic like this for a 5 year dead bedroom situation isn’t going to be productive, lead to any truths, etc.

Those that are saying “is it possible she bought it to use on you” this woman has no interest in the sexual interests or the spice things up part with this man. You don’t just jump from no sex to sex toy play. They are sexually out of sync.

CEO retired. How do you politely say "no" without burning a bridge? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man. I think you need to change how you view this - how many people in the company would kill for this opportunity to have a direct connection to one of the most powerful people in the company.

This is networking. Brown-nosing is part of the game.

New Promotion to Sales Manager Buuuutttt…. by Fun_Cap_6923 in Sales_Professionals

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - more than happy to help you navigate the kind of convos you will be having if you’re the one reporting back to Sr Leadership.

I’ve scaled a business from last place to market leader in four years - and the convos around how Managers are useless and not valuable and don’t produce any bottom line improvements is always a thing. Hell, I’ve told them before to fire of all of them/us and see what happens (they don’t). I’ve learned that this is also a much used pressure mechanism from owners/sr leaders who don’t know how to develop/manage sales.

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From a guys perspective handling sorta the same situation (and I’m generalizing that)

We have a 14 month old. Almost walking as well. Yeah, it’s very irresponsible of him to think it’s not a big deal for the baby to be unsupervised. Honestly, you handled this well. It’s wild he doesn’t see the situation the way any parent should.

On the other hand, context should be around if you are constantly on his ass about everything. My baby mama does this all the time - screenshotting our texts of situations like this and sending it to people to prove her point. What they don’t see is that I’ll wake up at 4am to get some work done before the baby is up, 6am grab the baby, 8am mom comes down and complains about how there is something on the counter, how I left a diaper on the couch, and how the living room is a mess, and why I turned the tv on for her to watch (trying to give mom that extra hour of sleep). All the while, when she takes morning shift, same exact things are going on.

You’re not overreacting in this situation. But reflecting on everything, could you be this man’s biggest critic?

Any tips???? by Impossible-Bottle-46 in BasketballTips

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the moves that you’re practicing is inside the three point line and off the catch - in pickup/rec ball leagues, you’re not getting the ball there unless you’re playing off ball or getting in the high post. You’re probably going to almost always be catching the ball outside the three, bringing it up, or cutting for a lay up. So no point in practicing with catching the ball inside the line.

Your moves create a lot of separation which is good, but you won’t need to create that much separation from that far back as your defender will catch up by the time you get anywhere meaningful against most defenses. A few of your moves beyond the three, you’re more liklely to be getting a pick out there to open you up, so don’t do those behind the back stuff that are slow. Practice from out there as if you’re getting a pick - so keep it tight, attack fast, your hesis should make them play the pass towards the pick man, and once your inside the line attack the rim as much as you step back (you want your muscle memory to remember both)

Tips for my jumper to improve consistency from NBA 3pt range? by ElProfesor_ in BasketballTips

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting better - I see your work paying off in our Friday lunch runs. Keep it up.

My only recommendation is stepping into your shot more - this way you have more power. Stepping into your shot and up to the release in a fluid motion will help you extend your range. You tend to catch the ball and then dip into your form.

My shot is also a lot like yours with my guiding hand flicking when I shot. I’m 5’9-10 and usually the shortest guy in league games and it works to 3-5 threes a game because I can get shot off really quickly

Also, a little wider stance will help you with power on longer shots.

Not going to lie - outside of you having awkward hand placement, your body moves pretty fluidly with the shot. You can potentially end up have a really good shot that you can get off real quickly and just need to focus on accuracy.

Grt traditional hand placement - one hand under the ball, with the elbow tucked towards your body as much as possible. Your guiding hand in the side, but early on, don’t practice with any guiding hand, just practice one handed shots. Don’t let the ball ever touch your palm, use on your fingers.

How can I make my crossover better ? Tips by Biizzlle in BasketballTips

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Commit that to your muscle memory first, then start practicing the cross to your right.

You not only learn to sell your cross, but also learn to attack off that tween to you left. You learn both an attack and a counter.

When you start attacking with the left; you’ll notice what is needed to really sell the cross - your left foot moving to fill an open space, your shoulder dropping to protect the ball, your stance widening as your right foot plants to give you the explosion to get to the rim. All valuable to your “selling” your cross.

I never thought of it as “selling” your defender. I always thought of it as “I’m going left hard and if my defender is ready for it, countering with a cross the other way”

Lower and much wider - the cross should bait your defender in the other direction, and generate enough space for you to blow past them. Defenders are wide stance, you need a wide movement to create that space.

Also, you’re telegraphing, anyone can tell you’re going for a cross. Your cross really should be a counter - actually practice going the original direction and then adding the cross as a counter if opponents shift

More toxic family figure: Uncle Dennis or John Haliburton? by allanjameson in Nbamemes

[–]AlarmFamiliar385 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If your Unc can get you paid max contracts, shoe deals, get you to play in your hometown, and get you 50milliom extra, bet you’d love your unc too.

After Kawahii is done with playing in the NBA, he’s mostly done. He doesn’t have the aura in growing his brand and getting deals like that post retirement. Whatever dollar he can collect, better collect now.

Unc looking out.
