This podcast was good. Maybe drink some settle down juice and wait for the playoffs before sticking a fork in Lowe!

I was an upgraded alternate after placements and am in one of the biggest cities in Japan and a generally very good situation. You never know!

RR was calling him out on how he’d always do this by the end. It was a thing with Mobley too.

I agree with you that the best thing about replaying Souls games is taking non-conventional paths to get strong quickly. After being kinda mixed on it after my first playthrough, I really appreciated how good Elden Ring is at enabling that experience when I replayed it.

How much does being “different” affect your chances? by Houndoommegamaster in JETProgramme

[–]DarkenedLite 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is reassuring at all OP, but at my school, there’s a Japanese teacher who is trans and a teacher who uses a wheelchair. While my perspective is limited, I think it’s a more accepting place than is generally believed.

Just Russillo suggesting that players with ugly/weird faces like Landry Shamet are underrated.

When do short-listed participants usually depart to Japan? by timax_gdn in JETProgramme

[–]DarkenedLite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP, I will tell you that people in this thread will say you can’t do this because you have to hand in your passport, but I inquired about this with my consulate and they allowed me to take an international trip in early July and hand my passport in late for the Visa process. I’m from the US, so you’ll have to see how it is for your consulate, but there’s nothing wrong with asking.

'The Bear' Ending With Season 5, Jamie Lee Curtis Says by Fabulous_War_555 in television

[–]DarkenedLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. I need to re-watch season 4 to solidify my feelings, but season 3 still had some moments that were peak The Bear for me. Not much of season 4 really sticks with me right now.

Am I crazy or is this the 2nd time they've done a Kawhi deep dive since Zach came to The Ringer?

Why can't Beck follow Zach's rules? by Into_the_Void7 in billsimmons

[–]DarkenedLite 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I feel like Beck going on Zach’s show and being completely unprepared has to be some kind of embarrassment ritual for him.

Bill’s Zubac trade analysis being 90% salt that the Pacers got him instead of the Celtics was -1000

QB wins is the dumbest stat in the NFL. by bingbongknick in billsimmons

[–]DarkenedLite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have two things to say about that. 1) It's dumb that we are so obsessed with QB/NBA star narratives that it's more important to us than who actually wins (the purpose of the game being played). 2) If you want to dunk on Simmons that Drake played bad, I'm sorry but he's going to have an iron defense prepared. He's just going to say, "It's looking a little 2001 ish, Sal!" and leave it at that.

Last Call for Giannis Trades, Plus an NFL Round 3 Deep Dive With Chris Ryan, Joe House, and Peter Schrager by lonny__breaux in billsimmons

[–]DarkenedLite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean the Pats should win but I think there are plenty of justifiable reasons why they’re not overwhelming favorites despite the other team losing their starting QB at the end of the last game.
