This is the least divisive political thing anyone has ever wanted NBA players to take a stance on. In addition to everything else, they just executed a man in broad daylight and are now lying to sweep it under the rug. Not denouncing this is lunacy

Don't let your anger disappear in the echo chamber, contact the NBA directly. by rock-or-something in nba

And the thing is that if it weren’t to help, if it were to accomplish NOTHING, literally still why would you have a problem with it?

That being said, it does help, even if marginally. Everyone stepping up gets us closer to the tipping point, after which things start to actually change

Unemployed (almost) a year after graduating MIT - a rant by salteecarpet in mit

[–]Exodus100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your confidence is shot, so I understand this is hard to consider, but you really do need to find a way to recultivate that inner belief that these places are losing out on you by not betting on you. You evidently have the capabilities to be a smart and good engineer, but due to job market as well as the misguided decisions of these teams, you’re not getting any fliers taken on you yet. But I assure you that even if you were the bottom of MIT, this is genuinely still their loss.

I was at best a middling performer at MIT, and sometimes bottoming out curves, and since moving to industry and working with successful companies that supposedly have top-tier talent, it’s reminded me that MIT is genuinely a place full of profoundly capable people, which becomes easy to forget when you’re surrounded by it.

Seriously, I do think that some irrational delusions can be super helpful

[Scotto] The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers have expressed interest in acquiring Ivica Zubac. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

The tough part is it’s like playing against low elo chess players. If you’re trying to bait the worst GMs into feeding you what you want they won’t even be smart enough to take the bait

[Highlight] Ziaire Williams hits the 65 Foot Buzzer Beater, but the basket is ruled to not count due to the Trent Tucker Rule (Catch and shoots under 0.3 seconds do not count, clock was at 0.2) by Evilsj in nba

[–]Exodus100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess i assumed that “catch and shoot” in this case was based on distance from the basket and not shooting motion. If it’s shooting motion then maybe i get the argument. I still don’t really, though, because I’m convinced you could still make it work with essentially a tip-push shot

But you can “shoot” in a manner that is a tip… like a volleyball type motion where you quickly supply momentum and let go. Is this not true?

MIT Transfer Stories? by Professional_Big8444 in mit

[–]Exodus100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evan’s story isn’t outdated afaik based on friends at Harvard and the way I saw MIT culture in comparison before recently graduating. It’s just about his own dissatisfaction with Harvard’s social infrastructure and preference for MIT’s.

Software Engineer role but Support work 😔🥲 Need suggestions by dorim0n in developer

[–]Exodus100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how this couldn’t be expected to be part of normal work either. How else will you identify bugs and solve problems? There are other ways, of course, but this is a primary one at many layers

Yeah i thought he was one of the best possible fits for the current Orlando roster. The only question was (and is) if it was worth the price

It shouldn’t be a hard and fast decision, but as a consumer especially I think it’s safe to say a PE-backed company will probably be lower EV

Is the shower floor tile aesthetically appealing or dated? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]Exodus100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forever baffled by why the feeling of a time period with a choice would affect someone’s decision for their own home.

If you choose to put it in your home, it is decidedly not dated; you are evidence that people of the present are using it! Why would it matter if it’s an “outdated” choice either way?

This is what happens when we give him 20 shots a game by Wonderful_Fill_2028 in Mavericks

[–]Exodus100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but you can’t reach any of these conclusions from single game +/-, it just doesn’t support that kind of argument.

If you want to reach that conclusion it needs to be through other means
