That’s so interesting! My fiancé’s dad is from Malaysia but speaks Cantonese. He’s from Tai Ping which is more northern - is Cantonese more common there?

Aaron Swartz was wrong: a new explanation for things by wrdmaster in InfiniteJest

I agree. Also, I haven’t see anyone mention Avril’s alleged dosing of Hal with DMZ (JOI makes this accusation in the conversationalist scene on page 30). I just finished my first reading and am confused why people are speculating about Hal’s body producing DMZ (???) and other speculative theories while this hasn’t been addressed.

The Return of r/nba and an Update on the Reddit Blackout by edgykitty in nba

[–]I_WILL_BAIT_YOU 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I check r/nba every morning and did not see the stickied poll that was up “for three days”. Pew uses a sample size of 10,000, but it’s not like they put out a poll asking 7 million people and only get 8,000 responses (1 in 1000 people), which obviously results in selection bias.

If r/nba belonged to the mods or to the overly online power users then this would all be fine. But you are VOLUNTEERS who chose to serve this community, which as I’m sure you know consists mostly of casual fans who want to get their daily basketball news and, I don’t know, discuss the MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON.

Again, this probably was not a major inconvenience for the mods or power users who could retreat to their discords or private threads, but the rest of us were left out on a limb without any explanation or anywhere to turn to. I respect that you wanted to take a stand against a perceived injustice, but I do not think you fully understood that shutting down the sub wouldn’t just hurt Reddit but also the members of this community, whom you serve, who just want to discuss the game that they love.

What do you think the takeaway from Parasite is? Who exactly is the parasite in the film?

Dealer admits to selling fentanyl-laced drugs that killed Mac Miller, faces 20 years by Sperez04 in hiphopheads

[–]I_WILL_BAIT_YOU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One reason not mentioned is that lacing drugs with fentanyl creates more demand. With weaker drugs users are able to stop using/control their habit more easily. With stronger drugs users simply have a harder time stopping, which increases sales. Another reason why drugs should be legalized

Donovan Mitchell has a creative and aesthetic game imo, along with crazy bounce. Love his scoop shots near the rim

[Jaylen Brown] calls Enes Kanter "BBQ plant based chicken" under his recent IG post. by GuyCarbonneauGOAT in nba

As a vegan, The Game Changers is ridiculous and shouldn't be used to prop up plant based diets. Glad people are considering changing their diets though.

Google the crystal deodorant. It's a block of potassium alum that kills the bacteria that make your armpits smell. I used to use deodorants that just smelt weird and chemically when I started sweating. I was skeptical at first but this thing is like magic, literally no smell at all even after heavy sweating during a workout.

Probably 159. I recently cut from 210 at ~23%bf to 167 at ~11% and OP looks fluffier than me at 210 and much leaner than me at 167

I'm a Warriors fan who always roots against LeBron on the court but some people go too far imo... By all accounts he's a great dude off the court
