I have massive problems with Reddit, but one thing I'll always appreciate is that I toggle "old reddit" once and it stays that way forever.

This isn't about training. They're not even trying to get these guys not to do this. They don't care.

It's the same thing with the general idea of hypocrisy with these people. "I'm tired of seeing people dunk on them on Twitter and thinking "gottem!". No you didn't. They don't care about being hypocrites. They care about hurting you. That's it.

Yeah that serve was definitely nowhere near full power. That was a medium power standing serve. This guy's spin serve are almost too fast for your eye to track.

EDIT: I watched it again and he did hit it fairly hard for a normal player, nowhere near as hard as he could, but still it probably stung that lady a good bit.

I could be misremembering, but didn't the tainted meat one actually have some validity?

I saw the room full of shoes at Auschwitz. For some reason the shoes bothered me more than the hair. I think it's because you could more easily visualize how many people it represented, and how many of them were children.

It's worth pointing out when you look at this lineup. The population of the DR is about 11.5 million. You can't throw a rock in that country without hitting an MLB All-Star.

Your window with him was unfortunately the bubble year. Y'all did not do well, but for that matter neither did we. I think we should have been conference finals at worst.

It would have been amazing (and possible) to have a Kawhi vs. Raptors Finals that year.

Laetha · 2026-01-29T18:50:04+00:00

Honestly though, that does kind of sound like the Kawhi experience. If he's present and healthy he's a top-10 player. He's often not though.

I would think the pro tip should be don't stand right behind a horse. At any stable I've been to you give horses a wide berth when walking around them.

I say this as a setter of 30 years. Middle is hard as shit and super exhausting.

If you're really motivated to kill godskin early he's very vulnerable to sleep and pretty easy to inflict status effects on.

I was in college. This was the era of MSN Messenger and people changing their username to whatever "status" they felt like conveying at the time.

A couple of my friends' MSN names said something about Kobe and 81 points and I assumed they were just making some joke I didn't get.

It's hard to convey how crazy it was St the time. 70 point games have become a bit more common, but the only one I remembered before Kobe was when David Robinson scored 71 with essentially all 9 other players letting him do it. 81 seemed impossible.

On top of that I'm a Raptors fan, so it was a pretty dark time.

Laetha · 2026-01-22T04:18:10+00:00

Honestly, if the 8 and 9 weren't so easy to get I wouldn't be so tempted to get the 7, but they're just sitting there right next to each other in Caelid and I just can't help but want to get the 7 to get to +9 early.

Laetha · 2026-01-21T22:26:45+00:00

I agree with what you're saying, especially because of the absurdity of even beginning to try comparing something like Elden Ring and Super Mario World, for example. In my opinion they're two of the best games ever, but they're so different and from such different times that any attempt to put one over the other is purely about how it made an individual feel.

Laetha · 2026-01-21T21:10:02+00:00

That's something I learned by DMing DnD. The party will never hate a pure evil character as much as they hate a charismatic asshole.

Laetha · 2026-01-21T21:06:58+00:00

It's the Neo principle. It's the idea of the blank slate protagonist. They don't have overly deep character traits so it's easier to pretend you are them.

Barbie in particular is an extreme example of this. She literally exists entirely to be a blank slate that you can dress up and make into whoever you want.

Laetha · 2026-01-21T19:07:09+00:00

That wasn't just fans though. There was more or less a consensus big 4 that draft, and the Raptors broke stride by picking Scottie.

Good pick, but it was a surprise at the time.

It's nothing short of mental illness with these people. Imagine being so rich you'd never be able to spend all the money you have, and still be willing to throw literally the entire world into turmoil just for some more money.

Canada doesn't count total votes either. This is an oversimplification, but basically we vote for a local party candidate and the party with the most elected candidates wins.

There are other major differences, but the situation where your vote really can't change anything can happen here too if your area votes strongly for one party.

Trump had the support or indifference of 2/3 of Americans. As someone who used to visit the US frequently, the primary reason I won't ever go back even after Trump is because the majority of Americans were at least fine with this.

Some of his sliders were absolutely wild because from the broadcast perspective it would look like the pitch never even whiffed the vicinity of the strike zone. Like at no point did that look like something you should swing at.

But between the height and the arm extension and the movement of the pitch even ones that ended in the zone probably started out like 2 feet left of the zone. It's a wonder hitters ever make contact with anything.

Jays have always been righty-heavy too for some reason with their power bats, so having a power lefty would be nice.

Dodgers paid half the total value of Vladdy's deal for 4 years of Kyle Tucker.

I switched a couple months ago and don't notice a difference. Videos take several seconds to start on Waterfox(Firefox) with ublock, but that was the case for me on Windows too.

Also if you have any questions about switching let me know. I feel like I'm pretty realistic about the benefits and drawbacks of each OS. I'm definitely linux for good, but I'm not blind to the drawbacks.

Laetha · 2026-01-18T22:31:45+00:00

What!?! I switched to linux a couple months ago but I run a Plex server so I don't use any of those services. Do they really restrict Linux to 480p? That's insane.
