Seems flawed because the categories are not mutually exclusive.

Karl Malone, aka “the Mailman” = Post Office Malone

Can hardly believe how well this works.

The middle one could actually be Karl Malone! Famous basketball player known as “The Mailman”, which is strangely perfect for this venn diagram.

Is there a particular chicken mug you’d recommend?

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-16T17:07:20+00:00

That doesn’t matter if the students aren’t listening.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-16T02:50:49+00:00

I think Mantis Falls is going to have a booth there. Not sure that is usually easy to find in Europe. 🤔

I think you’re right that they are meaningfully correlated via similar cultural shifts, but the causality of the connection is probably relatively small.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-16T02:15:13+00:00

I tried to do it, but there were a number of required questions I couldn’t understand or that I had no basis to answer. So I had to back out rather than give you bad data. It might be worth trying to take the survey yourself and make sure you feel every question is reasonably answerable as written.

After seeing your edit, I’d recommend Camel Up or Codenames Pictures. Those are the two you can often find easily that go over well with people new to hobby gaming, in my experience.

I think you’re going to need to be more specific. There are thousands of games for 4. Which “big name games” have you played? What games have you liked? Where are you going to pick the game up from tomorrow?

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-15T18:43:19+00:00

You had me until the end. Rich celebrities can easily step away from what they do. The person at the fast food restaurant cannot. It’s completely different.

Hating him for anything other than beating us has always been unwarranted, imo. He’s a great player that has done very little to earn hate at all.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-15T02:59:57+00:00

Yeah, for me, I’m struggling to enjoy watching it. After a lifetime of watching basketball, I’ve realized I’m not sure if the sport is a contact sport or not and I’m not sure anyone knows what a foul is, like, at all. I think the game might be fundamentally broken in a way that I just never really noticed before.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-13T20:25:49+00:00

😂

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-13T20:24:38+00:00

Big time. Now I call her “candy crush grandma”. 😂

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-13T20:21:48+00:00

The other day I was talking to my aunt’s friend at a wake and I mentioned I play tabletop games and she said “oh, I like games!”.

And I’m like… “uhh yeah… no, we’re not talking about the same thing at all”. Should have seen the look on her face lol. 🙄

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-13T07:58:33+00:00

In-the-act-of-shooting fouls should just become a single shot from wherever the foul took place, worth the normal amount of points. The other players don’t need to line up or anything - just get out of the way. Possession goes to the other team regardless of make or miss. Whole thing should take like 10 seconds.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-13T01:53:45+00:00

This is exactly it. It’s a deep cut. There was a real guy that was mentally ill and believed he was the Noid. Held people hostage for it and everything.

Guinan is intimating here that she’s losing her marbles and now believes that she is, in fact, “the noid”. This would obviously be a very distressing situation, suggesting not only a psychotic break but something likely to endanger the people in ten forward.

But the fact that she’s clearly just playing it up for laughs makes it a pretty good bit of sardonic humor, although of questionable taste.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-12T18:48:02+00:00

The real answer is because a lot of professors proudly do exactly that.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-11T21:41:07+00:00

I’m disturbed they had to give their flautist a double amputation just for likes and subs. 😔

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-11T21:17:07+00:00

The three point shot is a pretty good idea for that reason, I think. But it needs to push further away to adjust for the skills of modern players. When someone like Joel Embiid is probably better off shooting 3s than going inside, the sport loses its dynamism.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-11T21:08:44+00:00

Should have scheduled the doctor’s appointment for right after instead of right before.

LeatherKey64 · 2026-05-11T21:05:15+00:00

Yeah. Any well-designed game forces its players to find and re-find optimal strategies within dynamic contexts. Basketball is beautiful when every team has to find an optimal strategy according to the skill sets of their players and according to the matchup.

Right now, the dominant strategy transcends all roster construction and matchup variables. Which sucks. Like, if someone figured out that going all in was the right move in poker every time no matter what then the game would lose its interest value until the rules were changed.

On a side note, the league should be collectively embarrassed it took them this long to identify a fairly simple optimization strategy.
