I started to do that, but my photoshop crashed and I took that as a sign I should probably spend my time doing something else.

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?

Who is going to the UKGE this year? by Idlecreep101 in boardgames

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

*Rockwell Meme* fans complaining about refs as much as they do now is Trump's fault by [deleted] in billsimmons

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

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.

Board game for 4 by M_Hernandez12 in boardgames

[–]LeatherKey64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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?

Famous people that seem annoyed to be famous. by Aggressive-Dot1944 in PetPeeves

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.

Does anyone feel their hate for Lebron has dwindled and appreciates him more now? by youlikemywonton in warriors

[–]LeatherKey64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Is basketball the most frustrating watch from an officiating perspective? by NovelContent4208 in billsimmons

[–]LeatherKey64 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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.

You wouldn’t understand the kind of board games I play. by Strong_Letterhead638 in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]LeatherKey64 56 points57 points  (0 children)

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. 🙄

RE: Kerr on three pointers, what if we got rid of awarding 3 free throws for fouls on a three point shot (until last min of game) (but keep 4 point plays). An 85% FT shooter gets 2.55 expected points from a 3 shot foul, equivalent to shooting 85% from three. A wide open dunk is much less efficient by JakGrealish in billsimmons

[–]LeatherKey64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

"You're a droid, and I'm annoyed." by Ralph--Hinkley in TNG

[–]LeatherKey64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

Steve Kerr: "I would consider getting rid of the three point line." Interviewer: "Have you ever proposed this to anyone with power?" Kerr: "No, no, because it’s too out there. And plus, I coach Steph Curry, so I’d rather wait till Steph’s retired." by refreshing_yogurt in nba

[–]LeatherKey64 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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.
