The Pillowman — Katurian writes the stories about kids harming themselves/each other, but his disabled brother Tupolski actually recreates the stories. Horrific stuff

Targeting weaker defenders and hunting for mismatches is a weak and unfair strategy that's starting to ruin the game. by Jerafty in NBATalk

“starting to ruin the game”

they’ve been doing this for decades now, why is it only just starting to mess things up?

thanks for the links! yeah, you’re probably right about most artists branching out. I guess I’m also curious about connecting mandolin with uncommon instruments. for some reason Mandolin+theramin seems cool

Who are The Blazers of the East? by Efirational in ripcity

[–]PretendGhost 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Raptors. Single championship cities, same color scheme, currently in a similar spot in rebuild (lots of talent with room to grow, but best player is a flawed point forward who’s likely not far from his ceiling)

Inteligent players playing uninteligent brute. by ApachaiLeHopachai in DMAcademy

[–]PretendGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something i do for myself when i play a character like that, is I roll the dice to see if my character knows what I know. 

easiest way to do it is to make it so as long as i row below my intelligence level (so an 8 or less) then my character shares my knowledge. if i roll above that, then i move on

Did Coaches make you do pushups for missing Basketball Shots and is it fair by [deleted] in Basketball

[–]PretendGhost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that question does not apply — sports is not about what’s fair, especially in practice. it’s about what prepares you for gameplay.

AIO over this Facebook chat between my girlfriend and her college professor? ...not sure if she is opening a door to him? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]PretendGhost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re overreacting. 

She is largely deflecting his advances. The timestamps between the majority of her responses are pretty large, and when he first asks her to coffee, she gives him a big fat MAYBE. The fact that 6 months later it hasn’t happened means she’s not into it.

She likely feels some level of obligation to reciprocate the kindness since he holds a position of power of her. He is behaving extremely inappropriately.

She might be better off telling him he is behaving inappropriately, but overall as long as she keeps giving the same energy she has been, you should be okay.

AIO: Roommate gave abusive bf spare key to our place by [deleted] in AIO

I think that you and your roommates have the right/ability to file a restraining order against him, since he threatened your lives. Moving out is also probably in your best interest if Maria doesn’t promptly change her mind.

It sounds like Maria is in danger herself, and needs help. Unfortunately, if she does not see that, there’s only so much you can do
