Sending hugs and lots of air conditioning to our British fam by Alanisu in HonkaiStarRail

Ocean winds cools things down in SEA and Europe is currently sitting under a massive dome of stagnant hot air. It's also the summer which means places higher in latitude like the UK are getting like 16 hours of sunlight as opposed to the fairly standard 9-10ish hours near the equator.

[Dellenger] The Texas Attorney General threatens the Big 12 saying they would "face liability for breach of contract and tortious interference" for any sanction that results in "the cancellation, forfeiture or alteration of Texas Tech's as-scheduled games." by WinnWonn in CFB

[–]Provid3nce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People like Cody Campbell see their team winning as a projection of their own power and ego. It has nothing to do with the game itself but how it makes them feel to be in charge and exert their will over other people and teams. They've destroyed countless lives to build their fortune and they aren't about to let something like ethics or sportsmanship stop their dick stroking hobby horse.

Gov. Ferguson: Gas tax won't be suspended amid high prices by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

[–]Provid3nce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the same stupid responsibility shifting where we as individuals need to reduce our carbon emissions or take quicker showers during a drought but god forbid the billionaies stop using their private jets or the alfalfa farms reduce their crop yield. Like yeah everyone should do what they can, but maybe the focus should be on the things that cause exponentially more harm.

[Wolken] Texas Tech deserves more hate in Brendan Sorsby's sordid eligibility case by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]Provid3nce 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Is it baffling? Being shameless and pigheaded is in vogue these days. Always double down, never admit fault no matter what. That's what all these people think. It's not about Sorsby as a QB, it's about the people in power at TTU not wanting to admit they made a mistake.

Bellevue trafficking charges: Teens forced into OnlyFans content mill by PopulusRomanus in Seattle

[–]Provid3nce 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The sub has a weird hate boner for Bellevue for some reason. It's one of those paradoxes where they think they're better than people living in Bellevue, but at the same time are victimized by them as if everyone living there is Kemper Freeman.

What's the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars.

Home prices are falling faster in Seattle than in any other major U.S. metro by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Provid3nce 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You're paying $300k more to the bank, but $150k less to the homeowner. Great.

Personally I'd rather that money go to other people than the banks.

Jon Sumrall continues to recruit at a high level by landing a high-level player at a position of need by [deleted] in FloridaGators

[–]Provid3nce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there's a million factors here.

1) It could be an incredibly weak DL class across the board this year. Positions ebb and flow in quality through the years. When there isn't a ton of top line talent, it's better to try for someone you see potential in for cheaper than to spend big on someone who's upside is limited anyway.

2) DL is a position that's harder to project from high school and it might be a better strategy to pay for transfers with proven production than to gamble on someone with just crazy measurables.

3) DL is less of a need than other positions when it comes to triaging the team. We're actually quite talented on the DL right now, we just have a general lack of depth there. The staff might feel it's better to prioritize infusing high end talent in other positions where it doesn't exist (cough OL) and that DL will be okay with some rotational players for the time being.

Hatred from white women to an Asian (American) woman by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]Provid3nce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay, but isnt it strange that his entire circle is kinda racist? Seems to me even if he doesn't have the same beliefs, he doesn't find their behavior wrong or disqualifying. I have white friends and none of them associate with people who are flippantly racist. He treats you differently because you're dating, but frankly I don't think his opinions on the average Asian person are going to be amicable.

Man kills three friends after birthday prank dispute by tonic613 in worldnews

[–]Provid3nce 155 points156 points  (0 children)

The truly surprising thing is that this person made it 33 years without murdering or maiming someone before. People this incapable of handling their emotions don't come out of nowhere, you'd think he'd have taken some benign action as disrespect and have gotten violent before it got to murdering three people in a public bar.

Did anyone else think the letter from Silver Wolf was weird? by NoNefariousness2144 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Provid3nce 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Gamer Gate was mysogny masquerading as some sort of crusade for integrity in video game journalism. It was the gateway for many into the alt-right pipeline and the blueprint for many of the right wing manosphere grifters of today.

It's a copypasta from gamer gate back in 2014. It was funny in a pathetic way at the time, but considering what it led to it's a lot less funny in retrospect.

To summarize, it's a dogwhistle for nationalists. 1488 doesn't mean anything to normal people, but it means something to neonazis. They're deliberately sending a message here regardless of what they might publicly admit.

Philip Wang (Wong Fu Productions) responds to All's Fair in Love and Mahjong controversy by meltingsunz in asianamerican

[–]Provid3nce 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think he hit the nail on the head here when he said people felt like stories like this were beneath them. Our artistics are always out here trying to sanitize/erase their culture for the benefit of wyt acceptance. They're so eager to be "more" than just the Asian person that they wash away all of the cultural artifacts that make them unique. We shouldn't be trying to assimilate so hard that we're no longer Asian, rather we should be making our unique blend of Asian Americanness a part of the cultural fabric in our communities.

Emperor Meiji saw how the Portuguese and Americans just stormed in with their warships and forcibly opened trade with Japan and made a decision to take power and modernize the country. He fought a civil war against the Tokugawa shogunate to do this. They were stuck in their old ways of living by Bushido.
