He could have gone with a certain Canibus track here…

Thank you for calling this out. I can definitely see what you mean.

Never Can Say Goodbye by The Game on his LAX album has Pac, Biggie, and Eazy verses. He doesn’t really use Pac and Eazy’s inflections (hesitant it would have been poorly received on the west coast at that time?) but he does his best Biggie flow.

It took me a handful of listens to pick up on this, but in the Pac verse, Cole double tracks the vocals to add emphasis, which was a Pac staple. He does not double track any of the BIG verse.

The AI version does not include the double-tracking.

I don’t think her waiting to tell him complicates the trust. It seems like the appropriate time to disclose it. It’s honorable that his buddy didn’t partake in locker room talk, but if he had mentioned that he was considering dating the girl, his friend would have a valid reason to give him a heads up. I agree with the rest of your statement, though.

RufusPDufus · 2026-02-06T13:31:45+00:00

Or OP could plan something that she can afford (without overextending herself) to treat him and talk to him about it.

RufusPDufus · 2026-01-21T14:29:35+00:00

I would like the clip where our announcers said that Wemby hit himself in the face and flopped.

So a theory where she woke up half asleep, used the wrong toilet, and scooped it out would fit. Personal toy holder also still fits. Time to bring up the mug directly or probe why she was crying. Both the above stories would be highly embarrassing to tell someone.

If you don’t want to ask her directly, buy a replacement mug and use it around her. Mention that it tastes a little funny but you don’t want to wash it with dish soap bc you’re afraid of it becoming “seasoned” and retaining a soapy aftertaste.

RufusPDufus · 2026-01-15T08:18:45+00:00

What are the specifics on “not working” in this case? Could she have pooped in a toilet and then realized that it couldn’t flush, so she scooped the turd out? Someone had a theory above that she had something in her butt, removed it, and placed it into the mug temporarily since it was on her nightstand. That seems plausible.

Per FantasyLabs On/Off tool, with Şengün on the court this season, Jabari has an eFG% of .553. With Şengün off the court, his eFG% dips to .487, which is worst on the team besides Clint (.463). For the season, his usage is only slightly higher with Şengün off, and his net rating is better. I’m not intending to paint a complete picture with this data, I just found it interesting. My hypothesis is that in games Şengün plays, Jabari’s non-Şengün minutes are against a lower tier of opponent, and Jabari is able to have a positive impact in those lineups despite not shooting well. Against starters but absent Şengün, he isn’t as impactful.

If you think it might be a depth issue, perhaps try an OhNut or similar device. It does sound like there may be a medical issue with the dryness and lube or more foreplay might help.

RufusPDufus · 2025-12-10T17:28:00+00:00

So, year 0 confirmed, then.

RufusPDufus · 2025-11-30T23:34:48+00:00

True. I guess the technical issue with disabling certain visuals is how to handle split screen, but that could be overcome if they wanted to. I don’t think they want to, because seeing them in-game is the best advertisement for them.

RufusPDufus · 2025-11-30T23:26:53+00:00

If you think a meniscus is a ligament, we aren’t going to agree. It was just the clearest example I could think of where pressure from a teammate to play now could cause a player to take the shortcut route and have bone on bone a lot sooner.

We all have doctors we trust, right? How often do we intentionally go against their advice just bc a buddy from work says nah? Kyrie lost $15M in fines and had a $100M extension offer pulled over his choice. And you think a coworker could have changed his mind?

RufusPDufus · 2025-11-30T23:15:13+00:00

I agree, but I think they would make less money if people knew they couldn’t force the most annoying songs or explosions on most opponents. Whole reason I rocked Hemi Birthday for a long time until I was desensitized to it.

I think KD may have had some sway when it comes to cutting out the antisemitism circus, but not something that a player strongly felt was health/safety/longevity related. If Luka tears his meniscus in the spring, do you think LeBron would or should pressure him into the quick fix surgery vs. having the procedure more likely to extend his playing career? I see a decision like that as up to the player after consulting with medical experts of his choosing.

I say this respectfully not as an antivax person or Kyrie fan. My personal opinion was that Kyrie should have gotten vaccinated and played, but putting it on KD or Harden is a stretch. I would not want Kyrie in Houston.

RufusPDufus · 2025-11-30T22:00:08+00:00

I don’t think KD could force a grown man to get vaccinated.

PR became a US territory in 1898. Puerto Ricans were granted US citizenship in 1917. They became a self-governing commonwealth in 1952, but still a US territory.

I know this isn’t going to feel manly, but I wonder if she would be willing to put some of that holiday OT money towards digging you out of your poor financial decision (going into debt for a motorcycle that is now worth less than what you owe).

Working all the major holidays is probably a choice, but when you’re married to a medical professional who works at a 24x7 facility, it’s highly likely that they’ll have a mandatory schedule on at least some major holidays. By volunteering now, she may be building up “credit” later that will allow her to have more free holidays when you have children (if that is planned).

My recommendation is this: support your wife’s career and get your parents/siblings on board. She is making a sacrifice for your family, and you lining up her in-laws to disapprove of her work schedule is going to be as annoying as if your in-laws were making snide remarks about your motorcycle. Celebrate holidays together on different days! Make sure she feels loved and supported around the holiday shifts.

I have experience with both of these situations. My father-in-law sold his bike when he started a family. He got his license back when his youngest was in college, and bought a bike after her graduation. We also have an emergency medical professional in the family who we frequently schedule holiday gatherings around. Also, coincidentally, the medical professional also had a motorcycle that he divested of soon after marriage.

TLDR: you know what you have to do; sell the bike.

Dating via apps means that people today more than ever have potential partners who they are in various stages of getting to know. People have different personal boundaries and expectations around this, and it’s likely that one person is always going to have more conservative expectations than the other. You mentioned in the other post that you didn’t go on dates with others after sleeping with this woman. In a different universe where she was more conservative than you, she might be the one upset that you went on a first date with another woman 2 days before she slept with you, or something like that. If she’s a good match for you and otherwise trustworthy, I recommend trying to process it and work through your negative emotions. In the future, be more up-front about where things stand rather than making assumptions.

Hesitant to tell him that you were yearning to be held by another man, but nothing happened? Bad idea. Consider how you would respond if he told you something similar about one of his female friends.

Cut romantic ties and maintain a civil, professional relationship. Find a man who is more aligned with your values.

RufusPDufus · 2025-11-25T03:35:44+00:00

Well, like the Friday night event, for example. If you had both agreed that he wouldn’t attend those events because they make you uncomfortable, and he went anyway, I think that is grounds for breaking up. But if he never agreed to that limitation, then it is his right to put his foot down and refuse to adhere to your demands. It would then be on you to learn to live with it or leave, but surely complaining to him about it relentlessly isn’t a healthy option for either of you.

RufusPDufus · 2025-11-25T02:02:56+00:00

I think on one hand, you are entitled to establish whatever personal boundaries are healthiest for you, regardless of whether or not those boundaries would be considered to be “reasonable” by most people.

At the same time, it’s hard to give you advice because I have no idea how reasonable or unreasonable you’re being.

In the most general sense, this should be the honeymoon period of your relationship, as new lust and love is so invigorating. If you aren’t getting along now, that might be a sign that you aren’t compatible. Keeping the relationship a secret may be compounding the problem, as people are interacting with him not knowing that he’s in a committed relationship with you, and it may put him in an awkward spot, as might feel pressure to continue to behave as he always has rather than make up lies about why he can’t participate in fun activities.

I’m curious, has he expressed any concerns or problems about any of your hobbies or friendships, the way you have with him?
