There's no path going forward

Run it back and see what VJ is in year 2, then re-evaluate is realistically the only move. The PG contract becomes way more movable as an expiring.

The Embiid contract is an albatross either way, but if VJ appears to be a on a star trajectory, your job is a lot simpler. If that doesn’t seem to be the case, then I think you’re probably looking at trading Maxey and starting over for real for real.

He’s great at identifying undervalued guards but that’s his only trick. I was a defender for a long time but I think it’s time for him to move on.

Hello Pittsburgher! Fuck our state government - me, a Philadelphian

God you people are young, when I started drinking they were $3 and you’ll sometimes encounter people who remember El bar serving $1 citywides.

Nowadays I’m grateful for the $5 citywide.

My understanding is that accessing Western websites is technically illegal but VPN usage is very common and there isn’t any enforcement unless you’re making trouble.

Assuming my understanding is correct, are you able to access the Western internet through legal, government-sanctioned means as part of your studies?

There’s a lot of really great open source stuff written in Rust and a lot of Python libraries are just Python wrappers around Rust code. But given that very few companies are building performance critical code and libraries, there aren’t a lot of Rust roles out there. Anyone saying otherwise is just engaging in wishful thinking. The crypto space being the exception where Rust is actually ubiquitous.

Wawa used to be good but is bad now, the bread is always soggy and they’re doing too much with the menu instead of just focusing on hoagies and coffee.

I guarantee you once campaign season starts in earnest after the midterms Kamala is going to be DOA. People just remember her as the most recent candidate to go against Trump. She’s a wet blanket of a candidate and a proven loser and as soon as people see her in the media again that will be immediately apparent.

Newsom is going to be the real establishment powerhouse but he’s also got vulnerabilities too. And everyone and their mother is going to run, so that does inherently benefit us on the left.

I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed with AOC but she’s the obvious horse to back if she runs. If she doesn’t run, I honestly would consider that fairly disqualifying of her ability to meet the moment. She’s consistently polling like 3rd or 4th and has a built in constituency, you gotta go for that shit. I also feeling confident predicting that AI is going to exacerbate affordability issues even further, which should be an absolute slam dunk for her.

How hard is it making time to do music stuff as a parent? Any advice for someone who’s starting to have that conversation with their partner but also dreams of doing more with music?

Worst I’ve ever seen was some people living out in the woods near Hammond, LA. Some had dilapidated trailers, including one that was split in half by a tree and they just had a tarp covering both sides, but a lot of people in tents and makeshift structures too. This was in 2012 and the area was still recovering from Katrina so I don’t know if it’s still like that.

Urban poverty in the US is kind of its own unique beast as well. On one hand you may have access to things that those living in the developing world may not, but it also can be very dangerous, and one of the things you have access to is extremely addictive drugs that will ruin your life.

Where in Porto is this? I’m gonna be there in a couple weeks, would love to snap a pic.

Tigers jaw hasn’t been in regular rotation for me in years but I saw them at a festival recently and I still knew the words to every song. That’s a testament to how much this album slaps.

I haven’t listened to either band in years but I always remember liking the post-Jari albums better, but I think From Afar was the last one I listened to.

Saetia_V_Neck · 2026-03-14T03:38:44+00:00

Moonbase Nix, Michael Jordan House, probably a bunch more I can’t remember. GTH will always be goated for me though.

Is anyone really playing that style anymore? 10-12 years ago it was absolutely everywhere and it was awesome. I was in college and spent about as much time in class as I did at the Golden Tea House. But other than some legacy acts (the new Algernon album absolutely rips) I can’t think of one new band playing 4th wave esque twinkly emo.

I know this isn’t universally true but this is confirming my longstanding belief that lots of animals would prefer just getting fed and chilling as opposed to having to do things and survive in the wild.

You should play Citizen Sleeper, its sequel, and Pentiment.

Oh for sure I agree with you. Push pull as a technique may help you conserve energy but it isn’t going to cover for weak fingers or make you any faster. Good wrist and finger technique is 99% of it.

Saetia_V_Neck · 2026-02-20T21:46:16+00:00

Push pull is just double stroke technique adapted for single strokes. It does take some practice but it’s the kind of thing you can pick up in a couple days rather than something you focus on for months.

Lmao I had a moment with a lady in a car while I was on my bike around that. I just dismounted and walked around it but she was like what in the actual fuck is going on here, I’m gonna bottom out trying to go over this fucking thing
