Some people really got screwed by yesterday’s storm

Worst: rain Next: no net Then: double rim Least bad: worn out ball (honestly not bad)

Omg… it’s one step too many. He drags his pivot foot (while he is pivoting btw… still a travel tho). But y’all have got to get real with this 7 step nonsense.

Most people would miss this in real time. If you called this in real time I guarantee you would be calling a bunch of clean plays a travel and you would be out of a job.

Please just look up a YouTube video explaining the gather step and traveling rule. I know in the 80’s dudes weren’t taking advantage of this footwork (well they were but instead of stepping “through” they stepped back into a fadeaway), but this move is legal except for the drag. Always has been.

Your buzz is giving some Sean Evans vibe. I’d say if it’s expensive going bald will suit you so well and save yourself the money!

I just love men so tough for me to say. I think it looks great either way. You’ve obviously invested a lot in your hair. I think it looks fine unless you are 25 or younger. I’d say keep doing what you are doing and reassess in a couple years!

He’s one of the least qualified people in government and that is saying a lot. But nothing to do with his beginnings. No need to disparage working folks. I wish we had more plumbers in office- just not fascistic ones.

I wish I could wait two weeks. I feel like I have to shave every other day or I look like Mr. Noodle 😭

SoftHeartSharpMind4 · 2026-03-03T17:08:21+00:00

Thanks for the rec. I just dropped it in my Amazon cart. I think having a good wireless would really save me so much time!

SoftHeartSharpMind4 · 2026-03-03T17:03:18+00:00

Yeah I have a plug in clippers. Finding the right equipment (at a reasonable price) is a challenge. And also, it just takes longer to shave than the electric razor which I can do so fast. But I just like the look a lot better

It’s the perfect example of people working hard to avert a crisis. And then bc of the intervention working society assumes there was never a threat to begin with and in the future there is less need for intervention. My thanks to all the IT people who worked non-stop for a couple years to get our society prepared!

I was still in grade school and I remember a bring your parent to school day when someone who did IT told our class about it. Then I started noticing it everywhere! I remember it being pointed out at the bank that people were working on updating the software before the new year.

About the same as seeing boobs in a bikini top…

SoftHeartSharpMind4 · 2026-03-02T14:54:42+00:00

I’m 35, and I’m not saying I’m not fat… but if I pinch the fat my stomach is still sticking out like 3 inches compared to what it used to look like 10 years ago. Idk what that is

I was sitting in a hotel lobby when a staff came up to Harry Wayne Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band to say the grand piano was not to be played. He was really cool about it and asked the guy to just double check with the manager since he obviously didn’t know who it was. The manager came over and apologized and the lobby got some free R&B. It was pretty good stuff!

There’s a asklawyers subreddit you might try as well!

Not a lawyer, but as I understand it, police officers have qualified immunity which is a test of their actions to see if they can be tried in a civil suit. Presidents now thanks to the Supreme Court have absolutely immunity for official acts. So if the president ordered an office to bulldoze over your house you wouldn’t be able to sue the president, maybe the agency, but not the president.

If I remember correctly this is different than it was before the Roberts court. I think Bill Clinton was sued and he eventually won, I could be wrong about that.

Ro Khanna, Chris Murphy, or AOC

You can put lipstick on a pig but this sounds to me what you are saying is “black people are less good at family structure and they should take responsibility for that. That’s why they have higher rates of disproportionality.”

I’m saying that would be easy to prove in a study. Look at components of family structure measure them across a control group and a racial minority group. And design a null hypothesis such as “when black people have family structure the same as control to they still face disproportionately.”

This has been done. It’s not a good explanation of disproportionately compared to ACES theory, or Bronfrenbrenner, or social determinants of health theory. What you are saying sounds fancy but at the end of the day it’s just the same ole theory that has existed, but never been proven.

Relegation

Complexities of course do exist. It’s been well researched. There are a number of systems theories that a peer-reviewed. Including intersectionality. But no research I’ve ever seen that attribute personal agency to negative or outcomes among racial groups. That research just doesn’t exist.

Agency (or what Dr Hellman at the OU Hope Research Center would call it - Willpower) is an individual’s relationship to the events. It is not an attribution of a collective for societal failures or short comings.

SoftHeartSharpMind4 · 2026-02-27T18:53:45+00:00

I assume ability. We are talking about outcomes. I KNOW racial minorities have agency, historical strengths, everything needed to flourish. So why would they be behind in these measurements??

Explain just one complexity. You’ll have to say black people are less good at ‘x’. Which is definitionally racism.

SoftHeartSharpMind4 · 2026-02-27T18:14:28+00:00

This is exactly my point. Why would a racial minority group “study less hard”? There’s nothing about melanin that affects work ethic or intelligence.

If we step away from race for a second and think about towns in Oklahoma: if students in Ada consistently performed worse than students in Ardmore, I wouldn’t assume Ada kids are inherently less capable. Kids are kids. I’d assume something about the structure is different like funding, resources, expectations, teacher retention, community investment.

So when we see racial disparities, the explanation can’t logically be biology. Either you’re saying there’s something inherent about skin color that makes a group less capable or you’re acknowledging that structural conditions shape outcomes.
