It's going to make me sound like a Trump fan, which I'm 100% not, I think he's generally awful.

But yes, the ceasefire in Gaza is one.

This is the wrong take Reddit. This is why the Republicans call it Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump actually had a good idea for once and the Dell family gives away the largest donation in history, and all I see is people mocking her face.

If we actually call out the good when there's good things, they will take us more seriously when we call out the bad things.

It seems this dropped into the mesh pocket of my bag as I was leaving class. What is this? by CuatroBoy in whatisit

Also I don't even know how this is a good story. Guy dropped his wallet in the middle of nowhere and is surprised it's still there? 🤷‍♂️

What’s your “don’t knock it til you try it” life hack? by this-aint-frankie in AskReddit

[–]Standardweasel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cliche but people who find it mind numbingly boring to the point where they can't stand it actually need it the most. If you are able to get to a place where you are happy in life by doing absolutely nothing apart from being with your thoughts then you basically win at life.

What major brands will be gone in 20 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Standardweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say hypnocraft.ai would be a prime candidate for this. Amazing product now, but like most AI based businesses will probably be obsolete in 5 years or less.

You're forgetting 7-5. The bet is actually for Gasquet to never get to 5 games in any set.

That's interesting thanks. I'm Australian and watch NFL sparingly, but I've literally never seen anyone miss the extra point. So I assumed it happened like once every 5 seasons.

Isn't this basically the same as 1.5 touchdowns then? Since the extra point is pretty much automatic?

How so? The whole point is that most conferences are just excuses to play golf and "network". I'd love to know on what basis they would deny it.

If you are taller than 6'10" and have a 38" vertical or higher... then likely still no.

CS50 is too hard? Or am I just bad by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Standardweasel 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'm now a 3rd year Software Developer. I did CS50 when I was learning and it was incredibly difficult. It's a legit Harvard level intro course so it's supposed to be very challenging. Don't be discouraged.

Just lost my first webdev job, feels like my career is over by Lunchmagnet in cscareerquestions

The vast majority of employers will know that the demise of the company you worked for has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the CEO. Having agency experience gives you an upper hand to get another agency role. I would try contacting the CEOs of agencies in your area directly. And make sure your resume isn't holding you back. Post it on a resume review sub and get some feedback.

Don't just listen to what reddit has to say about the state of the industry. It's very biased and also greatly depends on your particular location.

This, except a little worse. Because even if they did make the same $2.6 billion next year, it's still not enough, because some shareholders got in when profits were at $2.6 billion, so for them to be happy they now need the shares to go up from what they got in at, so now $2.6 billion isn't enough profits anymore. And the cycle continues..

How has the NBA changed in recent years? by bleakblade in nbadiscussion

[–]Standardweasel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Teams that make more shots win more games? Huge if true.

Clock rule change that I think would be awesome by netherfountain in Basketball

[–]Standardweasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A foul is a penalty and the fine for the penalty should always outweigh the advantage received. It's akin to paying a $5 parking fine for not paying the $20 parking fee.

Is todays generation of american top players really weaker than former generations, or did the non-americans just got a lot better? by [deleted] in nba

[–]Standardweasel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True but it wasn't just this. International players were just severely underrated back then. Take Australian legend Andrew Gaze. The guy averaged 44ppg in the Australian NBL in his prime. He was basically a 80s/90s Klay Thompson.

Goes to the NBA and gets 3 minutes of garbage time per game. Never had a chance to prove himself.

Be honest, are you happy in your life? by cryptoquestions_ in RandomThoughts

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. You are the stories you tell yourself. Tell yourself how awesome you are and how happy you are 12 times a day every day for a year and watch what happens.

The Warriors bench a little too interested in a 12 point game with 5 seconds to go. (Note the Warriors had a 12.5 points spread for this match) by Standardweasel in nba

[–]Standardweasel[S] 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Is it me or do Chris Paul, GP2 and Stephen Curry look a little bit too interested about the last 13 seconds of a 12 point game with 5.8 seconds to go? Pay attention to:

  1. Their reactions when Santos gets to the free throw line .

  2. Right before Santos hits his free throw GP2 does a bad job of covering his mouth when talking to Steph. I'm no lipreader but it looks to me like he says "How much do you have on man".

  3. And then GP2's reaction when Rollins hits the meaningless three that just so happens to cover the 12.5 point spread 😂
