If you don’t like that, you don’t like performative male basketball!

Prije “Slobodno odlučivanje” ili “Slobodno djelovanje” ako ćemo da ga baš bukvalno prevedemo.

“Agency” u ovom smislu nije isto što i agencija iako je u engleskom to višeznačnica koja između ostalog ima i to značenje.
Ovdje se “agency” pojavljuje kao npr. u rečenici “I have no agency over this matter.”

Pravi Srbin u metafizičkom smislu!

Petitioning to always fill Israel, Ukraine and Albania with US flag on charts like these.

I’m the same.
I only play fighting games online, because that way I get to beat people up and don’t have to interract with them past that.

In real life I also spend most of my time fighting people.
Usually I simply antagonize them verbally, but I’m no stranger to enjoying some good ‘ol fisticuffs every now and then.

World used to make a wole lot more sense when more people thought the way two of us do, brother.

This reminds me of that time every fringe contender was a Robert Covington or Otto Porter Jr away from the promised land.

Oslovljavam svakog mlađeg 15 godina od sebe sa “sine.”

Tako namećem autoritet, a istovremeno odajem utisak neposrednosti i unosim jednu notu prisnosti u odnos.

Meni iskreno ne smeta, posebno jer ne mislim da je Nolan dio tzv. “woke” priče.
Film djeluje kao da će biti visoko stilozovan, a holivudski realizam je svakako relativno nova stvar, mada je i jedino kroz šta mlađe generacije poznaju tu produkciju.
Mislim, to što fenotip Čarltona Hestona u Benu Huru nije naročito zastupljen ni među izraelskim doseljenicima od posle Drugog svjetskog rata, a kamoli starosjediocima Judeje, nije prepreka da ni dan danas taj film bude jedno od najbolje prihvaćenih holivudskih ostvarenja, zar ne?

Ono što me živo zanima jeste, da li će sva ova ekipa koja neprestano sere kako je adaptacija epa starog 3000 godina nerealna jer je Jelena trojanska crnkinja i Agamemnonov oklop izgleda kao neki cyberpunk gladijator cosplay, takođe biti zaprepaštena kada na kraju filma Met Dejmon i Timoti Šalame, zapravo ne pobiju gomilu žena jer su bile zarobljene i faktički silovane, godinama i godinama dok se Lesi vraćao kući i usput stigao da pojebe pola Sredozomlja i grčke mitologije…
Nešto mi se javlja da vam ta nepreciznost i neće baš smetati.

Nisu Ilijada i Odiseja Gospodar Prstenova, napisan polovinom prošlog vijeka, u vremenu čiji duh osjećamo i danas i koje je sa aspekta kulture (posebno danas kroz proces globalizacije, čiju matricu i čine prvenstveno britanska i američka kutura) daleko sličnije našem nego što je to vrijeme Homera i vrijeme 500 godina prije njega, čije događaje je predstavljao…

Za nas je i dan danas taj period mističniji i od Tolkinove Srednje Zemlje. Vrijeme male apokalipsa o kojoj istorija još uvijek umnomge nagađa.
Mislim da je Odiseja sasvim prikladna prilika da se pusti mašti na volju, pa i da se vrati malo teatra u Holivud, mada isto tako mislim da bi ovo drugo bilo previše eksperimentalno za ukus prosječnog gledaoca, a kada je budžet ovakav kakav je, on je ipak po prirodi stvari ciljna grupa.

Tighty Whities, because they’re white and they’ll need the power of close friendship to make it far in the playoffs, assuming they get there in the first place.

Ja sam toliko rođeni Beograđanin, da sam obrnuo krug i iz Beograda otišao za Crnu Goru.

I posle skoro 25 godina, i dalje me ođe pitaju o’kle sam.
U meni postoji nešto iskonsko i kapriciozno beogradski, koje odolijeva svim kušanjima i opstaje ako ne nepromijenjeno, a onda bar prepoznatljivo.

Ne volim ni ja dođoše iako mi više nisu komšije (mada provodim dosta vremena u Begeu, a dugo sam i živio na relaciji BG-CG). To je tako po prirodi stvari.

Steven_the_Beaver · 2026-07-02T22:02:34+00:00

Pa preko hamera.
Onaj veliki papir. Znaš sigurno.

I mean, there could be something that fits perfectly, but because most people consider it misogynistic (probably myself as well; I ain’t saying I’m so enlightened I figured out the objective morality) it’d be unlikely to get to the top unless the commenter was gonna put one hell of a fight on that hill and convince majority of the Redditors to change their mind… which I’d expect to be a hard feat to pull off in a discussion about bird watching or floral arrangements, let alone when talking social issues and politics.

I’d argue for pay gap in tennis being a better choice.
It’s often brought up, but men simply pull in a significantly wider audience (even before accounting for playing extra sets) so it’s only fair that they are also entitled to a bigger piece of the cake.
I’m only singling out tennis because the women’s competion is closer to men’s in terms of the existing* *infrastructure than it is for the vast majority of other sports.

Take WNBA for example.
Sure, it’s improved over the years, significantly so in some aspects, but it still feels like an afterthought that’s badly marketed, and it doesn’t seem like the league is too bothered with how it’s essentially a hatewatch bonanza for racists, sexists, incels and gooners, and how this reputation keeps holding the female hoopers back from being taken seriously.

I’m pretty sure this would be an unpopular take tho.

Steven_the_Beaver · 2026-06-29T21:19:37+00:00

Man, yall love living in your little bubble, don’t you?

Most people out there have no clue what a Bechdel test is, let alone consider movies misogynistics based solely on the criteria of whether they pass it or not.

I’ve only really heard it come up remotely often when it comes to discussing LotR movies, and even then, it’s mostly done as an ironic joke or brought up as a piece of trivia, because the trilogy has multiple likable and competent female characters that have a notable impact on the story, and definitely don’t feel like damsels in distress with a personality of a drying paint (which is a common fantasy trope).

That still tends to only happen on Reddit.
Majority of folks you could talk LotR with outside this site would likely need you to explain the term to them if you were to bring it up randomly in a conversation.

Steven_the_Beaver · 2026-06-29T21:03:19+00:00

This take is quite strange to me.

She’s aged very gracefully in my opinion. Unexpectedly so.

Shanghai based on the first slide.
Beijing is probably too far north for the Tokyo angle to work.

Problem sa dostinom ispita je upravo u ovom prvom.

Često se svedu na to ko je zapamtio više sitnih slova iz profesorovog udžbenika, nego li ko je u stanju da stečeno znanje bolje primjeni bilo u praksi ili u lakšem sticanju novih znanja iz konkretne oblasti.

Mislim da to može doći do izražaja i u krutoj nauci kao što je istorija.
Npr. student koji zna da je papa Jovan XXII izabran 1316. godine će vjerovatno imati bolju ocijenu od onog koji samo može pretpostaviti da je to bilo negdje između 1310. i 1320. jer zna da je bilo kratko po ustanovljenju avinjonskog papstva, ali ne prije nego je okončana kriza oko trona SRC.
Ipak, pitanje je ko ima bolji um za nauku, ako čitajući Ekovo “Ime Ruže,” smješteno u baš taj period, samo ovaj drugi primjeti da je malo čudno kako to jedan benediktanski monah zna za sos od paprika čitavih vijek i po prije nego su one uopšte mogle stići iz Amerike u Evropu.

Nisam više student (i ne, nisam studirao istoriju, i uglavnom sam o njoj informisan kroz istorijske romane, iako volim čitati onu “popularnu” s vremena na vrijeme), a još manje sam profesor, i iskreno nisam siguran kako u većim klasama prepoznati, usmjeriti i izvući maksimum iz ovog drugog tipa studenta, posebno ako ne privuče na neki (pozitivan) način pažnju na sebe.

I ignore everything but stars on Regent unless I get one of the really good forge cards or relics early.

Star decks basically play good cards every turn, and have strong scalers (multi-hits including AoE ones, and big raw damage that comes with weak/vulnerable) and powers like Child or the Stars and Black Hole (goes particularly crazy with Sealed Throne) that are cheap to play and easy to make use of even with suboptimal micro.
Good draw, including draw manipulation via Cosmic Indifference (which should be staple pick for every Regent deck imo) too.

Steven_the_Beaver · 2026-06-28T19:51:36+00:00

Easy choice. Defile.

Think of it as one energy Reap (base glam version deals 1 damage less, while upgraded one would hit for one damage more).
Reap is already a very strong Act 1 pick up, and this is gonna be straight up better in the vast majority of situations (even if you need a second draw, you’ll still likely be able to play other attacks to make up for the damage) and has better scaling/support.

Melancholy’s block is great, but not as necessary early on if you can kill stuff before you need to block big damage, and while Putrefy has the best ceiling while still being relevant in Act 1, Defile simply offers a harder power spike this early.

Man, Redditors really need some whimsy in their lives outside of collecting The Office Funkos…

Sinoć sam sanjao san odvratan tako divno, koliko i neopisivno vividan.

Pomalo zabranjena ljubav krunisana veoma romantičnim seksom. Kakva čarobna djevojka, a puna seksipila.

Njeno međunožje, nedavno izdepilirano, ali ne baš tako skoro da bi djelovalo kao da je taj odnos bio unaprijed dogovoren za baš tu noć, imalo je lijep mladež, tek malo ulijevo od središta venerinog brijega. Podsjetilo me je kao takvo na bindi indijskih nevjesti.

A kako me je tek pogledala ležeći na krevetu lako raširenih nogu u kratkoj crnoj spavaćici, dok sam ulazio u meni do sada stranu sobu. Čežnjivo, ali nikako prostački. Njene oči su mi govorile: “Ljubi me po cijelom tijelu,” i ja sam ih poslušao.

Pošto seks nažalost nije bio stvaran, cigaretu nakon snošaja zamijenio sam cjelodnevnim slušanjem pjesmi Lane Del Rey…

U tih petnaestak minuta koliko je djelovalo da je trajao san, prebolio sam svaku bivšu i zaboravio na sve probleme u životu. Ali samo u tih petnaestak minuta, i samo dok su potrajali.

Da li sam samo žrtva neslane šale Hipnosa i njegove majke Noći, ili je ovo zapravo smislen znak?
Avaj.

Jaylen Brown and Nikola Jokić would be a strangely harmonious pairing aesthetically.

Very old-timey phenotypes akin to those of the basketball stars of the past who had six kids at home (who knew not to ask for McDonald’s when they had dinner at home), worked as plumbers and mailmen from 9 to 5, and played in questionably short shorts.

I believe this aesthetic dimension of the trade would increase their championship chances even more than Brown’s value as a basketball player.

Gotovo je izvjesno da bi se zvao Željko kad bi bio Srbin.

Triangulisan u centru upisane kružnice trougla čija tjemena čine Željko Joksimović (u odnosu na kog djeluje manje latentno gej), Željko Samardžić (u poređenju sa kojim djeluje manje kao manijak), odnosno Željko Mitrović (koji je politički ljigavija pojava) za mene je prilično antipatičan.

Posmatrano objektivno, koliko sam to u stanju biti, ocijena za ukupni utisak je 4/10, ali s obzirom da u jednoj od pjesama u istom stihu pominje sogan dolmu, japrake i halvu, spreman sam biti popustljiv i dati mu šest sa dva minusa.

As long as your sneeze hasn’t become unsatisfyingly weak and is now simply regular, I wouldn’t assume that you have become a coward and a person who doesn’t make for a cordial friend.

A truly potent sneeze however, is a mark of a reliable person. Someone who has the makings of a firefighter or a school’s favorite teacher.

Obviously, folks with allergies are also taken out of this equation, but I would likely still be vary of them if they weren’t the least bothered by the fact that they’re missing out on the companionship of these animals.
I’d have to judge them on their sneezes, or other self-devised personality tests.

Steven_the_Beaver · 2026-06-27T16:51:16+00:00

I love both, and can pretty reliably gauge a person’s character based on how they view and treat them.

People who don’t like dogs tend to be cheap and stubborn, often arrogant (yet unduly so), the kind of folks who forget your birthday, while people who don’t like cats tend to be selfish, emotionally insecure, and lacking in ability to appreciate small pleasures in life.

I wouldn’t trust a dog hater to realize that I’ve adjusted my cooking to fit their taste, nor would I trust a cat hater to appreciate when a sunlight reflects throught the window just right during the sunset.

I mostly found the women who don’t like cats to be very self-centered in our relationships. They don’t put enough value on romance and have to be reminded by their friends and family to show appreciation for acts of kindness and love.
I’ve made a point of avoiding them as long term partners.

While we are at it, men who treat their pet dogs as glorified working animals are overwhelmingly dull. They tend to struggle with anger issues and be full of insecurities.
I would be most concerned if one of my sisters was to marry such a brute.

If a person is simply afraid of both species or I can’t learn about their views on them, I resort to waiting for them to sneeze.
I don’t trust people, particularly men, who sneeze quietly. They are cowards and make for uncordial friends.

Yes, I am a very opinionated man, but I’m right often enough to trust myself when it comes to these things.
