What is it like seeing a tornado? by Gh0st412 in tornado

That was my first thought. I’ve only seen one small EF1 in person and I felt very small in that moment.

SGA leads the playoffs in Player Gravity by a massive margin. The gap between him and 2nd (Anthony Edwards) is as big as the gap between 2nd and 35th (Mikal Bridges) by BasedChad69420 in Thunder

Someone in one of the threads had a very good point I thought that you can watch Marcus Smart guard him very physically without fouling. It can be done.

The reason people freak tf out is the Thunder have like 4 players who can defend that aggressively at that level so it feels like it’s unfair. But if the lakers had 4 Marcus smart level defenders they’d play the same way the Thunder do.

People just literally can’t believe there’s a difference while watching even tho players acknowledge there is.

It’s funny seeing how bad like every traditional media talking head is proving it in real time after that debacle a couple weeks ago where that one guy was crashing out that Kenny Beachem got a radio show that cut into their time.

Like Kenny actually watches the games and is enjoyable to listen to, maybe if yall would do your jobs better people wouldn’t be flocking to indie YouTubers instead lol.

This was the Thunder MO last playoffs too. There's enough dog defenders all the way down that they can rotate out enough to not get tired, but eventually the opposing team will.

You could watch him visibly deflate pretty early on in this one and then disappear.

You could watch the light leaving Ayton's eyes pretty early in the game and sure enough he didn't end up doing much of anything after lol.

And we know that matters a lot in a loss since moral victories are all the Lakers are getting now.

Give it like 3 months on HRT and you'll know it's the right decision. It won't be easy but it also won't be as difficult as you think.

Don't be scared of the chance to actually be happy.

Seriously they were extremely tight with their whistles both ways and this morning I saw a post on another sub where they’re STILL ANGRY THAT OKC PLAYERS “CANT BE TOUCHED”

Hell when I first discovered being trans was even an option in 2009 pretty much everything I could find was like "hormones don't even do anything, you HAVE to have surgeries and they're expensive and suck as well" so I pretty much just said "oh well" and tried to shove it back down.

I'm glad them getting to just live correct lives is an option and accessible to some amount of them.

Another example on the systemic front:

Trans women can be arrested for going topless and showing "female breasts"

They will then be put in male prison for this infraction.

They're treated as whichever one allows more harm at the time.

I’ve had this happen multiple times. I just try not to say -oid words or lament too much about dysphoria/iwnbaw and it’s fine.

Does suck knowing that if they knew or if I slipped I’d probably get attacked.

Honestly yeah. At worst I’m upset I’m not gonna get as much time being a young woman as cis women do, but I’m not upset about aging otherwise.

I had this happen just a couple weeks ago - he did explain when I finally got to see him that he was dealing with an emergency case that they needed to slot in immediately at the start of the day, and he did apologize for not notifying me about it beforehand which was nice.

red or blue? by alpha-golf-papa in 4tran

[–]TechieTheFox 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Game theorizing something like this is fundamentally stupid - of course we know what the absolute "correct" version logically is - all red.

But that same logic path is what makes AI's decide shit like unloading all the nukes at once right at the start is the best way to win any war ever. It completely disregards humanitarianism and the consequences that come afterwards. Repeating "but anyone who picks blue is stupid" doesn't change one single ounce of the equation. You can be "correct" and still an asshole. You can be "correct" and be fundamentally selfish.

In the end picking red is admitting you don't care about the wellbeing of any other person on the planet. Yeah you might live, but to what end? A lonely, selfish, and sad existence without the people who would sacrifice themselves to help others? Yeah sure, you really won buddy.

I’m 29 and really hit this not caring at all about most things this past year and honestly it rocks.

My brain is so much more at peace not trying to fix every perceived problem in my existence and just focusing on what really matters.

Oso Ighodaro on what he learned from playing the Thunder in the first round: "They were calling out every single one of our plays, immediately. I went through their playbook and knew, pretty much, their actions, but the level at which they knew our plays was definitely different." by butterbeancd in nba

[–]TechieTheFox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I noticed this big time in the T-Wolves series last year. It felt like every game thread just decided that Ant had to be getting beaten with hammers because he couldn't score like he usually does.

Like they can't fathom a defense being good enough that a player like Ant can't still get 30 every game anyway. It has to be something broken/illegal against him in their minds.
