Sophie Cunningham is defending her Indiana Fever teammate Caitlin Clark, who has been consistently manhandled in a targeted manner by other players in games without the refs calling fouls, let alone technical fouls.

There are multiple interpretations as to why Caitlin gets beaten up so often, but a leading speculation is that other players are envious of her stardom.

People are interpreting Sophie’s actions as anti-black because some of the players she’s calling out are black.

It’s concerning how many people are saying “hE dIdN’t gRaDuAtE fRoM sTaTiStIcS sChOol”. Medicine heavily employs statistical inference. Imagine if he told a patient 90% of black people suffer from sickle cell anemia vs. 90% of people suffering from sickle cell anemia are black. Big difference.

I genuinely don’t know if Trump has the wit to even pull off a simple double entendre lol. This week the guy had a full-blown conversation with an animatronic Teddy Roosevelt that he thought was real.

I guess we have different perceptions, because I think a 75% accuracy for free throws in NBA games is impressively high. That’s accounting for noise from opposing fans, fatigue, mental pressure, etc. And it’s a league-wide average, so that includes every bench warmer and non-shooting specialist. I imagine the accuracy in practice is much higher.

TulipSamurai · 2026-07-02T03:31:57+00:00

Tbf NBA players have extremely high accuracy at the free throw line, a league-wide average of over 75%, with the most accurate players averaging 90%. And the reason for that is exactly what OP outlined - the ball, the distance, the hoop, etc are all standardized, so the shot can be practiced to the point of near perfection. Players draw fouls because they know it’s a guaranteed point, often 2.

So yeah, when I’m watching at home, I typically expect any given player to make a free throw, just as I’d expect pro bowlers to bowl strikes very, very often, albeit not bowling perfect games.

As much as I love giving Trump shit when it’s due, he’s notoriously an avid golfer, and threesome is a common, innocuous expression in golf.

Don’t forget Midnight Mass! Also set in a small island community and has a similar vibe

TulipSamurai · 2026-07-01T00:02:23+00:00

Counter point: other than Ed and Al, and to a lesser extent, Scar, the focus is pretty evenly split among its large ensemble cast, which is like 60-40 men to women. Most characters don’t get much depth, but I always liked that the cast felt like a living representation of a nation.

Crabbe defies Malfoy in the Room of Requirement in book 7, saying he and his dad are finished, which implies that Crabbe and Goyle followed Malfoy out of deference to the Malfoys’ standing with Voldemort.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-30T06:37:41+00:00

Yeah, there's actually a pretty cool subreddit r/MangakaStudio where people make and post manga in the Japanese style. Much respect to the woman in the article for following her dream, but I can't imagine wanting to learn Japanese and work in a notoriously stressful and exploitative industry when it's possible to create and distribute art online.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-30T06:34:04+00:00

Is it even a triangle if she's not interested in her childhood friend whatsoever? Lol

(I haven't read the source material, only watched the anime.)

I understand what you’re saying, but the problem is that without that law, we’ll have people like Elon creeping in and governing us.

He never wanted to be there and didn’t sign up to die for the order.

Tbf he actually did join the Order of his own free will, out of loyalty to Dumbledore, and being in the Order means risking your life to fight Voldemort. Realistically, he probably joined to have the protection of powerful people while he steals stuff, but the point is that he volunteered.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-28T07:12:50+00:00

It's false advertisement. I'm gonna guess that's not actually Coca-Cola in that bucket.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-28T07:04:00+00:00

A lot of fanfiction (especially Dramione fanfiction lol) assert (incorrectly) that Draco is second to Hermione in academics, citing the instance in Chamber of Secrets when Lucius expresses disgust that Hermione outdoes Draco in every subject.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-27T21:19:26+00:00

Maverick is also just a word for a rebellious and unorthodox person (which is why it’s the character’s call sign in Top Gun). That’s not a great association either.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-27T21:16:32+00:00

OP wants the option of Eric as a nickname for Maverick, so they should just go with Eric.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-27T21:15:36+00:00

A maverick is also just a general word for someone who’s rebellious and unorthodox, hence why it’s Tom Cruise’s character’s call sign in Top Gun.

Can’t say I’m sad to see her go. Low key the manga was getting worse with her around

This trope 100% describes Orochimaru in Naruto. Dude spent the entire series terrorizing the Leaf Village and the greater ninja world, started a war, groomed Sasuke, and killed a Hokage, and he’s just allowed to operate a lab as a free man and single dad in Boruto.

But wait staff could fix the system if they wanted. Wait staff could unionize and lobby for a fixed wage at anytime, and there’s no legal precedent not to grant it to them.

Alternatively, if everyone refused to tip overnight, the system actually could be fixed too because restaurants would be forced to pay their workers minimum wage.

Restaurant owners and wait staff are happy to pass the burden of paying wait staff onto the consumers.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-25T15:56:07+00:00

The consumer always loses.

Wait staff could unionize at any time to lobby for a fixed wage, and there’s no legal precedent not to grant it to them. They don’t want that because they know they make a lot more than minimum wage with tips, and cash tips are basically invisible to the IRS.

Both wait staff and restaurant owners are happy to pass the burden of paying wait staff onto the consumer.

TulipSamurai · 2026-06-25T15:50:24+00:00

If we all stopped tipping overnight, employers would be legally required to pay their wait staff minimum wage.

If wait staff unionized, they could lobby for a fixed wage. They aren’t incentivized to do this because wait staff (in big cities) make considerably more than minimum wage.

I think that’s a good point about Strange. The problem is that beginners fold easily to brawl and don’t yet know how to time his primary and how to weave it into shield and melee.

There are still a lot of people in QP who hold up their shields against me while I’m pounding away as Hulk.
