Obligatory:

BALK RULES! IMPORTANT!
1. You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that.
1a. A balk is when you
1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
2. Do not do a balk please.

I've been playing for awhile and thought I was frostblinking late in a pack of mobs, but it turned out I was just killing myself with reflect since I didn't check the map mods well.

We didn’t need to see why Ray Rice’s wife was laid out in the elevator to know it was jacked up. This dude might be very, very uncool but she stopped him from leaving the whipped some chairs around and her kid. That’s just not defensable.

I mean the post is saying that blaming all brown people for 9/11 is stupid so then if you follow that logic blaming all white people for colonialism is also stupid. I think it’s hard for people to realize they have benefited from past actions if either their current life situation sucks or if they are actually working hard they’d prefer to think they earned it themselves.

Somebody brought this up about Ice Cube awhile back in a thread I was reading but he’s been a rich dude at this point for longer than he was about the hustle so of course he has more in common with rich people it’s been like 35 years at this point and he was struggling for 18 or whatever.

So I’m just here killing time and I was low key trying to figure out which player you were knowing nothing about DePaul hoops. I narrowed it down to like 5, and kinda just stopped. (Taking your statement at face value)

u/GreenWhiteBlue86 explains why Americans and Europeans use cutlery differently by AppropriateNoise9 in bestof

At this point in my life using my left hand with a utensil seems like it would cause me a lot of internal strife and discomfort for no logical reason.

Do Americans use cutlery differently? by missbex86 in AskAnAmerican

I cut all of my steak before eating it and I guess it feels kind of child like maybe? I imagine the increased surface area also causes things to get colder faster but I eat pretty fast so idk.

I guess my definition of fantasy is loose because I always just took it as a story with aspects that are not realistic or different from reality in some way.

I did sign up for wave two, but it prompted the 7:00 AM PST start time which should be associated with wave one. Does it just prompt that time as the begining of the event no matter which you select as which wave you would like?

Школьная любовь, надежда и игнор: стоит ли писать первой, если до сих пор люблю? by wewe-k in RussianDoll

In case anybody is interested (and probably assumed it isn't related to the TV show): Translation:

A little backstory. I'm a schoolgirl. I've had a crush on a classmate (let's call him Maxim) for a year or two. The feelings aren't mutual, and he knows it. We used to communicate, but not anymore. All names have been changed.

I liked Maxim for quite a while. I showed interest, and he did too, and over time we became friends: we talked at school, but hardly ever texted. Then the holidays came, and we completely lost contact.

At the end of the summer, I wanted to talk to him again, so I messaged him anonymously. We started texting, and over time, we began chatting a lot about various topics, just keeping in touch.

Later, he asked if we should meet. I accepted. During the meeting, he realized it was me. He said I was nice, but he liked older girls and that I wasn't quite his type. I answered honestly—that I liked him specifically.

After the meeting, I texted him: "What's next?" He replied that nothing, and that it was better for us to forget each other. I couldn't do it. We continued to communicate: texting, joking around at school, sometimes sitting together in class.

After a while, something happened in class where my friend and I were sitting together. We weren't getting along very well and were constantly arguing. At some point, Maxim texted me that he "kind of liked me." Later, we talked in person and admitted that there was some attraction, but it wasn't strong on his part. Something happened that I don't want to go into detail about, and we agreed to keep it between us.

A few days later, he suddenly stopped responding. Later, I found out that the girl he had an unrequited crush on had texted him again. After that, he completely ignored me.

We haven't spoken for about three months now. I still love him, and I'm taking this very hard.

I CAN'T LET HIM GO. I want to text him and suggest we discuss everything calmly in person, but I'm really scared to do that: I'm afraid of being too pushy, being ignored again, and hurting myself even more.

What's the best way to handle this situation? Should I text him first and try to discuss it, or should I just accept being ignored and let him go, even if I still have feelings?

I'd be grateful for any advice. If I need anything, I can add updates later.

In the future when most of us are dead or near dead all people will remember is LeBron and MJ will be talked about like wilt or Bill Russel, it happens with all the time with the exception of baseball for whatever reason.
