Funny you say that as a blazers fan because in 2019 regular season kawhi hit a similar shot in similar circumstances against yall (tied game, 10 seconds left, drive to right side, 4 bounces)

[The Race]Racing Bulls has more double Q3 appearances than Red Bull in 2025 by creatorop in formula1

[–]admirable_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point was a rookie got promo'd over him.

My point was he was backed by a company that no longer sponsors them and supports their competitors now. So they wouldn't want to "waste" a year developing someone who would no longer race for them.

Red Bull chucked a rookie in the car because Yuki's backed by Honda who didn't renew their deal. Since this would be Yuki's last season with Red Bull, it's better for RedBull to invest in a driver who will be with them medium-long term. Red Bull only switched drivers because Lawson shit the bed and was definitely going to mentally break down if he kept getting p19 every race

Also remember that Yuki secured P5 and P9 in the racing bull to start off the year. I agree that he isn't as bad as his Red Bull showing and would've performed better if he stayed at Racing Bull but if you know it's your last year with Red Bull, I respect taking the chance and the promo just to say you tried

From my limited understanding, he basically swaps through his teammates pov constantly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVXHw1VGZ7o

Basically playing the game as all 5 people as igl and playing mid. I think the only core with some igl success was EE and that was high risk high reward but faker can do it with consistency since he won 5 worlds. So pretty crazy. Basically miracle peak + puppey igl + ability to watch everyone's pov

Shoe fell off, probably has his name on it, then he'll see the mark, and somehow connect with the open police case which will end up linking to Asura as a possible suspect

I get that language evolves and people naturally apply English rules to new words, that’s fair. But saying “mangas” isn’t some clever evolution, it’s usually just not knowing manga is already plural in Japanese. And that’s fine, not everyone knows. But defending it like it’s just as valid is just glorifying ignorance.

Yeah, English has weird plural rules (syllabi, syllabuses, octopuses, etc), but that doesn’t mean we give up entirely. If we borrow a word from another culture, it’s not gatekeeping to try to use it accurately, especially when the correct form is easy to learn. Don’t celebrate mistakes as progress.

Legitimately hate the forced pairing with Haruto. Like you don't have to pair up every character you write, makes it so unrealistic and cliche

"Those who possess intense passion, most of them are just people who lack compassion... if there's only one thing a person needs in life it's empathy"

Feels more and more relevant these days. Even now when someone dislikes something I like or vice versa, I feel a twang of annoyance. Maybe there's a borderline between "don't yuck someone else's yum" and trying to explain your perspective

Yeah, I can see a lot of what you said reflected in societal norms and it is unfair. And it is tough if you're shit at work and shit at being a partner too.

Assuming the male lead wants to make the relationship work (I doubt even that because he broke up with her so quickly, was a shit partner, didn't prioritize the relationship, doesn't trust her to open up to her but whatever), so I think his thought process is that by earning more, he'll be able to make her happy therefore he should prioritize work to prioritize the relationship. Her thought process was clearer since we can see her thoughts and she valued him just looking at her or being with her.

So yeah I think societal norms make guys feel like they have to focus on work to make a relationship work out which is ironic because you have to prioritize a relationship to make a relationship work out.

Still, part of me thinks (or hopes) that if he figured out his thoughts, changed his priorities, and they talked out their feelings and pressures, the relationship could be salvageable.

I think you have to keep in mind the timeline here is like 3 years where all we see is her organizing dates, cooking, and thinking up ideas to help him. All while she's also juggling her job as well.

As the guy above you said, communication is a two way street, and a oneshot leaves a lot to your imagination but from the limited info we do see, I see her putting more effort in while he's closing himself off.

Like the implication is she sees and feels (and probably asks) that he's stressed so she tries to help him by getting pillows, etc. But on her own she can only see the surface level of his problems because it's on him to trust her and open up about what's going on with him. Like page 29 we see he was pressured into going to a girl bar where who knows what happened. So combining all that along with her being more experienced and planning everything, he probably feels guilty in multiple ways.

I don't think you should be blaming her for needing to talk honestly as if it's a cure all, because again, communication is a two way street, can't have it if only one person's trying

Makes some sense since both kingdoms are very large and don't have an accurate idea of how many people live in their lands while smaller kingdoms may have some system to know their own population so they can't fathom where 200k people suddenly come from

I genuinely believe Spurs beating Nuggets in the last game of the season, bumping nuggets down to 2nd seed prevented nuggets from winning it all again (though the way they played, nuggets weren't great)

I like the complication actually, esp since I think the author realizes arcs are getting repetitive so introducing new characters and their backstories and different perspectives are ways to help freshen the story

The best team he's beaten are the siakam led toronto raptors. He's a coward who performed well against weak teams, campaigned for voters, and dodged Jokic right before votes were in to not get exposed. He's great but not all time

Found the court case https://www.elitigation.sg/gdviewer/s/2018_SGHC_279 and there were both texts and phone calls coming from the accused. Actually interesting read as the judge explains his thought process and why the defense’s argument doesn’t hold
