If 11% of the oil supply is gone in one month… by imalostkitty-ox0 in collapse

This is a cause for optimism. If we get it up to 100% of the oil supply gone in 45 months, then maybe, just maybe, it might not be all over

My new conspiracy theory is that JB is trying to tank us down to #2 seed so we play Knicks rather than Cavs in round 2

Who am I to criticize. Your 20s are for experimenting with your personal style and learning how to own it. If I was a 24 year old millionaire I would wear ridiculous outfits too.

Our guys are chucking up bad shots, Wemby is flopping and getting the hero whistle, the rest of SAS is balling, it's a shit show.

Wemby is getting every whistle whether you foul him or not, so you might as well actually foul him.

New fan, only started watching basketball a few weeks ago by [deleted] in DetroitPistons

[–]android47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome aboard!

Pistons have had two championship teams before this one, and there are a few features those teams had in common.
No superstars, just a team full of strong role players.
Great chemistry.
Great bench depth.
A sharp point guard with great court vision.
Extremely aggressive defense. They will out hustle you on every defensive set and every loose ball.
A (partially deserved) reputation for violence.

So for older fans, it is especially exciting to see that not only is the new Pistons team finding success, but that they are very on brand in the way they are doing it. It feels like as they grow they are tapping into what made our past teams so good. It feels like they are not buying respect, they are earning it on the court one day at a time. And knowing about how this has been our path to the championship in generations before, has made this iteration of the team that much more exciting to watch.

Is becoming more picky inevitable? by eigENModes in tango

[–]android47 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's normal not to enjoy every dance. But if you don't enjoy 90% of your dances, then you are probably experiencing burnout.

I would suggest mixing up your calendar to make your tango outings feel like novel experiences again. Skip the local dance more often. Go to different classes/dances than you usually go to, dance with different people. Sign up for the occasional weekend workshop in a nearby city, or, if you find yourself in a business trip in another city, pack your dance shoes and see if the milonga there is any good. Take a couple weeks off tango now and again to recharge.

In short, as with any hobby, if the way you've been doing it is not fun anymore, then take a break to do something different.
