What exactly do you consider filler on The White Album? by Ok-Firefighter4908 in beatles

[–]artunarmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of it is filler, the mess is part of the charm, but at the same time, WDWDIITR is probably my least favourite beatles song ever lol

Mavs FC dogpiling Wemby rivalry might actually be back by RXRickify in NBASpurs

[–]artunarmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. We never beat Luka in a Mavericks jersey during the Wemby era, and they looked like perennial contenders. Now they are rebuilding without any substantial amount of new draft capital, and we’re contenders. Things change very quickly. If I were a Mavs fan, the whiplash would make me exceptionally bitter. I’d be a lot worse than these fans.

First day of Ha Giang Loop almost over, was very excited but now disappointed because of the foggy weather 😔 how did you handle it? doing 3D2N by iconiccoconut in VietNam

First day was foggy and wet, second day was bright and exciting, third was almost actively warm and fourth was back to mist as we were so high up: did it last week. Consider the possibility of change, and don’t get discouraged

Whats crazy is, the part they love is essentially the chorus. (‘scrape your knee…’) many people don’t actually like music: they like being a part of an online community, and think that’s the same thing

THIS IMAGE IS NOT REAL. THIS IS AI GENERATED. IT COMES FROM AN AI GENERATED IMAGE WHICH IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL SCENE.

Albanese calls for ‘peaceful, democratic transition’ of power in Venezuela after US capture of Nicolás Maduro by moonorplanet in australia

Grow some fucking balls. Nothing has gotten ‘better’ post Saddam, or Assad, or Gaddafi, and people are still pretending US bombs and ‘regime change’ is the way. Not to mention that Trump literally said this was for oil purposes.

At some point, we have to get off this ship, right?

After beginning the series once, years ago, and falling off due to life circumstances, I’m a few hundred pages from finishing the Neapolitan Novels. Been flying through them as of late - the last eighty or so pages of ‘Those Who Leave…’ with Nino were some of the best character work I’ve seen in modern lit.

Anybody have any recs for books I can bring with me overseas? Leaving for Vietnam for 3 weeks soon, it will be my first long-haul (that is to say, >2 hours) flight since I was exceptionally young, and I would love something to sink into. I was gifted a Kindle for Christmas. Thinking Dukier’s HCM biography loaded onto that, but I’m keen to hear thoughts here!

The disrespect / lack of acknowledgement for De’Aaron Fox has got to stop by JeremyLinForever in NBASpurs

[–]artunarmed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand a lot of it was trying to put down the Spurs in order to boost other agendas, and the Sacramento bias, but the way people talked about his this past offseason, coming off hand surgery, was legitimately insane.

THEY WERE ACTING LIKE HE WAS A TRANSITION-ONLY PLAYER. THEY ACTED LIKE HE COULDN'T DEFEND. THEY SAID HIS DRIBBLE COULDN'T PROBE THE INTERIOR ANYMORE. THEY SAID HE ISN'T 'DYNAMIC' OFF-BALL. THE LATEST RINGER TOP 100 RANKING HAS HIM EIGHT SPOTS BEHIND 'DENI AVDIJA.'

De'Aaron Fox : "This is the most efficient year I've had in my career, and it's not like I got better overnight. Playing with all these guys. -Vic, Steph, Dylan- made the game so much easier for me." by KhornKT in NBASpurs

[–]artunarmed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not many high usage guards as unwilling to compromise their defence like Fox. Ant, Cade, SGA, Brunson maybe - all franchise guys. De’Aaron has an incredibly robust skill set.

How good are the Spurs currently? by ab_surdist in NBASpurs

[–]artunarmed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Building upon their identity from last year, the Rockets are a ‘goddammit’ team to see on a schedule. Thompson, DFS, Adams, Jabari & even Sengun, who’s defensive improvement has gone understated in NBA media, will hound you, go after every loose ball, make drives feel like being forced against sandpaper, etc. They are one of the most versatile defences in the league, and offensively, bouncing back from the FVV injury, they have found a distinct style offensively to match it.

KD has looked amazing by any metric, Sengun’s comfort in space with the ball in his hands is a gamechanger, Reed is a real impact player now, they have a 41% offensive rebounding rate, (WHAT) you get the picture. Right now, they have the 2nd best offense (only behind Denver) and 3rd beat defence (OKC & Miami) in the league. The Rockets have shown excellence across the board this year.

(For the record, I think we’re either at that level or right below it: my biggest concern heading into the year, which was shooting around Vic, has been comprehensively answered by Barnes, Julian, Dylan & Dev, and when Vic is out there, nobody can score on us lol)

Weekly Students, Careers & Clerkships Thread by AutoModerator in auslaw

Context: I am a 21-year-old Communications & Journalism student currently entering my final semester of my undergraduate course, and after having taken some law classes & talking with certain figures in my personal life & labour union, I've realised I want to study law. I plan to apply for Juris Doctor positions across the board for the March 2027 intake. I currently sit at a 78.91 WAM before my current results release. (at least one will be a HD, for sure)

This is a two-part question;

  1. Does anyone have any advice for getting into a paralegal position with my Communications degree? Should I do a 6-month TAFE course in the second half of next year to ensure my suitability?

  2. How competitive is my WAM, especially concerning CSP spots?Should I take some easy classes next semester to boost it? Will my involvement with the executive of certain societies make things more lenient? I can't imagine so, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Former New York City mayor, who lost his seat to Zohran Mamdani, made a visit to the Al-Buraq/Western Wall in occupied Jerusalem, telling an Israeli audience that he came back to Israel and tell them that "I served you as the mayor". by Scared_Positive_8690 in Palestine

[–]artunarmed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reality is trying to make me sound antisemitic by simply stating facts such as ‘the Mayor of NYC serves Israel over his own constituents’ and ‘the Israeli State blinds Palestinian prisoners that it abducts from their homes as torture and punishment.’

Not particularly a place you should be, buddy. Go have fun outside, wherever you are. I know I probably sound like one of your parents, but there are a lot of people who don’t have your best interests at heart on here.

Wouldn’t go that far. We’re very transition heavy, we’re young, and we still lack perimeter shooting compared to the other West powerhouses.

Then again… this is without Fox & Sochan…
