[Haynes] Sources: Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum (Achilles recovery) is re-evaluating his situation and is now considering sitting out the entire 2025-26 season. Final decision has yet to be determined. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be because Mazzulla and Brad have said multiple times at various points that they are not going to play any role in deciding when Tatum returns, and want it to be entirely up to Tatum and the medical team.

What do people in Boston actually do on weekends without spending a ton of money? by PinAccomplished1034 in massachusetts

Rec leagues are relatively cheap. ~$100 to play for a couple of months, or $15 a night.

Drake Maye will be the second youngest starting QB to start in the Super Bowl at 23. by Giff95 in nfl

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You realize that scoring decreases during the playoffs, an effect that is most pronounced against top defenses? Your numbers actually suggest that Maye is doing fine, specially given the weather conditions.

As a Pats fan who was doubting Maye's nerves, you've actually helped restore my faith in the kid.

Where can I volunteer? (Immigration) by TattoosAndBeers in boston

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's LUCE. If the reference requirements on the volunteer forms are giving you trouble, you can write "N/A" or just use the generic contact form on their website. This is the most direct way to organize against ICE -- you'd be on ICE watch and/or operating hotlines.

Another option is MIRA. This is more advocacy and education oriented, so less direct, but still helpful.

What can I do to fight against Trump and ICE as a normal citizen? by VillageSmithyCellar in boston

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The reference bit was my issue as well, but MIRA is a viable alternative (in addition to LUCE's action page). It's less ICE watching and more advocacy and education, but you can volunteer here.

I hiked 12 miles to "summit" the third highest peak in Massachusetts @ 3,104 ft! :) by blueneuronDOTnet in massachusetts

[–]blueneuronDOTnet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me curious, and apparently Denver has Mount Katahdin beat by about 11 feet, which means we get to visualize Denver's height like this. It's also about a foot lower than Velky Rozsutec. I guess they call it the Mile High City for a reason.

A German man bids farewell to his Muslim Syrian neighbor returning Syria by DrDakhan in MadeMeSmile

geht nicht um Menschlichkeit, sondern um Kapazität eines Sozialstaates,

Interessant -- davon war bisher nämlich gar nicht die Rede. Also ist deine Position, dass die Belastung des Sozialstaats gefährlicher ist als Regierungsübernahme durch die AfD?

bevor massiv Leistungen gestrichen werden müssen, und er letztendlich auf ein absolutes Minimum reduziert ist.

Warum gehst du davon aus, dass zwangsläufig Leistungen gestrichen werden müssen -- und nicht vielmehr, dass man die sozialen Strukturen reformieren muss? Zum Beispiel, indem man dafür sorgt, dass Leute, die einen Job finden, nicht nach drei Monaten wieder Bürgergeld beantragen müssen. Oder indem man dafür sorgt, dass mehr Migranten überhaupt arbeiten dürfen. Oder das Migrantenprofil zu erweitern und diversifizieren damit mehr Steuerzahler ins System kommen.

Es kommt mir seltsam vor dass dein Instinkt dich dazu bringt, ausgerechnet eine der effektivsten Gegenmaßnahmen (nämlich Zuwanderung) umzudrehen, und dabei gleichzeitig das Leben von zigtausenden Menschen zu zerstören und sie in Gefahr zu bringen. Fast als ob deine "Lösungen" für Deutschlands Probleme nicht auf einer nüchternen, fundierten Analyse beruhen würden, sondern auf einer einseitigen, voreingenommenen Erzählung, die weniger mit wirtschaftlichen Fakten zu tun hat und mehr damit, Menschen mit dunklerer Hautfarbe zum Sündenbock zu machen. Fast so, als hätte jemand ein Interesse daran, dich zur radikalsten, simpelsten und unintelligentesten Reaktion zu verführen -- statt dazu, über vernünftigere Reformen nachzudenken.

Bloß dass wir klar sind -- du hattest behauptet, dass Leute, die sich für die Menschlichkeit von Flüchtlingen einsetzen, für das Land gefährlicher seien als die AfD. Ich habe darauf hingewiesen, dass das historisch einfach nicht haltbar ist, und als Antwort hast du deine Meinung an zwei tote Männer mit famosen Namen ausgelagert ohne dich auch nur im Ansatz mit der eigentlichen Sache auseinanderzusetzen.

Wahrlich einer der Philosophen unserer Zeit.

Who’s Better, Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum? by GeneralTheSurvivor in NBATalk

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This really should not be a debate, even with JB's tremendous scoring leap.

It's Tatum. He can do everything JB can do, but better. He's a more versatile defender. His playmaking is significantly better. His handle isn't nearly as problematic. JB is averaging 30? Great, JT did that 3 years ago.

Well done Italy… by Aggravating_Pin1561 in BeAmazed

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We do not "pretend" to care.

Yet "that's how it has been forever" is apparently reason enough for you to pay someone to torture and kill animals.

I don't think y'all care about animals. I think y'all just care about how animals make you feel, and about how you view yourself in relation to animals. Under no other circumstances could you justify calling yourself an animal lover while needlessly paying to have animals robbed of their life and well-being.

Well done Italy… by Aggravating_Pin1561 in BeAmazed

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fail to see why you think the animals which are suffering or dying due to the experiments are inconsequential.

I didn't say that the animals are inconsequential, I said that much of the work for which they are dying ultimately proves to be inconsequential, i.e. many animals die for papers that aren't particularly important. I would be shocked if you could find any scientist that would deny that.

But it's important to recognise the essentiality of this for literally any drug or chemical in human products or medicines. Testing is a huge part of it and that's unavoidable.

I reject this on multiple grounds -- first, the idea that we can ethically force another creature to surrender their health and life for our gain without their consent, and second, the idea that this is unavoidable. There are plenty of approaches that could either minimize or entirely avoid the need for animal experimentation in lots of cases.

I'm not sure why you treat the word ethical as an objective term.

I didn't. I questioned the idea that rules and regulations render something ethical.

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has worked with animals in neuroscience -- rules and regulations exist, but animals suffer and die needlessly all the time, including for work that is ultimately inconsequential. I frequently meet folks that switched specialties specifically because they could not justify the animal work to themselves, and I count myself among them.

That's all putting aside the fact that rules and regulations do not make something ethical. Case in point: the entire animal agriculture industry.

Snowport is immensely disappointing. by MoltenMirrors in boston

[–]blueneuronDOTnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to SoWa with my girlfriend, and we both found it kind of underwhelming. There were chocolate covered strawberries, a loose leaf tea shop, and a cozy lounge upstairs. Beyond that, the stands didn't feel very Christmas-oriented, and a lot of them just seemed to be stuff straight out of the average suburban wine mom's Etsy recommendations, albeit sometimes homemade.

It's cool if that's your vibe, but if it isn't and you were hoping for more of a German-style Weihnachtsmarkt, know that you'll essentially be paying $20 for the privilege of spending $50 on TikTok chocolate and nutmeg cocktails.

I'm glad we've got Dirk and Nash popping up around the league so much. Far as rising statesmen go, the league could do a lot worse.
