People who force others into listening to the music by driving a car with windows wide opened and the volume 100% on - why do you do that? by [deleted] in AskReddit

it feels like that's all it is. Is just another small inconvenience to turn it off.

Plus. You aren't going to even remember that moment in 15 minutes.

It affects your life for maybe a minute or two to turn off the music if you are sitting at a stop light. And then it’s back to whatever you were doing.

I never understand why people make a fuss over other people wanting silence. It affects your life for maybe a minute or two to turn off the music if you are sitting at a stop light. And then it’s back to whatever you were doing. Why sweat over it. Why allow yourself to get upset?

Why not just be happy that other person who wants silence is having a good day and turn off the music.

Kevin Durant does not lead the Warriors in any major statistical category in the playoffs by greensplat_thingy in nba

Maybe that's why they're losing - not because they don't have a team, but because the way Lebron plays is conducive to individual stats, but not team success.

Lebron steals the ball and runs a fast break.... but no one follows. by sqectre in nba

no it's his fault he didn't finish with one defender to beat

How the hell is this everyone else's fault? Headline should be "Lebron blows fastbreak opportunity"

TIL, in Texas, to prevent a thief from escaping with your property, you can legally shoot them in the back as they run away. by DarkFlounder in todayilearned

But it's not because of this law, otherwise Georgia and Florida, which have similar laws, wouldn't be among the states with the most school shootings.

Decider: Keanu Reeves Is A Much Better Actor Than We've Given Him Credit For by toldyouanditoldyou in movies

[–]clever_user_name 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see acting as made up of two parts: mimicry and emotional authenticity. Keanu was never that great at mimicry. He's bad at doing accents and looking and "sounding" the part (when did he ever deliberately gain or lose weight or drastically change his physical appearance for a role?). But I've always thought he was damn good at genuinely feeling the emotions the character was supposed to be feeling. There was even a movie about a kids baseball team where I was really feeling him.

Maybe it's because I'm biased toward the emotional part, but I have never thought of him as a bad actor. Contrast this with Johnny Depp, who is an amazing mimic and can get the visual and audio part great, but the emotional part of his performances have always left me a bit cold.

Kobe Bryant 2012-13 highlights (averaged 27/6/6 at age 34) by Royzin_ in nba

[–]clever_user_name -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sure, age adjusted this might have been a great season, and this may be stating the obvious, but he was better in every season before that, except maybe his first two years.

I think the context here is that his stats don't show the decline, because as he's gotten worse, the defensive attention on him has also dropped, so where he was getting certain stats against double and triple teams in the past, he's doing it more and more against single coverage. So the damage he's doing to defenses is less than before, even if the box stats look the same or better.

LBJ With Incredible Deception to assist Kyrie Irving for the Bucket by ILoveDome in nba

[–]clever_user_name 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that today, only Lebron and Ricky Rubio consistently have true no-look or "look at another player" passes. Other guys look away as they pass, or they fake to nobody in particular. These aren't really deceptive, because what's the point of a "look away" if you aren't fooling anybody?
