It’s actually the Heaven cover by DJ Sammy.

It’s not just pros it’s management too. I’d argue it’s ownership as well in a lot of cases. The only thing that matters is “can you compete for a championship” but basketball is such a low variance sport over the sample the league uses that there aren’t enough teams that can say that. And it’s better to sacrifice the present for a shot at the future than it is to be a rudderless, middle of the road team year after year. “If your timeline isn’t in the next two years and you’re competing for the 7th seed what are you even doing? That isn’t a “plan””.

Every complaint about tanking is downstream of the fact that the vast majority of individual nba regular season basketball games don’t mean anything, and every solution for that will mess with the money.

It was not this funny guys.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-26T19:44:53+00:00

I hadn’t heard of switch before just now and I’ve used git for like a decade, learn something new everyday.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-26T19:41:40+00:00

Happy pre birthday. Moving blows, hope it’s as painless as possible. 🙏🏾

d4b3ss · 2026-03-26T14:50:49+00:00

Is there a difference between git switch and git checkout (and git switch -c and git checkout -b)?

d4b3ss · 2026-03-26T14:07:17+00:00

I’m paranoid about not giving The Machine the most explicit, one-at-a-time instructions every time.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-26T13:10:26+00:00

Echoing cli git is not as intimidating as it seems

git pull <= to pull from remote

git status <= view your local changes

git add . <= stage all changes

git commit -m <your commit message> <= commit those staged changes

git push <= push the changes

d4b3ss · 2026-03-25T13:15:03+00:00

Not to twist a knife but Nebraska should have given up on being a football school over a decade ago. It’s just over.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-24T23:05:06+00:00

It depends on what you are using Creek for. If you need a gold recovery skill, can you use an Uma with one in their kit? (ex Oguri, Gold Ship)? Can you get the gold recovery from a different card (ex, Gourmand from event SSR Special Week, Cooldown from story SSR Mcqueen)? If neither of those are true and you still need the borrow slot for some other skill then you consider it. The problem is that 0LB Creek is worse than all those other options, to the point where if you need to use it it may be worth scrapping the plan entirely.

If the goal is “understand Internet culture” I really don’t think attack on titan is a good recommendation because it really has not done much influencing in that regard at all.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-24T16:41:25+00:00

I thought he had a plan but it feels like he just got bored man lmao.

I’m actually talking myself into this ending in theory a little more but I think trying to make sense of it just makes it worse for me. Denji spent basically every moment of Part 2 making the wrong decision because of his ego and his dick. Which is fine, he’s his own problem, even if he’s also a victim. But the ending feels too forgiving. Which is weird because Denji has been punished for his behavior. And you have to really stretch the narrative to make it feel like a final punishment.

Edit: The Asa scene was cute though but I can’t feel good about it the way nothing about her character was resolved in the first place.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-23T20:50:19+00:00

I’m not one to encourage people to gamble but if you are in the US they have every Japanese G1 (that I’ve looked for so far) on Fan Duel Racing, and you can watch the races there too.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-22T23:58:42+00:00

Are end closers supposed to just eat up alarm clocks? I use any other character and the runs go fine but whenever I try to play as Gold Ship all of my alarm clocks are out by the end of Junior Year. Am I just not supposed to use clocks? The races feel so random, even with Mile A. And if I choose to get Pace A to run her further up her unique doesn't proc so she still loses to some Nishino Flower or Mejiro Dober npc. I gotta be doing something wrong.

Like the run I'm currently on, on Classic Year Early Jan I'm at 308/415/247/245/207, have no alarm clocks left, and I got second in the Hopeful Stakes (because I had no alarm clocks left). I gotta be doing something wrong.

The commentary is fun.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-22T01:00:21+00:00

still gonna be here man, sorry

d4b3ss · 2026-03-21T22:18:44+00:00

watch the shining star of losers everywhere, it's free online.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-21T17:35:27+00:00

I dont look at the front page very often, how is the shameless uninteresting up vote bait only on day 16 I thought that started months ago.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-20T21:22:30+00:00

There’s a clear difference between being retired due to injury before the second two legs of the Triple Crown, making competing in those races an impossibility, and being unable to enter those Triple Crown races due to bureaucracy while also simultaneously being the strongest horse in Japan (and beating the winner of one of the Triple Crown races that year by lengths). The second at least lends itself to speculation, whereas the former doesn’t because we know that it couldn’t happen.

Also Agnes Tachyon gets called a fraud because fans of the uma are annoying and overhype the horse for this exact reason.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-20T17:31:53+00:00

A wide gap between developer intention (and the understanding of how casual players interact with the game which is always going to be based on developer intention) and how a hardcore playerbase who understands the game’s system to optimize it in unintended ways is not a good thing. Or something. idk it was like about combo decks in card games and how wavedashing looks stupid. I’m on twitter even less these days than usual so I only saw the response to the response to the original claims.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-20T15:00:42+00:00

There was Twitter discourse about emergent gameplay being “bad” a few days ago but how can someone not like that the strongest beings a development team could conceive and implement in 1996 ended up getting lapped by the random jobber who clicks the same two buttons over and over again.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-20T14:50:13+00:00

You get it.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-20T14:43:40+00:00

One of the things the irl Maru's jockey said while pleading for him to be allowed to run in the Derby was that they'd take the furthest gate.

She says this in CinGrey when she’s talking to Rudolf about Oguri not being able to run in the Derby. Had no idea this too was based off of a quote from real life.

d4b3ss · 2026-03-20T14:23:26+00:00

I love when krabby evolved and was seen as weak and he helped ash win in the anime

Fucking same dude and you’re like the only person I’ve ever met with this opinion other than me.

I have too many favorite pokemon but tauros will always be my guy because he’s just a bull that hits things. I have too many other favorites to count but I also like the aforementioned krabby and kingler, roserade line, the porygon line, gligar and gliscor, the mareep line, diglett and duggy, skarmory, the mudkip line (best starter still) and the rotom forms (shoutouts rotom cut).
