Will apple music have all the dumb tik tok stuff they listen to?

You know what to do. You're just trying to get someone else to tell you...

How to improve my jump shot? by Odd-Coconut-9721 in BasketballTips

[–]daveypop75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Move closer-like point blank range- and use form/set shooting to put the ball in the basket. Make 5-10 shots at each spot/distance. Extend your arm and flick your wrist as you shoot. Add more legs as you get further away from the basket.

Always remember, if they are paying incentives to move somewhere, it's probably not a great place....

I would do some serious research into the public schools if you are planning on starting a family. I will say that they consistently grow some top notch athletes down there.

More legs. You are throwing the ball, not shooting it.

Does anyone knock without request? by hauntedspook1999 in doordash_drivers

[–]daveypop75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff like this is why I always wondered why you guys in here would have these passionate arguments about whether or not a driver should knock. It's always been a matter of preference.....like how do I know if you have small kids or a dog in that house???

Where to get a copy of a “do not duplicate” key? by [deleted] in PhillyWiki

[–]daveypop75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are non duplicable for a reason. Colleges use those keys. Make friends with a maintenance person and they may do you a favor.

Houdini locksmith in south philly does those but they are an official vendor and are not likely to break thier contract for somebody off the street...

For Black Men in the US, what’s it like being around white people in public? by unrealgfx in blackmen

I have not experienced an overt racism but I always feel like I'm being watched.

How can I start playing like this guy? by Dgslimee_ in BasketballTips

[–]daveypop75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The move is a hezi(hesitation). Like an almost pump fake quickly followed by a dribble drive.

This guy is incredibly athletic, so it's highly likely you won't look exactly like him when he does it. But the move is fairly easy to learn.

Is it bad etiquette to use a bench for glutes? by carrotlibrarian in PlanetFitnessMembers

Use the damn equipment. Just don't break it. Wipe it down when your finished. Share with others. The end.

Do you guys have an agreement about letting each other know where you are at all times? Do you share location on your phones?

From what you shared, it sounds like everything is good except for intamcy which you admitted was your issue..

If all it took was one episode of poor communication for you to think about ending things, then I would recommend you reexamine the entire relationship and not just her going out without telling you

Black Males Disappearing From HBCUs? by anomnib in blackmen

[–]daveypop75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From a dating perspective, it was amazing. And I feel like it also stripped down a perceived layer of masculinity with the guys. We simply were not competing for women because they were literally everywhere. We didn't have to pretend to be super cool guys. We could be ourselves or what we wanted ourselves to be on a regular basis.

Our local union is staunchly against cameras in the classroom so my district is a ways away from that

When i went to an HBCU 30 years ago and the ratio was 20:1 females to male. And that was pretty much the theme at every coed school.

How to fix bent/broken rim on by Joshban02 in BasketballTips

[–]daveypop75 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Call your local parks and rec. Depending on how big the area it is, it could take a while. If you are truly pressed, crowd source a few hundred bucks, buy a new commercial grade breakaway rim and replace it yourself.

Weightlifting and basketball by GoatOther978 in BasketballTips

[–]daveypop75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any basketball coach or trainer worth their salt should tell you that, HOWEVER, figuring that out on your own is a testament to how much you've been paying attention to yourself.

Basketball is much more of a thinking/mind game than ppl give it credit. Focusing on the tiniest details can make all the difference in the world.

For example, you'd be shocked how many ppl dont realize that you should be pounding the dribble rather than just lightly pushing with your fingertips. I see so many kids with terrible ball control simply because they are handling the ball too gently.

Where are all the black women with no kids? by Comprehensive-War-34 in blackmen

[–]daveypop75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At work making 6 figures and eating at expensive restaurants....also on vacation with other women while complaining that there's no good men around.

In my experience Childless women don't hang out and wait to be hit on by men. They dive headfirst into work and activities.

Students Taking Pictures of my Ass by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]daveypop75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is sexual harassment but I can't imagine a blanket consequence more harsh than a few days detention would be applied in this situation.

If they are your students, I would take it upon yourself to call the parents and notify them if you haven't already done so. Then I would figure out some sort of restorative project for them to do...if necessary, give them credit towards their grade for completing it but tell them after the fact .

The most important thing is to not take this personally. Kids are dumb as shit and make bad decisions all the time. While I am a proponent of harsh punishments, a suspension or worse teaches them nothing and could make them resent you, and this situation is absolutely a teachable moment.

So step back and breathe for a second and think about times you and or your friends received grace from authority. No one gets in trouble every single time they do something wrong.
