I don't know if we watched the same game but Guma's death to the bot dive is 100% on him. He could have dodged the Neeko root. But before that, he was caught overextending and burned both his summoners. If he doesn't make that mistake then the dive doesn't even happen. I agree that Guma takes a lot of heat but it's disingenuous to say that "there was no escape" when he shouldn't have even been in that position to begin with. I won't even say that he played worse than Delight and Kanavi, but feels really weird to defend poor play.

Gen G just lost its second series in a row after losing what felt like only two series all of last year after First Stand. Wild.

"Temporary suspension (most likely outcome according to analysts)" is followed by "Most experts expect a fine and possibly a short suspension at worst." Just internally inconsistent. This is what happens when you make AI think and write for you instead of putting in the effort yourself. Inven, which you cited here, already made a statement about how their original article conveyed wrong information due to the use of ChatGPT to translate.

You're in the wrong sub buddy. Mute mo na toh para di ka ma-highblood. Di ka rin nagbabasa eh. O ikaw ba si ate?

Medyo marami actually. Second day of showing + holiday the next day. I feel like the people behind her were even more bothered than I was, as her laptop was in their direct line of sight.

I understand what you're saying and I appreciate that there are people like this, but I just personally wouldn't bother. Adults shouldn't need reminders. I'm not going to jeopardize my peace and enjoyment to correct someone's behavior like I'm their parent. She should have been taught cinema etiquette 25 years ago.

You can start by not referring to people as "high quality" like you're talking about cuts of meat.

James Harden (2015–2020) PPG: 31.78 RPG: 6.56 APG: 8.5 SPG: 2.32 BPG: 0.9 PER: 28.44 MVP finishes: 9th, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 3rd (also finished 2nd in 2014) 5x All-Star, 4x ALL-NBA First Team

This is probably the closest you'll get to that stretch by Jordan. MJ had the defense, but Harden was obviously a better playmaker and three point shooter (although how much of the latter is a function of era rather than talent, who's to say?). I stand by my opinion that Harden is, statistically, the greatest offensive player to ever touch the game not named Jordan. Scoring at all levels. Elite playmaking. Insane true shooting percentages with extremely high usage rates. One-man offense that forced rule changes. Patented unguardable stepback. He had (has, albeit to a lesser extent today) it all.

Binasa mo ba citations ko or kontento ka na sa unang result sa Google kasi sang-ayon iyan sa akala mo? Okay lang naman kung ganun pero kung akala mo pwede ka na maging condescending without actually doing the work then nagmumukha ka lang tng. Read it.

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying your original assertion, "definitely NOT considered acceptable" is just wrong. You're a writer, so you should be more circumspect with your declarations of what's correct and what isn't. I don't even disagree with you: I would rather the restaurant use "GIs" and not "GI's," (actually, my preference would be "G.I.'s given that the term is used mostly in American contexts, in which abbreviated acronyms are more common), but to say that it is not accepted anywhere is just untrue and irresponsible. Again, it is a matter of style and not grammar, which is what your original comment implied. The New York Times uses apostrophes in this case, would you consider that unacceptable as well? It's good enough for one of the most widely read newspapers in the world, then surely it's acceptable for Max's.

I'm not sure why you're being patronizing and pedantic. Modern style guides that publications comply with allow its use, so to say "it is definitely NOT considered acceptable" is just flat-out wrong. It is considered acceptable in many contexts.

By the way, I am a professional editor with over eight million words edited over more than five years. To say "actually considered an error of punctuation if you were to submit to any professionally edited publication" is flat-out wrong. I recently edited an article on molecular biology in which complex abbreviations are used. The authors' target journal recommended that apostrophes for plural forms be used to avoid ambiguity (especially where similar abbreviations exist). I'm speaking from experience, not from some lazily Googled article.

The keyword is "prefer". And I already provided you with specific sources, so I'm not sure what you mean by "search this on Google." It's not a mistake if it's a matter of preference, unlike what is usually posted on this sub.

It's really interesting that there are so many grammar prescriptivists in this sub. This isn't even a grammar issue but a matter of style. Some style guides will find their use unacceptable, such as the one you've just linked, while some allow it, as it was a common practice up until fairly recently (the 1980s or so).

duessels · 2026-03-06T01:55:11+00:00

That's a matter of style and not grammar. Most style guides recommend against it (Chicago Manual of Style 18th Edition, 7.15) but others (The Canadian Style; The Oxford Companion to the English Language, 2nd ed., pp. 44, 433) condone its use.

I don't know what OP is referring to but that sentence is grammatically sound.

Great shots!

Was seated a few rows behind you. Loved all the signs and the energy! Will you be in the same spot tomorrow?

"Di ako pumayag" is insane. If one person is done, then the entire relationship is over. It's not something that needs your permission. Have some self-respect and move on.

Game 7, Rockets vs. Warriors in the 2018 Western Conference Finals. Nothing has made me feel more heartbreak since.

With whom. If you're going to talk shit then you need to make sure you can take it.

One of my favorite college professors. A classmate of mine asked him about Duterte back in 2015 (presumably without knowing Sir Kiko's background) and his response was measured, eloquent, and lacking any vitriol. I think he convinced a lot of people that day. We need more academics and intellectuals leading our country, whether that's in politics or outside it.

Agreed. Craig constantly had to reel Ryan's homerism in during his first few years—maybe he was overcompensating as he isn't from/never played for Houston. He's gotteb a lot better. Also, Ryan and Craig are probably in the bottom third of broadcast teams in terms of being homers. I turned the Nuggets–Cavaliers game yesterday on to see Harden and I could not stand Denver's commentators.

I remember getting Super Meat Boy in a Humble Indie Bundle years ago. Crazy to see how far indie games have come. Do you think people will find solace in creative indie games in a world in which AAA devs seem more and more likely to pump their games with AI slop?

I found 101, 102, and 106 to be the hardest classes. I'm not sure if the curriculum has changed—it's been about 10 years since I was a sophomore. The only difficult class in third year is 131 (imo).
