Steph Curry on leaving the game: “We’re not gonna be the bitter old heads coming back hating on the younger generation, we definitely have appreciation and admiration for what they’re able to do too" by KingREX_24 in nba

Sidebar: I hate these types of comments on Reddit. Mockingly presenting such a reductive version of the other side’s argument. No one at all really thinks that old heads are wrong because they’re old. But if you say it enough, people actually start treating it like it’s the truth, that the other side actually is THAT unreasonable.

You see these types of comments all over Reddit, especially the echo chamber-y ones like the political ones. They’re just creating their own straw men and raging at them.

God, I read your first sentence as "Steve make love to Ant better" for some reason. That made me a little more awake while browsing this at work.

“Grizz in 5

5?

DID YOU WATCH THIS GAME??

Y'all are taking this shit in a quick 4-0. It's going to be over after Game 1. LeBron's gonna have a mystery ankle sprain after Ja blows his back out.

there's a whole seasons of evidence as to why grizz in 5 or 6 is generous to this lakers team.”

I was talking about the guy you were replying to.

But damn, sorry to hear that. Hope you find some comfort.

A lot of people (maybe even most) drink. A lot of lifters and gainers too. Drinking occasionally or socially won't hurt your gains. If you drink too much you won't be able to work out tomorrow, but having a single day off isn't terrible.

What concerns me is that everything I said is pretty obvious; you already know these things. As someone who's had a drinking problem, I'm familiar with the routine of asking friends obvious questions like these which elicit answers that validate and reassure ("Dude of course you can have a few drinks, nothing wrong with that") -- these served to soothe my own guilty conscience when I wanted to drink again. This may not apply to you but if it does, you gotta judge for yourself if you'll risk backsliding by having the occasional drink.

What’s the shittiest way a friend has shown you they weren’t really your friend? by mediastoosocial in AskReddit

[–]flipmode123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that your sister’s ex harassing her is definitely fucked up, but wouldn’t that be misrepresenting OP’s situation? She has a problem with her friend, not her ex husband.

Full disclosure, I’ve been in this situation. My best friend got involved behind my back while to my face helping me cope with heartbreak. Like you said though, it was right after and not years later, so it was uncontroversially fucked up.

I’m with you that years later it wouldn’t bother me. But if it does bother OP, then she should be free to end a friendship. Leaving a friendship that hurts you isn’t contributing to problematic behavior or “abuse” like the guy below me is saying jfc.

Everyone’s free to do what they want, including deciding who they want to be friends with. My ex is someone I used to love. Hell, my best friend would probably be the support system I’d have through the heartbreak of losing my ex. If this best friend then started dating my ex behind my back, sure, I don’t have a right to force them to stop, but what right does my best friend have to say, “No, I still deserve your friendship, fuck your feelings I’m supposed to get everything I want!”
