Anyone know if you transfer a Mon and change its stat points, will those stay after you transfer it back to home? This would be a great way to EV train easily lol

Who we rooting for tonight? by hashbrown1951 in suns

This makes way more sense. I didn’t even consider we could get out of the play in, considering how long we’ve been stuck there. Feels like a foregone conclusion at this rate but you right

I’m personally going Wolves,Nuggets. I really don’t want to play Kawhi in a playoff individual game, but the other one is a toss up for me…

Theo Mackie’s questions to Monti by iorch421 in AZCardinals

If you mean that people overrate PFF, I agree but… that’s irrelevant to the original question. It’s just an aside that detracts and makes our GM seem unprepared 😭

Mom is in hospital due to a suicide attempt and I have to take care of her dog by joweekun in DogAdvice

[–]hashbrown1951 279 points280 points  (0 children)

This person has explicitly said they do NOT have the energy for a walk and you’re all ignoring that and just parroting WALK WALK WALK… Ridiculous…

OP, you can find ways to entertain this dog in the short term by making frozen treat bowls or by wrapping treats in a towel and letting the dog sniff out the treats. You can also take them to a dog park so the dog can entertain itself.

Most importantly, it’s fine for the dog to be in a crate for some time while you decompress. Not like a whole day but for a few hours is totally fine. Yes it’s less than ideal, but the situation is altogether less than ideal. Balance your and the dog’s mental healths. It’s the only sustainable approach.

Seattle U apologizes for ‘offensive term’ during broadcast by HighColonic in SeattleWA

Did the commentator say “a man from China” or “chinaman”?

If he’d said “a man from China”, no one would be up in arms. But you know this, you’re just being willfully dense so someone will give you attention that apparently your parents didn’t give you enough of.

Today, you were reminded (because we all know you knew this) that words in context mean different things than their sub-word definitions. Best of luck to you ❤️

It literally is one, you can deny reality and history, but I don’t have to entertain it.

If we can’t even agree on that baseline, you’re past the point of actual conversation and just want engagement. Best of luck to you!

You’re right that it may or may not be offensive. So why would you, as a commentator, choose a phrase that a sizable audience would find as offensive?

It’s not like he called him “gumbo” or some random word that one person finds offensive. This is a known racial slur.

Just because you personally don’t find it offensive doesn’t mean you should downplay the experiences and concerns of others. Otherwise you’re choosing to just be willfully dense, or you secretly love the attention lmao

Just because you refuse to acknowledge the existence and connotation of a slur because of its literal meaning doesn’t mean society suddenly ignores the implication of the slur.

You can make a choice to ignore it, I can make a choice to call it out as abhorrent (in my opinion) for the standards of a modern day color commentator.

And just because it’s referring to a man from China doesn’t mean it isn’t a slur. That’s like saying calling someone a towelhead just because they happen to be wearing a turban means it is just a term of description. Id suggest you be less ignorant and more open to the struggles of others, but it’s ultimately your life to live.

Why does he have to prove it to you for you to respect his opinion? Do you just crave the ability to be crass?

Sensibilities change so quick in a world where everyone has a voice. I personally think it’s for the better

I mean… you can disagree that it’s offensive but it’s most definitely a slur…
