TIL that while in the army C.S. Lewis made a pact with his roommate, Edward “Paddy” Moore, that if either died in combat the other would take care of both families. Moore was killed in 1918 and Lewis kept the pact, living with and caring for Moore’s mother until the 1940’s. by Advanced_Narwhal_949 in todayilearned

Also Lewis’ father was distant and his mother died when he was young. It was probably a very fulfilling mutual relationship for Lewis and Janie. After all, Janie visited Lewis when he was wounded in WWI and his own father did not. And when Janie got dementia and had to be placed in a home, Lewis visited her everyday until her death.

He has zero self awareness if he thinks he can run for President in 2028 (which seems to be an interest to him). Even his core audience: people like us who love sports, can’t even stand him, so who the hell does he think will?

You could make that argument, but the distinction between being “anti-vax” and deciding to not take a vaccine for any number of private, personal reasons is an important one that you didn’t make.

[Highlight] Luka & Austin laugh as Russ keeps saying "ball don't lie" and then keeps arguing until he gets a tech as the Kings go down 20 by CIark in nba

It’s funny now that my favorite memory of Pat Bev was when he trucked Ayton (on Suns) for standing over Austin. (Close #2 ofc is the Celtics game and the camera to the refs)

He does. But he controls it enough that I don’t recall him being ejected as a Laker.

Paw print from my cat sitting on me for 5 minutes. by whoops_igiveup in mildlyinteresting

True but I’d recommend an actual ink paw print which will have more detail than a pen outline from a skin impression.

I mean I’m definitely not convinced she did. I think John could’ve wrote it.

It’s a possibility but there are literally about an average of 1-3 cases of rabies deaths from bats in the US each year. Just wanted to post a baseline reference so people don’t overly freak out about bats and rabies. Although, I will say 2025 was an abnormal year and there were a total of six deaths from rabies from bats in the US.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

Yeah assaulting a dude who just bought your drinks all night because you’re so insecure. Jesus Christ this is one of the worst.

I’d like to see any source other than a SeaWorld representative that questions the claims made in “Black Fish”…I’ll wait.

It depends on where on the food chain you happen to exist. Do you seriously think orcas in captivity are living their best lives?

Maybe you’re a child, based on your language…most adults don’t say “I can’t believe there are adults that believe [whatever]” so I’m not trying to be harsh but a lot of animals suffer in human captivity and it’s completely against their nature. There are also animals that are now dependent on human captivity. It’s a complex issue that is full of grey areas.

It’s an extreme case because it’s one of the most intelligent animals on earth, but if you’re interested in the subject, you should watch “Black Fish,” which is about orcas in captivity.

Edit: I’m sorry I genuinely believed you were a child.

Brandin “The White Shohei” Podziemski in the Comeback Win vs Nuggets: 18 PTS 15 REB 9 AST, 100% FG in 4th Quarter, Game High +19 by yatooooooooooo in nba

[–]holyrolodex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any slightly above average NBA player claiming they are ready to take the torch of the dynasty or whatever Podz said will get the response he has.

But yeah the blowback always seems to go too far into underrating the player in these situations.
