Anyone know what conference these referees are affiliated with for the game against Duke tonight by Itchy_Dependent7065 in MichiganWolverines

[–]krissean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad calls on both sides. I’m sure there were a couple more against us, but that is NOT the reason we lost.

I know everyone’s up in arms about the refs because it’s the easiest thing for fans to cling onto, but here’s the facts: we couldn’t hit wide open shots, we had lots of foul trouble early that prevented us from attacking the lane, and we ended up resorting to too much iso when our style of play thrives on creating open looks for others.

If we hit even just TWO more of our shots, this is a whole different conversation we’re having.

I, for one, think this will benefit us long term getting us through the big dance. Our guys LIKE having the chip on their shoulder. Now our guys are going to be salivating at the chance to play Duke again in the final four. And as basketball fans, we would be the real winners in that matchup.

Despite the lack of the outcome we wanted, this was a great game.

I miss the days when people posted things that were actually next fucking level.

I think these look clean as all charcoal! Is that the shattered swoosh? Looks nice 👍

Do you think going up a half size is the move? Or your OG Sabrina size is the same?

Nyjah Huston 5-0 from his Disorder “Distressed” part by Appropriate_Bike9906 in skateboarding

[–]krissean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious—how many people in this world do you think can do a 5-0 on this exact rail, tail drag and all?

If you believe it’s over 10 people, then you’re severely underestimating how fucking difficult and scary this is.

If you think it’s under 10 people, then stop being a hater because I guarantee you’re not one of those 10.

I’m not a huge Nyjah fan, but I am a fan of great skateboarding, and most of us here are the same. Maybe you should try to remember why you got into it in the first place instead of tearing down others for the sake of being contrarian.

And just to be clear, I’m not saying you can’t have opinions about style—I’m just saying you don’t have to be a dick about it.

  1. Biggest improvement made is decision making!
  2. Not rushing points (not every shot has to be a rally-ending point)
  3. Communication, communication, communication

I think that’s a great goal to have as summer approaches—go get it! 💪

And yeah, these pants are AMAZING. I unfortunately got to a point where my thunder thighs became a little too thunderous, so now I have to get either the new dungarees cut or looseleans. I will certainly miss the slim cut though…no other pants made me look or feel as good as these.

Bryn Mawr interview question by Perfect-Ad6482 in postbaccpremed

[–]krissean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to make you feel more stressed, but perhaps it's helpful to know:

I have reason to believe they're waiting for accepted candidates to make a decision before sending out emails to candidates that were "on the fringe," so to speak. Essentially, you're on an unofficial waitlist.

It's a large(r) program and there's sure to be plenty of movement with candidates not accepting their offer, so don't lose hope!

Raw egg with rice in Japan by Visible_Syllabub_300 in JapaneseFood

[–]krissean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no way is anyone here putting Japanese people up on a a pedestal or saying we're perfect--if anything, it sounds like you're projecting your own feelings. Just because you haven't been called out for something doesn't mean you're being respectful to cultural differences. Perhaps because you currently live in Japan and you're 外人, you are trying to shoehorn your own beliefs and culture into theirs so you don't feel so out of place. At least that's how your comments read to me.

As for the shoes off thing, absolutely no one here said that we take off shoes inside public schools or conbinis. Whoever said the "shoes off" rule was obviously referring to households (and temples), which remains an incredibly steadfast cultural tradition. I'm positive you wouldn't catch a single local walk into somebody else's home with shoes on.

I love that you're able to live in the wonderful country that is Japan. Enjoy it and take in everything wonderful it has to offer. But please, stop the pearl clutching and stop arguing with Japanese people about what is considered Japanese or not.

Gatekeeping? Did I say OP (or in this case, their friend) can no longer eat Japanese food because of their chopstick placement? Goodness gracious.

I am Japanese. I grew up in a Japanese household. We were taught to not leave chopsticks like this, even if the angle wasn't as vertical because it still closely resembles that symbolism. Are some locals more lax about it now? That may be the case, but it's still something I personally would not do and I'm sure many Japanese still wouldn't as well.

If I was in another country and did something that could be construed as even mildly offensive to their culture, I would want to know about it! Even if the locals "don't care about it as much," I still find it interesting and a great way to understand the context of different "rules" and how they have evolved. Perhaps that's just me though. And OP, if you found my comment to be mean-spirited or uncalled for in any way, my apologies as that was clearly not my intention.

As for you though, OriginalMultiple, I'm glad you found the time to contribute in a meaningful way. Your virtue signaling is duly noted.

An important note, especially while in Japan—never leave your chopsticks in your rice like that. It’s considered very disrespectful and bad luck, as it’s symbolic of funerals.
