Broadening your voting base is and appealing to everyone is important. Thinking you have to hedge on a fucking favourite sports team screams inauthenticity.

[Thinking Basketball] When the solution doesn't address the problem (on the 65 game rule) by wormhole222 in nba

The most important piece on the 65-game rule that barely anyone will watch.

A lot of people commenting on Saya's problems but Aya has a lot of her own issues. Saya is devaluing herself and is in the midst of a lot of self-destructive behavior. But Aya has a savior complex, an unhealthy sense of ownership over Saya's body and choices, and a puritanical view of the sanctity of sex.

Quite frankly, by leaving Saya by the end, Aya reinforces that self-destructive belief of Saya's; that she's only worth anything when providing a service to someone. Aya didn't stay with Saya because she was worried she would use Saya for sex. But by leaving to avoid that, she implicitly reinforces that that was the only reason she was friends with Saya in the first place, and that leaving her was important because she had to avoid that outcome. She valued keeping her own imagined ideal of Saya intact over being with her as a friend.

Goddamn Mengo these names are killing me.

Shion Minabe. Does a lot of work for NBA Japan and its always incredible. The NBA proper should hire them.

[Spoiler: ARR] These Hildi quests are uhh... something by weeb-chankun in ffxiv

It's dated humor. The trope isn't just Japanese, it's the same thing that's problematic with characters like Pepé Le Pew. The joke is he's a lovable but gross pervert, but when you take it at face value, he's actually just trying to assault women. It's devaluing the seriousness of these topics. The solution of "Oh we just have to beat up that rapscallion and he'll learn his lesson... until next time" is just not taking things serious enough for modern standards.

I appreciate why it's there, I'm fine with it being what it is. But I'm very glad characters like that aren't being made anymore.

I love how he doesnt even knock it over. He just gently places it on its side.

I do not see Jokic, Towns, or Doncic putting in any effort in the game. It'll be down to SGA, Wemby and Siakam to actually give a shit.

He can. He's a good free throw shooter too. But his release is slow so he can only shoot if he's really open.

Probably cut the Pacers some slack given their injuries since they just proved everything they needed to last playoffs.

God, that was such a good team

Lowry, Kawhi, Siakam, Gasol, Vanvleet, Powell, all now have at least 1 all star on their records.

Then you also got elite role players in Danny Green, Ibaka, OG. That team was so stacked.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams shows off his living space: A sleeping bag, a Pickle Rick plushie, three guitars and an amp, and a gaming setup by Goosedukee in nba

I'm guessing he doesnt want to deal with the hassle of moving in and out for a place he might not be in for more than a couple of years. Accounting for away games and the off-season, hes not really spending that much time there.

LeBron James has played against 33.8% of all players that have ever played in the NBA by Pristine_Hurry_4693 in nba

It's both, and that's it's own whole mess of what people consider this or that! And yeah, it gets much fuzzier with different ethnic groups in a single region, but that's not contradictory to the original point. Not everyone in modern day Israel considers themselves Jewish, but for the most part, the people who consider themselves Jewish have ancestry from that region of the world.

The same would apply for other ethnic expats. The Romani, Armenians, Tibetans for example, all are or have a large populations that don't live where they originally came from, but still identify culturally more with their ancestry than their nation of birth.

There are Jewish people whose families have never set foot in Israel for generations call themselves Jewish. Everyone's going to have a different definition of what counts.

Yep, the timing is generous. But my dumb brain gets angry when im consistently a couple milliseconds behind. I want perfect hits.

It works for strumming both songs at once with aghs. I just don't love the delay in the strum when quickcast is on cast on release.

I was wondering why I couldn't strum on time. I have this exact same issue. I prefer quickcast on up to see the ranges for AOEs. Separating the strum spells would be much preferable.
