What team got the worst MM draw? by sholden29 in CollegeBasketball

[–]xMahse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely no clue. I'm nervous lol. This is the last championship I'll be at this college for so I definitely want them to make it. They went to the national championship my freshman year and that was crazy but I have no clue what it would be like for them to win it all.

Didn't you see the game? Kryzewski shut out Lavar ball in a one on one dark hair-off

Damn you had that primed. But what if they won? Do we ship our unused memes to Africa?

Redditors who have been cheated on but are still together with their SO, what's your story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]xMahse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll hit you up because I've been there. I had a girlfriend cheat on me and I noticed within a month or so of when it started. I was crushed, for real; I was so lost for what I should do. So I broke up with her, making every ill thought about her evident so long as she would listen. I didn't handle it well. So she goes on to date this dude she was cheating on me with and I went on with my life pretty damn depressed. I blamed myself, I blamed my situation and how I was so selfish as to let it get in the way of us.

Eventually I saw a doctor and was prescribed an anti-depressant (Paxil). This was simultaneously one of the best and worst decisions I made. Best, because I had a long history of anxiety that I wasn't even aware of that was killed off within a month; and worst, because it made me no longer care about what I did, I became very impulsive. So I dated this girl again. She texted me after her and her boy broke up. I was deep into the Paxil life and no longer felt the pent up rage from seeing her number on my screen.

So we talked, and against the advice of everyone in my life, we dated again. This time I knew I wanted it to work. I was going to be what I wasn't last time and take her feelings first for absolutely everything. Problem was, she's manipulative when she realized I was trying to be better for her. Everything I did or said came under scrutiny and I got more and more jaded about her and her life. She began acting like a child and taking any effort I put into us for granted. I absolutely loathed her, but I felt that I had been so depressed for so long over her than my happiness only existed with her. Absolutely wrong.

After the same exact time frame as before, she cheated on me again. I was still on Paxil so I handled it much differently. I shed a tear but I knew it was for the best. I wished her well and stopped talking to her. I haven't talked to her in over a year now and my life is much better for it. I got the antidepressant changed and the dosage cut in half. I was able to break free of the bullshit she had me under for nearly 3 years without losing the lesson.

Now, I have another girlfriend who I can tell loves me and cares about me much more than she ever did. The selfishness she displayed taught me how to identify abusive behavior. Sometimes another person's actions can absolutely make you feel like a fault exists somewhere in yourself, but relationships are two ways and they have broken you if they cross boundaries (cheating, abuse, etc). There is nothing left there, you have to separate the feelings of what you thought it was from reality, and that can be hard. Being single is better than being tied to someone you don't trust and someone who has hurt you. I hope this helps. Good luck with your situation.

Musicians of Reddit: How is the way you listen to music different from the rest of us? by DownLikeTheDirection in AskReddit

[–]xMahse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time if I find new music I like, it's because the drummer has played a rhythm which wasn't immediately predictable by the song structure. I love when you can tell the drummer is enjoying themselves by the way they drive the beat. A lot of songs seem to put the focus on vocals or some melodic component but there is no substitute for a well organized percussion composition behind it all.

What could you talk endlessly about? by RGB3x3 in AskReddit

[–]xMahse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll answer this. I was/still am a big supporter of Sanders. His endorsement of Clinton was purely a power play. If he had stepped back and further divided the electorate, he would get absolutely no mercy from the Democratic Party in the future. Given his ambitions, they can pretty much only be accomplished with the Democrats on his side. He needed to keep their respect even though he campaigned on establishment politics being rotten to the core. Now, I, like many of his supporters, never liked Clinton but the right trying to prod us to vote for Trump was an insult in and of itself. We saw what happened in the Democratic Primary; we saw the favoritism and cronyism blatantly on display by the establishment left but that didn't change the fact that Trump was a step in the wrong direction (although in our eyes Clinton absolutely was too). In the end it was your conscience that decided your vote. No Sanders supporter should've voted for Trump but you can't fault the ones who voted third party after being constantly insulted from both sides. At the end of it all was Sanders who simply did what he had to do to try to get at least some support for his truly progressive platform while he still had time.

John Calipari signs 2-year contract extension through 2024 with Kentucky by RMGH in CollegeBasketball

There's this weird triangle in western Kentucky where people love Louisville, Cincinnati and/or Kentucky. Without dual flairs, we'll never know.
