The dude had no reason to do that bullshite. But it’s pretty obvious why you people are defending it. A simple bounce pass would suffice. No reason to throw a pass like that to a woman. Like I said unless the dude has never played the sport before would be the only reason I would excuse that.
You know what’s funny and sad at the same time?
You probably believe you’re being a supportive ally of women in general but in reality, you’re being patronizing.
She has played this sport, dude. Likely at a higher level of proficiency than you or I ever did. Many refs have, so yes, I’d expect anyone who’s job it is to be on an NBA court during live play to not get harmed by a basketball thrown his or her way.

I want you morons to go in your back yard with your wives and try to throw the ball at that speed to her at that distance and report back to me how it turns out.
My wife would not have caught it, but she would have definitely deflected it. Because she’s not a flimsy small child and the ball wasn’t a missile.
So I would definitely expect an NBA referee to be able to handle that kind of a pass and not be harmed by it. Kinda like how this lady was not harmed.

When you board, ask the flight attendants for the “ Arthur Lundeen special”. It helped calm him down.

Yea he throws a chest pass like he’s trying to hit someone on a break at a ref who is in the middle of signaling a call and then looks around like what
I think two things can be true here.
Yes, he probably should have made sure she was looking before he zipped it over to her.
And, this is a ridiculous overreaction. He obviously wasn’t trying to beam the ball at her. Maybe we just talk about it instead of tossing the guy? Give him a chance to explain that he got a little excited and didn’t mean any harm?
Oh right, can’t do that. We have to assume the worst about everyone, punish accordingly, and ask questions later. If at all.

My last boss used to remind everyone in sept Oct to use your sick days because they were reset at end of year.
I’ve been with the same company for 15 years and every boss I’ve had has told me this. They’re good people who didn’t want me to flush my time off down the toilet, and they know I suck at allocating my PTO for the year. :lol:
Those are the people I’m loyal to. I’ve seen “the company” do too many shitty things to decent people for me to ever be a company man. There was a time early in my career where I probably could have easily become one with even a tiny amount of humanity, but my first company was a cold, sterile, revenue sweat shop that only a sociopath could love.

re: Attention single/unmarried OTers, woman is taking "husband applications"

The standards she listed were reasonable.
I wonder what the catch is.
Her requests aren’t crazy, but read between the lines.
1) Her whole thing about “not wanting to take care of someone else” indicates that she has a low opinion of men in general. You’d definitely be marrying a woman that always thinks she’s better than you no matter what you do.
2) I’m “hiring” a husband and “we have to keep finances separate” sounds like she wants to keep you at a distance and will for sure have one foot out the door while she constantly evaluates other options.
3)Dressing up like a half-naked cowgirl screams attention whoring insta-ho.
Good luck with all that.
re: Why do people use rankings at the time a game was played vs current/final season ranking?

If it’s the current season, teams current ranking should be used.
So if I upset the #1 team in the country, I have to say I beat the #5 team the next day after the polls are released?
If you like both teams, you like both teams.
Cheer for both and make a choice when they play. No different than if you had kids that played on opposing teams.
Full disclosure, I don’t take sports fandom nearly as seriously as the average poster likely does.

Nothing, NOT ONE thing about sports is missed if guys dont repell down ropes and die before the game
If this guy has a tactical job in the military, they have to repell down ropes. This is no different than a training accident.
It’s the same with flyovers. If a jet crashes, you can say they shouldn’t do them, but all they’re doing is practicing formation flying and time-over-target. The risk are the same and the outcomes (operational experience and training) are the same.

I mean…if you’re part of a faith tradition (or any tradition for that matter) that has a precise definition of marriage, then it would make sense for the vows to have an equal level of precision.
Not sure it matters since as others have put it, they’re probably not Catholic, and I’m not either. Just pointing out that there’s a practical reason for having specific vows for some people.

I’m in favor for the sake of transparency.
I personally have no interest in seeing a person get executed, but it’s more unsettling to me that the state executes people behind closed doors. Maybe that’s weird but I’ve always felt that way.
I don’t necessarily think it should be on broadcast TV (maybe a livestream or something) but anyone in the country should be able to witness it if they choose.

re: Wife Attending Private Therapy a Breach of Trust?
Posted by Dadren on 10/9/26 at 6:26 am to Saint Alfonzo
quote:
In the history of matrimony, has there ever been a single instance of a marriage improving after the wife goes to therapy?
Ours did. :dunno:
The problem “with” therapy is that people either go too late (specifically with marriage counseling), go without an objective in mind, or go in thinking that the therapist is going to do magical telepathic Jedi mind surgery and fix them.
It’s a lot like physical therapy. You’re going to get out of it what you put into it. Your therapist is really just there to shepherd you along. People go in and lie, clam up, refuse to “do their homework” or follow basic rules of engagement and leave wondering why therapy doesn’t “work”.
quote:
If your wife wants to go to therapy for an hour each weak instead of talking to her husband about it a breach of trust in the marriage? Would you consider this a betrayal of your marriage vows?
No.
The fact that you’re asking this question in this way is giving me a good hint on exactly what she’s going to counseling for, though.
imasculate her back. That’ll learn her.

Women already find it creepy enough when random men compliment their bodily appearance, but doing it in such a descriptive way is serial killer vibes. Next time just say you like her sweater.
This really should be common knowledge.
If she really is obviously and uncommonly pretty, she’s hearing that 20 times a day from horny and creepy dudes. Best case is your “compliment” is just background noise. Likely you’ll simply get a reaction like the OP did.
Compliment things she has done instead, like a nicely-chosen piece of clothing, or how she does her hair. Bonus points for combos like how jewelry matches/accents something else.
Stay away from body parts. And obviously, FFS, don’t just be like “someone should pay you for being purdy hur hur”. Might as well follow up with handing her a coupon for three free months of onlyfans hosting.
