Narrator: No one ever asked for it or is using it already.
Playing it as a bounce pass, with the ball moving up when received allows some of the inertial energy that is bouncing up rather than just laterally to be used by the receiving player to take it up for the layup or dunk rather than have to corral that portion of the lateral energy in and still finish. Basically it’s the best way to move the ball as quickly to get it to that spot before defender notices and potentially intercepts it. Being a bounce pass also lowers the chance of control being lost as the lateral force is too great to handle quickly while also recipient is at speed.
Complex reasons why it was the perfect pass; doncic didn’t think about it, at this level it’s just intuitive that a chest pass is less ideal for a recipient on this cut. You see le ron make chest passes like this while misdirecting his eyes but those are often when the recipient is already on the block or more open.
How players pass in sports is often one of the best indicators of their skill: it can show not only awareness of the passer but when it’s perfect for the recipient it shows complete empathy and understanding of the recipient’s situation and takes it into account. E.g. in soccer, when an offensive player checks back/shows for the ball they often have their back to a defender coming at them; the passer however can often see the coming defender, and if there is a high level of trust and competency between passer and recipient, the passer will tell the recipient which way to turn their body when they receive the pass to avoid the defender’s tackle–simply by which foot/side of the body of the recipient the passer puts the ball on. There is not time for much verbal exchange and is all on trustz timing and feel, the advantage gained can be enormous for the attacking team and can lead to easily spinning around a defender for the pass recipient when executed–or a trip to the hospital if you’re an amateur. Passing matters.
Corporate media will be ever more obsequious to get access. Military presence for “safety” in certain cities labeled “dangerous” which all happen to be progressive. Then the self-censorship starts. Then people stop being able speak freely, let alone thinking a rule of law exists. Then it’s “underground” to have an honest conversation about politics. We’ll be in Putin’s Russia level of legal system and political speech within a few years.
Making friends mostly at work anywhere causes issues of selection bias, but it doesn’t matter if it’s work, school, church, your local pub, whatever. Balance in most things, as usual.
The 🧅 will be the torch of liberty and sanity in the dark days ahead, even more than it already has been.

No, no, look over here at this astroturf, see how GREEN it is? Progress is awesome.
You and your son are the problem, everyone knows the free market will fix all inefficiencies, such as almost every global center lacking affordable housing because developers only want to build high margin homes. The free market just works or something.
The problem could be easily solved by you and your son just becoming wealthy, either that or decades of planning and government initiatives to mandate minimum supply and affordability if not outright building by governments–but how much work would that be !?! Probably easiest just to pretend it’s complex market forces and not greed.
The only consolation is that he probably can’t get the (mostly lovely) sounds out of his head either.
For my child to participate in elementary school, and not be left out of comouter-based learning, I have to approve of her using a chromebook which is doing exactly what I’m sure we can all imagine with future marketable data sources: building profiles.
“…and when they were 7 they liked…” “Try the color red, they used to prefer than, might be a good nostalgic pitch…”
Oh UI improvement from Google? Yeah they’ll get right on that.
“Two small pair…8s and 8s” is still a staple at family card games.
You just need to buy the North America Animal Recognition AI subscription and this wouldn’t be an issue plebs, it will stop for 28 out of 139 mammals!
“Action? Yeah…they got 4 new detectives working on the case…they got us working in shifts! Action, ha.”
Would love to see the allocation of resources in the stupid company toward crime prevention vs. developing new methods of enshittification to harvest user data
Literally the line, from the guy, in the movie. It spawned a sequel you may have heard of that then played it up as it was such a perfectly ominous line.
The original is where he delivers the line and then crashes through the police station fam.
You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.
