The Wedding Singer. Even if you don’t like Adam Sandler’s usual schtick, he plays this completely straight and is really endearing. Great 80s soundtrack and Sandler and Barrymore are adorable and funny.

Yeah never be stoned when navigating a hookup, absolutely rookie mistake.
Once you’ve hooked up for the first time then you can get wasted as you like, stoned sex is the fuckin’ best.

- Comment on De’Aaron Fox traded to the Spurs, Zach LaVine to Kings in multi-team deal: Source 2 months ago:
I initially thought that was more than I hoped we’d have to pay, but all of those firsts we sent out are low value (except maybe MIN’s but it’s so far into the future who cares atm). They’re all heavily protected or pretty much guaranteed to be down in the draft.
And most importantly we didn’t give up any key players, I was sure we’d have to include Castle or Vassell in the trade.
I like it, can’t wait to see what the team looks like with Fox.
- Comment on Thoughts on the potential Fox trade? 2 months ago:
The point will be to surround him with a wealth of quality wings
This is obviously the trick though, the entire league is trying to do the same thing. Sometimes you have to work with what you can get.
- Comment on Thoughts on the potential Fox trade? 2 months ago:
I think he’s a good enough fit and the Spurs want to do something to push things forward, to keep Wemby happy. Just having another player out there with real gravity will transform Wemby’s opportunities and get him some experience operating with an elite PG. I’d expect a decent increase in their win rate with Fox.
They don’t want to pay too much for him but with Fox saying that he is focused on joining SAS they should get a good deal for him.
Spurs are still at least 3 or 4 seasons away from contention, Fox fits into that timeline fine; they can move off him or extend him depending on how he works out. In the meantime he makes the team considerably better and gets Wemby some more Ws to keep him positive.

- Comment on Where is the line between meeting somebody halfway and being a doormat with no personality? 3 months ago:
There’s a line running through the middle of this; on one side you’re strongly independent and on the other side you’re an asshole. I’ve veered back and forward across this line for most of my life (in my late 40s now). There’s no hard and fast rules around which side of the line you’re on in any given situation, every circumstance is different and needs to be assessed on its own merits.
If meeting somebody halfway means doing something I don’t want to do, I don’t want a relationship with this person.
Having this as a hard rule that you always stick to, will frequently put you on the asshole side of the line. Sometimes its nice to do something for someone, even if you don’t particularly enjoy it, just because it’ll make them happy. If you care a lot about them, making them happy is enjoyable (well, it should be!) even if the specific activity isn’t. As I said, you assess each situation on its own merits. Figuring out how much you’re willing to compromise on stuff like this, and for whom, is just something you’ll need to work on over time. If it’s something that you don’t particularly want to do but it’ll make your partner really happy, why wouldn’t you want to give them that?
Communication is key. You need to be able to explain to the person why you make these decisions, but also be able to listen to them about how they feel about it, and find some understanding on both sides.
If a person I’m dating feels entitled to try to change me, I don’t see how a relationship would work
Going from being by yourself to being in a relationship will always require changes. If the way you think in a relationship doesn’t change to include the other person, then you’re not really in a relationship you’re just hanging out. People shouldn’t try to force changes on people against their will, but you should be accepting that you will need to make some changes, just because it is a fundamentally changed situation from being on your own.
It does sound to me like you have some reflexive responses that are a reaction to your upbringing, that I suspect will make it difficult for you to communicate and negotiate through a relationship in these ways. Some kind of therapy can potentially help you work through some of this, but also being self aware (which you seem to have some amount of) and learning through experience should be able to mature these aspects of your personality over time, as long as you make the effort to self-assess and try and be as objective as possible in those assessments.

Is this really all you took away from this article? It doesn’t even explicitly come down on the side of “Warhammer is fascist”, it’s a nuanced look at how the presentation and consumption of the product has evolved over time.

- Comment on Offseason - San Antonio Spurs 1 year ago:
Yeah the narrative is that Spurs need to rush to put a winning team around Wemby but I think that’s an overreaction, and SAS is the organisation that you know is going to stick to the plan. It’s frustrating that this draft is so weak, but if there’s any hidden gold in there SAS have a great record of finding it.
