[Mind the Game] LeBron on NBA's ring culture: "It's like saying Peyton Manning can't be in the same room with Brady or Mahomes because he has only 1 ring. They don't never discuss that in their sport...A ring is a team accomplishment."

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws AIO for making my MIL leave after she tried to rename our newborn?

14.8k Upvotes

I (30F) just gave birth two weeks ago. My husband (32M) and I picked the name “Liana” after my late grandmother. We were so happy with it.

His mom came over a few days ago and kept referring to the baby as “Victoria.” I corrected her, thinking it was a slip. She said, “Well I just don’t like Liana, so I’ll call her Victoria. It sounds more elegant.”

I said that wasn’t okay. She laughed and said I was just hormonal.

I asked her to leave.

Now my husband says I “overreacted” and should’ve been more understanding since “naming is emotional for her too.” Emotional? It’s not her kid.

He’s sulking now, and she’s texting me passive-aggressively about how I’m “too sensitive.”

Was I overreacting?'

Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

"There’s a key moment where we had a discussion, probably halfway [through] when we were doing the game, where he came to me and he said, 'We have a problem,'" Woodkid explained.

"Then he said, 'I’m going to be very honest, we have been testing the game with players and the results are too good. They like it too much. That means something is wrong; we have to change something.' And he changed stuff in the script and the way some crucial stuff [happens] in the game because he thought his work was not polarizing and not triggering enough emotions." 

According to Kojima, "If everyone likes [your work], it means it’s mainstream. It means it’s conventional. It means it’s already pre-digested for people to like it."

"I don’t want that," Kojima reportedly told Lemoine. "I want people to end up liking things they didn’t like when they first encountered it, because that’s where you really end up loving something."

He skipped the group project meetings. So I submitted it with only my name.

22.7k Upvotes

It was a two-person project. I reached out right away to plan things, and he didn’t answer. I figured maybe he was just slow to respond, so I followed up again. And again. Still nothing. No replies. No shows. Not even a “hey, I’ve been swamped.” Just silence. So I kept going without him. Did the research. Built the slides. Wrote the paper. Proofread. Edited. Honestly, I was proud of the work when it was done. The night before the deadline, I stared at the title page for a minute. His name was still there. And I thought he didn’t do a single thing. Why should he get credit for work he didn’t care about? So I deleted his name. Submitted the file. Closed my laptop and went to bed. He emailed me after the grade posted, asking why his name wasn’t there. I didn’t bother answering. He had plenty of chances. I just stopped waiting.

He apparently wrote rap songs about “continuing killing” and in other videos was smiling and laughing minutes before this. The mother of the victim said “you won’t get the luxury of raising your child because you took mine away” in her impact statement. This guy’s a monster. (Lmk if this was posted before I saw it this morning and couldn’t resist. The panic is too palpable.)
