Actually, I think this issue is really interesting. The thing is, throwing the ball underhand is not useful for any other aspect of the game. So if you train free throws underhand, all that training time is being spent solely making you better at free throws. But if you shoot them overhand the same way you shoot from anywhere, then all your free throw practice is also making you better at shooting in general.

I think if basketball players were immortal, they would all eventually shift to underhand free throws, but because they're humans with limited amounts of time to exist, it simply makes more sense to always shoot overhand.

Idk, I just find calling yourself "agnostic" to be silly and inherently cowardly. It's like you're afraid of annoying incorrect people by being correct so you just pretend not to be correct instead.

Are you "agnostic" on the topic of unicorns, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the flying spaghetti monster, and Russel's Teapot? No? You're comfortable saying those things don't exist? Then the only reason you're not comfortable saying God doesn't exist is because you're concerned about how people who think God does exist will react to that statement. I find that cowardly.

I was curious about why honey is considered non-vegan

While it's good to look deeper and understand the actual harm involved, this is an easy question to answer. Bees are animals, the honey is made by bees, therefore it isn't vegan.

Isn't it better to just boil it longer?

It's just liberal Great Man theory. The equalists weren't a movement, they were the followers of one guy. And everybody knows leftist Great Men are grifters who don't actually believe what they're saying, so as soon as he was shown for what he was, all his followers woke up from their communist brainwashing and went home.

Some guy in the US and some unspecified guy of unknown age or location both claimed completely contradictory things, therefore the idea that neither of those things happened is false. Checkmate tankies!

Are you really that fucking stupid?

I still subscribe the the theory that she fucking hated him for reasons we'll probably never know. Was he a nightmare to interact with on a personal level? Likely. Did he refuse to wipe his ass after shitting? Who's to say? Either way there's gotta be some reason she didn't even pretend to be sad that her husband was publicly murdered in cold blood.

Kidnapping a foreign head of state to charge him for violating the laws of a country he wasn't in and isn't a citizen of and has no real relationship with is so far beyond any pretense of reasonableness that I'm still kind of reeling. Every time I think I have a handle on how ridiculous and inept the current US government is they find a new way to dig deeper into the pit of fascism

If they run Kamala again they deserve 3000 years of Trump

I honestly think there's nobody left in the US government who knows shit about fuck. The whole place has been gutted, every single role to given to friends. All the actually effective ghouls get fired for trying to tell Trump or his nepo babies how fucking dumb every single thing they want to do is.

Fascists doing fascist things. Somehow there are still people who support them

The incredible thing is that this is literally what America looks like. I think most people who haven't been to America probably imagine this is kind of a joke, like 99% of America can't possibly look like this. But it does. I could walk from my current position for around 5 minutes and take a picture that looks exactly like this.
