Love their cherry juice, but i'm finding it difficult to imitate it exactly. Anyone know?

To treat matches as a series of transactions. The reason why it's so difficult for people to figure out their mistakes and where they went wrong is because they're not thinking and playing structurally. Oftentimes, how people play is kind of a wibbly wobbly ball of indecision chaotic movement rather than a straight line of intentions. For example, let's say you're in a 5v5 and your immediate instinct is to target the healer (even if it may be a poor decision), so your line of logic is

I see the healer -> find a way to kill the healer -> I somehow end up dying -> I blame my team.

When it should be like this:

I see Rehgar -> I'm going to apply damage to Diablo first to keep Rehgar occupied -> I'm going to bait Li Ming's attacks to put her abilities in cooldown -> the enemy team has popped their ults -> Rehgar is out of position -> I dive and die.

Notice how both led to death, but the second one is a series of decisions and trade-offs you can actually analyze productively. The first one involved you waffling back and forth with unproductive movements in skirmish instead of understanding what each movement is doing and how you can make them productive. Movement itself can be used to avoid damage and bait damage, but health itself is just a resource that you'll need to decide what to do with. There's no point in avoiding damage and staying alive if you're not getting anything out of it. In fact, you may be better off dead if it means baiting 3-4 ults out of the enemy team so your team can win the objective. Death too is merely a resource you can trade for a goal in mind.

Sometimes when I'm taking camps and the mercs are low on HP, I'll see 2-3 of my teammates rush over to help and they don't really understand what they're trading here: that's 10-15 seconds of travel time wasted for a camp I was going to cap myself. That 10-15 seconds of movement could have been put towards another lane to clear wave, extra siege damage on towers, or even setting up a 3v1 ambush on a lone jungler.

Your lines of transaction combat-to-combat should be straight, not wobbly. That way when you do lose matches, it's much easier to review what went wrong because those equations are cleaner: "I traded 20 seconds of camp instead of going to objective and that led to my team losing obj, which led to us losing a fort, which meant our team now had to trade additional time babysitting bottom lane from catapults, which meant less time for soaking and camps, which became a factor in why late game was so difficult for us."

There is no such thing as bad actions in the game, just bad transactions. Distracting and dying via a 1v5 can be smart if the tradeoff means your team caps boss and pushes core. Every action you do, even down to micro movements, should have consideration. Matches are really about resource trading.

So before capturing a camp, soaking a wave, joining your team for objective, think about what it costs you elsewhere. The cleaner you make your loss, the easier review and improvement becomes. Make defeat a series of intentions you put thought into each step of the way.

Edit: it might help to actually talk to yourself as you play and say out loud or at least mentally what you're doing. "I'm walking to this camp"/"I'm clearning bottom lane"/"I'm running away from the enemy team."
That way you're more conscious of your decisions and can better structure your line of thought as you play.

Instead of "How do I win this match," think "How do I lose perfectly?"

Improving means figuring out ways to make 'cooler' mistakes. Winning is ultimately just losing with style.

Day in day out, I see the same posts: "avoid the ghetto unless you want to be deactivated," "don't accept any fried chicken & watermelon orders" (hilariously aboveboard in the agenda there), "Poor people don't tip."

I'm in NYC and this is categorically untrue. Some of my nicest customers and some of the best tips I've gotten have been from low income/mixed income neighborhoods. Whereas the absolute worst customers I've had came from ultra-wealthy areas in Manhattan. They tend to want updates on their food every 60 seconds and I've been Karen'd/Kevin'd many times in those areas. The psychological damage the wealthy inflict on you with "Are you coming??????" during flash floods, hurricanes, and heavy snow leave you with trauma and the deepest hatred for humanity that is unrivaled by any other customer experience. They also tip miserably or not at all. Frequently I'll deliver a $200 grocery order or some expensive Best Buy purchase on top of a $2 tip or $0. They also have the worst delivery instructions too: "Don't make any sounds at all, my 12 dogs, five children, and marital spouse are all sleeping at 2 PM in the afternoon. Go through the 20 mile-long service entrance and wait 6 hours for the one slow-as-hell elevator to take up 50 other delivery dudes going on different floors."

Enough is enough. It's 2026, bad tippers/bad customers can come from any economic background.

Today, my Citi bike was stolen. I called 311, they told me to call 911. I called 911, they told me to call 911. I called 911 again and they laughed at me and said "Habibi, this is Mamdani's NYC. Police are forbidden," complete with clown horns, slide whistles, and shave and a haircut rendition I've never felt so humiliated in my life. If this is what I can expect from the current administration, I just might have to move back to Long Island.

NOTE: I was going to make another post after this one on r/NYCAsiansMeetups, but decided to kill two birds with one stone)

He was a bit careless at the beginning of the film and Biff ended up seeing a flying DeLorean in 1985. This alone is problematic, but it's also the main reason why Biff of the future recognized the same flying DeLorean, which prompted him to then follow and eavesdrop on Marty and Doc and learn about the time machine.

Had Doc been a bit more careful about the possibility of someone in 1985 seeing a flying car, future Biff would have just assumed it was another flying car and not paid much attention

This is just my own reasoning but every time I take a quest, I notice that there are significantly longer delays in-between getting orders. I've timed this out over 3 months and noticed the following:

1. When I take a quest in the same area (Manhattan) at the same time (lunch), delays between orders go up by an average of 62 seconds. Without a quest, I get orders almost back to back with around 5-8 seconds between offers.
2. When I take a quest, especially a high paying one, I am much more likely to be booted off much earlier than had I not. Without a quest, I can reserve a single slot and stay online for 8-12 hours. With a quest, I am almost always booted offline within 1-2 hours. I have tested this consistently and have accounted for holidays and variances within days of the week.

I need to do a few more months of testing and I'll publish the results eventually on a google spreadsheet

Trying to find where to buy hispi/pointed cabbage in these areas, preferably at a good price. Thanks!

Anyone know what that's about? Saw some law enforcement doing canvassing door to door in the area. Has this happened before?

Seriously… this goes without saying but in the heat of the moment some can forget, but if you see your friends thinking or about to take anything from a stranger, stop them.

Saw someone at knockdown center take something from someone in front of them and 30 seconds later they were on the ground. Apparently had to be revived at the hospital. It’s not worth it!

I've noticed a substantial increase in tips, but that could just be my area, as I'm in NYC. Has anyone else noticed improvement?
