@thenomain I think you missed the joke. Here. Let me explain.

I just compared Sam Haight to AIDS.

@arkandel I just read an article where they compared James and GSW to Chamberlain and Bill Russell/Celtics.

Russell's comment is pretty on the nose for my point of view.

“We talked about it one time,” Russell said of the lone conversation he had with Chamberlain about the difference in their careers. “[Wilt] said that [Russell having better teammates] was not true. Simply because his teammates had to feed him and I fed my teammates.”

But on a more serious note (not the trolling comment I just made), Lebron picked his team. His teammates. His GM. His coach. He ran the entire team himself... he is to blame for the failure. You don't get to say 'But his teammates were bad!' when the man literally picked who came to the team and their contracts. Lebron made his bed.

I won't argue that he isn't the most physically gifted player in NBA history. But he's not the best player. Not by a long shot.

Those rings LeBron is collecting are stacking up. Winning!

I'd argue that LeBron is not the better player. He has zero court leadership. Zero lockerroom leadership.

Just because he's better at the physical part of basketball doesn't mean he's the better player. There's a whole mental/social aspect as well.

@RizBunz It's been enough time. AIDS is funny and so is Sam Haight.

@bobotron A parody game? One where trenchcoats and katana are the norm. Apocalypse babies. Magic toe rings. An incoherent metaplot. Random deaths. Samuel Haight. By parody I mean a game where we play oWoD but don't take it seriously. Not 'deliberate cartoon zaniness' but a bit campy and tongue in cheek, sure.

I would enjoy seeing a new 'parody' oWoD game where craziness is the norm.

@surreality I work with a guy who seems vaguely incel. It really creeps me out and worries me.

@coin I was using hyperbole, but the fact that you react so negatively to it is a little troubling. I thought you'd be amused, not fly straight into 'OMG GODWIN's LAW!' You should take a step back and cool down.

But that's just my opinion, so you probably didn't read it anyways. You know. Because you don't listen to the opinions of others.

Disregarding the opinions of others is a very enlightened and forward thinking way to live your life, Mr. President.

MAGA.

I liked the music direction of Season 2 about as much as Season 1. In Season 1, we were watching the story of Luke Cage. We were in his head where his music was playing.

In season 2, we were watching the story of Harlem. Two sides of a war that was playing out. So we saw the story from their perspective with bits of the hip hop from Luke Cage who was thrown into the mix.

It was a lot more subtle, but if you look at the scenes and story focuses, the music tended to match whichever side was 'acting' at that point, almost like the music styles themselves were battling.

I don't know. Maybe I read too much into it, but that's the vibe I got while watching.

@jibberthehut People are always going to be upset about anything they don't get for free, and if they get it for free they'll wonder why you aren't paying them for the pleasure of working for them.

It sucks, but you have to walk a very fine line between obeisance and self respect as a small business owner.

If I were in your place I'd tell them I was going to be closed for facility maintenance and improvements. If you mention a vacation at all they're going to screech.

Trump will nominate Political Wunderkind Jared Kushner for the position.

Well if you don't like questions about your pregnancy I hear a woman's body has a way of shutting that whole thing down anyways.

And if they move, Austin is going to get pretty much nothing for it.

It's a bad move. A lot of people in Austin -do not want- the team to move here. The ones who do, well. It's the rich white folks.

Regarding the stadium: Professional Soccer. You know. That sport that Americans don't care about.

Regarding charity and bringing people into your home: I love doing that and I will continue to do it regardless of the negative outcome to me because sometimes it actually helps people.

I have a roommate now, but if she agrees to it I'd love to let someone stay in our living room until they get themselves settled in Austin.

So, there is a big push in Austin to build a giant fuckall stadium and a professional soccer team. Soccer. Everyone for it goes on and on about how stadiums help the local economy and how they bring in tourism and raise property values and blahblahblah. How this stadium will make people want to 'visit Austin'.

The stadium is soccer. How many Americans travel to soccer away games? (Hint: Not enough for a meaningful boost to Austin tourism.)

Austin is already the biggest tourism destination in Texas. If you're gonna visit a city in Texas for the sake of visiting a city in Texas, you go to Austin. A stadium won't change that.

What -really- pisses me off. Really, really pisses me off is that one of the other options for the plot of land (land the city owns and wants to -give- to the stadium folks) is low income housing. They could literally use this land to help keep people from becoming homeless, or even possibly uplift some of the homeless we have.

Homeless who, amusingly enough (not amusing at all.) drive down tourism by congregating in downtown Austin.

This whole thing reeks of kickbacks and corruption and idiots who want a shiny toy rather than the sensible solution to help the city.

The kicker is that in this so-called liberal town, people are more concerned with their property values than actually doing the right thing that would also help the city in the process.

@jibberthehut I wouldn't tack on the late fee unless she does it again. Doing so, while feeling good perhaps, would just escalate the situation.

@Auspice Freedom is great and everything, but I hate to eat out by myself. Don't go getting a car -too- soon.
