  1. All equally satisfying outcomes.
  2. It's okay to admit that comedy just isn't the right's thing, man. The things that good comedy requires--wit, nuance, subtlety, intellect, timing, etc.--aren't your strong suit. Beating people over the head with bullshit and eye-rolling whataboutisms and "gotchas" is, clearly, more their speed. Not saying all the left-leaning stuff in this thread is gold--far from it--but, holy fuck, the right's hit rate is just embarrassing.
  3. And Trump's current approval rating isn't even as low as his low points from his first term. Somehow, more people thought that things were worse than they are now at certain points last time around...and we reelected him. Just staggering stupidity.
  4. Honestly, I'm a little surprised that they're not bumping Hadjar up this week. It would obviously be a huge longshot, but, with Ferrari imploding, he at least could theoretically qualify in the top 5ish and potentially factor into Red Bull's big picture strategy, rather than the complete afterthought that Yuki will be. With Oscar seeming like he regained his form, it's hard to imagine anyone in the field knocking a McLaren off the podium in a "normal" race weekend. Maybe Russell. Though, I suppose you could certainly argue that that current Racing Bulls car is faster than the Red Bull in the hands of mere mortals.
  5. I don't know what you're talking about. Knowingly choosing to give all the power to Donald Trump and a few behind-the scenes billionaires [could have sworn that used to be called a deep state...oh well] because we can't trust the government shows lots of brainpower and logical thinking. And it's really working out great.
  6. My god, those are all so fucking terrible and stupid. You're absolutely sure that someone didn't make those to mock MAGA dumb enough to repost them?
  7. "Your nagging injuries are costing us crucial games!"
  8. You can do that without sending him home from a road trip. Keep him on the team while you work out a mutually-agreed buyout, release, or trade. He's technically still a Clipper until they figure something out later. This was done spitefully. I'm guessing something went down.
  9. He's played in two conference finals and an NBA Finals.
  10. Interesting. So you've been hanging out outside the mouse's house, not the other way around.
  11. I've specifically mentioned James Harden multiple times. James Harden but good in the playoffs is one hell of a basketball player...doesn't make it any more enjoyable to watch.
  12. Your ready comprehension is just stellar. ...and Luka gets called a bitch all the time for his incessant ref whining, so what's your point? That SGA isn't the only bitch, just the biggest?
  13. I know you don't actually need this explained to you...again...but... There's a difference between feeling slight contact and embellishing or flopping... and non-basketball moves designed to initiate the contact, act like you got shot--sometimes even when the planned contact doesn't happen--and making no effort whatsoever to make a basket. You can't honestly tell me that SGA isn't guilty of the latter more than anyone in the league by a wide margin. So instead of appreciating him for bringing back the mid-range, this shit--that, unlike Harden, his game doesn't even need--is what people talk about.
  14. It would be quite befitting if, in Max's most mature, professional season, his one ridiculous temper tantrum is what ends up being the difference keeping him from his 5th championship.
  15. It's not the number of attempts. It's how they're being collected. Stop being obtuse.
  16. Lawson getting the last laugh on Yuki is pretty funny. Liam hasn't exactly been good, but he's at least shown some (borderline illegal) fight. No amount of Japanese sponsor money can change how invisible Yuki has been all year.
  17. So he and the coaches knew that he wasn't healthy enough to take a snap under center and concluded, "yep, going 100% shotgun with a banged up 42 year old outdoors after Thanksgiving still gives us the best chance to win." Pittsburgh and Tomlin deserve to be stuck in the purgatory of mediocrity together.
  18. "James Harden but good in the playoffs" is going to make for an interesting legacy. This shit is always going to be the first thing people think of, not how legitimately great he is. It still boggles the mind that the NBA hasn't done anything to combat something that's clearly harmful to the sport. Everyone embellishes and flops a little, that ship has sailed. But this shit where you're making absolutely no effort to make a basketball move or put the ball in the basket...it's embarrassing and bitch made.
  19. Ah man, she almost made the cutoff. Oh well.
  20. To be fair, if they hadn't switched positions earlier this season, Max would be 3 points closer to Lando, and a 3rd place finish next week probably wouldn't be enough. All the strategy talk...if McLaren just doesn't unnecessarily build their floors right on the limit, all of this is moot and they're celebrating tonight. If Max finds a way to steal this, McLaren may never live this down. Who knows if they'll be the dominant team next year with the new regulations. Vegas. Lando losing his front wing on Oscar's bumper 5 laps from the finish in Canada attempting a zero chance move. Oscar not having a single podium since August until today, including three self-inflicted crashes, one of which also took out Lando. Yeah, they've had poor strategy calls and awkward "fairness" positioning...but, moreso, they've made bone-headed major mistakes that have completely taken them out of races.
  21. 3rd or better wins it for Lando next week.
  22. Your ability to underachieve? Or your ability to underachieve but still moderately scare people in the playoffs?
  23. If Minnesota can't edge out Golden State and Phoenix for the 6 seed, they're not winning a playoff round anyway.
  24. Max starting on the inside lane behind both McLarens in what looks to be a slower car with nothing to lose into Turn 1. I'm sure it will be uneventful.
