    Watching a livestream, and there's a comment "God sent the floods"

    That's a dipshit thing to say, and yet I'm certain people said that for Superstorm Sandy and again when people drowned in their basement apartments due to a similar tropical remnant torrent in 2021 (Hurricane Ida).

    Supposing you were the sort of person to believe that natural disasters were a sign of God's wrath, what message would God be sending and to whom?

    I’m a lifelong Republican and Presbyterian.  Been to MoRanch (PCUSA property) on FM 1340 west of Hunt umpteen times.  The failures of Greg “It could have been worse” Abbott  and the rest of the state level Republicans, including dipshits Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton makes me fucking furious.  Maybe this is the catalyst to change these fucksticks out.

    You guys know there’s no salary caps right? There’s no budget? All this talk of “tying up money” in recruits is nonsense. We have almost unlimited money to spend and we should start acting like it. Do the Dodgers give a shit how much money they have tied up in Ohtani or Betts or Kershaw or anyone else? Do they let it stop them from signing more stars? No.

  4. Deandre Ayton is one of the worst #1 picks ever yet amazingly he isn't the worst pick in the 2018 draft. When people wonder why teams like Sacramento never seems to be able to compete, imagine Luka Doncic SGA and Jalen Brunson being available and you wind up with Marvin Bagley III.

    Neuromancer will run 10 episodes; it stars Callum Turner and follows “a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high-stakes crime with his partner Molly (played by Briana Middleton), a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets,” according to an Apple press release.

    The rest of the cast includes Joseph Lee, Mark Strong, Cleménce Poésy, Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Laird, Dane DeHaan, André De Shields, Max Irons, and Marc Menchaca. It’s created for TV by Graham Roland (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Dark Winds) and JD Dillard (Devotion, The Outsider, Sleight). Roland is the showrunner, Dillard is directing the pilot, and they’re both among the show’s executive producers.

    I'm not offended but holy shit do teams do stupid shit in the draft and make near sighted trades. The Warriors built a dynasty starting with drafting Steph Curry #7. Jokic was a second round pick for fucks sake. Giannis was pick #15. The Spurs had a generational talent "fall in their lap" at #15 as well (after they traded up to get him, I might add). 

    Every year people do dumb shit in the draft and then you look up and Paul Pierce is available at #10. Halliburton is available at #12. It goes on and on. There are more self-inflicted wounds that prevent rebuilds than there is this amazing degree of difficulty to build a contender. You know, don't mortgage your future picks for overpaid, old vets. Don't overpay your role players. Don't draft guys 10 slots ahead of where they should be drafted. 

    I just don't get the short term view that most franchises take. 

    Don't pay for Joe Smith under the table

    Don't take any offense to this but I dont think Spurs fans have any clue how painful a rebuild is if you dont have a generational talent fall into your laps 

    TWolves fans know all about painful builds...no offense

    There are layers of risk involved with allocating 1st round money on a player that will stay in Austin that much

    It is what it is at this point, but excluding wemby and Harper their draft acumen over the last 7 to 8 years doesn't exactly thrill me.  Lots of misses there. 

    Fingers crossed

    Huge misses with Derrick White, Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sochan and oh yeah rookie of the year Stephon Castle

    If he actually thinks that he is a retard. There is no more “boots on the ground” in warfare. That is done. They’re testing a fighter jet controlled by AI for fucksake. Warfare is just people shooting drones and missles at each other from now on. 

    well now we're doomed
