  1. Exactly how do you figure? I mean, Naz Reid had himself a gem, but Ant sucked in the second half. Game 1 we dominated them in the paint and boards.
  2. He hates Rudy (FIBA and Olympics beef stemming from France / Slovenia)
  3. I mean, besides the fact I was being sarcastic, it’s funny to me that all these menial positions (e.g. housekeepers, truck drivers, gas station managers) that need humans are so attractive versus, say, a social media marketing associate or business analyst making $80k a year.
  4. How does that saying go? Every......something..... Oh I remember: Every accusation is a confession.
  5. I'm not cool with that and am not supporting it politically with my vote or any money in the Year of our Lord 2024. Thank u, next
  6. Stupid people impact elections/society, is more the point.
  7. You'll get nowhere with a contingent on here in CR-- they have literally argued that Trump is comparable to Hitler because, even though he hasn't killed 7 million people, he has the potential to... possibly if you squint and turn your head and then jump up and down and then if lightning strikes the same place twice, he could possibly one day do the same thing as Hitler. So, in their mind, it's an apt comparison and not hyperbolic mental illness.
  8. This is just a good old fashioned Brisket Friday Afternoon before a 3 day weekend. He's wrapped up his workday by noon and has been working himself up since to where he's positively frothing by mid afternoon and that's even before his first alcoholic drink.
  9. You’d need to be an Olympic long jumper to bridge the gap between how well the public thinks the economy is doing and how well the economy is actually doing, according to a new Harris poll published yesterday by the Guardian. Among the 2,000+ participants in the survey: 56% think the US is currently experiencing a recession, and 55% believe the economy is shrinking. (GDP—a key measure of economic activity—is growing.) 72% believe inflation is going up. (It’s more than halved from a 2022 peak of 9.1% and is hovering between 3% and 4%.) 49% think the current unemployment rate is at a 50-year high. (It’s near a 50-year low.) 49% believe the S&P 500 is on the decline. (It’s risen more than 12% this year, and Wall Street is raising its expectations for the index’s year-end performance. The Dow also just made record gains.) Why is reality missing so many Americans? Even though inflation is finally easing, the average cost of groceries, housing, and other consumer needs has soared over the past few years. About two-thirds of the Harris poll respondents agreed that “it’s difficult to be happy about positive economic news when I feel financially squeezed each month.” ... Media coverage likely also shares the blame. Recent studies show that news coverage is becoming increasingly negative, especially regarding gas prices, a common harbinger of economic panic. Here’s why that’s bad news for Joe Biden. 58% of the poll’s participants blame the current administration for what they see as a worsening economy. Convincing them otherwise will be a challenge, especially since more than 60% of people surveyed said they’re skeptical of economic news. Oh, here is the link: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/22/poll-economy-recession-biden
  10. He's a little smart about some things-- the things that he's historically worked on and made him money-- and he bloviates opinions on most everything else. So he's you (and me, and everyone else on this website), just with billions of dollars. Which I guess is why we get to punch up at him and call him stupid and we have the luxury of being poor nobodies that makes us think we are pretty nifty and clever in an "I could do that" kind of way. Imagine if you ever got famous or rich and become a somebody and people went through your tweets or posts here. Based on those (e.g. opinions and reactions and emotions about most things you are so amatuer in that nobody would think to pay you in those realms) think you were one of the biggest idiots in the world. "Probably a good or decent lawyer though, but man, what a dummy!" they'd say.
  11. Didn't we have a guy on this site who was telling us how he almost got fired for failing the phishing links stuff?
  12. Oh, look who all of sudden is so well-versed on things he's mocking the vernacular as dated and isn't acting ignorant!
  13. Amen to that! Elon Musk. Exhibit Eleventy Billion. But people without it will still idolize it and fantasize that tons of money will solve their problems. But also, people mad at and/or disdainful of Elon Musk aren't wrong. But to claim he's stupid seems...well, stupid. He might not be the smartest guy or even half as smart as he thinks he is, but he's not the average room temperature intelligence and IQ that walk our streets despite Brisket's claims.
  14. Is the phrase "dumb money"? But agreed, equating the two is stupid. But for all the faults of Elon, of which there are too many to enumerate despite 383 pages worth of attempts, it's funny to hear middle aged financial washouts like you/me/us talk about how stupid he is. There's a saying in the mean streets: "It's always the broke [jokers] tryna tell you how to get a dollar"
  15. Atlanta "Atlanta"? Or like Alpharetta, "Atlanta"?
  16. In Elon Musk news: His A.I. start-up, xAI, has secured funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia and Tribe; and SpaceX is reportedly considering a tender offer that would value the company at roughly $200 billion, up from $180 billion in December. (FT, Bloomberg) Thing$ are $till not going well for that big ole dummy with the brains of a 12 year old, ammirite @Brisketexan!
  17. Big whoop: AI can now understand sarcasm better than some people. Researchers in the Netherlands have created AI tech capable of detecting sarcasm. Trained on sitcoms like “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory,” the AI was able to accurately identify instances of sarcasm ~75% of the time — meaning robots are getting closer to understanding complex human communication as well as we can, and that Captchas are probably about to get even harder. Great. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/may/16/researchers-build-ai-driven-sarcasm-detector
  18. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/23/palm-beach-housekeepers-massive-demand.html Palm Beach housekeepers are making $150,000 a year due to massive demand from the wealthy Sounds like the one use case where "Trickle Down" is trickling down?
  19. I just found out last week that these dorks actually perm their hair. It takes total sense in hindsight, but for the last few years I did wonder "man, waaaaaay more young kids have curly hair this generation than ever before for this stupid brocolli cut". Now, wait until you hear about this haircut trend called "The Edgar" that took over low income areas the last few years.
  20. I get that. I really love his (Ant's) game. I just don't like him as a human being and find him hard to stomach off the court. I guess it's an age old problem that Sir Charles addressed himself in the early 90's with the "I'm not your kids role model, I'm a basketball player first and foremost" comments that was deemed controversial in the pre-internet era.
  21. I bought a Catilin Clark Indiana Fever jersey. Also, it's funny Pancho is out here trying to pretend like he's never heard of the concept of a sneak diss or sublimineal diss before.
  22. Why? Trick Trick is our age. Big Meech is like 50 and rotting in a prison somewhere probably. Snoop is like 60. What should make us feel old is the Narco nepo babies who post tiktoks and instagrams that are like 20 and wildin' out.
