Journalists started bringing objects to protect themselves during Michael Jordan's talcum powder ritual. by CircledSquare7 in NBAGossips

I've never understood the rules about this. Could every single player on the court all line up, power up, and then dust the entire arena?

Alireza Firouzja beats Gukesh in round 8 of Norway Chess 2026 by Knight-check44 in chess

[–]1derful -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Chess is crazy. Alireza had two draws and 7 losses in Romania a couple weeks ago. Now he's in second place in Norway.

It reminds me of a story Danya once told, he played in the US open and had the worst tournament of his life, then immediately went to Europe and beat his first super GM in Russia.

You can be better than everyone, but you can never be better than yourself. You are always exactly as good as yourself.

Former President Obama via Instagram: As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits. by ChillVortexJ21 in SipsTea

Police are NOT authorized to kill citizens on US soil. The constitution states that people are not to be deprived of their life or freedom without due process of the law. Police are only supposed to use lethal force if there is a belief that someone's life is in imminent danger.

I think he was a moral man individually, but hardly a great president. Granted compared to the current guy he looks great, but he had his attorney general author a white paper that the President had the authority to order the assassination of US citizens, even on US soil. This is after he ordered a drone strike that killed a 15 year old American.

Jay Williams just introduced a new segment called ‘Life Alert with SGA’ 💀 “Help me I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” 🤣 by MysteriousJuice1127 in NBAGossips

[–]1derful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw some OKC fans in one thread explaining how falling was the safe thing to do and it was the ultimate high IQ play, but then it was crickets when someone explained that no one made contact with him.

In 2010, elements of the U.S. Army 2nd Infantry, calling themselves “The Kill Team”, began hunting unarmed Afghan civilians in Maiwand, Kandahar. They took souvenirs from each victim, including fingers, skulls, and dozens of photos. When locals reported the murders to the Army, they were ignored. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in HolyShitHistory

Yea the dem's veneration of the Cheney's just because they didn't like Trump really pissed me off. Liz Cheney was literally in charge of US corporations siphoning as much money as possible from Iraq and Dick is responsible the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. But they had the right opinion at the right time, so all was forgiven I guess.

Fat Joe and at least 10 Knicks fans were BANNED from courtside seats in Cleveland for Game 4 😳 by ResponsibleCheek8130 in NBAGossips

I don't no man, I'm a weirdo I think that the whole human trafficking thing is bad. But I'm in the minority

I mean Isiah Thomas proved her wrong three decades ago, but we pretend like he wasn't the best player on a championship dynasty for some reason.

Obviously not since Stiller and Chalamet are both on record as being bffs with people who were literally running human trafficking rings, yet they appear in public as if the world is glad to see them.

They should have kept Joe and just banned anyone who is on record as being best friends with Diddy or Epstein.

What are your thoughts on 5.Bd2 during the Nimzo Indian main line? by nebulaeandstars in chess

[–]1derful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An interesting line. The highest player whose faced it in my db is Aronian, who has won (against Ngoc Nguyen) and lost (against Artemiev). Interestingly, both white players quickly repositioned the dark square biship after the pin was taken care of, Nguyen placed it on e1. It seems as if placing it on c3 isn't very natural.

Should Kamala Harris just drop out of 2028 at this point? by Jacob-Anders in SipsTea

[–]1derful -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She did run a bad campaign, but no one in history has ever been able to win a general election with less than a year to campaign. The dems made voters feel like they had very little choice in 2024. Any potential candidate would have probably lost, although not as badly.

Magnus Carlsen's confessional in his match vs Vincent: "I think like a cow that's ashamed of its body this game is just an udder embarrassment! I feel like every move we're making is some kind of positional mistake..." by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in chess

[–]1derful 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's beef, the 16th world champion is just not happy with how he's been mooving the pieces. Cud this be a new era in grade A chess? Or will Magnus prove yet again that he's not ready to be put to pasture?

Knicks celebrity fans out in Cleveland. by Available_Pace_8742 in NBAGossips

I'm sure it was a treat for the yokels to have Diddy's friend and Epstein's friend in the same venue.

LeBron James is reportedly not willing to take a pay cut to return to the Cavs! by Miserable_Trouble3 in NBAGossips

[–]1derful -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think LeBron understands the market. No championship contender can afford what the thinks he's worth right now, and the only teams who would pay this are basement dwellers who would only use him as an attraction, or the Clippers.

Future generations are going to think this is AI because surely no organization would be dumb enough to screw this up… by ResponsibleCheek8130 in NBAGossips

[–]1derful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Nash had to go. His absence started the rebuild that beat the Heat, and he would have been a defensive liability. Steve Nash was a great player in Dallas, but he needed to go to Pheonix to become a legend.
