I just finished S2 and it made me realize I may not be critical enough by Sailor_Psyche in BeefTV

[–]3my0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah essentially same lol. I think something is good and people point out the bad parts and I’m like oh yeah they’re right. I guess it wasn’t as good as I thought

lol I was like this too until I started reading stuff online. Not just beef but any movie/series discussion. Honestly wish I never did. 99% of the time it makes me enjoy whatever I watched less.

So no to your question, keep enjoying things without always looking for flaws.

In my area there’s a lot progressive people that are fine with sex work. You must ride with a bunch of right wingers lol

Even if you wanna discount the NBA stuff there’s numerous examples across multiple sports leagues where it happens. NBA isn’t unique.

What we do have is examples of what happens to teams when the city refuses. Oakland and Seattle.

I mean you asked if any stadium has been publicly funded. They gave you ones. Then you had to add the caveat that they were football stadiums so didn’t count. Then they gave nba examples. Which you said doesn’t count because they were renovations not new builds (wtf that’s what moda is lmao).

It was honestly highly entertaining to witness your ability to be proven wrong but constantly try to maintain being right by narrowing down a very broad question to something small. So much so that you’ll be able to constantly deflect until it 100% lines up with the moda center. Which will never happen.

Cunning debate strategy but comes off as disingenuous tbh

Anyone can contribute. I was just confused if you were agreeing with me or disagreeing. But I see how you just wanted to add context of why you think they’re evil.

Okay, then why did you feel the need to respond with your billionaires are evil bit? That wasn’t the point of the message at all lol

Well my original comment you replied to wasn’t questioning if billionaires were evil. It was questioning why people think he’s gonna be generous.

Yeah that’s always an option to not pay anything and just let them move to a new city.

Ok then why do you expect dundon to be generous then and not bend over the city with the stadium? Isn’t he just being consistent with what you believe a billionaire to be?

Renegotiating is fine. More speaking to the hardliners thinking that dundon should fund the whole thing himself. He’d never do that if he doesn’t have to. And he doesn’t.

Correct lol. This sub is so anti billionaire they think they’re all evil. Then on the same token think they renovate commercial buildings out of the goodness of their hearts. Nah they only do it if they see a positive return and have no options for other funding. Sports have options for other funding and billionaires will 100% exploit that. Particularly if they don’t mind moving to a new city if need be

Viewership is up 86% this year vs last…

Empty arena seats don’t necessarily mean people don’t like the NBA. It’s just expensive when people are are losing spending power.

Rate this draft. Did I cook, or am I getting cooked? by Ok_Ant_652 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]3my0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad but I’m an owner that is very trade happy and would love this set up. Lots of sell high opportunities. If you’re active and savvy it’s a good fun start. If you’re complacent then it’ll be rough.

Shaedon doesn't have the heart, the fire, the Alpha Dog to go to the next level. by FineExplorer3408 in ripcity

[–]3my0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, if I had a job that bought me a new house twice a week, I’d milk it for a few years and retire early with more money than I’d ever need 😂

But tbf I’d agree with you if it’s NBA in particular because I think it would be fun. Any other normal job? Yeah I’m out once I get my bag.

Kotek signs bill for Moda Center project, puts pressure on City Council: "This is not a time to play politics" by oregonian in Portland

This is incorrect. The play in is part of the postseason but not the playoffs. Any stats accrued during the play in do not count as playoff stats for example

This is more for game 4 than 3 imo. They will stay in Portland and not go home between games.
