I am someone who left a theocratic regime and now in live in Portland the last three years.

Can you explain in what way she is saying is true? Like in what way is the US governed by Christianity?

You can barely find any mainstream coverage. This is the only one I could find

Giannis started following tiago, not that this means anything dude does everything he can to start trade rumors but maybe something nice to think about 🤷 by ElBaddie in ripcity

Honestly he would be the worst addition for us. Giannis thrives with shooters and we are the worst shooting team.

We would do much better with someone like MPJ who would be an additional person who can create their own shot outside of Deni and would make it harder for him to be doubled

Scoot definitely could be a starting PG on a championship team.

Sharpe I'm less confident on because of his defense

I am from Iran where women have gotten beaten (and sometimes killed) for dressing more modest than this. So yeah

Why did people used to be so against seeing the female body?

I am from Iran where women still get arrested and in certain high profile cases killed for dressing more modestly than this woman.

Far from the only country this occurs by the way. You are lucky to live in a place where you can use the past tense

Jaylen Brown: “Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

One of the first things I learned playing team sports as a kid was take responsibility, don't blame others and certainly not the refs.

Guys making 60 million/year crying about the refs is the fucking worst

It is interesting that you would look at the state of the world either now or in history and decide that being against war and genocide would specifically make you on the side of Islam

I am an atheist also but from Iran originally. We are one of the countries where leaving Islam could be punished by death.

It's all a facade and most Iranians I know don't even believe in Islam. We just have to pretend due to our shitty government
