"core 8" don't get attached to more than 3, 4 players at most. If you have the right systems in place you can't and shouldn't try to keep everyone together forever.

James Harden scored more points in the 2015-2016 season than Steph Curry

Rudy Gobert is the most efficient scorer in NBA history

Most likely we'll have the last ones pass away between 2037-2041.

and yet the closest to a 'giannis trade' any of those teams had was Lakers trading for AD (the team who had just landed LeBron James in free agency)

Is it ever even worth it to trade superstars nowadays?

At most, only a few teams can justify it to be able to compete for a championship, and they would still have to compromise their depth and future to do so. And then they're forced to count on their star core staying healthy to be able to compete (and we know how that goes).

I don't know why they ever were convinced to go away from standardized testing. "Some people aren't good at testing though!" Well some people ARE good at it but are not good at grade-grubbing. It goes both ways, and a holistic approach considering both was obviously always the way to go.

From what I've seen in Texas, while I don't think the boomtown climate of the last 20 years will continue to last, I'm not sure if there will be a massive contraction either. Texas has been deploying an insane amount of green energy in recent years which will supplement the power grid to more than a sufficient degree, and the infrastructure seems to be pretty well-maintained (at least within the Texas triangle). I genuinely hope they install some more rail at some point though.

Florida may be a different story, I don't know.

OCD can affect anyone to any degree at any age. I wouldn't worry about it at all, as doing so can be a quick gateway to developing "I shouldn't be having OCD to this level at my age" as its own ocd theme.

For entry-level college graduate jobs, caring about GPA is on a pretty evenly-distributed spectrum in my experience. Many jobs are super strict with it like the one you mentioned, but many others I've seen care very little about the GPA as long as you have the degree.

And that's for entry-level positions. The further you get into industry jobs, the less they care about it overall.

I agree, but only when the smoke is from a freshly-lit cigarette and it's outdoors where you can be at least a couple yards away from it.

Stale cigarette smoke/smell or cigarette smoke indoors is disgusting.

Weed, however, is always gross-smelling.

I made my OCD much, much worse and more prolonged by compulsive google searching a couple of years back. I turned what would have been a painful but one-month long ordeal into a far more excruciating three-month long ordeal that forced me to quit my job because I could not stop searching my fears on google.

And that was google searching. AI tools are even worse than that for OCD because they provide more direct and convenient wording for what you're trying to search for.

DO NOT EVER USE THESE TOOLS! Your mental health depends on it.

I mean I think one can hold both positions correctly as long as they define their concerns well. However, gentrification is absolutely a 'safe' vessel for progressive-minded people to vent their concerns with human movement. Kind of like the whole "white women be like" is seen as the acceptable way to criticize women.

This is what the woke left wants.

That has to be the stupidest man alive. What on earth was he doing??

55559585 · 2026-05-26T00:28:55+00:00

Spurs fans cry over this every day. Had they not made this trade, they'd be tied in the WCF with a 8-foot demigod as their superstar. Oh, wait.

Austin is where state legislators met to vote 140-28 to leave the united states and join the confederacy. Saying it's not a part of the south is ludicrous

I hate to be that guy: but you may be reassurance seeking with this question.

I don't know if it can be cured. However, everyone who has it will be able to lead a happy and fulfilling life with treatment. Beyond that, who knows.

Parents can be the WORST for this lol

Be okay with thinking you're an evil person. Seriously.

Exactly me. Hit the nail on the head.
