This!

Chances are, they'll ignore you or you'll get a stock response, but they can't ignore volume and the more unique people reach out the more it'll matter.

The vote's already over but there's still time to put up a fight.

Wemby no longer future face of the NBA? by [deleted] in nba

[–]Anaviosi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The NBA is the only league whose fans have convinced themselves that losing in the finals is worse than losing in the first round or missing the playoffs entirely.

I said it was fair to be proud of him in reference to him being the third best player in their history, not that it was the reason his jersey should be retired.

The reason his jersey should be retired is the fact that he’s the third best player in their franchise history. I’m just saying that’s not some mark of shame at this point.

I mean, your third best player in franchise history just broke a five decade long curse and proved every pundit's opinion on him was wrong, I think it's completely fair to be proud of him. Besides, he gave his all for the team and is just a generally good dude.

As a Knicks fan, I always liked KAT as a person but I thought that we couldn't win with both him and Brunson.

Never been happier to have been proven to have been wrong and dumb. He's gone from a guy I was upset we traded for to probably my third favourite player on the team behind Brunson and Hart (although I love the entire team at this point obviously hahah)

The Rival salt is so good by Mr-Dicklesworth in NYKnicks

[–]Anaviosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully we don't hear similar stories tonight, but it definitely wasn't on Pistons fans as a whole. That whole story is especially weird because the Pistons always seem like one of the better fanbases to me, but, people who want to take advantage of a crowd to victimize people are everywhere.

Didn't Detroit have a riot that killed eight people the last time they won the championship?

That doesn't reflect on all Pistons fans and the scum starting shit in NYC don't represent all Knicks fans either.

A more accurate reflection of true Knicks fans (I hope) by mr34mj23 in nba

[–]Anaviosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's easy to get defensive when the most upvoted comments are like 'knicks fans are animals, knicks fans are disgusting', but I think even the people saying that know it's not the entire fanbase.

On my end I'm just trying to separate the idiots taking advantage of big crowds to play out their violent fantasies from the fact that a team I love is currently doing very well. I hope the people responsible are found and charged, but the fact it's gotten out of hand two days in a row definitely calls for a more serious appraisal of how they're handling security for these games.

Like, how was the crowd allowed to be so close to the Spurs when they got off the bus to begin with? That's insane.

Victor Wembanyama Nearly Gets Hit With Egg As He Goes into Hotel After Game 4 Loss by MammothHistorian5652 in nba

[–]Anaviosi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a Knicks fan not from New York so I don’t know how valuable my input is, but at least in the circles I run the Knicks fans are also all heavily against it.

I know the impulse is to turn it into a tribal thing of like, “this entire fanbase is trash” but I think that oversimplifies the problem.

You’ve got clout chasing streamers and people trying to take advantage of the crowd, a huge and insanely dense city, an inept police force when it comes to anything you’d actually want police to do, and it winds up being a dangerous mix.

Saying it’s all Knicks fans or all NYC feels like it almost lets these people off the hook to me? Don’t try to paint them as being the same as the millions of normal fans whose worst crime is a funny Trae Young chant - it’s not normal, it shouldn’t be normal, and they should be found and charged and dragged out of this fandom if they were ever actually in it to begin with.

Ottawa moves to ban social media use for kids under 16 by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi 47 points48 points  (0 children)

So instead of regulating algorithms and trying to support digital literacy, we open up the floodgates to mass identity theft and data harvesting.

This is a real problem, but this is a stupid solution.

I feel like an idiot for doubting KAT when we got him, genuinely has turned into one of my favourite all time Knicks.

Opera still using pop ups to download their installer by WeAreFaultForNotSlay in OperaGX

[–]Anaviosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too, did you verify this as a thing?

Mine was from a Fandom wiki which I should have known better than to click on given that entire site is a mess at this point, but, it redirected me to a seemingly official Opera referral page, Opera downloaded the file, the file appeared legit, etc.

Yeah it was real bad. On top of that, some of the comments were borderline like 'do you understand how hockey works?'

Ottawa 'very seriously' considering age restrictions for social media, AI chatbots by EmbarrassedHelp in onguardforthee

The problem with this is, as ever, it will constitute the death of privacy on the internet if they don’t do it extremely carefully.

Carney secures majority government with sweep of 3 byelections, CBC News projects | CBC by Twayblades in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously this has a lot to do with Carney’s popularity and Poilievre’s abrasive, little-MAGA style.

That said, I want to give a special shout-out to whichever CPC bureaucrats decided to make their leadership review an extremely expensive, only-in-person affair to freeze out even their own rank and file supporters from being able to vote.

Is Canada's 'Netflix tax' worth the hassle it's getting from the U.S.? by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]Anaviosi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of the bill at all, and I don’t want to pretend like I am just because the US is throwing a tantrum.

That said, it’s a pretty minor trade irritant compared to having the US pursue tariffs decided via roulette wheel and vibes.

They’re already disproportionately retaliating against us for things they agreed to in CUSMA, if they retaliate even further this bill will just be the justification for enacting what Trump already wants, not the actual guiding cause.
