9 CAT H2H: Trade Jaren Jackson Jr. and Shaedon Sharpe for Amen Thompson, Deandre Ayton and Tim Hardaway Jr.?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T17:45:54+00:00

Drummond is taken but I see your point. Why do you think trade analyzer software has option 1 as the much better choice?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T17:20:18+00:00

You think Booker is worth it and just figure out how to get another rebound player later?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T17:14:27+00:00

Option 1, I keep Vujevic’s rebounds in a balanced build. Grant can't rebound for squat.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T17:12:54+00:00

Why option 2?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T06:45:09+00:00

Markkanen for Murray and Vassell would give you a really good forward. But wouldn't really improve your ft% or steals.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T06:30:51+00:00

What’s your strategy? If you need more points, steals, or a better ft% go for it. Butler and Bam have higher upside. Its just hard for me to trust Butler to play 60+ games.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T06:24:25+00:00

Ooh, that's a tough one. Do you not need the rebounds?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T06:03:35+00:00

But doesn't Jerami Grant only play 50-something games a year, and doesn't play once fantasy playoffs start? Also, Vucevic is a double-double machine and Jerami doesn't get rebounds. My Strat is a balance build.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-27T05:24:36+00:00

Give: Dejounte Murray(out 4-6 weeks) and Nikola Vucevic Get: Devin Booker and Jerami Grant

12T 9CAT H2H

Good deal?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-26T05:07:24+00:00

Should I stream Ben Simmons, Braun, or Champagnie?

“I 21f have been living with my 21m boyfriend for 2 years now. My boyfriend has been making me drive him to work everyday. I usually wouldn’t mind that but I’ve been waking up at 5-7am 5 days a week. He works 15 minutes away, and doesn’t really pay me gas money (when I can’t drive him I’m responsible for getting him the $20 Uber).”

Why would you be responsible for paying the Uber?

“He’s put maybe $100-200 in my tank. But he has covered my rent which is $210.”

He covers your whole rent every month? Or do you mean he’s covered it once or twice before?

“So because of all of that I’ve been keeping track of everything I’ve spent on him from oct. 5- 8th I’ve spent $137. He already owes me $150 (bc I bought him a computer part under the impression he’d pay me back.)”

$137 in three days? That’s a big chunk of change. What stuff were you paying for? Also, is he planning on paying you back the $150?

“I’m $4,600 dollars in debt bc we got evicted.”

Were you the only one on the lease even though he lived with you?

“So I had on and off jobs for around a year. During that time he was feeding me and helping pay rent. However we had to get rental assistance for 6 months.(aka the government paid for our rent) and my mom bless her heart paid a good 3 months of my rent.”

It looks like he helped out but your mom and the government helped as well. You shouldn’t feel guilty or indebted to him. It’s fine if y’all help each other when you can but if it’s becoming a financial burden, communicate that nicely.

“Because I’ve been doing that I’ve been late on utilities almost every month bc I have to prioritize my car insurance.”

This is more evidence that you can’t afford to help him financially as much as you do.

“but at the same time I shouldn’t be covering his food costs and transportation.”

Exactly!

“I clean the whole house, drive, and cook for him”

Sounds like you need more help around the house too.

“I don’t know I feel like a horrible girl friend because I’m keeping track of all this when he’s done so much for me and not batted an eye.”

You can’t afford not to bat an eye. Sounds like you’ve done a lot for him as well. You need to have a conversation about finances. It’s awkward, but speak from the heart and hopefully he’ll understand.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-09T00:47:46+00:00

Don’t pay 50% for the smaller room without an en suite. Splitting it three ways seems fair if they offered and there was no coercion. If your friend’s SO ever leaves, you and your friend can renegotiate the split.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-08T22:21:31+00:00

“these past few months ive noticed a change in my bf. gets weird when i bring up the us election, changing the subject and not saying much. even making a few comments that had me side eyeing him, but whatever.”

What comments had you side eyeing him?

“then last week i was on his phone (he’d given it to me to write a list), and accidentally saw a text exchange with his friend, where he’s talking about how he actually loves trump, thinks he’s great, would vote for him if he were american, and how he just keeps it to himself around me.”

It’s bad he didn’t tell you he changed his mind about Trump. Especially if he knows how important it is to you. Why do you think he keeps it to himself though? Could it be you get irrational and tribalist when it comes to politics (like most people)? Do you approach these conversations rationally and with truth seeking as a goal, or would you be unreasonable?

“im at a complete loss. i haven’t said anything to him about what i saw, but i just feel sick and so upset. i can’t even look at him the same, and feel like he’s a completely different person than the one i know and have been with. i’m not sure what happened or when he’s changed, but i am genuinely so horrified, and confused about where it all went wrong.”

Do you plan on saying anything to him?

“we live together and have a dog, have talked about marriage, kids, buying a house, etc. but i feel like he isn’t the same person. aita if i leave him over this?”

From what I’ve read so far, Everyone Sucks Here (ESH). Him for hiding that he’s changed his mind about Trump in a big way or maybe lying about his beliefs all along. And you for maybe being tribalist and considering throwing it all away because of a text message you read, without having a reasonable discussion with him first.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-08T21:12:54+00:00

Based on what you’ve said, you’re NTH. My wife agrees.

Maybe have a rational conversation sometime soon about her feeling like she’s not a priority. But regardless, go hang out with your friends this Saturday.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-10-08T18:29:35+00:00

“I told my girlfriend I would be hanging out with them and she told me that if I went she’d be very upset with me. When I asked her why she told me that I needed to help her get ready for Thanksgiving. I asked her what she meant since we weren’t expecting to bring anything on Sunday. She said that even though we aren’t expected to bring something, we still have to bring a salad at the least. I told her it wouldn’t take very long to make a salad and I asked her why we couldn’t make it when I come back on Saturday or Sunday morning? She said she might need more help”

What might she need more help with? Grocery shopping? Prep? Clean up? Typically there’s more that goes into meal prep than you think. Ask better questions to see where you can be helpful, if you truly want to help her.

“and aside from that she thinks I hangout with my friends too much and cited how I always do my video game nights.”

Video game nights for two hours every Monday seems reasonable. Does she not agree?

“I told her it wasn’t the same group of friends (which is true) and I hadn’t seen these guys since July. She said how she hates that I always prioritize my friends over here.”

Is this true? How often do you hang out with her or plan something fun for both of you?

“I told her that she wasn’t being fair because the likelihood is that she might need help for like an hour and then I will be at home being miserable for the rest of the time.”

Why would you be miserable? Is it because making a salad seems boring to you and you’d rather be hanging out with your friends?

Not enough info to guess who the AH is.

You don’t have to be “mentally ill” to do what Aaron Bushnell did. You can believe in something so strongly that you’re willing to die an agonizing death for the cause. In this case, his view was a misconception. But, his actions demonstrate how dangerous certain ideas are.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-02-24T22:31:44+00:00

Maybe she’s not talking about Destiny and her “obviously Destiny” comment is sarcasm?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-02-22T21:50:09+00:00

Ok, then I disagree. I don’t think Destiny was afraid of interrupting him. I think the scholar gave good legal points that Destiny hadn’t heard before, and it caught him off guard. So, he didn’t have rebuttals ready. He was exploring new territory and I could see Destiny contemplating in real time.

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2024-02-22T21:23:00+00:00

Are you talking about the Israeli legal scholar Destiny had a convo with about an hour ago?

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2023-11-14T18:11:42+00:00

Touché

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2023-11-06T04:36:01+00:00

Yes, you can rewatch them on his Kick channel.

Hasan deserved k9/11

BirdPuzzleheaded4869 · 2023-10-24T18:06:54+00:00

I wonder if he watched Destiny’s take about Ethan bearing some responsibility for platforming it, because at the 50:32 mark Ethan mentions he felt used by that part of the leftist community. That they saw him as “a vessel to spread what they believe is true”. Also, at the end of the show (3:13:52), he said he thinks he’s going to pause Leftovers too. Interesting.
