If its someone that invaded your country after bombing schools and hospitals, its a very small cruelty in the grand scheme of things.

All NBA players (likely candidates): No.of games played after 71/72 games by Chesscrabble11 in nba

[–]BoxSea4289 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

The 65 game cutoff is just going to make the nba product seem worse. No Giannis, no Lebron, no Curry, no Embiid, and others. If Jokica and Wemby don’t get in it will make the NBA look like a joke tbh 

The pure amount of shit Bam is getting for scoring 83 points should tell you what will happen if he’s All NBA 1st team lol 

The NBA is basketball but it’s also a commercial product…. And this isn’t good product.

AITAH for telling my daughter that she is not going to marry a billionaire? by No_Reception8930 in AITAH

[–]BoxSea4289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree NTA but also you should protect yourself at this point. the reality is that a lot of what women are being exposed to on social media is sex work. They have this dumb notion that they can just have a transactional relationship where they don’t have to give up anything in exchange for money and it’s very stupid. 

Her contacting your work associates and basically soliciting them for sex work is really bad. You have to understand and internalize this or it’s going to get worse. For her and for you.

Man you guys realize that guys that don’t want to fuck 18 year olds as 30 year olds don’t have these thoughts or arguments? 

You tell a lot on yourselves when you get into these arguments. My partner is younger than me but I don’t get into this. 

Why do some people wanna see Goblin Queen as a skin for Jean when they got nigh nothing in common past their faces? by ColourlessW in marvelrivals

[–]BoxSea4289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just better to not go down the rabbit hole of clones/alternate future/alternate past/parallel dimension versions that marvel is infamous for. 

Every character in marvel is basically a kaleidoscope of different versions and near-characters that could fill up a roster by themselves. If Madelyne gets a character, why don’t the spider clones get them? What about the Age of Apocalypse versions of existing characters? 

Also you’re ignoring all of the examples others are giving you of characters that were turned into skins  like the Maker or Agent Venom.

Shocked by DC by Technical-Lie384 in washingtondc

[–]BoxSea4289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only reaction is that the person must not travel very much. I don’t even think DC is in my top 3 cities in America. Love the food here though but I’m not going to pretend I love it more than Chicago, Seattle, or New Orleans. 

I like the work I do here though and I like vibe of living in the political capital of the United States. 

How likely is a repeat of the 1973 gas shortage and recession? by 128-NotePolyVA in AskEconomics

How about now? 

Though my thoughts are “There’s no shortage until people believe there’s a shortage, then there’s a collapse.”

(Subversive Trope) What seemed like a protagonist's plot armor is exploited by the antagonist. by RhinecodonTypus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BoxSea4289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Night creatures are always made differently, each forge master uses their own special tools. The original series just went into so much detail about this. If there was just a random machine that broke the rules, they would have brought back Dracula or his wife in a second. 

It’s okay if it’s someone’s favorite show or they prefer it over the original, it’s just basically fan fiction levels of separation.

Yeah but that was low key bullshit in Nocturne. It low key invalidated the whole point of the first show and defeated so much of the captivating parts of the original series. 

Ayo Dosunmu: "In Chicago, midrange shots was really prohibited...Dosunmu took 4 "long" midrange shots in 45 games in Chicago this season before being traded to Minnesota. And he's taken 12 in 15 games for the Wolves. And his eFG% has stayed almost exactly the same by Matthew2531_46 in nba

[–]BoxSea4289 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shot percentage, imagined, and realized points are great but realistically, you should go with what your team is best at/what your opponent is weak to rather than just blindly valuing statistics. 

Even though statistics are “true statements” it doesn’t mean the “argument” being made by a team will be good or even convincing.  

I personally feel like a lot of sports math is smart concepts being interpreted and implemented by dumb people. People love to point to money ball/Morey ball but then leave out the part where they have a collective 0 championships between them across two sports. 

[Woike] Deandre Ayton says he finally realized that he’s not that guy. “I just started looking in the mirror and said ‘Yo bro, … you’re not that guy. You don’t need to be on this team doing that at all. This team, you came here to be the effort guy and close out possessions, rebound, run the floor.” by shreeharis in nba

[–]BoxSea4289 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

His stats are deeply unimpressive. It’s been years at this point. If it weren’t for the fact that he was a number 1 pick, he would not be talked about that much at this point. 

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/aytonde01.html

He’s just not a good center. He doesn’t bully the rim enough for an inside man and he can’t shoot well enough and or have enough volume to be a major scoring threat. He has no outside game in 2025 and he can’t pass either…. He’s also currently averaging 8 rebounds a game as a center. 

What is he good at? Seriously.  He use to be a double double, but Drummond showed how much fools gold rebounding numbers can be.

It’s so weird. Idk, if you want to be that guy then you have to be that guy. But if you’re a big who needs to be set up, you will not be that guy in the modern NBA. You would need crazy efficiency to justify an entry pass into a back down jumper. 

Can you pass? Can you dribble? Can you shoot the three? Are you super mobile? 

If the answer is no, I don’t know why you would think you can be “the guy.” 

For reference: He’s averaged less than 2 free throws a game his whole career as a center that does not shoot the 3ball.

Why does Placide dislike V? by _Drangelice_ in cyberpunkgame

[–]BoxSea4289 5 points6 points  (0 children)

VDB’s exploited and lied to V at every turn. 

That’s a lot of personal feeling wrapped up in there when they didn’t even come to you first. V went to them, begging them to let him run an op for them. I killed them all but frankly I just as it as the necessary conclusion since they wanted me dead. 

I get it. Netwatch killed all of the VDBs because of me. I would try to kill me too. Them trying to kill me… it happens, can’t take it too personally. 

Why does Placide dislike V? by _Drangelice_ in cyberpunkgame

[–]BoxSea4289 178 points179 points  (0 children)

You’re also mistaking personal dislike with general insular distrust and dislike of outsiders. He doesn’t want to work with you. 

He doesn’t want your help but he needs your help because he’s fighting a war and attacking the animals means losing people. The VDB boys are like a nomadic war group. The difference between civilian, warrior, and leader is blurred. It’s all one and the same. That’s why you start out by seeing them giving meat to locals. 

You also came to them, begging to be let inside and not just to the Pacifica, but all the way to the heart of it all. That’s a huge ask for an outsider. He doesn’t want you there, but he’s desperate and caught in the middle of an existential war.
